Dr. Bonn has helped me tremendously, first with healing a pinched nerve/lower back situation, and thereafter with general prevention and maintaining a healthy condition overall. She is very knowledgeable all-around wellness of the body and mind, and always treated me carefully and professionally – I am confident in recommending her to anybody who could use a little or a lot of help with their overall wellbeing!

Dr. Bonn is my go-to when I am out of line. Her soft touch and precision moves always get me back on track and she always finds a way to get me in when the need is urgent. She is the best chiropractor that’s ever worked on me… I can honestly say Chiro has become a bit of an addiction. Thank you, Dr. Bonn! See you tomorrow!

Be Chiropractic Wellness is the absolute best for chiropractic care in Vancouver. I’ve been seeing Dr. Stephanie Bonn for nearly six years to help with my scoliosis and neck pain. She’s extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient – my only regret is not coming in when I was younger. Thank you Dr. Bonn!

Dr. Stephanie Bonn at Be Chiropractic Wellness was absolutely amazing. It was my first time going to a chiropractor and my expectations were far exceeded. Just after a first consultation my neck problems were assessed, explained to me, and readjusted; I feel better already! I 100% recommend to anyone needing any readjustment or chiropractic care. More appointments already booked!

Frequently Asked Questions

Our top 10 questions on family chiropractic care:

Your spine is an integral part of your mind and body. From even before you are born, your brain communicates and controls the many functions of your body through the nervous system. The nerves from the brain run down your spine to each and every part of you. Many families experience unavoidable physical, mental and chemical stresses (such as lack of sleep, less exercise, balancing work with home life). These stresses can cause tension in the spine (called subluxations) and irritate the corresponding nerves. Over time, subtle spinal subluxations may cause pain, stress, degeneration and even organ dysfunction. Your chiropractor will release the tension in your spine (through adjustments) so that your body can function optimally and express a maximum state of health and wellness. Many families are proactive and have regular chiropractic check-ups much in the same way we preventatively see a dentist. Chiropractic maintenance is a natural approach for a healthier and happier family.

Chiropractic is one of the safest forms of healthcare for expectant mothers and their children. It is a natural, drug-free, non-invasive approach specific to the mother and child. Your chiropractor will use individualized techniques to release spinal tension with as little amount of pressure as a finger touch. Special pillow supports assist the pregnant mother for comfortable care. Infants and children relax and enjoy their adjustments. Safe and gentle care for you and your family.

During the first trimester, adjustments can help balance your spine and pelvis prior to the increase in weight gain to prevent prenatal back pain as well as help you adapt to all the changes such as fatigue, nausea and headaches. In the second trimester, proper alignment continues to assist in the stability of your spine so that you can stay active, sleep well and handle ergonomic strain. As you move through the third trimester, specific techniques help with common occurrences such as sciatica, rib pain, ligament tension, pubic dysfunction, tailbone strain, plantar fasciitis and carpal tunnel syndrome.

The Webster Technique, founded by Dr. Larry Webster of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, is a specific chiropractic sacral analysis and adjustment. The number of adjustments required vary, depending on the individual and health history. As well, your chiropractor can recommend exercises, postural changes and ergonomic modifications to support you through your pregnancy.

Postnatal care will help you recover from your pregnancy and birth so that you can focus on the health and wellness of your new baby and enjoy the precious days of your “babymoon.” It is best to have a chiropractic adjustment within the first few weeks so that you have optimal balance as your ligaments tighten. Chiropractic care will continue to help with the common “mommy strains” such as neck and upper back pain, headaches, fatigue, stress and wrist tendonitis. Techniques will be modified to accommodate your recovery whether from a vaginal birth or cesarean section. As well, your chiropractor can assist you with specific postnatal exercises and the proper ergonomics of nursing and carrying your newborn. And a family wellness program will support you through the exciting changes that occur as your baby grows and develops.

Having a chiropractic newborn assessment within the first few weeks following birth can help support the health of your new baby. The unavoidable stresses of pregnancy and birth may contribute to the following:
baby looks and/or keeps his/her head more to one side
problems with latch or suck when breastfeeding
flattening of head
inconsolable periods of crying
colic and gas
gastric reflux/uncomfortable spitting up
struggles to move bowels
sleep difficulties
hip joints click
If your baby has any of these issues, chiropractic is a natural way to assist in decreasing spinal tension. A newborn check-up will also help to support your baby through his or her growth and developmental milestones.

Many infants suffer from gas and colic, especially in their first 3 months of life. They are born with their digestive systems still developing and must suddenly adapt to being nourished from an umbilical cord to breastfeeding. They may also have spinal tension from inutero or the birth itself. This spinal nerve irritation (subluxation) can interrupt the connection between your baby’s brain and the functions of his/her digestion. Pediatric chiropractic care gently and safely removes this tension to allow your baby’s digestive system to work as effectively and efficiently as possible. In fact, the latest research has proven chiropractic care to be more effective than traditional medicine in the treatment of colic with significantly reduced hours of crying from discomfort (JMPT 1999, 22 (8)). A natural way to help your baby help him/herself.

Your baby goes through incredible physical and neurological changes especially during their first year of life. For optimal growth and development, your child should be checked periodically by your chiropractor. Removing spinal tension will help with specific issues such as nursing difficulties and colic and help prevent future health problems like ear infections and asthma. Many parents remark on how healthy their children are when they are under chiropractic maintenance care and how effectively they reach their growth and developmental milestones. Just like us, children cannot avoid certain stresses that may cause spinal tension whether its from sleeping without neck support as a newborn, the many falls of a toddler or the sports and backpack strains of youth. Infants and children respond to their adjustments better than adults because they don’t have years of spinal strain to overcome and their spines are more adaptable. And it is far better to remove spinal tension before symptoms arise once their body cannot compensate for the imbalances. For healthier children and generations to come!

Along with chiropractic adjustments, your chiropractor can help you with other health-related questions and issues. Specific exercises are recommended for both the prenatal and postnatal period. Nutritional and supplement recommendations can help ease pregnancy-related symptoms such as nausea, fatigue and heartburn. Certain foods can decrease your baby’s chance of colickiness and sensitivities. Relaxation and breathing techniques will aid you through labour and the common worries of parenthood. Your chiropractor can also give you support with breastfeeding, sleep habits and properly wearing your baby for both your comfort. As your baby grows, your chiropractor can check his or her developmental milestones and offer guidance on such issues as car seat use, backpack safety and scoliosis screening. And don’t forget that Dad’s spine can also benefit from chiropractic care too! Your family chiropractor is there for support every step of the way.
