Taking my elderly parents to see him soon!!Tracy Kingston03:14 03 Dec 22I've been a patient for several years. Dr. Fryer is so caring, and listens to what I need and personalizes my treatment. I will only trust him to treat my back and neck..Dr. Fryer, you are amazing..with always a touch of humour..best medicine!Christina Jones04:47 10 Nov 22Amazing experience. My husband spoke highly of Dr Fryer and I had my first visit and was so impressed. He takes the time to explain why and how the pain is interfering. I finally feel like my back pain is manageable. Thank you Dr Fryer! 10/10!Claire Somerville04:33 25 Oct 22Personable and attentive, Dr.Fryer took the time to listen to me and ask me the right questions to determine the appropriate course of treatment - not just what type of treatment I needed but also what I was comfortable with. He respected my lived experience of my body and showed care by addressing any concerns i had. I've had lots of negative experiences with chiropractors in the past, and it took me a long time to find one I liked in Vancouver. After moving to Nanoose, I was apprehensive about working with a new practitioner, but Dr.Fryer made me feel comfortable and safe and his treatment was perfectly in line with my needs - gentle, confident and responsive. Also he and his receptionist were both a delight to chat with, and the office decor and spinal models he used to educate me were top notch. Thank you!

How Chiropractors Treat Pain
Pain reduction is often the number one reason why people seek out a chiropractor. Doctors of chiropractic understand the pain is transmitted through an intricate network, weaving through the body’s tissues. Dr. Jerome Fryer has extensive knowledge of the anatomy of pain generators as both a chiropractor and founder/chief innovation officer of Dynamic Disc Designs Corp. (which Dr. Fryer developed from the ground up). Often pain is produced with certain body movements or positions that are related to load and gravity. With his research knowledge using upright MRI, Dr. Fryer has created the models to help patients and other practitioners understand clearly the pain generators of the musculoskeletal system. The models cast light onto the anatomy in question and offer therapeutic solutions to decrease inflammation. Dr. Fryer ensures that the patient is heard at all times and makes their goals a top-priority.
Evidenced-based Approach
The anatomy of dysfunctional human joints begins with a reduction in the spacing between the bones. The narrower a joint is, the more dysfunctional it is. Narrowing of joint space width is the earliest signs of a joint that is not functioning properly. Proper alignment of the bones brings increased joint space which is at the root of Dr. Fryer’s treatment. Spinal manipulation, which increases the spacing of facet joint (which can be seen here ) OR the use of manual decompression techniques to improve the height of the intervertebral discs (like flexion distraction) is at the foundation of his treatments. Using an evidenced-based approach to spinal care, Dr. Jerome Fryer (chiropractor) works hard to stay abreast of the current research to provide the best outcomes for patients. His straight forward and rational approach to care provides relief as well as optimal spinal function to improve overall health.
Dr. Jerome Fryer in the News
Dr. Jerome Fryer’s recent publication in PLOS One titled: Real-Time Visualization of Joint Cavitation went world wide in the news. On April 15th, 2015 a press release, out of the University of Alberta, talked a little about how the study was initiated. This news was published in over 500 media stories including the The Blaze, The Guardian, Herald and News, Toronto Star, The Columbian…. just to name only a few. An interview with Dr. Fryer can be heard on As it Happens and also on the Jill Bennet Show. The inception of the study began when Jerome contacted his fellow colleague Greg Kawchuk, after an anatomical observation had been made in the development of one of his spine models. The Nanaimo Daily News wrote a nice piece. This research published in PLOS One has not defined the sound source. Dr. Jerome continues to push this research to help understand the physics of synovial joints. You can see how others are citing his research here >>
