Services
During your first visit, we conduct an extensive health history to get to know you better, to get a picture of your past and current health status, and to gather specific information regarding your current complaint. We then perform a thorough physical examination focusing on your area of complaint, as well as any other associated areas, and provide you with a specific diagnosis.
Chiropractic is a non-invasive, hands-on health care discipline that focuses on the neuromusculoskeletal system. Chiropractors practice a manual approach, providing diagnosis, treatment and preventative care for disorders related to the spine, nervous system, muscles and joints of the body. After a thorough history and physical examination, a unique treatment plan is developed for each individual.
Registered Massage Therapy is a non-invasive hands-on approach to health care. RMT's provide therapeutic treatment focused on decreasing musculoskeletal dysfunction and improving overall body function and postural alignment.

Chiropractic care is an integral part in the prenatal and postpartum stages of pregnancy. Low back, pelvic and hip pain during pregnancy can be due to stress put on your musculoskeletal system by mechanical, hormonal and circulatory changes. Mechanical changes occur as woman experience a shift in their centre of gravity leading to changes in posture.

Symptoms you may see in an infant include restricted movement, troubles latching, and improper motor patterns. In older children these symptoms may include postural strains, sport injuries, headaches and neck & back pain.

I’ve been going to a chiropractor for years and when I moved to Vernon I was hoping to find a good one here.
Dr Laura is the best! She was so welcoming and kind. I felt like I had been seeing her for years. She knows what she’s doing and made me feel completely taken care of.
Highly recommend

I have been to Blue Bird several times and been so impressed with my experiences. Rather than doing simple adjustments as a “one-size-fits-all” solution, Dr. Steve takes the time to really identify the issue to make his patients feel better. He treats each patient as best as possible for unique circumstances. Go here!

Dr Steve is wonderful! He gave a very thorough initial evaluation, and used multiple techniques for treatment. Plus he’s just a really friendly, easy to talk to guy, which is so important when seeking treatment.

Super impressed with Dr Laura's work with Vaughn... her ability to treat him and connect with him is amazing - Vaughn absolutely loves her and only has eyes for her when she's around! On top of that - the treatments are working - DOUBLE BONUS!

Dr Laura has helped me several times when I inadvertently injured myself. She is able to schedule me in a timely manner, and her treatments are gentle and very effective. The relief is immediate. Bringing alignment back into the body brings a miraculous recovery! Thank you again. #gratitude

Thanks Dr. Laura for all of your amazing work with both Kristin and myself! Kristin just adores you and we were thankful that you had her all mended for her big event in Big White last winter! And for Myself thanks for being cool, calm and collective when I thought the world had ended when I twisted my ankle. The best part was that I went in limping and came out after seeing you walking! Thanks so Much!

Dr. Laura and Dr. Steve at Bluebird Sport & Spine in Vernon are amazing. I had a shoulder injury that was interfering with my work and Dr. Laura explained what was going on, gave me exercises and got me back to work and feeling great within the week!

I've had nothing but positive experiences at this clinic with both Dr. Steve and Dr. Laura. The clinic is child friendly which makes getting appointments much more attainable for a busy mom. I've never felt rushed through an appointment and always leave feeling much better; the care is incredible and I also enjoy all the various techniques that can be used for various ailments both during my pregnancy and now as a busy working mom!
I would highly recommend this clinic for the whole family!

Bluebird Sport and Spine is the Best! After dealing with low back pain for a couple of months Dr Steve sent me some exercises to start on until I was able to get in to see him as I live in Kamloops. When I did see him he figured out the issue and I have been on the road to recovery!! Thanks Dr Steve I might get that 100 mile race in this year after all!!
