2022 Trestermonials - Vancouver Chiropractors

Since my early 20s, I’ve always had occasional headaches as well as neck and shoulder pain but never thought much about it. After giving birth to my second child, I started noticing low back pain like I’ve never experienced before. I asked my OB-GYN for recommendations and he pointed me towards Dr. Trester. I actually waited almost a year postpartum to make an appointment because I was hoping it would go away on its own but the low back pain was starting to hinder my daily activities such as picking up my two children and bending down to clean up toys.

My overall experience at the West 1st Chiropractic Wellness Centre has been a positive one. I was always greeted with a very warm welcome by both Shalene and Dr. Trester. They have consistently been sincere and kind in their interactions and have been very accommodating to our ever-changing schedules with two young ones.

Chiropractic care has helped to enhance my well-being now that I’m having significantly less lower back pain. It makes such a difference to freely play with and pick up my kids at any given time. Dr. Trester has always been very thorough in his explanations of treatments and how the spine works. The before and after X-rays have also been a great visual component to the overall care. I highly recommend West 1st Chiropractic Wellness Centre to those who are seeking a gentle yet effective way to safely adjust and take care of their spine.

I originally booked a consultation/evaluation with Dr. Trester with my primary concern being arthritis. I have been to physio/chiropractic and massage for this specific condition. I’m a regular chiropractic believer. I have been doing chiropractic care for over 20 years. I’ve loved my experience at West 1st Chiropractic they are so friendly and nice. Since receiving regular chiropractic care at once a week my mobility has increased and I’m experiencing much less pain. I am pain free and I have more energy to live a more active lifestyle. I tell my closest friends and family about chiropractic.

I have been seeing Dr. Trester for over a year for some serious neck issues. Not only are there major improvements, but he is the kind of person to go above and beyond to support you in your journey. I could not be more thankful to have randomly found his clinic on Instagram. If you care about your health and want to take good care of yourself, as the spine is one major component in having a healthy body, he is your guy!!

As you walk in you are always welcomed with a warm greeting from Shalene and a pleasant atmosphere before your session. After you are showed to your room and spent a couple minutes relaxing, you are met with another warm welcome from Dr. Trester before you begin.

Now if you are apprehensive about chiropractor work, whether it be for the lack of enthusiasm to be cracked or you don't think you need it, fear not. Dr. Trester takes a more comprehensive approach to the body and sees the nervous system as the root of your subluxation (vertebra out of place). Meaning you don't need to be cracked or contorted to get the desired result. This method not only improves your spinal alignment, but also your overall wellbeing and mental state. Because it works at the root of the cause and not just the spine itself, the nervous system, you are better set to meet the challenges of your day to day. By having your body be in a more relaxed state, when tension both physical or mental, appear your body can handle them and go back to being relaxed after words instead of staying tense.

I personal go once a week now after going through my first set of sessions, use to go twice, and could not think of missing a week. For when I have, I have felt the difference. Whatever the stage of life you are in I would highly recommend you to at least stop in and have a chat with them. They would be more than happy to explain to you in better detail then I can on the technical know-how of what Dr. Trester does. I have been more drone the holistic side of preventive care of late, rather than waiting for something to go wrong then address it, and they provide me with excellent care and attention. 5-star worthy for sure.

My experience has been transformative to say the least. Randall has an erudite and practically-minded approach to chiropractic technique. I approached West 1st Chiropractic Wellness initially to correct a series of imbalances/subluxations that had a negative effect on my emotional and cognitive states - I’ve been seeing him for the better part of a year to the date of this review.

Randall and Shalene have carefully crafted a diligent chiropractic practice - of the many things I appreciate about their approach to chiropractic, and their business as a whole, is their complete commitment to the client. They make it very, very hard for you to fall off track, and for good reason! They don’t want the time and effort that you’ve invested to be futile. They helped inform me that holistic wellness is more than just visits to be adjusted, it’s the lifestyle choices you make and your overall outlook that they help you refine. Outside of our adjustments, Randall has also been very helpful at identifying and promoting the positive external environmental and behavioral factors that have assisted me in improving my life.

This is a professional chiropractic practice and proud small business, which I am happy to support as it has supported me :) Thank you Randall and Shalene!

I've been coming here for nearly a year now. Before I did, I was having a LOT of issues with old injuries, chronic pain, depression, etc. It hurt to walk for 10 minutes and most days I hardly moved because of the pain and discomfort. I'd previously been to other chiropractors, physio, etc and felt gaslighted at their Band-Aid approach. Having x-ray proof that my spine was in trouble made me hopeful for the future back then and now the huge difference in new x-rays, plus the fact that I'm not only feeling better physically and mentally, but I'm also on my way to looking better too! I definitely recommend you come here and see for yourself. Lovely people and great results so far.

When I first came here I couldn’t sit for too long or stand for too long without feeling pain in my lower back. Once assessed and X-rayed I knew this is the chiropractor I wanted to see. Dr.Trester is very thorough and helped me a lot with my chronic back pains and alignment issues. And it’s very great to get evaluated along the way and see how much of a difference you’ve accomplished. The layout of the whole office is very efficient and friendly. If you’re looking for a chiropractor that’s very thorough and shows you your progress this is the place. I couldn’t be more happier with my choice to go here.
