Magnetic Field Therapy (MFT)
Bulkley Valley Chiropractic has imported “Emfield Pro” from Germany. This is the latest development in magnetic field therapy. It’s very popular in Europe, particularly in Germany. The 3 tesla emField created is 10,000 times that of the earth and 600 times that of a strong magnet. It stimulates all body cells to a depth of 4 inches, making all cells healthier. The mechanism of action is that the emField stimulates production of nitric oxide resulting in better channeling for sodium and potassium ions across cell membranes. Regardless of specific cell function, all cells function better! Including diseased or aged cells!
As cell membrane charge improves, the cells have more ENERGY to perform normal functions.
Clinical Benefits of MFT
- Arthritis
- Nerve inflammation producing pain and or numbness
- Muscle and joint pain
- Strengthening pelvic floor
- Urinary Incontinence
- Nerve regeneration
- Reduced Inflammation
- Improved Circulation
What is a Magnetic Field ?
A magnetic field is a vector field that describes the magnetic influence on moving electric charges, electric currents, and magnetic materials. A moving charge in a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its own velocity and to the magnetic field.

Custom Orthotics
Pain and discomfort throughout your body may actually be caused by your feet. If your arches collapse, you can feel the effects all the way up to your neck. What happens with the feet affects the whole body above the feet, (joints, muscles, and nerves) just as the foundation of a house affects the entire house. By getting your feet scanned, you may be taking the first step towards feeling less pain and living a more comfortable and active life.
Bulkley Valley Chiropractic orthotics are customized to account for
- Type of use (Activity level)
- Sensitivity of feet
- Leg length discrepancy (built-in heel lifts)
- specialized needs (magnet inserts)
Our orthotics are flexible and comfortable, and yet firm, utilizing Sorbothane which, like intervertebral discs, provides both cushioning and firm support.
Your feet are measured by a 3D scanner in the standing posture so that your orthotics will be customized to support your individual feet and align your feet to a normal posture position.

Benefits of Aqua Therapy
Prior to Chiropractic adjustments, Aqua Therapy complements the adjustments by relaxing the body. Looser muscles and a more relaxed frame of mind make adjustments easier and help adjustments hold better.
Musculoskeletal pain and stress management and relaxation. Aqua Therapy relaxes your muscles and reduces pain from muscle tension.
Customized Lymphatic Drainage Therapy. Helps you eliminate toxins from your body fluids. Rhythmic and gentle jet pulses in the desired lymphatic zones, always towards the right side of the heart, unload the interstitial fluids of unwanted biological products. The interstitial fluids, outside the cells, are in a way a community parking lot for wastes and toxins. The circulatory system, along with the liver, kidneys, and colon are instrumental in getting rid of unwanted waste particles. Lymphatic drainage of the interstitial fluids into the venous portion of blood circulation is essential.
Strenuous exercise can cause sore aching muscles due to the lactic acid that accumulates in the muscle. Aqua Therapy assists in loosening the muscle and increasing the blood circulation in the muscle to reduce pain and restore energy.
Rehabilitation of burns, sprains, and strains is improved as blood circulation is improved in damaged tissue muscle, and ligament injuries recover faster.
