Arthritis and Osteoarthritis can occur at any age. Systemic arthritis appears in patients with compromised immune systems and attacks the membrane that covers the cartilage of the joints, resulting in loss of protective fluid. Osteoarthritis is the most common form and is caused by wear and tear on the cartilage.
Intercostal pain (nerve pain around the ribs) occurs when the nerves that run along the side of the ribs become inflamed. The pain appears abruptly and can worsen with movement, incorrect posture, breathing, coughing, or even just walking. Although pain medication may help you cope, this nerve pain is generally due to problems that cannot be treated with medication.
Low back pain is frequently caused by slack abdominal muscles, when one or more of the bones in your spine moves out of position, poor posture, pregnancy, bone or joint disease, cancer, arthritis, stress or specific working conditions. Dr. Elder will treat low back pain by relieving your muscle spasms and improving the nerve supply and blood circulation to the affected area.
Migraines and headaches have different causes including dilation of the blood vessels, muscle spasms in the scalp, irritation or inflammation of the membranes that cover the brain, irritation or tension of the sensory nerves, or increased pressure in the fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord.

Dr. James Elder is a great chiropractor who really cares about his patients. I have been going there for more than a year and initially, he helped me with acute back pain and now he helps maintains my health so the issue doesn't happen again. (I'm a work-at-home person and my back is an issue because I'm bad about posture while working.)
He's also incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. If you haven't seen a chiropractor before and are nervous, he's a good person to try.
I also love the way this office is open early in the morning so I can get my adjustment before my day starts. Oh, and he doesn

Dr. Elder went above and beyond to help relieve me of pain in my neck from a compressed nerve. I had 4 days to feel good enough to fly to an important business pitch, and I couldn't even move. Not only did he see me right away (as a walk-in whom he had never met before) but he came in on the weekend just to be sure I had a chance... and he helped me get to a point where I could function well enough to do a great job. He also spent time to learn my background and help me with posture tricks.
I am a person who likes a lot of rationale, and he always educates me on what he is doing. I couldn't be

Dr Elder is a great chiropractor. Straight up chiropractic care. He is very skilled in his care. I was looking for a chiropractor that 1) was available for new patients, 2) where appointments could be booked easily, and 3) who was great at adjustments. Anyone looking for great, easily accessible care has found the right care here. Vicky the admin staff is a gem!!

I had come over to Victoria from Surrey for work. My regular chiropractor had been off on medical leave and suffice to say, not having had an adjustment for my neck for several weeks I was in pretty bad shape. The pain had become so severe that I was taking heavy duty pain meds just to make it through the day. Dr. Elder fit me in, did an adjustment and pretty much immediately like magic I was feeling significantly better. Such a relief and such a nice chiropractor. He listened to my concerns, and gave me positive results. Had me in for a follow up appointment and again, like magic got further relief

I was very happy to find Dr. Elder when I did. I was having a lot of upper back pain, and had never been to a chiropractor before. Not only did Dr. Elder do a great job of adjusting my back and neck, but he took the time for educational pieces like how to improve my sitting and standing. Each room appears to be clean as well. He is friendly and efficient, as are the receptionists at the front.

I could not walk, I was in continuous pain. Sciatica was my problem. I started treatment with Dr. Elder twice a week, then once a week and as my situation improved it became twice a month. I was able to move with less pain. I could take walks up to one hour. Maintenance treatments of once a month keep me going. I exercice, walk every day and even found part-time employment. My life is 99% normal. I enjoy life again.
Thank you Dr Elder!

I have been seeing Dr. Elder for over a year now. I had terrible back pain, and lumps on my lower back. After a series of treatments, the pain and lumps are gone. I have chronic neck pain as well, and regular adjustments keep that in check. Dr. Elder's adjustments are less aggressive then some chiropractors I have been to, but still get the job done. They do reminders and follow ups which is helpful. The hours are great for early morning appointments and street parking isn't usually an issue.

I want to personally thank Dr. Elder for making such a difference in my life with his exceptional care and treatment. I had been experiencing debilitating hip pain earlier this year for which I sought out Dr.James Elder. He started an effective treatment and now I'm pain free with only maintenance visits. I want to add that you never need to wait in his waiting room. When you come into the office you are seen immediately or within a few minutes that's remarkable in this day and age!!!

I have been very impressed with the treatment I have received from Dr. Elder and his staff. I was looking for a chiropractor who knew and used "low force" techniques. I phoned his office, talked to one of his staff members and Dr. Elder phoned me personally. I always feel that he is paying specific attention to my care.
My back, neck and shoulder issues have greatly improved. I feel fortunate to have Dr. Elder on my "health care team".

Dr. Elder is so friendly and warm! He is extremely attentive and personable, listens well and gives exercises to work on after treatment which I find very helpful. My back has never felt so great! I would highly recommend him to anyone. His staff are also incredible and always on the ball with appointment reminders and insurance information.
