It was my first time to see a Chiropractor. I was suffering from " Spinal Stenosis" and very bad "Sciatica" for over a year. I also have Scoliosis. I had trouble walking or even just standing. The burning sensation in my legs was unbearable.
I did physio, cortisone shots, acupuncture, none of them worked. I did 14 sessions with DR. Akhavan over a period of 3months. He said in 3 to 4 months I should some changes for the better..After the 4th month I could feel some changes. I started to walk and hike again and after a couple of weeks of walking and hiking ,I am practically pain free. I am going to go on a maintenance schedule every six weeks for a while, to make sure the pain does not come back. I truly recommend Dr. Akhavan

Dr. Akhavan is the best chiropractor I've ever been to. His spinal decompression therapy is truly amazing. For over a year, I spent a lot of time in bed because standing up was painful. I used a walker to get around. A section of my lumbar spine felt 'squashed'. Dr. Akhavan diagnosed Spinal Stenosis and started me on spinal decompression therapy. After one treatment, I stood up straight without pain. I've had four out of six treatments and I now walk around the house and go to shops just like everyone else! After each treatment, I can walk further, unaided. It is difficult for me not to use superlatives to describe the effectiveness of decompression therapy and Dr Akhavan's skill, intelligence and kindness . This man has changed my life. Thank you.

One year ago, i am suffering a very big pain in my neck. Many days with ice, creams, pills, etc., visiting Kiros, acupuncture, massages, and the results were very limited. The last Saturday, i was with RMI and RX. He analyzed carefully that information, and with one session, i feel that my live return back to me. It is incredible. He is a great professional. Thank You very Mutch Dr. Ali.

After struggling with intense sciatica pain for a year & a half, I came across Dr. Akhavan and his spinal decompression treatment. He diagnosed me with a disc herniation, correctly and MRI confirmed, within minutes - this is after being incorrectly treated for a hamstring injury for 1.5 years. Within weeks of starting treatment, I started to see significant improvement and I am now fully recovered. The medical field was recommending surgery and I'm so grateful for Dr. Akhavan for healing me and avoiding a back surgery at 39 years old. He's professional, kind, knowledgeable, and most of all - effective!

If you have any aches or pains - this is the guy to see. This man is a true healer. I have been to see Dr. Ali Akhavan for a couple of different problems and he was able to take my pain away in a few visits. He seems to be able to diagnose what the problem is right away and treat it This really helped him explain what and where the problem is. Incredibly professional, caring, gentle and kind.

I was first introduced to Dr. Ali in December 2020. I was suffering from a pinched nerve, and he was able to alleviate the pressure, and resolve the issue within 4 visits. I recently completed a 5 visit shockwave therapy session with him to resolve an issue with my right elbow being locked up. I wasn't able to full extend it. With the completion of the SWT, I've got more range of motion.

I would highly recommend Dr. Ali; he's knowledgeable, kind, and his advocacy for his clients is obvious and appreciated.

Biography

A great believer in the innate intelligence of the human body, North Vancouver Chiropractor Dr. Ali Akhavan aims to bring balance and longevity to the body’s entire system through quality chiropractic care. Dr. Akhavan was drawn into the chiropractic field after he experienced its fast and effective benefits for himself: “I was playing soccer for the North Shore Metro league when I suffered a hip injury,” he explains. “The doctor was prescribing medication, but the pain was not responding, so I went to see a chiropractor. The response after just one treatment was impressive, so I got very excited about chiropractic care and I wanted to learn more.” Health and wellbeing have always been at the very heart of Dr. Akhavan’s passions. Having graduated with a Kinesiology degree from Simon Fraser University in 1990, he worked as a personal fitness trainer for three years before continuing his education and receiving a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Western States Chiropractic College, now the University of Western States, in Portland, Oregon. He has been in practice in North Vancouver since 1997.
