The Lighthouse story began in 2009 with a blank slate and a big dream.
Our founders, Dr. Graham Jenkins and his wife, Jan Jenkins had a dream to create a regional wellness centre that focused on human performance, spinal correction and nerve system rehabilitation. Full body wellness.
Big vision, humble beginnings.
Fast forward 13 years and Lighthouse is now the go-to clinic in the Okanagan for performance-based structural and neurological correction. Lighthouse is one of a small handful of Advanced Biophysics Centers in all of Canada and we are excited to be a research arm for UBC on how chiropractic impacts human immune function.
And without giving away the punchline on our research. . . it’s looking really exciting!
All that being said, if you want excellence in your diagnosis, a well-rounded and integrated care plan then Lighthouse is for you. Our care plans can be for individuals or entire families and include corrective chiropractic, kinesiology, exercise and massage therapy.
We not only deal with your pain, but we will see you through to heal your body and likely perform better than before you were injured or felt pain.
Currently, we have a team of 3 chiropractors, 3 kinesiologists, 2 massage therapists and a top-notch administrative team that keeps everything running smoothly.
If you and your family are looking for a strategy that can boost your health, and increase your energy and performance then we’d love to meet you and find out if what we do fits the dreams and goals you have for your life.
I had chronic upper back shoulder neck pain for the last eight to nine years, and I was really just hoping to get it fixed. I can sleep at night without waking up, I can drive without my left arm going numb. Everything day to day, I feel better.
I’d absolutely recommend it, not just for chiro but I’ve had kinesiology as well and I think it’s a fabulous team.
The best part about being here as a patient is you get answers, so it’s simplicity. Being able to understand what’s going on, and being able to actually make those changes in your day to day life. I would highly recommend to anybody that I know to definitely come see Lighthouse.
Honestly I couldn’t drive, I couldn’t check my blind spot, I couldn’t move my back at all. I felt like my life is over and I didn’t even know how to fix it. I remember I was crying after my first adjustment, first from relief and from “Oh my God, I can feel my back again!”
I’m sitting a lot when I’m working, and what I started noticing is that I have a lot of lower back pain and middle back pain, and it started bugging me a lot. The very first moment when I came through the doors, I saw the friendliness, this human approach to the problems. I did go to a lot of places before and it was not the same. Here kind of felt like home.
Since I was 12, I’ve had scoliosis that I had 13 back surgeries for. I’ve had metal rods put in and taken out and I’ve always had back pain since then. So far every month or so they do X-rays and a progress report, and it’s always been positive, it’s always going in the right direction we want it to go.
They are an integral part of my journey, and for me to maintain my baseline of pain management. It all comes together to help me maintain that quality and that baseline to help me managing my pain.
As a society, we are living longer. But are we living better? The 100+ Living Plan is a practical and attainable plan of attack to do everything we can to ensure our last decade of life is filled with joy, hope and activity and NOT spent in the hospital or a long term care facility.
