Reviews of Dr. Iain Harrington - Evidence Based Chiropractor (Physiotherapist)

Bailey Gardner

Ian was very good at locating the tweak in my shoulder and gave me good workouts and advice that I still use today! I would definitely recommend him!

Vicki Erickson

Evidence based treatment drew me to Dr Ian Harrington when the pain in my hips was so bad it interfered with my ability to walk. My first appointment was an eye opener as Dr. Harrington listened carefully to my tales of woe. He then explained his (evidence) based approach to healing and it certainly made sense to me. After examining me for flexibility and strength and any possible damage to my hips he designed a fitness regime that reassured me that I could be fit and healthy even though I am in the shade of 75. Within three weeks the pain was almost all gone and no longer interfering with my sleep. Do I still get pain? You bet! But now it is the pain of a serious workout and I have earned it! I feel empowered and confident that under his care the final lingering ache will soon be under control. Would I recommend Ian Harrington? Yes! I most certainly would! He is a bright, personable and caring man with an wholistic approach to chiropractic medicine that is refreshing. He worked WITH me to develop a healing program designed specifically for my needs. Thank you Dr. Harrington!!

Dr. Iain spent the time to diagnose my issue properly. He ensured that my own misconceptions were cleared up. We worked together on a treatment plan and I am happy to be pain free. I would highly recommend Dr. Iain.

I saw Iain after a major sciatica event that produced intense nerve pain and restricted all of my physical activities. His approach being “knowledge is power” helped me tremendously in understanding of my condition. Effective adjustments and strength exercise given to me helped and gave me confidence that my problem will end soon. Iain is a guy I will be looking for if my disc decides to herniate again.

Working with Iain is like no other chiropractic experience I've ever had. Iain's thorough full health approach is wonderful. I've never had such an inclusive medical history taken and I felt like Iain cared about all aspects of my health and recovery.

For the latter half of last year, my hip was bothering me and Dr. Harrington was able to fix it in 15 minutes! My hip had been seizing up after I drove and painful at night while trying to sleep on it. For months, I was concerned about what was wrong with me, how much treatment would cost and if it was worth having the radiation of an X-ray. My aunt and mom have hip problems so I was wondering if it would be a life sentence. Dr. Harrington explained that sometimes X-rays are necessary, but in his assessment, the cost of an X-ray would outweigh the benefit. He has a friendly, honest, reassuring nature and of course I was convinced after he treated me and the pain went away.

Dr. Harrington's approach is innovative and holistic - a modern and welcome perspective. Unlike a lot of health professionals, his style is open, friendly and professional. He listens to what you have to say and welcomes your input. He has many 'tools' in his arsenal and is expert at finding the ones that work for you. I highly recommend Dr. Harrington and I am extremely happy to be working with him. He has helped me tremendously.

Iain is a great practitioner and really listened to me in order to treat my back and sacral nerve issues. He was professional, knowledgeable and took the time to hear my issues and treat me. I would recommend Iain to anyone in pain and frustrated by symptoms impacting their life. Thanks again Iain.

Diane Hogan

Ian is very good at what he does. He is able to educate you well on the indicators or causes of your condition, which he has well assessed. Treatment is particular to your condition, which personally, I can attest has been essential to recovering the norm of my movement/abilities.

Dr. Iain Harrington is a gem! He is very professional, patient, and caring in his practice. He answered all my questions fully, and provided a safe space to allow for an amazing healing experience. He is not only a fantastic chiropractor, but a great listener. I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. A+++ !

I would highly recommend Iain Harrington. He helped me feel healthy and like myself again, and realize my fitness goals. I will be going back to Iain in the future. I can’t recommend him enough.

Paula Ripley

I went to Iain with serious shoulder pain that had persisted for months. He took the time to diagnose the cause, educate me about the cause and habits that contribute, then began setting up a program that would turn it around. I have seen vast improvement in my pain and mobility since I started working with Iain, he is a knowledgeable practitioner but also an amazing cheerleader to keep me motivated. It is obvious that he genuinely cares about my progress. I don't hesitate to recommend him!

Awesome experience. I was in pain constantly with my right hip and leg..most days I didn't feel like doing anything or going anywhere. All that has changed for me...I do and go all the time now. He is very wise for a young man and he asks alot of questions that guides him to the route of ones problems. I am truly grateful for all of his help And guidance for the future. Thank you Dr. Harrington Wendy Fischer

Dr. Harrington is the best! He's incredible knowledgeable and, I believe, truly cares for his clients and their well being. I feel blessed to be working with a professional that has my best interests at heart.

Happy to recommend Iain! I went to Iain with shoulder pain that had lasted several months and nothing I was doing seemed to be helping. Iain's assessment was thorough and he prescribed a few new-to-me exercises as homework. Within 3 weeks and 2 sessions, the pain was gone. I've added these exercises into my regular routine and I'm still pain free one month later and back to all regular activity!

Kat Esau

I have never had such amazing care from any health practitioner. I highly highly recommend Dr.Harrington at yellow cedar.

Mickie Donley

I could barely walk because of severe lower back pain when I went in to see Dr Harrington for the first time. He spent about 45 minutes with me. When I left I was able to walk normal with very little pain. I was so grateful to him for the pain relief. Within a couple days, I had zero pain in my lower back. I would recommend Dr Harrington to anyone that is interested in having modern chiropractic treatment.

Richard Brown

Was quick to isolate the issues I was having and was able to give me exercises that worked those areas well. I wish I had gone to see Iain sooner

I can happily recommend Iain. He spent some time asking questions and listening to my answers in assessing me and diagnosing my problems. He explained my condition, offered a realistic outlook and outlined treatment options. His approach to care is holistic and evidence-based, which is refreshing. But, as a patient who was used to "old-school" chiropractic care, it has brought the odd surprise. For example, he hasn't wanted to provide adjustments unless I needed them (which is actually how it should be). And my treatment plan has required a bit of effort and commitment on my part, in the form of a few regular exercises that I can feel are making me stronger. I think that if new patients keep an open mind, place their trust in Iain and put some effort into their treatment plan if required, they will be pleased with the results.

In my experience, most chiropractors rush through their appointments with a "whack-'n-crack" cookie-cutter approach to treatment. Dr. Harrington is the only chiropractor I've met who takes the time to listen and thoroughly assess his patients. His approach to treatment is to provide patients the tools and education to self-manage their injuries and pain so that they don't become reliant on frequent, weekly treatments. After seeing many chiros for over two years to treat my herniated L5-S1 disc, Iain helped me overcome the pain and dysfunction to the point that I no longer needed to see him. I highly recommend Iain as Campbell River's best chiro!

Dr. Iain is, hands-down, the most diligent, thorough and honest chiropractor in town. He conducted a complete, 1 hour assessment on me when I had some low-back pain, and helped ease my fears that it was “serious”. It really only took a few treatments before I was back to my usual routine lifting heavy weights. He also helped my husband recover from his back injury and he’s back to his usual activity level. Campbell River / Comox Valley is so fortunate to have him. if you’ve had bad chiropractic experiences before like I have, trust me, Dr. Harrington is different.

I have had knee issues for quite sometime, and had recently messed up my back and it just never felt the same. Iain is very knowledgeable and great at explaining what is going on. I also was very nervous about seeing a chiropractor, but working with Iain is great and I wish I gone in sooner.

Sandra Holme

I highly recommend Dr. Harrington. I have had issues with my lower back for years. He spent time with me and explained so much about back issues. He taught me the tools I needed to correct and strengthen my back. My back has never felt better. Thank you so much!
