Atlas Chiropractic & Body Balance: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Very serene and peaceful atmosphere, like a spa. The clinician is kind and explains what he's doing. First visit so not sure about long-term results yet...
Fantastic experience: Dr. Shook is great with my daughter. He worked on her wrist and she was back to hockey in no time!!!!
Fantastic experience: I really like this clinic and Dr.Travis Shook is professional and helped me with my shoulder pain. I definitely reccomend Atlas if you need Chiropractic adjustments
Negative experience: I don't know if the body work they provide is good or not, because the administration is so broken, I'll never know! Check out this chain of events over 72 hrs and how many points of failure there are: 1. I click a FB ad and book an appointment online for 2:00. 2. I get a voicemail saying 2:00 isn't available, would I like 1:40? I call back and confirm I'll take 1:40 (this was a weird conversation, incidentally). 3. Next day, I get an email saying I started the process but never booked an appointment. I reply that I did indeed, first at 2:00 and then for 1:40. 4. I get a response asking if 1:40 still works for me. I reply that obviously it does. 5. I get a response saying 1:40 is no longer available and can I call back to re-book yet again. 6. I reply 'No thanks, I won't re-book again'. I don't want to deal with such a gong show. I get a response confirming. 7. Next day I get a call at 1:45 to ask why I'm not at my appointment. Minimum FOUR points of failure in one booking attempt. Truly, truly ridiculous.
I'm sorry for the confusion with booking though the Facebook add.
The add has times that we set in our schedule to allow for a booking. 10am-11am, 2pm-3pm and 4pm. Sometimes the AI assistant gets confused which is why we do call everyone that wants to book though Facebook to confirm appointments and encourage patients to communicate via phone afterwards and not with the AI assistant.
It looks as though you did try to rebook though the AI assistant in a time slot that we don't allow it to book into. You were also sent a text message confirmation for your 1:40 appointment.
we are sorry for the inconvenience that this situation has caused you.
Positive experience: Treatment was ok & helpful but I felt it was too quick & short. Appointments pushed back to back in out quickly. Seems more about $$ then helping people
Fantastic experience: Travis is super kind, knowledgeable, very accommodating and helped me so much. I golf and had a rib injury that he quickly solved. Could not say better things about the whole experience at Atlas
Fantastic experience: positive 1st session for chiro treatment-it was caring, professional, and thorough approach to chiropractic care.
Fantastic experience: I have honestly struggled to find a good chiropractor. I've seen many other ones throughout the years and never felt better. But finding Dr Whyte and Dr shook have been a life saver. Dr shook gets my lower back pain. And Dr Whyte always gets my neck pain. I've never had this kind of relief ever. I have arthritis in my neck and lower back and have always struggled with it. But both Dr Whyte and Dr shook have helped me feel a sense of relief.
Amazing! Thanks for your review. Just another example of how chiropractic helps with neck and low back pain.
Fantastic experience: Dr Whyte is amazing. Wish I came in years ago. I Caan sleep and function without pain. Thanks again
Thanks Dave. Yes! Chiropractic is great for low back pain.
Fantastic experience: I had chiropractic Treatments , laser therapy and Shock treatments for my back pain .I had great results from it and will making more appointments for maintenance.. I had good results from the treatments. Service is very Professional. Thelma FRIESON
Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Dr. Whyte for a few years, and I've been consistently, and pleasantly, surprised by how intuitively he is able to work on the body to get things moving properly. However, my last visit was life changing. Over a year ago, I'd gotten a bad concussion at work, and as time went on, quite contrary to everyone insisting that time would help to clear the thick brain fog, it only seemed to be getting worse. When I say that I had forgotten my own name when trying to introduce myself, that is not an exaggeration. I was really afraid that this was going to become my new Normal. I had mentioned my concussion in my last visit, in hopes that he may be able to help with the migraines I'd been getting since. He set my neck back into place, but then grabbed a glove and asked me to open my mouth. Maybe all of one minute later, after he'd pressed assorted areas of the roof of my mouth, and I felt steady again. My mind felt bright, and as much as I was relieved, I was nervous that it wouldn't last. But it's been a week, and so far I still feel like my old self again. Albeit a little off, after being lost in my own mind for the past year and a half. I feel as though I'm getting used to a program that I've been away from. But my recall is back, my focus is there, my irritability has been draining away, and I am so beyond grateful to feel as though I've been given my life back again.
Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful first time experience with Dr Whyte. I am having back issues so Dr Whyte is fixing my back. Will definitely come back again
Thanks for your review. We’re glad your low back pain is improving. Please keep up with are recommendations.
Fantastic experience: I am totally blown away by how much better I feel after one treatment with Dr. Whyte! I went to see him after suffering a four day headache, which was accompanied by neck, shoulder, and upper back pain. I was assessed thoroughly, advised of what was happening in my body, and then received a few adjustments, each providing more and more relief. Today is the day after treatment and I truly am blown away by how much better I feel, even after being on my feet all day at work and then yard work. After another treatment or two, I bet I will feel like a different person, haha The clinic is beautiful and peaceful, the entire team were wonderful to deal with in person and on the phone. I would completely recommend Dr. Barry Whyte to anyone who needs chiropractic care, 1000%!
Thanks for your super positive review! I can feel your excitement. I’m gad we’re able to change your daily neck pain, shoulder pain and headaches.
Fantastic experience: Found out about Atlas via an advertisement on Facebook. I'm very happy I opened it. The shockwave treatment that was the initial promotion led to me then seeing Dr. Shook for some golf specific treatment. The shockwave has been so beneficial for me, as it really is a revealing tool if the individual has some areas of annoyance. Dr. Shook and Dr. Whyte are very nice gentleman. I had a pleasant and informative experiences with both. The Office, is also extremely clean and has a wonderful energy right when you walk in the door. Check the place out if you're requiring some back or body help. They know what's up here. Thx!!!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Shook is great at listening to your concerns and tailoring treatment to your needs and responses. I got some immediate results and some more gradual improvement for some chronic problems and appreciate both very much!
Fantastic experience: Dr Shook provided great treatments both for back adjustment and shock wave therapy on my shoulder. On time inviting and professional. Real results with each visit.
Fantastic experience: Love this clinic. The staff are very helpful and the atmosphere is very relaxing. Highly recommend!!!
Thanks for your review and referrals! We're are still excepting new patients.
Fantastic experience: I took advantage of their first trial special with the shock wave treatment for a chronically sore shoulder. With repeated regular treatments Dr Shook worked out some scar tissue from a previous injury and after some regular treatments my shoulder is way better! Thanks for saving me from so much pain!
Thanks for your review. Dr. Shook has exceptional good working with most rotator cuff injuries as you have experienced. We'll see you you in office soon for your follow-up treatments.
Fantastic experience: Great customer service with my last minute appointments and Travis is the only one that can get me the crack I need
Travis has exceptional skills and is always willing to help out with scheduling conflicts and last minute appointments. Was he able to help with your neck pain and lower back pain? Glad we could help.
Fantastic experience: Although I knew very little about shock wave therapy I decided to give it a try for my calcified rotator cuff tendon. After my treatment I experienced the first relief that I have felt in months. Will continue with more treatments hoping for increased improvement.
Thanks Leah. The focused shockwave has been amazing addition to our tool box. It's great for calcific tendonitis and rotator cuff issues as you experienced.
Fantastic experience: Fast to get into and fast treatment that actually works. Pain that I was suffering with for years was corrected in just a few sessions
Glad we could help with your back pain! We are now offering focused shockwave for back and neck pain.
Fantastic experience: I am so happy to have doctor Whyte. As my chiropractor. He knows exactly what I need , regarding my pain from scoliosis
Thanks for your wonderful review. We’re glad your scoliosis pain has responded with chiropractic adjustments.
Fantastic experience: I have had chronic neck, shoulder and back pain for years. The shock wave therapy has made a huge difference.
Thanks for your review. The shockwave therapy has been a great addition to our office. We're glad your chronic neck pain, shoulder pain and back pain is feeling better.
Fantastic experience: I began Shockwave Therapy with Dr. Shook a few weeks ago and I am thrilled with the remarkable progress of my recovery. Dr. Shook's expert guidance on sports movement played a crucial role in facilitating my healing and enabling my swift return to the field. After enduring six months of pain and limited mobility, I was able to engage in batting practice after just three treatments. Dr. Shook's supportive encouragement and practical movement tips yielded impressive results. I will highly recommend him to anyone struggling with pain. The office and staff maintain a calm and welcoming ambiance.
Great to hear about your quick recovery. Dr. Shook prides himself on going the extra bit to help his client's. Thanks for noticing and your review.
Fantastic experience: Dr Whyte has been helping me with my posture, flexibility and mobility for years. He has been very supportive and encouraging in times of injury and pain and has always modified his treatment to my specific concerns. His commitment to promoting health and enhancing mobility is excellent. His kind and gentle nature make the experience pleasant while easing tension and easing pain.
I is my pleasure to take care of such a great family such as yours. I’m glad your neck pain and lower back pain has been helped by chiropractic adjustments. Hope to see you soon.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Barry is awesome. His holistic approach from discovering the root cause of the issue, to addressing, and then treating it, is the best I’ve experienced. Birgit’s laser treatment is amazing as well. I highly recommend Atlas Chiropractic & Body Balance
Thank you Evan for your excellent review. You are correct,we have all the tools for healing. I’m glad your lower back pain right side is feeling better.
Fantastic experience: Dr Shook is awesome. I followed him when he switch from his old clinic to Atlas. And I'll follow him anywhere. He is experience and has a lot of knowledge. He is not one of those chiros that after a few visits just starts doing a repetitive adjustment in 2 minutes then your are out. He actually takes the time at every appointment to see what type of treatment is needed at that moment. I highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I appreciated receiving an adjustment during my first assessment. Dr. Shook is very personable, and the treatments are effective. I also didn’t have to sign a contract or commit to a treatment plan!
Thank you for your Review!!!
Fantastic experience: I have been to many chiropractors in nanaimo and Dr White has put in his time and he tries in earnest to get it right and in my case does a great job
Thank you for your Review!!!
Fantastic experience: My longtime chiropractor retired sometime ago and after researching Dr Barry Whyte was recommended by a friend. I’m really glad I made an appointment at Atlas Chiropractic. Last summer I fell backwards off a hiking path and rolled down a 25 ft ravine in Whistler sustaining extensive bruising and a head injury. Recently I was experiencing hip pain and decided I probably needed a realignment after the fall. I found the Clinic to be modern and inviting, and Dr Whyte and his staff friendly and welcoming. I am extremely impressed by Barry’s skill and expertise and after treatment to realigning my shoulders and hips I walked away pain free. During follow up visits he has treated me for vertigo and reversed damage to my ankles sustained 60 years before. I will be recommending Dr Whyte to all my friends and family.
Thank you for your Review!!! Glad to keep you moving and active.
Fantastic experience: Travis is a attentive, good listening chiropractor, I'd recommend him for all of his services. Laser has helped me especially.
Thank you for the review!
Fantastic experience: Beautiful office! Team is always friendly and welcoming, there to help with multiple treatment options to really make a difference!
Thank you for the review!
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and I'm so happy I was able to get an appointment within 3 hrs of calling. Every time I go in hurting I come out feeling great. Very professional and i recommend them to anyone I know that needs help. Thank you all.
Thank you for the review!
Fantastic experience: Having good success so far working on my elbow. Welcoming environment with very professional and knowledgeable staff and practitioners. Highly recommend!
Thank you for the review!
Fantastic experience: I've been dealing with multiple practitioners for 2.5 years regarding wrist and arm pain. The folks have Atlas certainly have the knowledge and expertise in treating this chronic problem. I am forever grateful. Thank you. :)
Thank you, Ben for your kind words. We look forward to continuing to help you in the future.
Fantastic experience: The team at Atlas are fantastic. I always walk in to a friendly atmosphere and I trust Dr. Shook with my medical condition and recovery. After my first appointment it was clear I was lucky to have found professionals that can handle my treatment and WCB claim. I can confidently recommend Atlas Chiropractic.
Dr. Shook does a great job finding out the cause. Glad we could help.
Fantastic experience: Dr. White has magic hands and I always feel like all of my aches and pains are well addressed by the time I leave! My only regret is when I wait to long to make and appointment and wonder why I do that to myself! Very professional and up to date equipment and knowledge. I highly recommend everyone.
Thanks for the praise. We enjoy having you as part of our practice. See you soon.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Barry has been very effective at increasing my mobility. I've had both hips replaced and a shoulder that's in bad shape. His treatments allow much more pain free movement. Thank you for your dedicated help.
Thanks for your review. See you on the pickleball court soon. Glad I could help.
Fantastic experience: Dr Shook is amazing. I could barely walk as the pain I was going through. His approach to me was absolutely the best. As an athlete himself he understands the issues we go through. He listens and then does his work. I am a totally painless athlete again. Thank you.
Thank you for your review!!
Positive experience: The staff were kind, outgoing, and clearly experts in their field. However, my appointment felt rushed, and the first interaction left an impersonal impression. Upon entering, the practitioner’s very first question was, “How did you hear about us?”—a comment that immediately shifted the focus to the business rather than me as a patient. As a professional in the medical and private practice field myself, this approach felt off-putting. A more patient-centered introduction, such as “I’m glad you made it in today” or “What brings you in?” would have been more welcoming. While I understand private clinics rely on referrals and advertising, prioritizing such inquiries as the initial point of contact felt awkward and impersonal, undermining the patient-practitioner connection. While I wouldn’t return for long-term care, I appreciated their expertise in orthotics. The response below, acknowledges my orthotics satisfaction but somewhat misses the mark on addressing the feedback about patient experience. I guess clarifying that my feedback was intended to highlight the importance of patient-centered care rather than establishing how to advertise the business was needed! It is evident that their advertising needs were super impersonal, despite what they write in their response...
Dear K J, I am so happy you like your Orthotics.
We stive to make our patients comfortable and welcome at our clinic.
As an established Clinic of over 15 years many of our new patients come from Referrals and it is a friendly conversation to ask "how did you hear about us"....as we like to thank those that have recommended us.
(we are not that high tech to use your answer for advertising)
Fantastic experience: Five star rating! The best chiropractor in town.
Thanks Fabulous for your review. Aways glad to help take away the pain.
Positive experience: Dr. Shook was great. He released all of my tight joints. I came out of my chiropractic treatment feeling loose and more mobile.
Thanks for sharing your experience…We look forward to seeing you again.
Fantastic experience: I have had treatment from both Dr Barry and Dr Travis. I always leave the office feeling corrected and better. Very professional and intuitive hands on sessions. The office environment is relaxing, clean, and very positive. I would hesitate to go elsewhere.
Thanks for making the trip to see us. See you soon.
Fantastic experience: Barry's the best, Jackie always takes the best care of us. Whole team makes sure you're at your best, thank you!
Thanks Jennifer…Jackie does an amazing job!
Fantastic experience: Dr White is a great chiropractor! I definitely recommend him.
Thanks for your review…Always glad to help.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service, they always try and get you in as soon as possible.
Thank you for your Review!!!
Fantastic experience: “I can’t recommend Dr. Barry Whyte enough! From the moment I stepped into his clinic, I knew I was in good hands. His professionalism, deep knowledge, and personalized care set him apart from other chiropractors. Dr. Whyte takes the time to listen carefully to your concerns and tailors his treatments to your specific needs, ensuring long-term relief and overall wellness. What I appreciate most is his holistic approach to health. Not only does he provide exceptional chiropractic adjustments, but he also offers valuable advice on lifestyle, posture, and exercises that support my recovery and prevent future issues. Every visit leaves me feeling better, and his warm, welcoming demeanor makes each session comfortable and stress-free. If you’re looking for a chiropractor who truly cares about your well-being and delivers outstanding results, Dr. Barry Whyte is the one to see. I’ve experienced a remarkable improvement in my mobility and quality of life thanks to his expert care. Highly recommended!”
Thanks for trusting us with your care.
Fantastic experience: I spent 2.5 months with a torn MCL and could barely walk. I tried everything possible to get better but nothing was working. I was referred to Barry Whyte and after 2 sessions I could not believe the difference. Doctor Whyte is extremely professional and very good at what he does, I call him my Miracle Worker. Kristie J
Thanks Kristie…We’re glad we could help!
Fantastic experience: Dr Shook is always attentive, thorough and respectful. Pain relief without the yard yanking and twisting of other practitioners.
Fantastic experience: Dr shook and Dr whyte are amazing!!!! Highly recommend either of these gentleman.
Fantastic experience: Have pain? Try the Laser Therapy. I have had chronic pain due to a pinched nerve since April. After just 2 sessions, my pain levels are low enough that I haven't had to take any pain medication and am so grateful. Birgit Whyte is just amazing
so happy to help!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Shook is amazing! I’ve gone to chiropractors for over 40 years and he is top tier. He easily adjusts me and I don’t hurt the next day which is an added bonus. Having tried a few other chiropractors in the area, I am so thankful to have finally found the best.
Thanks for your review! We agree Dr Shook is one of the best!
Fantastic experience: Dr Barry and his staff are exceptional: their kindness and professionalism and hospitality are exceptional!! ! Fantastic! Thank you.
Thanks for your review! Always fun to go to work surrounded by positive patients like yourself.
Positive experience: So far, I've had a wonderful experience with Dr. Shook! He has been very personable, and the office is very well kept and comfortable, though I do wish the chairs were a bit more cushy!
Thanks for review. We have another chair near the door or we could find you a roller chair if you ask.
Fantastic experience: Very patient with me and my back is now feeling much better. Dr. Shook
Thanks Renee...Chiropractic should be your first stop for back pain. We also use other therapies to reduce pain such as shockwave and laser therapy. It's all non invasive!
Fantastic experience: I love this place! I see both Barry and Birgit for treatments. I’m so thankful to them and the work they do. Great location, great space and welcoming staff!
Thanks Emma! We’re glad we could help with your pickle pain and trigger finger.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Whyte and Birgit helped me after I fell and injured my back and hip. I was in agony! Barry masterfully treated my areas of concern. Birgit's deep tissue laser therapy helped ease my symptoms. They are both knowledgeable, great listeners and care about their patients. The admin staff Jackie and Corie are sweethearts. I always feel taller, younger and in less pain when I leave their clinic. High recommend!
Thanks for your positive review! See you soon.
Fantastic experience: I had another chiropractor for years and I was happy with his work then I was having issues with my last four vertebrae on my lower spine. My chiropractor told me that with my age 58 that I should expect discomfort and no change to my spine. That moment I was thinking that I needed a new chiropractor, so I called a buddy that is a retired Millwright I asked him who are now he would recommend and he told me Atlas Chiropractor Dr.Barry Whyte. I have recommended his practice to at least a dozen friends and people I see struggling with daily life. Barry is amazing. Nanaimo is lucky to have Atlas Chiropractic in our city. Atlas Chiropractic has a new Chiropractor Dr.Travis Shook, he has brought knowledge and experience to a very busy office. Barry & Travis are now able to provide services Monday-Friday. Atlas is your key to a successful recovery ❤️ to greater health. I worked in the sawmill industry for 23 years, I also worked at shutdowns on vacation time at Pulpmill‘s for 35 years. Construction, Grand Prairie, Fort McMurray, etc. I have been on my feet wearing work boots. My feet have kept me upright. I have worn orthotics over the years and now for the last seven years I’ve been working for a school district and walking on concrete floors Monday through Friday. I had other orthotics from another establishment in Nanaimo that would not adjust my feet that he made at his home, if he had to adjust them he would adjust with a fee. He couldn’t get them to fit properly and they sit in my drawer not my shoes. I live in pain and still no orthotics. After my four years of not wearing orthotics because they were not working, I decided to start calling around and everybody was charging $500+ I called Atlas Chiropractic and spoke to the orthotics, technician they said $400. I said I would like to make an appointment. I Received my orthotics. I tried them on, after a month my feet adjusted and I couldn’t be happier. I started calling my coworkers and telling them where to get the best orthotics in Nanaimo. Thank you Atlas for changing my gait, I no longer live in pain.
Thanks for taking the extra time to leave us a review. See you next week.
Fantastic experience: This is the place to go if you need any kind of Chiropractic care. I was in lot of pain due to my lower back and leg. Dr.Shooke took care of it well, very knowledgeable and friendly. I have been to many Chiropractors in the past, this clinic is the best.
Fantastic experience: I have the best service ever! Dr. Barry White was phenomenal, and the receptionist very kind! And the best part is he knows how to fix my back and I have a difficult back! I highly recommend them!!!!!
Thanks Maria. I’m glad your lower back pain has improved. Keep working at it. See you soon.
Fantastic experience: I was down and out, convinced I had a dislocated rib, suffering through days of agony and shallow breathing. Desperate for relief, I called Atlas Chiropractic, hoping for a same-day appointment, and to my great relief, they got me in. After a thorough adjustment, I still felt a bit beat up but had hope that things would improve. By the evening, I was sore in a different way, feeling my ribs and connective tissues working things out. A dose of Advil, a good night's sleep, and the next day, I'm feeling great. The guy is pure magic! Grateful for the swift and effective service at Atlas Chiropractic.
Glad we could help! Chiropractic adjustments always beat Advil.
Fantastic experience: Have recently seen both Dr Whyte and Dr Shook and am equally pleased with both of them !! So nice to be able to walk straight upright again and not be in constant back pain !! Thankyou Atlas office staff too for your very pleasant ways !
Thanks for your review! We’re always here to help.
Fantastic experience: I am no stranger to chiropractors and new to the area. I had my first appointment a couple of days ago and Dr. Shook was super patient with me even though I was the last appointment of the day, he took time to listen and explain what he was doing and what was going on with my back and pelvis. I felt a hundred times better than I was anticipating!
Thank you for your review! Dr Shook is very hardworking and caring. We are glad we have him at Atlas…Please spread the word he still taking new patients.
Fantastic experience: I had heard many amazing reviews of Dr Whyte and chose him to return to my treatment after many years of ignoring my various areas of concern. The chronic ache in my left hip that I had normalized was gone after one visit and remains so. I no longer wake from twists and turns trying to relieve the ache from my waist down. My quality of life is greatly improved.
Fantastic experience: Dr Whyte helped me with a shoulder injury that others have worked on for months. I am a regular after my first visit!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Shook was very helpful with my rehab from surgery. I experienced immediate pain relief from some back pain I was experiencing and then consistent checking up and helpful assessment of my progression. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I've been through many chiropractors, and Barry White is by far the best. Took care of my whole body. He seems very knowledgeable, and he is assertive with his adjustments. Also he is very great to get along with. Worth every penny
Fantastic experience: I've had very mixed experiences with chiropractors in the past, and it was hesitantly that I gave Atlas Chiropractic a try when faced with persistent neck and back pain three years ago. I could not be happier that I gave Barry a chance. Barry does great work, and I would recommend him to anyone who has spinal issues, especially if they've had bad experiences with chiropractors in the past. Barry is a problem solver, and his goal when you walk into his treatment room is to fix any skeletal issues you bring in with you. I've never had a chiropractor who gets as involved in his adjustments as Barry does. Additionally his bedside manner is great and his enthusiasm is very contagious. If you've been skeptical about chiropractors in the past, or if you're looking for a chiropractor in Nanaimo, then Atlas Chiropractic is the place for you!
Fantastic experience: Barry is an amazing chiropractor. His front office is beautiful and the receptionist is so kind and friendly. Barry takes the time to listen to your concerns, explains what he is going to do, asks what you are feeling and where you need help. I trust his knowledge and skill when I see him work. Because of Barry I don't have to take pain medication every day anymore. Thank you
Fantastic experience: I am a fairly new patient of Atlas Chiropractic and I have found them to be wonderful. Very accommodating and Dr. Barry has multiple techniques to get to the issues. Jackie at the front counter is wonderful as well.
Fantastic experience: So glad Dr Whyte and Birgit were recommended. The treatments I have received so far for chiropractic and laser have made a big difference in my back pain. Professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Dr. Whyte is professional and has excellent bedside manners. He has worked with me through frozen shoulder and all the issues that come with it with a positive attitude.
Fantastic experience: The results of a couple treatments to relieve carpal tunnel symptoms provoked me to leave a review. Could not find much relief doing physio/stretches. First treatment walked out with more mobility, second treatment a week later walked out nearly perfect, this is going to heal without surgery. Hope this helps others. Barry is excellent.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Whyte is very professional and efficient. Front desk was very friendly. After only 2 sessions I feel so much better! Highly recommend his services.
Fantastic experience: Was recommended to see Barry Whyte and he has helped both my husband and myself. I will be telling my friends about him for sure
Fantastic experience: Always beneficial to return here. Barry is capable and canny in ‘fixing’ what ails. He is able to adjust the parts that others cannot. He brings a thorough knowledge and years of experience with him. I have seen many worldwide and this finely tuned center for body balancing is my go-to whenever I am in the neighborhood. Birgit provides other offerings for injury recovery (laser etc). Thanks again Barry and Birgit for a clean and expertly run center :)
Fantastic experience: Very thorough and efficient! The treatments I received improved my quality of life and got me back on track. I am thankful for how helpful my treatments have been.
Fantastic experience: First time to see Dr White, felt like he really listened to my concerns. He was very informative while he adjusted my whole body, head to toe, not just my complaint. .left feeling like a new woman! I will be back.
Fantastic experience: I am a professional dancer and figure skater ….now 57! I have been seeing / relying on Dr. Barry Whyte for many years to maintain my longevity …. I very much appreciate the practice that includes Birgit Whyte Rehab Specialist with a global modality sensibility - I have even met with B at the BergKristal wellness retreat in Germany - shorty before i have my two level Cervical disc implant surgery in Stenum Germany . I now have two Canadian trademarks towards a wellbeing/ wellness venture that I has been inspired by Atlas over the years
Positive experience: Dr. Whyte is a good doctor and his technique is painless. He listens well and understands when you explain something. Someone recommended him and I've been happy with my treatment so far. No neck cracking at all.
Fantastic experience: Best chiropractor I have ever had. Being a new resident of Nanaimo I was delighted to not only find a chiropractor. It was like winning the lottery. Dr. Barry White takes the time to listen to me & fixes me in very few appointments. Beyond Grateful to have found Atlas Chiropractic!
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Dr. Whyte as a chiropractor. I have used his services for years now. He is punctual, knowledgeable, listens to his patient’s concerns and I have never had an issue with any of his adjustments, only amazing benefits every time!
Fantastic experience: Atlas Chiropractic and Body Balance are knowledgeable, skilled professionals. They are committed to getting you results. The office is prompt and welcoming!
Fantastic experience: Very informative with my treatment. They always have space when I need a last minute adjustment, and I've never left disappointed. Fully recommended Dr. Whyte!
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Dr. Whyte for chiropractic care since shortly after he starting practicing in Nanaimo many years ago. Not only does he provide excellent care; he continues to study and learn new techniques to enhance his patient care. I was lucky to find my chiropractor for life in Dr. Whyte!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been getting Chiro for about 15 years, I’ve had quite a few practitioners work on me and most were great. Dr Whyte’s next level. I’ve never had a more thorough and effective chiropractor, he’s the bees knees y’all.
Fantastic experience: Got my life back! Dr. Whyte is highly knowledgeable and gets straight to the issue. Between getting adjustments with him and a combination of both Shock Wave and Laser therapy my shoulder pain is all but gone. I can sleep again. Thank you Barry and Birgit!
Fantastic experience: Fast, effective, educated, professional, kind, strong, upbeat, extremely beneficial. Great team, great location, great service, great support, great help! Thank you to the whole Atlas team.
Fantastic experience: I had never been to a chiropractor yet after living with massive neck pain and a amazing referral I overcame my fear of the neck snap. Thank God for Barry! He made me feel very safe and fixed me almost 100% the first session. I actually cried to be pain free for the first time in two years. THANK YOU. I have gone back for other adjustmens with the same results ever time. The man knows his bones!
Fantastic experience: Been seeing Barry for a few years, started as preventative then had increased visits after 2 accidents. Always able to be fitted in, always feeling way better after my appointment(s). Never had a bad experience here. No doubts about recommending people come to Barry for chiro. 5+ stars!
Fantastic experience: It was only at the repeated urging of my then personal trainer 6 years ago that I finally agreed to go see Barry (Dr. Whyte). I'd had nothing but unpleasant experiences with chiropractic appointments before and had never noticed much improvement after those appointments either. But wow! What a difference! I have nothing but great things to say about the experience and therapeutic effects of my treatments with Barry. He's made me a believer and I highly recommend his services.
Fantastic experience: I was having problem with a semi lock shoulder where it felt as though I was tearing my deltoid and bicep every time I reached out in front of me and two treatments with Doctor Barry Whyte and I no longer feel the tearing I attend further treatments just to maintain healthy movement. Thank you Dr. Whyte for you kind and gentle approach. No pain is experienced during the adjustment. Also thank you to Jackie who helps make the appointment each and every time Gail
Fantastic experience: Dr. White is by far the best chiropractor I have seen. I have had back problems for 15 years and have severe trust issues with Chiropractors due to a very negative previous experience. Dr. White was able to put me at ease with his fact based approach and by talking things through with me. I would highly recommend Dr. White to anyone needing chiropractic care, don't roll the dice... Go with a sure thing Update Jan/21 Wishing I could change my rating to 6 out of five stars. Dr. White has helped me avoid surgery so far. About every 3 to 6 months my back blows out again to the point I can barely walk and Dr. White is able to quickly fins to problem areas and apply the appropriate chiropractic maneuvers to get me moving again.
Thanks for trusting us with your low back issue. I'm hoping we can fix it soon.
Fantastic experience: My first time coming. The day I came December 29th. He explained everything to me. I have never had anyone explain the body to me before and when I say this meaning what is connectedto each other . I have gone to chiropractor in killaloe but nothing compared to here. I was in such pain. My whole r ight side of my back. I was pretty much broken lol I'm back today Dec 31st and feel great. I recommend you to here . Clean place , relaxing, and they want to see you well and healthy.
Fantastic experience: I am new to Vancouver Island and suddenly found myself in excruciating pain from a fall that triggered a chronic problem. Dr Whytes office was able to squeeze me in for emergency appointment and I was assessed and treated by Barrie Whyte. He was professional and funny and got the job done ! I am feeling much better now and will continue to use this office when in need.
Fantastic experience: In 2017 I sprained my ankle, and never really gave it the treatment it deserved. It's left me feeling unstable for years now. I recently went to see Dr. Whyte, who took me in on his lunch break, as a desperate new client, out-of-whack form sleeping on a bad mattress and various other things... Not only did he fix up my body in general, he adjusted my foot/heel/ankle alignment and that sprained ankle feels brand new. Two weeks later and still no re-surfacing of the issue, either. He's great. His receptionist is lovely, and I definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Whyte never appears rushed and I have never had to wait long to go in. He is very thorough and gentle and my back has been steadily improving since I started seeing him for treatment.The office is clean and modern and there is lots of parking available. I would not hesitate to recommend him.
Fantastic experience: In town visiting, and was delighted to find Atlas Chiropractic. They are very caring, thorough, professional, and friendly. Dr. Barry White seems to have a different, very holistic approach than most chiropractors, and his passion, extensive education and experience is evident in his treatment. He also has as a great sense of humour, and helps people feel at ease. They have hand sanitizer to use before entering, COVID protocols are observed. 5 stars all the way!
Fantastic experience: I had some back pain. I have visited a few Doctors. My friend recommended Dr. Barry. Eventually my issue has been fixed here. My families have visited Dr. Barry regularly whenever we had any body balance issues. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Excellent Chiro, great laser treatments, professional office, wonderful bedside manner. Would recommend. This review is now 4 years old... I wanted to update it to reflect that I have continued to use Atlas over the years and have always gotten the same great service. Barry and Birgit have got more machines and services over the years and I have found the Shockwave Therapy to be really helpful.
