Good experiences

Sarah Kubanski

Thank you Cory for your awesome work. After a disc bulge and physios not being able to help me, and doctors just wanting to prescribe me heavy medications to suppress my pain, I am actually functioning better and have totally resolved my disc injury from a car accident! I also sleep better and feel more energy and alert. So glad we found a chiro with proper skill

I have post surgical pelvic adhesions from surgery in 2006. The adhesions have caused digestive constrictions that result in chronic pain. Active Release Techniques (ART) has hugely improved my quality of life. Thank you Cory Hewko!

Debra Austin

My first time at the clinic and it was great! The chiropractor, Dr. Cory Hewko, DC, is wonderful. Caring, compassionate, and helpful even after the appointment is over. I look forward to working with him and his staff to improve my health.

It was nice of dr Hewko to squeeze me in on his lunch break. I had a great adjustment followed by some active release for my muscle tightness. Thanks to him and his awesome staff I will have a better drive back home to Edmonton. I highly recommend him and his team specially if you're passing through while on holidays.

Amazing staff! Flexible hours! Wide variety of treatment options! I cannot say enough good things about this place!!! If you’re having any issues go in and see Corey and his team they will be able to help you! The shockwave therapy that they offer is unlike anything I’ve ever had done before. Its a major reason why I am going to continue to go here. You have to experience it to believe it! Go in and try it.

First time back in awhile. Love the new location, warm, friendly environment and as always an awesome experience!

Aaron Whitaker

Great Chiropractor! Thanks for the real help with my health and being someone that truly listens when I have hit a wall with other medical professionals.

Sean Ash

I went here for the first time and it was a great experience. Rayne W was my therapist and she was engaging throughout the session and had great communication. I was provided with an abundance of take away information about self care. I look forward to my next session. Thank you

When we’re caught up in our “day-to-day,” every day, we can easily lose track of acknowledging credit where credit is due, particularly when we’re preoccupied in bewilderment that the rest of the world seems to have gone mad. Our politicians, who have been entrusted by us to serve OUR best interests, seem to be only serving their own and our civil servants appear to have forgotten that their job is to act for OUR needs and not some "official" narrative that has gone way too far down the rabbit hole. Common sense seems to have been abandoned in favour of following the rest of the lemmings, in haste and out of fear, into the sea. At an recent gathering of his professional health-care-giving peers, Cory Hewco, founder and Owner of Vernon Active Health, successfully appealed for a return to common sense, at least within his Chiropractic Association, by NOT mandating limits to the Rights and Freedoms Canadians have enjoyed until recently and which have been systematically removed by big pharma business, and those on the government dole. It takes a great deal more courage and endurance to swim upstream, against the current, and potentially at one’s professional peril, than it does to float lazily downstream with the rest. This is typical of Cory’s penchant for what is right, whether for his patients, his family and friends, his colleagues at Vernon Active Health or his fellow Canadians. It occurred to me today that Cory is an OBVIOUS recipient of “credit where credit is due” and deserves our collective support in whatever way we can offer it. Thank you, Cory…we appreciate your tenacity and resilience - please keep going!

Been seeing Tim Craven (RMT) for years, and when he moved over here I followed suit. The staff is really friendly, they remember you (and your stories you tell), and quite knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this location. They also do direct billing, which is a huge plus in my books.

The team at Vernon Active Health are all amazing people to work with, from the front receptionists to all the Doctors and specialists. They really care about the outcome of their clients. I've been working with Dr Cory Hewko for chiro for some back adjustments and Active Relief Therapy (ART) for my shoulder. Tara was also administrating Shockwave Therapy on my shoulder to help break down the calcium deposits and scar tissue. When I started with them a few months ago, I could barely lift my arm past my heart. The pain was so excruciating! Now I have movement to above my head again. Thank you for helping to provide some much needed relief! I own a horse boarding business, so having full mobility for my shoulder was critical. So happy with the results and would recommend the team to anyone. Great kid friendly place as well which made things convenient.

I was in a nasty accident, when a car sideswiped the motorcycle my husband and I were on. Thrown 15 feet, 2 fractured ribs, and a grade 3 concussion. I have to say, the people at Active Health are amazing. Jolaine Kroeger works hard to line up appointments that work for me with the therapists I need. And that can be trying at the best of time! Tim Craven - I have had fibro since II was 24, and he is very, very careful not to trigger it, as well as paying close attention to my pain levels. Always upgrading his knowledge! Riley Weatherhead - extremely knowledgeable in a lot of things medical, ( and many other fields). Working with both the concussion and the fractures...has therapies even the doctors didn't seem to know about! Tara Taylor - Is extremely focused on her clients well-being. Listens to what the patient is saying. and very much is not about pushing to a point of pain! Debbie Jonasson - very intuitive when it comes to her patients. A combination of acupuncturist and counselor. Patient and understanding All these amazing people are well trained in their fields. And have lots of knowledge of other fields , as well. If you have been injured, I highly recommend any of these people. And I'm a cranky old lady who isn't often impressed!

Vernon Active Health helps keep me going in my busy and physically demanding career and also keeps me enjoying my favorite activities like hiking and yoga. Cory Hewko has been my number one chiropractor for many years now, the ART he does before adjustments has been a game changer for my body in really positive way. I also see Helen for amazing craniosacral sessions that have helped with calming my nervous system and letting go of stress and tension, which has greatly helped with arthritis pain management. I also highly recommend acupuncture with Deb, last winter she was a big help to me when I was experiencing a period of deep fatigue and pain in my right arm. I am so grateful for this place, it really increases the quality of my life.

Cory and Chantal I truly want to CONGRADULATE you both on the beautiful new location that you have created! I know that buying and renovating an older building is hard work. But through the same planning, commitment, passion and dedication that you have shown to me over the past several years during my physical and personal rehabilitation, you have created a wonderful place. A ‘home’ built with your own hands for the next leg in your journey down the road to making your patient’s lives a better place to be! I am excited to watch as you utilize this new space to spread the many benefits of VERNON ACTIVE HEALTH CLINIC into our community. I truly appreciate all you have done for not only me and my family, but also the many friends that I have referred over the years. I just can’t possibly thank you enough!! Sincerely, Lee

What a great office!! Staff is so friendly and helpful. They really do care about the clients/patients well being. The yoga & acupunture workshop was wonderful.

This place is awesome! Cory has helped me immensely with my golf game over time. I’d recommend him every time to any golfer, for any issue, affecting any part of their body. Shannon Glenesk

I am always impressed by both the professional and support staff at Vernon. Active Health. They are really a team who work at providing a good experience from making an appointment to getting services. I have gone to Cory for years for chiropractic work. I have just started doing the facial cupping with Debbie Jonasson and have had very good results with acupuncture and in particular Deb's scar work with acupuncture. Thanks to Cory and his staff for a total package care centre.

Shout out to Dr. Cory Hewko.I first saw Dr. Corey at the end of January this year. My health has never been much good and at that time things were escalating.Since most of the problem seemed to be coming from the abdominal organs I wasn't really sure if a chiropractor could do anything for me.Well miracles happen everyday! Within 24hrs. of seeing Dr. Cory, severe problems that I had dealt with since July 2007 completely subsided. I've seen Dr. Cory about three times since January and the progress has been incredible. I feel like i've been given a chance, something that I couldn't even of hoped for before. So please people, when your hurting, consider chiropractic. Better yet, get an adjustment before you ever have to feel pain, it could be the best thing you ever did for yourself. Thank-you Dr. Cory for making such a difference in my life!
