Aurora Integrative Medical

Have dealt with Amber quite a few times and each time I have felt much better since my back is hardly ever sore anymore highly recommend her!

I had never been to a chiropractor before Amber and to be honest I was a little intimated about the idea of someone cracking my neck (we all have heard the horror stories before). However, it has been an amazing 1.5 years and I have been a regular patient of Dr. Amber Eckel since. one could say addicted!
Amber has so much passion for her career and is continuously training, attending classes/​seminars and teaching students to ensure that she is ahead of the game and impacting her field of expertise. She is extremely friendly and welcoming as well. May I add she volunteers at crossfit competitions in her spare time!
When I explain about the detail and care she gives to myself every appointment I have, people are shocked. She adjusts multiple areas, massages, stretches, cups, uses tools, provides me with exercises and most importantly ensures that she addresses any areas that are in pain. Many people get the «in and out» treatment, but trust me, with Amber you will not get that feeling ever!
I personally have extremely tight muscles, pain in my shoulders, neck… etc and Amber has helped me get my body and joints get back in position and allow me to recover so I can continue to train and do what I love in life. Not only that but is so informative as to what exercises I should stay away until certain muscles become stronger– all to ensure that I do not injure myself and end up in a worse condition.
I HIGHLY recommend you go and see Dr. Amber Eckel at Aurora Integrative Medical (AIM) whether it is your first time or you need an upgrade!

Was treated by RMT Niki Herron this evening. She was extremely professional and thorough with my treatment. I was recently in a car accident and she was able to accurately asses and treat my injuries. I would recommend her to anybody who is dealing with persistent or acute musculoskeletal issues. I have already booked my appointment for next week.

Knowing that I had to fill out a detailed form at my first visit, I deliberately arrived 10 minutes early for my 3pm 60 minute RMT session with Sorrel. It wasn’t until 3:15pm when Sorrel came out to greet me. We spent maybe 5 minutes doing a brief consultation; the actual massage didn’t start until approx 3:20pm. The massage was mediocre at best; none of my problem areas were addressed. She was very slow and her moves felt like they had no purpose. It was almost as if she was waiting for time to pass. At approx 3:50pm, Sorrel told me that the massage was over and that she was going to teach me some stretches. I spent the last 10 minutes of my session doing self foam roller stretches. If I can be honest, the foam roller provided more relief than the actual massage. While advice and demonstration on foam roller stretching is appreciated, my purpose being there was to receive a massage since I am unable to give myself one. At the end, she asked if I would like to purchase a foam roller. When I went to pay for my visit, I was shocked that I was going to be charged for a full 60 minute RMT session. It wasn’t until I had to remind the receptionist that Sorrel was late 15 minutes, that’s when she revised the invoice to a 45 minute session. It’s quite infuriating to think that I was going to be charged $ 108 for a 30 minute mediocre massage.

The massage therapist at this clinic Sorrel Adams is as good as it gets! She is super thorough and goes above and beyond. I started seeing her over 3 years ago and she has never once given me a poor treatment. If you are in need of a massage I would definitely recommend going to see Sorrel. Since starting with her my overall health and well-​being have improved immensely. I have also now seen Amber the chiropractor and Courtney the Naturopath. Both of them are great as well!

I originally went to Aurora Integrative Medical to see Dr. Hailey Kanester. I think it’s Dr. Hailey’s huge heart that makes her such an amazing Naturopathic Physician. She helped me through so many health issues. I really don’t know what I would’ve done without her!
During my treatment with Dr. Hailey, she referred me to some of the other practitioners in the clinic. Dr. Amber Eckel is by far the best chiropractor I’ve ever seen and Sorrel Adams is an excellent massage therapist. The Live Blood Analysis and Shiatsu Massage services they provide at this clinic are absolutely outstanding! I’ve also heard nothing but great things about Dr. Courtney Campbell, another ND at AIM. Finding this clinic completely changed my life.
Aurora Integrative Medical comes highly recommended to anyone in the Vancouver/​Burnaby area who wants to take charge of their health, and meet some really wonderful people while their at it :)

I’ve been a continuous patient at AIM since it opened in 2012. The staff and practitioners are all outstanding and provide a truly welcoming and warm environment. I especially like the online booking they provide via their website to check appointment availability and scheduling my appointments on my own. AIM offers naturopathic medicine, chiropractic care, massage, vitamin IV treatments, live blood analysis, clinical counselling, and acupuncture all in one location, and the receptionists are great about scheduling all appointments so you can get everything done in one visit.

I have been seeing Dr Campbell since 2012. I initially saw her to help with weight loss, and I ended up not only losing weight but feeling better physically and mentally. She figured out my skin problem that I had for years, even after seeing numerous MDs. She is very personable yet professional and I am glad I found her! I can’t recommend her enough!

I have been seeing Dr. Campbell for a few months for a host of issues from digestion to infertility. During my first appointment, as she was extensively reviewing all my symptoms and I started to get down thinking that I was untreatable. She got this tinkle in her eye and exclaimed that she was so excited because I was going to be feeling so much better very soon! She wasn’t wrong! Through blood tests it was discovered that I had food allergies and they were messing up my entire body (goodbye dairy & eggs!) and my medical Dr. had never, ever suggested I get tested for food allergies. I am on the road to wellness and truly believe I would not have got here without Dr. Campbell. She is caring and compassionate and so, so, so knowledgeable.

I have never been to a Chiropractor before Dr. Amber, but my apprehension was quickly alleviated when Dr Amber thoroughly went through the entire process.
I came to see her because I aggravated my lower back from an injury that i suffered last year at work. After just one adjustment, I felt a lot better. She even gave me some good pointers at the end of my session to look after my back and my whole body in general. She’s very knowledgeable, professional and most of all she’s very caring.
Also, she’s also affiliated with this product called «Intelliskin.» It’s a posture enhancing shirts that you can pretty much wear everywhere either at work, home or gym. I wore them the next day at work and first thing I noticed was I felt my shoulders were pressed back and my chest was opened up. I felt that I was upright the whole time. There are other health benefits to this product and if you want to explore more Dr Amber is willing to give you a better explanation or you can Google «Intelliskin.»
Overall, I would highly recommend Dr. Amber Eckel with high regards.

I just had the best adjustment by Dr. Eckel… I had no idea how much I needed that! I walked in without any pain, and I walked out feeling the best that I ever have! If you have not yet tried chiropractic, it is about time that you do! Dr. Eckel really knows what she is doing and has found her calling!!!

After being referred by a fellow Unilocaler, I decided to give Aurora a try, and I’m glad I did! Being a professional mover I suffer from all kinds of pain. When Dr. Eckel did her first evaluation and was able to pinpoint my symptoms, she worked on the issues for forty five minutes and I have to say, after the adjustments and the deep tissue massage, I feel great! If you’re looking for a great chiropractor in the Burnaby area, look no further! I hold Dr. Eckel in the highest regards for my chiropractic needs!

I was going to Dr. Eckel weekly when I suffered a knee injury in 2011. She was able to rehabilitate my injury well enough to not only be pain-​free, but remain an effective athlete. Her knowledge of the human frame, ART technique, and sport injuries makes her a valuable resource in the community for health and wellness. I would highly recommend Dr. Eckel!
