Dr. Barry Sauser

After retiring from full time practice, he moved to beautiful Vancouver Island, a natural playground, to pursue his interests in cycling, running, swimming, hiking and skiing.
Dr. Sauser has always been an advocate of a healthy lifestyle through exercise, nutrition and conservative treatment. Working as a chiropractor has provided him the opportunity to offer these non-invasive, effective treatment approaches to his patients.
Consultations include postural analysis, spinal alignment and joint mobility assessment as well as muscular and other soft tissue evaluations. Treatment includes spinal adjustments, joint mobilization, traction and trigger point therapy to treat tight, painful muscle knots.
