Dr. Anne Maylin-Lee provides skilled chiropractic care for a variety of conditions, including but not limited to:

General Musculoskeletal & Systemic Conditions

• Tendinitis / Tendinopathy (Various Regions): Management of various tendinopathies throughout the body, such as rotator cuff tendinitis, patellar tendinopathy, or Achilles tendinopathy, using a multifaceted approach.
• Fibromyalgia (Pain & Stiffness Management): As part of a multidisciplinary approach, chiropractic care can help manage the widespread musculoskeletal pain, stiffness, fatigue, and tender points associated with fibromyalgia.
• Chronic Pain Syndromes (with Biomechanical Factors): A holistic approach to managing chronic pain by looking at the whole body's mechanics and nervous system function.
• Myofascial Pain Syndrome / Trigger Points: A chronic pain disorder characterized by the development of sensitive points in muscles (trigger points) that can cause deep, aching pain locally or in seemingly unrelated parts of the body (referred pain).

Hip, Leg & Foot Conditions

• Achilles Tendinopathy: Management of Achilles tendon pain and dysfunction through targeted therapies to promote healing, improve tendon load tolerance, and address contributing factors.
• Piriformis Syndrome / Deep Gluteal Pain: Pain in the buttock region, which can sometimes radiate down the leg mimicking sciatica, often caused by spasm or tightness of the piriformis muscle irritating the nearby sciatic nerve.
• Knee Pain (Osteoarthritis, Patellofemoral Syndrome, Meniscal Issues - Conservative): Aching, sharp pain, or instability in the knee, commonly resulting from cartilage degeneration (osteoarthritis), issues with how the kneecap tracks (patellofemoral pain syndrome), or certain types of meniscal (cartilage) injuries suitable for conservative care.
• Plantar Fasciitis / Heel & Foot Pain: Relief from persistent heel pain and arch discomfort through a combination of manual therapies, exercises, and potentially orthotic advice.

Specific Populations & Injury Types

• Sports Injuries (Acute & Overuse): Comprehensive care for athletes of all levels, including accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and targeted rehabilitation to ensure a safe and timely return to sport and prevent re-injury.

At Lee Chiropractic Clinic, chiropractic care is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Dr. Maylin-Lee frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Patients often share how pinching feeling deep inside my shoulder affected their ability to attending your children's school events and performances comfortably. With Dr. Anne's help and a focus on experiencing significant relief from nagging lower back pain, many are now enjoying life with improved function and less discomfort.
• Experience the significant benefit of improved nerve function, leading to less tingling, numbness, or weakness if you're dealing with tennis elbow pain making gripping hard. Dr. Anne helps patients regain their ability to fully participate in activities like enjoying your brisk morning walks with the dog, no matter the weather through focused and gentle chiropractic treatments.
• Dr. Anne frequently helps people find solutions for the limitations imposed by constant mid-back tension behind my ribs. The common goal is feeling more comfortable and supported throughout pregnancy, enabling a confident return to valued life activities, for instance, sitting comfortably through an entire movie at the cinema without needing to shift, with greater comfort and ease.
• Imagine being able to simply relaxing on the couch without pain without inflammation in my tendons holding you back.

Is chiropractic care covered by Medical Services Plan (MSP) in BC?

In British Columbia, MSP provides partial coverage for a limited number of chiropractic visits, typically up to 10 visits per year, for eligible individuals such as those on Premium Assistance. Most patients will have a co-payment for each visit. It is advisable to verify your specific coverage with MSP and consult your private extended health insurance for additional benefits. In other provinces, coverage varies: Alberta's AHCIP offers limited coverage mainly for seniors and dependents; Ontario's OHIP generally does not cover private chiropractic services, and Quebec's RAMQ does not cover private clinic care but may cover hospital-based treatments in rare cases. Patients should always check their individual insurance plans and MSP eligibility to understand their coverage.

Do chiropractors only treat back pain?

It's a common misconception that chiropractors only deal with back problems. In reality, we treat a broad array of conditions affecting the body's structure and function. If you have pain or dysfunction in any joint or muscle, from your jaw to your toes, a chiropractor may be able to help.

What kind of clothing should I wear to my chiropractic appointment?

Comfortable, loose-fitting clothes are ideal for a chiropractic visit. Think of what you might wear for light exercise. This ensures you can move freely during assessments and that your chiropractor can access the areas requiring treatment without difficulty.

What should I expect during my first chiropractic appointment?

The first chiropractic session is primarily about assessment and understanding your needs. Your chiropractor will ask about your health background and perform various physical tests. The aim is to identify the cause of your problem so a tailored treatment plan can be created with you. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, and if indicated, treatment may begin on this first visit.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in BC?

Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in British Columbia, meaning you can book an appointment directly without a referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check your individual insurance policy for specific requirements.

Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?

Definitely. While adjustments are a core part of chiropractic care, most chiropractors also incorporate rehabilitative exercise and stretching into their treatment plans. These are designed to support the effects of your adjustments, correct muscle imbalances, and empower you to manage your condition effectively.
