Introducing Vancouver chiropractor Dr. Garry Pow

Dr. Garry Pow

We take pride in our office where you'll enjoy a friendly, pleasant and comfortable visit ... “I admit, I was a skeptic,” remembers Dr. Garry Pow.  “A friend insisted that I go see his chiropractor for a low back injury playing hockey that resulted in disc surgery.  The recovery was just not going well.  Immediately I thought I can’t see a chiropractor I’ve had back surgery!  My friend persisted and reluctantly I made an appointment.” 

“The results were incredible,” continues Dr. Pow.  “Those 1st adjustments allowed me to participate in my activities again without back pain for the first time since the surgery.  Dr. Pow was forever grateful for his friend’s advice and it started him thinking about becoming a chiropractor.

When all this was happening Dr. Pow was completing his bachelors degree in Kinesiology (study of human motion and athletics) at SFU in Canada.  After graduation he managed an upscale workout facility, trained some stars (you can ask him to do some name dropping), but most importantly began receiving referrals from several chiropractors in the area who sent him their patients to show them how to exercise safely and properly.  He heard story after story about how the chiropractor had helped them in many different ways. “It was then that I made the decision to become a chiropractor myself,” says Dr. Pow.

Dr. Pow was accepted at Western States Chiropractic College and began 4 intense years of training that included, biochemistry, a major emphasis on anatomy and human physiology, x-ray, diagnosis, chiropractic techniques and patient care in the WSCC public clinic.  After graduation, Dr. Pow opened up a practice in Vancouver, WA and was asked to be a part-time instructor in the chiropractic technique department at WSCC.

“We love skeptics,” smiles Dr. Pow.  “I still remember the concern and apprehension I had when I went to that chiropractor for the first time.  We make it a point to explain everything in advance and answer any and all questions as completely as possible.  I remember appreciating it when it was done for me and I know my patients today appreciate that.”

Dr. Pow has been married to his wife Diane since 1989 and they have 3 active boys.  “I believe that the best way to create a desire in our kids to be active is to lead by example.  It will be a gift that will last a lifetime,” states Dr Pow.  “I check their spines regularly.”   Dr. Pow loves staying active by playing and coaching soccer, golf and hiking.  He would like to someday shoot his age on the golf course.  “Based on my scores today I am going to have to take really good care of my body because I will need to still be out there when I am really old,” laughs Dr. Pow.  “I see my regular adjustments as an investment in the quality of life and how active and mobile I will be in the future.”  With this in mind Dr. Pow also supplements his diet with a quality multivitamin, omega-3, glucosamine sulfate and a Co-Q10.

Dr. Garry  Asks some important questions of interest to Vancouver residents - Chiropractor Vancouver Dr. Garry Asks...

How do you "catch" a cold?
Simply lower your resistance by avoiding the proper rest and exercise, eating lots of sugar and junk food, putting up with emotional stress and neglecting your nervous system by avoiding your chiropractor. You won't have to catch a cold because it will catch you!
How do most people deal with vertebral subluxations?
First, they try to ignore them. When they don't, they go to the medicine cabinet to stop their brain from feeling the symptom. Later, back surgery may be threatened. Sadly, it's not until this later stage that they consult our Vancouver chiropractic office. Yet, even with the delay, most are delighted by the results produced by today's chiropractic care.
