Frequently Asked Questions

Who does RAI Chiropractic help?

Family-focused chiropractic care is at the center of what we do here at RAI Chiropractic, but we help people from all ages and stages of life looking to pursue long-term functional wellness! This includes babies, children, adults, athletes, and those who are pregnant. If you’re located in Langley or the Lower Mainland and are ready to take a proactive approach to your health, we’re excited to help you get started.

What do you do at RAI Chiropractic?

Our chiropractic doctors provide general, prenatal, pediatric, and athletic chiropractic services using a functional approach centered around lasting results. At RAI Chiropractic, we use the Gonstead Technique. As a longstanding Langley chiropractic clinic, we value community and maintaining a positive environment where patients can seek pain relief, pain prevention, and natural healing for themselves, their family, or their family-to-be.

What is the “Gonstead Technique”?

There are more than 100 chiropractic techniques in the world today. The Gonstead Method is more than just a technique. It is a system of meticulous analysis and evaluation, combining all necessary information, followed by delivering a specific, “hands-on”, bio-mechanically correct chiropractic adjustment. A Gonstead adjustment is comfortable, effective and incredibly safe.

The focus of a Gonstead adjustment is to be as specific, precise and accurate as possible, addressing only the problem areas (areas of subluxation). Great care is taken to ensure a mechanically correct position and a precise thrust to provide the most accurate and comfortable adjustment possible.

How does RAI Chiropractic operate?

Chiropractic care uses hands-on, non-invasive techniques that can help restore your body’s foundational systems so you can heal naturally. Here at RAI Chiropractic, our doctors also help you maintain long-term balance and health by providing you with the right tools and knowledge. You’ll be given a folder containing your customized wellness program with all the information discussed during your appointments, and you’ll also receive our online RAI Chiropractic “Kick Start Your Health Workshop” via email to continue your education and care from the comfort of your own home!

What is CLA Scan Technology?

Our CLA scan technology is state of the art and helps us look deeper than the spine to tell us how well the nervous system is functioning and where any underlying issues may reside. These non-invasive scans do not put anything into the body and are completely safe for everyone, including infants and pregnant people.

When can I start chiropractic care?

As soon as we’re able! The team here at RAI Chiropractic is always thrilled when someone decides to pursue chiropractic care, and we’ll do our best to work with your schedule. That being said, our focus is on long-term wellness.

Words from Happy Clients

  • Rai Chiropractic is amazing! I had very bad lower back and nerve pain for months, and Dr. Rai was able to help relieve the pain very quickly and put me on the path to healing. The doctors were also very thorough in explaining what the issue was and how it would be resolved. The ladies at the front are also incredibly helpful and very friendly as well! So glad I was referred to Dr. Rai and would recommend this clinic to everyone!

    −Sonia

  • I am trying to remember how long I have been a patient of Rai Chiropractic and I believe it’s been over 5 years now. We have a running joke that Dr. Rai is an extended family member. The level of expertise and care is outstanding. We love the staff and feel connected to their team. Highly recommend!

    −Angela

  • I remember the first time I booked an appointment at Rai Chiropractic, I was in excruciating pain, I could barely walk, and this is not something I’d ever felt before and I wanted a solution, not a band-aid. I’d heard of Rai Chiropractic from my midwives when I had my son not too long before this pain started. Dr. Rai was patient with me in explaining the best process for solving the problem, and for that, I’m forever grateful. I have been going to Rai Chiropractic ever since.

    −Christina

  • I can’t say enough positive things about the team at Rai Chiropractic! I had been suffering from debilitating migraines multiple times a week for over a year. I had tried everything, including medication, physio and massage with zero improvements. Dr. Rai gave me a full assessment on my first visit, and for the first time, it felt like someone was actually listening to the problem and not just trying to band-aid fix it. By the second month, I was having less than one headache a week, and now, 9 months later, I have not had a migraine in 7 months.

    −Kaitlyn

  • Dr. Rai and his office have been a delight to work with. I put off chiropractic treatment for over two years, and it was the biggest mistake I made. In the short time I’ve seen Dr. Rai I’ve noticed a complete change in my day-to-day comfort levels and overall well-being. His scans truly uncovered items I’d been masking for a long time, and I’m thrilled to be on the road to recovery. I tell anyone I meet about the benefits and suggest they go visit for themselves!

    −Kristen

  • Best chiro place ever. I’d been to chiro before but it was always treated like a spa. This place gives you quantifiable tests to see your progress and takes X-rays. I always love coming here because everyone is so friendly.
