Fantastic experience: I’ve been to many many chiropractors all across western Canada, Erik has given me the best treatment I’ve ever had in my 30 yrs of treatments. If you want guys who want to upsell you with gimmicks and fancy gadgetry then go somewhere else. If you’re looking for a quality treatment then check him out. So much knowledge and understanding of his profession. Highly recommend Erik.

Fantastic experience: While vacationing in Fernie, I somehow put my back out and was in so much pain that I could hardly walk. Dr. Erik saw me right away and readjusted me lower back so I could enjoy the rest of my vacation. I was very impressed at how he knew exactly how to fix my problem. I wish I lived closer to Fernie so I could keep him as my regular chiropractor!! 5-star all the way⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: Je suis de la ville de Québec et j’étais à Fernie pour un voyage de ski avec famille et amis. J’ai eu une douleur lombaire (disque l4-l5, l5-s1 et t12) à ma 2ieme journée de ski. Je consulte un chiro à Quebec régulièrement due à ma condition. J’étais donc mal en point et stressé de barrer du dos et ne plus pouvoir skier et retourner à Québec dans la douleur. J’ai consulté Dr. Erik que j’ai trouvé sur Google. Erik m’a remit sur pied en 1 seul traitement, je me suis senti mieux instantanément en me relevant de la table. J’ai pu skier dès le lendemain et les douleurs étaient partie, il me restait seulement un peu de raideur musculaire, ce qui est normal considérant ma condition. Si vous avez des douleurs à Fernie, n’hésitez pas à le consulter, fermez les yeux et couchez vous sur sa table. MERCI

Fantastic experience: Thanks so very much Dr. Erik for yesterday - you are a very skilled adjustor and healer. I have so many acronyms and sayings to remind myself consciously to be healthy - yours has resonated with me like a great ski suggestion someone gives you that forever changes your skiing for the better. Inflammation - understanding what causes it - lessen it to better health. Thank you! May see you again before we go home. Therese

Dr. Josh Wagner Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I know many chiropractors, and I fully endorse the care Dr. Thorlakson provides. Don't hesitate if you've got a health concern like headaches, back or neck issues. Better to have it looked at sooner than later. Most people don't know, but children benefit greatly in their growth and development from chiropractic care, and Dr. Thorlakson sees A LOT of children in his practice. It also helps with ear infections, immune system, and focus. You won't regret getting a check up at Pure Life Family Chiro.

Genevieve Bee Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Dr. Erik is so passionate about what he does and has such a wealth of knowledge, his enthusiasm is infectious! After having adjustments and a spine scan at Pure Life I felt a newfound freedom in my body. The adjustments are almost addictive! For someone who doesn't have any specific injuries or issues, I truly did benefit from what I would call a 'tune up'. I feel as though I want to tell everyone to go and see Erik, there are benefits that you really shouldn't miss out on!

Greg Barnes Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I went to school with Dr. Thorlakson and found him to be a very involved, studious and passionate chiropractor. He has a passion to help families live a natural, holistic and drug free lifestyle and it is rare to find a doctor who does that these days. You can count on Dr. Thorlakson to exceed your expectations and know that he will deliver the most efficient form of health care that anyone can benefit from. He studied various techniques that not only allows him to help people get out of pain and back to their daily activities, but more importantly help them prevent problems in the first place. He also studied specific coursework taught by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association to help children with various health challenges in today's society. He is also a tremendous family man, so you know you will be getting cared for by a physician with a balanced lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: Doc Erik practiced with us in Calgary before moving to God's country and he is sorely missed! Now we do our best to route through Fernie anytime we're out in BC so that we can stop by and get powered up. Pure Life Family Chiropractic is Fernie's hub for health and wellness. Whether you're sick, sore or just looking for better general health, go see Dr. Erik BEFORE you try the pharmacy!
