Chiropractic Care for UVic Staff and Students
Between lecture halls, lab benches, and back-to-back deadlines, it’s easy to let neck tension, tight shoulders, and nagging aches become background noise. Whether you’re logging hours at a desk, training with a UVic team, or simply trying to get through exam season standing up straight, chiropractic care may help you manage the physical demands of university life.
On-Campus Care Built Around University Life
We operate right on campus, so chiropractic support doesn’t require a special trip across town. Our focus is on assessing how your spine and joints are moving and providing hands-on chiropractic care where appropriate. It’s a conservative, non-surgical approach to musculoskeletal care aimed at helping to improve mobility, reduce discomfort, and helping enhance movement and function.

The Tension That Builds From Lecture Halls, Laptops, and Late Nights
Hours hunched over a laptop or textbook add up in ways that are easy to ignore until they’re not. Between coursework, part-time jobs, and training schedules, the UVic community shows up with a familiar mix of complaints:
- Neck and upper back tension from studying or screen time
- Shoulder tightness and stiffness from desk work
- Headaches linked to posture and muscle strain
- Low back discomfort from long periods of sitting
- Sprains, strains, and overuse injuries from sport and training
- Reduced mobility following an accident or fall
Two Chiropractors Who Know Campus Life Inside and Out
Care is provided by our two experienced Victoria chiropractors, Dr. Milton and Dr. Bidgood, each bringing a different lens to the same hands-on, personalized approach. One practitioner draws on a background working with competitive athletes and a personal history with sports injuries and physical strain, offering a practical, patient-centred approach.
The other has spent years working specifically with UVic students and staff, with particular attention to the tension and postural issues that come from studying and desk-based work. Your visit begins with an assessment of how you’re moving and where you’re compensating, followed by adjustments tailored to what your body actually needs, not a one-size-fits-all routine.
Getting Back to Studying, Training, and Everyday Life Without the Ache
Consistent chiropractic care isn’t just about chasing pain after it shows up.
Billing Made Simple for Students and Staff
Extended health coverage shouldn’t be another thing to figure out during exam season. Our chiropractors at UVic bill directly under the UVSS Plan for eligible undergraduate students and the Graduate Student Plan for grad students, so care can often be accessed with little to no out-of-pocket cost at the time of your visit. Faculty and staff benefit plans are also billed directly wherever the plan allows.
Custom Foot Orthotics for the Demands of Campus Life
Whether you’re walking across campus between classes, standing through a shift, or training for a sport, your feet are doing more work than most people realize. Custom foot orthotics address that foundation directly, helping address foot mechanics that can contribute to knee, hip, and low back strain over time. It’s a small addition to care that may improve comfort during long days on your feet.
Ready to Move, Study, and Train Without Discomfort?
Getting through a demanding semester or training block shouldn’t mean pushing through discomfort that’s affecting your day-to-day activities. If tension, an old injury, or a new one is slowing you down, our chiropractors at Victory Therapeutics, located in the SUB at UVic, provide care tailored to your individual needs and goals.
