For more than three decades, Dr. Wayne Jakeman has been helping people in New Westminster and beyond feel their best. As a chiropractor with 34 years of experience, he has built lasting relationships in the community while staying true to his passion—helping people move better, feel stronger, and live healthier lives.

A Journey Rooted in Care

After earning his chiropractic degree in Toronto in 1991, Dr. Jakeman spent two years working in Australia before returning home to New Westminster. Since 1993, he has cared for thousands of local residents, practicing out of various locations, including Royal Square Mall and an Uptown heritage house. Today, you’ll find him at Catalyst Kinetics, a multidisciplinary clinic conveniently located on 12th Street—with free parking, a rare find in the city.

“I’ve been here so long because I love the history of New West and the connections I’ve made,” he shares. “You build relationships, and you want to keep them.”

What He Offers

Dr. Jakeman provides straightforward chiropractic care with a focus on spinal health, as well as custom orthotics. He also shares nutritional and lifestyle advice with patients who are interested in optimizing their overall well-being. His approach is “old-school chiropractic,” and he’s proud of the skill and precision that decades of practice have brought him.

“After 30 years, you develop a mastery,” he says. “I’m a really good adjuster, and I’m confident in the care I provide.”

Who He Helps

Patients of all ages come through Dr. Jakeman’s door—from newborns to seniors—and the reasons are as varied as the people themselves. Back pain, neck pain, and joint discomfort are common, but he emphasizes that chiropractic is about more than just relieving pain.

“When the spine works properly, the nervous system works better,” he explains. “That affects every aspect of health.”

Mothers often find relief from the strains of pregnancy and caring for young children. Retirees benefit from preventative care that helps them keep up with gardening and active living. And many patients discover they simply feel lighter, taller, and more energized after an adjustment.

A Special Office Companion

Adding even more warmth to the clinic is Masi, Dr. Jakeman’s four-year-old Bernadoodle. Friendly, calm, and adored by patients, Masi often accompanies him to the office. For many visitors, a greeting from Masi is just as much a part of the healing experience as the adjustment itself.

Breaking Misconceptions

One of the biggest challenges chiropractors face is overcoming misconceptions. Some worry adjustments might be unsafe, but Dr. Jakeman takes time to explain the science and uses tools, when needed, to help patients feel more comfortable.

“The truth is, most people are surprised by how immediate the relief can be,” he says. “They get up off the table and can’t believe how much better they feel.”

Why Choose Dr. Jakeman

What sets Dr. Jakeman apart is not only his technical skill but also his genuine care for his patients. He values the relationships he has built over 30 years and takes pride in helping people live healthier, more active lives.

“I’ve known some of my patients for decades,” he says with a smile. “That’s the part I love—making a real difference in people’s lives.”

Dr. Jakeman also produces a monthly newsletter. If you are interested in tips regarding health and fitness, send him an email to [email protected], and he will make sure the newsletter is sent to you.
