Update August 2025 – After several years of regular treatments with Dr. Trester, I remain completely free of the pain and aches that first brought me to his care. I can’t imagine life without these sessions—they’ve become essential to my spine health and overall well-being. Shalene’s friendly welcome and Dr. Trester’s skill, knowledge, and genuine care have given me the tools to live pain-free. I’m deeply grateful for the difference they’ve made in my life. Thank you again for your care!Previous post 5 yrs ago - I was a vendor at the Zoomer conference in Vancouver last spring when a colleague came to me and told me about this booth for Wellness Chiro. I have always been skeptical about "bone crackers" but out of curiosity went to check it out. I had for some time been having lower back pain and was having trouble sleeping due to tossing back and forth, so, I booked in for appointment. I went to my initial consultation with Dr. Trester, he did a thorough exam with x-rays. Then I had to go back for results, I thought ok, this is where I get told how much it'll cost. I went back the next day. Dr. Trester reviewed what he found and without telling him a whole lot, he hit the nail on the head. I was advised of his recommendation and cost which seemed I thought, very affordable. I've heard from many friends they pay same or more. I started with my first adjustment that day, May 2. Oh and by the way, Dr. Trester doesn't do the so called "bone crack" method for which I was very happy about. That very first trigger, shot to my feet, which was sort of neat. I however was still pretty skeptical. He told me to walk for a bit before driving home and drink lots of water which I do anyway. I did a block walk and got in the car and off I went. As I am a sales rep, I drive a lot, till feeling a bit of ache I drove home. Went to bed that night and got up the next morning I got out of bed and realized I didn't have any soreness, aches??? Was very strange I thought, then thought well I will wait for it... I have to say, I have never had that pain or ache again! I continued my 6 weeks and had a review of how all was going and was getting so much better, I thought well, have to continue. I have more energy and sleep really well. I still go on a monthly basis just because I feel so GREAT!! My walking friend also noticed that when we walk now, she noted that I no longer complain about my feet. I used to get burning pain which I would have to kick off a shoe to stop the pain! I hadn't even noticed but she was right, I no longer do that! Bye bye to all those bad SUBLUXATIONS and thank you Dr. Trester and Shalene for your great care and flexibility with my crazy schedule!See you in a couple weeks:-)Kelly
