Services & Techniques

At Lansdowne Chiropractic, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic wellness care to our patients. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services we offer in our Coquitlam office.


Chiropractic Care

We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a Doctor of Chiropractic, I have years of training and experience in spinal adjustment.


Massage Therapy

We offer the services of Tammy Palmer, R.M.T. for your tired, injured or life induced stressed myofascial network. Ms. Palmer has been with our office for over 18 years. She has a wide range of skills and myofascial techniques to address any muscle dysfuction issue that you may have. Whether your muscles need a calming lymphatic and blood circulation boost or deep structural corrective change for the office worker, Mom/Dad, athlete or all of that combined Ms. Palmer will advise you of your myofascial needs.

Orthotic Foot Support

Orthotics are devices worn in your shoes that provide correction to your feet, helping them to function more efficiently. Poor foot function and alignment may be the cause of various pains such as Achilles tendonitis, iliotibial band syndrome, metatarsalgia, Morton's neuroma, plantar fasciitis, runner's knee, sacroiliac syndrome, shin splints, general foot, knee, hip and low back pain. Click here to link to detailed explanations of any of the preceding conditions.

This office has successfully been providing orthotics for our clients for years. Dr. Nero uses his extensive experience along with his knowledge of foot mechanics and the TOG GaitScan™, a state of the art computer hardware and software, to detect abnormal foot function that may be affecting your feet or other parts of your body.

The TOG GaitScan™ is an innovative diagnostic tool and digital casting device that allows Dr. Nero to analyze patient biomechanics and order custom orthotic products. With 4096 sensors and a scan rate of 300 frames per second, GaitScan™ is the industry leader in dynamic scanning capabilities.

What does this mean for you? A new, in-depth method of assessing your gait cycle with a dynamic scan gives Dr. Nero access to a wealth of information that cannot be obtained with the naked eye. Over a million points of data are recorded, tracking minor flaws in your biomechanics and shedding light on issues that if left untreated, could develop into painful conditions over time.

The TOG GaitScan™ is a valuable tool that provides Dr. Nero with a comprehensive biomechanical analysis for each patient as well as clear, concise images to assess and articulate the need for orthotic therapy.

We put our best foot forward (pun intended) to give you the most accurate diagnosis and subsequent product.

Corrective Exercises

We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.


Lifestyle Advice

We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.

We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patient´s return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Dr. James Nero can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs.
