Maple Ridge Chiropractors
Dr. Tomek Pajak, Maple Ridge Chiropractor
I first went to a chiropractor when I was 16 years old for a shoulder injury I suffered playing basketball. The local chiropractor in Port Coquitlam was very thorough and knowledgeable. I had my shoulder evaluated along with the rest of my spine. Although I did not have any symptoms in my neck the chiropractor said that there were a few small problems affecting the joints in my neck. He called them "subluxations." The chiropractor immediately began treatment on my shoulder and also adjusted my neck. The relief was instantaneous. It felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders after my first adjustment. I realized that day that just because one doesn't have symptoms doesn't necessarily mean that they are functioning at 100% of their potential. Needless to say a few short weeks later my shoulder was completely recovered and I felt better than I had ever felt before.
I wanted to learn how the human body worked so I went to Simon Fraser University and received my undergraduate degree in Kinesiology. I then completed 4 years of study at Western States Chiropractic College in Portland. When I graduated I practiced for two years in Vancouver WA where I treated thousands of patients and gained a great deal of experience.
I have a passion for helping patients live an active lifestyle. I see people everyday who are unable to do the things they enjoy with their family and friends because of chronic pain and other common health problems. Whether its gardening, going for a walk or running a marathon, I want to help you regain your health using a drug-free natural approach to healthcare.
When I'm not in the clinic helping patients, I can usually be found on the local mountains downhill skiing, or running on the beautiful trails of the lower mainland.
To stay healthy I receive a weekly chiropractic maintenance adjustment, I weight train three times per week and I run twice a week. I eat a healthy balanced diet and take daily vitamin supplements. I only use prescription or over-the-counter medications as a last resort for my health problems. As a result I have not had a prescription or over-the-counter drug for over nine years. I feel that this has benefited my health greatly.
Enough about me! You should find out how chiropractic can help you with a natural, drug-free approach to healthcare. Give us a call so we can help you take the first step towards better health.
