Calgary's Downtown West End Chiropractor
Dr. Richard Yoshimura

A Dedicated Chiropractor

Calgary, Alberta chiropractor, Dr. Richard Yoshimura

Dr. Richard Yoshimura has devoted his life to the improvement and maximization of human health and well being. At the age of 14, he decided he was going to be a chiropractor and healer and has never looked back. After studying biological sciences at the University of Calgary, Dr. Yoshimura moved to Toronto for 4 years to pursue his chiropractic education at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College. At college he served as the president of the Student Canadian Chiropractic Association. He was well known for being involved in numerous extracurricular programs including philosophy clubs, technique clubs, athletic clubs, and toastmasters. After graduating from college in 1996, he moved back home to Calgary with his wife Dr. Naomi Ichii. Since then, he has helped thousands of people in three successful chiropractic offices in Downtown Calgary.

Correct the Problem to Restore Function

Dr. Yoshimura has a personal philosophy that true heath care is about teaching and applying principles that support maximization of human function. In other words, give the human body the environment and building blocks that it needs to allow expression of its true potential. “Our “healthcare” system is primarily focussed on symptoms of disease or dysfunction.” says Dr. Yoshimura. “The mode of treatment for these problems is mainly anti-symptom rather than finding the cause and supporting return to normal, healthy function. My goal is always to identify the dysfunction that is creating a person’s trouble and then help them to correct the problem to restore as much normal function as possible.”

Continually Learning & Searching to Enhance Your Health

“I am continually learning and searching for the best this world has to offer to enhance the health and well being of my family and my clients. My post graduate work at the Mind-Body Institute at Harvard has been greatly influential in my knowledge and understanding of the human condition. There is no question that the way we think, feel, and act has direct impact on the quality of our health and our life’s experience. Since it controls and coordinates all human functions, it is essential that our nervous system is working at its best, as often as possible, throughout our lifetime.”

Low Force Spinal Adjustment Techniques

Clinically, Dr. Yoshimura uses gentle, low force spinal adjustment techniques. He is skilled in Activator, Torque Release (Integrator), Bio-energetic Synchronization (BEST), Chiropractic Biophysics (CBP), and Diversified techniques.

Dr. Yoshimura loves to spend time with his wife, his three children, friends and family, and with nature. Mountain biking is his favourite past time, yet he also enjoys snowboarding, hiking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and reading.
