What to Expect
We know exploring a new type of care can feel daunting, and it’s important to us that any patient of Rai Chiropractic have access to all the information they might need before their first appointment. No matter if you’re exploring general, prenatal, pediatric, or athletic chiropractic care, our primary focus remains the same: create a plan tailored to your unique needs with the goal of restoring your body’s foundation so you can feel and function at your best.
Services
The Foundation for Total Health
-
Relief Care
During the first phase of chiropractic care, our goal is to determine the underlying factors keeping you from feeling your best. With this knowledge, we aim to reduce interference in the body so its overall functionality can improve.
-
Corrective Care
This phase of chiropractic care is centred around discovering the difference between feeling and function. Nerves and soft tissue may begin to heal more quickly, and patients can experience relief and a sensation of feeling like themselves again.
-
Wellness Care
Our goal is to use our understanding of the underlying issues that lead to your pain to help you develop healthy lifestyle habits and periodic checkups to avoid more problems down the road.
Your First Visit
-
1
Intake
Initial intake forms are an important first step to your chiropractic care and allow our doctors to understand your history and get to know you. You can download and complete these forms before your first visit, or arrive 10-15 minutes early to fill them out in our office.
-
2
Initial Consultation
Welcome to your first chiropractic appointment! Our doctors will take a thorough look through your intake forms and begin your visit with a sit down to chat through your health history, wellness goals, and any other questions or concerns you may have about chiropractic care.
-
3
Examination
Your chiropractic care will begin with a physical exam from one of our doctors to assess your posture and alignment. Then, we dig a little deeper with our state of the art CLA Scan technology. These scans help us look deeper than the spine to tell us how well the nervous system is functioning and where any underlying issues may reside. These noninvasive scans do not put anything into the body and are completely safe for everyone.

Digital X-ray Studies
Depending on the scope of your care and what will serve your body best, your chiropractic doctor may suggest digital X-rays be completed. These X-rays are affordable and are offered on site at Rai Chiropractic. They will allow the doctor to visualize your entire spine, giving them the most precise information so they can provide you with the best possible care.
Before you arrive
Intake Forms
Our initial intake forms for chiropractic care are available for download below. You can either print and complete these forms to bring along to your first appointment or email your completed forms to info@raichiropractic.ca before you arrive for your visit. We look forward to getting to know you!
Your Second Visit
-
1
Report of findings
The first portion of your second visit will be dedicated to going over all the findings from your history, exam, scans, and X-rays (if taken). Armed with this information, you and the doctor will then discuss recommendations and decide together the best plan of action for your chiropractic care. We always encourage bringing a friend or family member to this portion of your visit since we do cover a lot of ground.

Care
With a plan for chiropractic care in place, it’s time for your first adjustment. Our doctors will walk you through what to expect during this care and always take great care to make sure you’re getting the most precise adjustment for your needs and goals. We encourage patients to ask any questions they may have about their care — it’s important to us that you feel safe and comfortable under our care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Family-focused chiropractic care is at the centre of what we do here at Rai, but we help people from all ages and stages of life looking to pursue long-term functional wellness! This includes babies, children, adults, athletes, and those who are pregnant. If you’re located in Langley or the Lower Mainland and are ready to take a proactive approach to your health, we’re excited to help you get started.
Our chiropractic doctors provide general, prenatal, pediatric, and athletic chiropractic services using a functional approach centred around lasting results. At Rai Chiropractic, we use the Gonstead Technique. As a longstanding Langley chiropractic clinic, we value community and maintaining a positive environment where patients can seek pain relief, pain prevention, and natural healing for themselves, their family, or their family-to-be.
There are more than 100 chiropractic techniques in the world today. The Gonstead Method is more than just a technique. It is a system of meticulous analysis and evaluation, combining all necessary information, followed by delivering a specific, “hands-on”, bio-mechanically correct chiropractic adjustment. A Gonstead adjustment is comfortable, effective and incredibly safe.
The focus of a Gonstead adjustment is to be as specific, precise and accurate as possible, addressing only the problem areas (areas of subluxation). Great care is taken to ensure a mechanically correct position and a precise thrust to provide the most accurate and comfortable adjustment possible.
Chiropractic care uses hands-on, non-invasive techniques that can help restore your body’s foundational systems so you can heal naturally. Here at Rai Chiropractic, our doctors also help you maintain long-term balance and health by providing you with the right tools and knowledge. You’ll be given a folder containing your customized wellness program with all the information discussed during your appointments, and you’ll also receive our online Rai Chiropractic “Kick Start Your Health Workshop” via email to continue your education and care from the comfort of your own home!
Our CLA scan technology is state of the art and helps us look deeper than the spine to tell us how well the nervous system is functioning and where any underlying issues may reside. These non-invasive scans do not put anything into the body and are completely safe for everyone, including infants and pregnant people.
As soon as we’re able! The team here at Rai Chiropractic is always thrilled when someone decides to pursue chiropractic care, and we’ll do our best to work with your schedule. That being said, our focus is on long-term wellness.
Rai Chiropractic is your friendly Langley neighbourhood chiropractor! We’re located at 106-8047 199 St, close to the Langley Events Centre, but our patients are located all over the Lower Mainland, including Maple Ridge, Abbotsford, and Surrey.
