Philosophy

We are all meant to shine. We all have the potential to shine. The highest expression of one’s Life Force is Health. With Health, you are free to shine, serve and be fabulous.

Educational background
Dr. Anita Hildebrandt is a licensed, Board Certified Doctor of Chiropractic. As a “shiny” young athlete learning to ski, it was an injurious fall that day that established a remarkable chain of events. It took one treatment by a Chiropractor to restore instant relief and normal function. She wanted to be a miracle worker too! Dr. Hildebrandt completed her undergrad studies at UBC with a Bachelor of Physical Education-Exercise Physiology (now Bachelor of Human Kinetics) while competing at the national level as an 800m runner. She then completed her Doctorate of Chiropractic at Palmer College of Chiropractic West (Santa Clara, California) in 1991 where she resided and practised during her 10 years there. Her continuing education includes studies in Laser Therapy, Sports Chiropractic and most recently in perinatal care.

Areas of Practice
Where there is postural spinal stress (neuromusculoskeletal issues), there is lack of normal body function, be it at the initially unfelt, undetected cellular level or at the full blown symptom and dis-ease stages. Dr. Hildebrandt’s work includes detecting and addressing where each patient is at in any stages of the process and works with each individual to optimize their health. Dr. Hildebrandt uses gentle and effective Chiropractic adjustments via various techniques, muscle and tendon release and balancing, stretches, exercises along with prescribed home care. She has worked with chronic repetitive stress injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, as well as headaches, whiplash, low back strains, sciatic pain, growing pains, TMJ, chronic tension, pre and post natal issues, sports injuries as well as providing preventative wellness care. Special note: Kids need Chiropractic too. Dr. Anita brings 20 years of practical experience to the table along with an engaging, grounded presence with heartfelt compassion and listening.

Personal History
Dr. Hildebrandt is a Vancouver native living in West Vancouver with her husband and young daughter (who shines!). Once a competitive athlete, Dr. Anita played Basketball, Track & Field and Soccer at the Provincial and National level. Living in California opened the doors to adventures involving intense mountain biking, back packing, surfing, marathon training, triathlete competitions and windsurfing. Today you might catch her snowboarding, running along the seawall or mountain trails, doing yoga or just hanging out in nature with her family or friends. Besides her family, what jazzes Dr. Anita is being a witness to and present of, the returning of Health in all areas of life be it in the people she knows or the environment we all depend on.
