About

Treating disease & symptoms is not health care, it's disease care. The nerve system controls all of your body functions. Looking after the balance of your spine and nerve system will help you to feel better and improve your overall health.

Story

Dr Derek Porter bridges the gap between symptoms and function to try to determine the cause of your problem. Raised in Victoria, a degree in Kinesiology from UVic and a Doctorate in Chiropractic from Toronto's Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, Dr Derek has practiced in Vancouver for 12 years at West Fourth Chiropractic.

As a three time Olympian and Gold medal rower, Dr Derek knows the value of a body performing at its potential. He brings his expertise from the world of sports and high performance for all to benefit.

"This is not about shaving 1/10 of a second off your personal best, this is about an optimally functioning you - immune function, organ function, cell function, nerve function. Congruent lifestyle choices combined with a well integrated nerve system leads to health" - Dr Derek

Dr Derek works with "people" not just athletes. With a diplomate in pediatrics through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), he works with the entire family. It is never to early or too late to get your spine checked.
