Dr. Sergio Pasqua was born and raised in Metro Vancouver. Growing up, his main interest was sports, more specifically, soccer, baseball, hockey and golf. It was an injury during a soccer match that led him to pursue a career in chiropractic care. He completed his 4 year Bachelor of Physical Education and Coaching in B.C. before heading to Ontario to spend another 4 years becoming a chiropractor at Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College.
Today, he is dedicated to improving physical health through evidence-based, patient-centered care. Sergio's approach to physical health is unique in that it combines techniques from across the manual therapy world with corrective exercise and postural education to create an individualized physical health program.

Hybrid Chiropractic is a combination of manual therapy techniques used together to provide the best possible opportunity for your body to respond, adapt and repair any musculoskeletal dysfunction. A good way of describing what you can expect and how we are different from a chiropractic appointment you may have had in the past is illustrated below in the form of a sample appointment for the common complaint of lower back pain.
Often, chiropractic patients only make appointments when they are in pain. This approach may be adequate for many, but it is not my recommendation. I refer to these patients as "pain based" patients. At times, pain based patients may require several treatments in relatively small windows of time to get back to their pain free state.
Chiropractic is a hands-on therapy aimed at treating the root cause of musculoskeletal problems, not just the symptoms. Traditionally, chiropractors embrace the body's innate ability to heal itself and mainly use manipulation of joints and other connective tissues to influence the nervous system into a healing state more quickly.
Massage therapy uses manipulation of the body's soft tissues to help relieve everyday stress and pain. It can help improve range of motion and muscle function by increasing circulation and reducing exercise or stress-related discomfort. Various techniques are used in massage therapy to achieve optimal results.
A custom orthotic is a device designed to align the foot and ankle into its most anatomically efficient position. Orthotics are similar to insoles, but with specialized biomechanical abilities that are custom made to try and correct specific foot imbalances. You can think of custom orthotics like eye glasses - they reduce stress and strain by bringing feet back into proper alignment.

I had never been to a chiropractor before and Sergio was very happy to educate me in a way that I could understand. He was very professional and the moment I walked in and other patiences were coming and going all told me how amazing he is. Made me feel comfortable right away.
I walked away feeling so refreshed and able to move in ways I could prior to the appointment.
I would highly recommend him!

Hybrid Chiropractic in Port Alberni is world-class. I came here with a shoulder injury with constant pain from weight lifting that's been with me for years. Dr. Sergio helped me and within a day the pain stopped, which was such a relief! He didn't waste any time and gave me exactly what I needed, specific training, workout plans, and modified routines to help me recover and get my active life back. I highly recommend!

I had never been to a chiropractor before but have now gone to Sergio for 3 separate minor injuries and he healed me so quickly each and every time! Most recently I had tweaked my back and was getting to the point where I could barely stand up straight or walk, one 15min visit with him and literally 2 days later was like nothing had ever happened. I was amazed! Highly recommend!

I just wanted to say. That after calling countless chiropractors in port alberni. No one would accept me because I had a very serious MVA Accident on Redford back in June. I was rear ended and left with chronic back injuries and pain. Calling Doctor Sergio was the best decision I ever made. He was very compassionate and very understanding. Accepted my icbc claim with no issues. Booked me an appointment right away and was very gentle on my back. His advice on wellness health and guidance on excercising using different techniques is amazing. I highly recommend Dr Sergio for all your back related

I am not one for seeing any practitioner let alone a Chiro. I saw Sergio yesterday and he made it a very comfortable environment and visit. He was very thorough to find out my "problems". He then discussed exactly what he was doing during the whole process. Last night I had one of the best sleeps I have had in months. Back good, hips good, shoulder good!!! Can't wait for my next appointment in a couple days!!!

My appointments with Dr. Sergio Pasqua were always great. He has treated me for numerous years. He has done an amazing job helping me with my injuries and ailments. Being an active soccer player he has helped me through a lot of injuries, while never making me feel rushed. He wouldn't just adjust me then show me the door. He made sure work on muscle release and show me stretches to get me back on the field. Port Alberni is lucky to have him. I would recommend him to everyone, young or old/ active or non active.

I was seeing Sergio for quite a long time, prior to him i was seeing another chiropractor who i felt didn't give me the best treatment. a good friend recommended me see Sergio and wow what a difference, he took time and cared about my needs, explained what is going on and his work really helped. i would highly recommend seeing him for all your chiropractic needs!

I saw Dr Sergio Pasqua regularly while he was practicing in Trail, BC. He was always on time, considering how busy he was! His adjustments were personalized to the issues I was facing, it definitely did not feel like I was pushed in and out of his office. He is greatly missed. I'd book again with him in a heartbeat.
