Dr. Adams
Chiropractor
I was a competitive athlete and my main sport was football, which I played for 15 years, including 3 years
at the university level.
I also had a serious car accident at 15 years old, where I suffered a whiplash-type injury. From my late teens to early 20’s I had about a 7-8 year period of chronic pain. Ongoing daily neck pain, upper back pain, radiating arm pain, and numbness in both of my hands. It progressed to include low back pain, sciatic pain, and unstable shoulders.
Every 3-4 months I would have a severe episode where I would not be able to move my neck or do much of anything for days or sometimes weeks. I saw
many different health professionals and I liked all of the natural therapies (massage therapy, physio,
naturopathic medicine, acupuncture and chiropractic) but nothing I tried offered more than temporary relief.
I did not let anything stop me as I was training at a high level, playing football, studying as a full-time student and even working as a cook on the weekends. My problems were often dismissed by medical professionals as a product of my training and the stresses of being a student. It wasn’t until my 3rd year in university that I finally had x-rays taken and my spine properly assessed by a very thorough chiropractor (the fact that no other doctor recommended x-rays up until that point still boggles my mind). I had a complete loss of the normal curve in my neck and degenerative changes (arthritis) in all three regions of my spine (in my early 20’s). This particular doctor created a lightbulb moment for me. I
started to see that many of my health problems were caused by mechanical issues that were impacting the delicate nerves in my spine.
These problems had developed as a result of the traumas and stresses I had experienced in my life. I finally had HOPE and an Intelligent Gameplan to correct and stabilize my spine. I started to do specific work to correct my spinal structure and function. Very quickly I began to see significant symptomatic improvement.
This was enough evidence for me (a Kinesiology student at the time) that I “HAD TO” become a chiropractor to learn more, fully correct my spine, and one day help other people find hope and intelligent solutions for their health challenges. I am happy to say that I have maintained my improved/corrected spinal structure and function now for over 20 years. I use my personal health experience, my clinical experience, and current scientific evidence to determine the best possible approach for each patient. I have been in full-time practice since 2005, working first in Ontario and then in BC. Myself, my wife Tina and my daughters Gabriella and Claire have called the Okanagan
home since 2016.

I went into Dr.J barely walking around 6 months ago, and even though this was in the beginning of covid times, they still squeezed me in as fast as they could. He did a full body analysis, and realized my hip was completely seized up. With so much reassurance from himself and his staff within a few weeks I was back on my feet and felt as if nothing had happened. I regularly go for maintenance to keep my body and mind in great health, and every time you go, you really do learn how important chiropractors really are. I couldn’t have done it alone and I couldn’t be more appreciative of everyone at Lighthouse Chiro. I highly recommend this team, they are such wonderful people, and truly want you to benefit from every adjustment. So thankful everyday!! read less

Was impressed for the the first visit. Welcomed by the MOA, the information was educational, easy to follow and understand making me feel very comfortable and trusting that I was in good hands. Although I was not having major problems, I had discomfort in my neck and shoulders. Having trouble being comfortable while sleeping. The consult after ex-rays were throughly explained and a mutually agreeable program was set in place. After a few visits I noticed a difference. I have fewer aches and pains, my sleep improved and I felt more stronger throughout the day. As I continue the program Dr. Ken has been great. He runs his appointments on time, is gentle and confident in the adjustments and I learn something after every visit. I would recommend Lighthouse Chiropractic and Dr. Ken to anyone and everyone. Thank you. read less

They took me under their wing and have been helping me recover for a few months now and I can’t thank them enough! Dr. J is awesome at what he does, I never feel discomfort after he adjusts my back or neck. Nicole digs in deep to get those knotted up muscles and understands when to not push you to much. Kate has given me great stretches and exercises to help get me back up to my former range of motion and strength. Couldn’t have asked for a better team to get me back to all the things I have struggled with for the last few months! read less

I tried a few simple exercises and even purchased a new bed, but somehow it made no difference. Realizing that this was difficult to deal with, I then decided to contact Dr, Ken Adams for a chiropractic approach. Dr Ken did a thorough, unrushed analysis of my problematic areas and and coached me on how to get great results with his guidance. After a few treatments I can honestly say my lower back pain has totally diminished. Definitely 5 star in my books. read less

I brought my daughter in when she was an infant to help with her severe dislike of the car seat. It worked almost instantly, I only ended up having to bring her about 3 or 4 times in total and noticed a change immediately after bringing her the first time. I didn’t have to bring her again until after she turned one for another issue and again they helped resolve what is going on right away. I go myself for some issues I am experiencing and so does my husband. I highly recommend this chiropractor as they definitely know what they are doing and don’t waste your time! read less

I was very impressed by Dr. Ken’s wealth of knowledge. He was very professional, friendly, and thorough, and did a fantastic job of explaining the initial findings of my first assessment, in a way that I could clearly understand. He created a treatment plan and after less than a month of receiving chiropractic adjustments from Dr. Ken, my migraines completely stopped, and I’m able to sleep soundly through the night for the first time in years. My energy levels have also improved, and I haven’t had any issues with my restless legs syndrome, which used to be very disruptive to my life. There is no doubt that these significant improvements to my mental and physical health are owed to my chiropractic treatments with Dr. Ken. He also has done a great job of outlining exercises that have been easy to incorporate into my daily routine. These exercises have also really helped with my chronic pain and have greatly improved my posture. I would highly recommend Dr. Ken to anyone in search of a chiropractor! He is the first chiro that I’ve ever been to and I’m so thankful to be under his care. read less

Within no time he had an appointment to see Dr. Travis. I myself had received a back injury 3 years before and had flare ups from time to time. Every night going to bed and getting up in the morning was difficult due to this injury and being only 30 years old I knew I needed to do something. My husband had commenced a treatment plan with Dr. Travis and spoke so highly of his skills and compassion; so I too decided to jump in and try it out for myself. I am just over halfway through my treatment plan and I have results. I no longer need to sleep with a pillow in between my legs, I can get out of bed with ease and walking long distances no longer results in lots of ohhs and ahhs and uncomfortable post workout stretches. The office itself is well run and spotless. Both receptionists we have met make the therapeutic cycle complete. They welcome you when you arrive and genuinely care how you are doing. Helping you set up future appointments and payment with ease. read less

Needless to say, I wasn’t getting the results I needed and anxiously made an appointment at Lighthouse after a friend highly recommended them. After my first hands on adjustment, the first thing I thought was, I can’t believe I avoided that for two years! My anxiety around the idea of being cracked disappeared immediately after. Dr Ken Adams was great throughout the assessment – he was super informative and we made a plan that worked best for me financially, and what worked best with my schedule. There was ZERO pressure! If you’re looking to dive into chiropractors for the first time but feeling a little unsure or even looking for someone new, I highly recommend Dr Ken Adams! I look forward to every adjustment! I feel great! Aaand…. They were also able to direct bill to my insurance, which was an added bonus!! read less

I couldn’t get in and out of my truck without inventing some new language, walking was a pain and generally i was in pretty bad shape. I asked my son who he was using as a chiropractor and he suggested Dr. Jenkins and his team.My son phoned for me about lunchtime and they were going to squeeze me in at 2:00 the same day! But I had to pick up kids etc so an appointment was made for the next day.I showed up and there was ample parking, walked in and was greeted by the whole team. I thought it was unusual as I was used to being treated with indifference at my old chiropractor, you know, sit down, shut up, wait your turn, don’t touch anything, keep your hands to yourself etc. I didn’t know what to expect but it was a consultation and X-rays on the spot. Pretty quickly, Dr J could see where things were going wrong in my back and i was asked to come in within a day or two. Dr. J went over things with me and adjusted me a bit and got me on a device to help get my back stretched out. All the while being gentle even though as my better half describes me as “The old big burly guy”So, later I got a text on my phone asking how I was feeling, wanted to make sure I was okay from Dr. J. I mean who does this in this day and age of, ‘Take a number and we’ll see if we can get you in when it’s convenient for us”But, yesterday while in for more adjustment I casually asked Dr. J if he knew of a martial arts place (I’m fairly new in town) as my way below height 8 year is on the receiving end of some on going unwanted attention from a Sasquatch sized kid in his class. This morning, I got a great email with a well rounded and carefully thought out list of available places that could teach my football sized kid a few defence techniques so he can hopefully divert Sasquatch somewhere else.What I’m getting at is Dr. J and his team take an interest in not only our health, but your well being. It’s more than required, but it’s very welcolmed. So, why would you want to go anywhere else with people like this?But more importantly, my back feels a million times better!
