Dr.Sterling’s professional focus is in family and sports care with an added focus on neurological conditions such as peripheral neuropathy and fibromyalgia.

(Dr. Sterling Armata’s) treatments help me to maintain my excellent health, and allow me to pursue my hobbies with strength, flexibility and consistency…

I am a healthy active woman in my late 50s who loves to cycle, garden, and Dragonboat. I am an office worker and sit way too much at a desk staring at a computer screen. I have been treated by Dr. Sterling Armata, DC for a few years now for my lower back issues and of all the Chiropractors I’ve visited in the last 30 years, I admire Dr. Armata the most for his great skill as a Chiropractor, his unique and effective techniques, and his philosophy and words of wisdom. I always leave the clinic with my back feeling better and my spirits revived. I have learned to visit Dr. Armata just before Dragonboat festivals and attribute his adjustments to my ability to “reach” a couple more inches in the boat and dig a little deeper, helping to lead our team to success in races. His treatments help me to maintain my excellent health, and allow me to pursue my hobbies with strength, flexibility and consistency. It’s always a pleasure to visit Dr. Sterling Armata and I appreciate and recommend him as a great Chiropractor.

(Dr. Sterling Armata) has the best adjusting skills l have felt in my twenty-nine year career as a Chiropractor.

Let me give you a brief history of Dr. Armata. He has been my personal Chiropractor for approximately fifteen years. In fact, he has the best adjusting skills l have felt in my twenty-nine year career as a Chiropractor. Often I see other Chiropractors in his office as well, so they are aware of his fine technical skill. He is a very caring, compassionate Doctor and is great at educating his patients while adjusting them. He has a very calm and reassuring demeanour that puts patients at ease. He has proven to be a success and his experience is an asset to any patient. I urge you to get adjusted by this technique master. He has a wealth of knowledge and l often bounced clinical questions his way. One final and important note…he is extremely honest and ethical.

Dr. Sterling Armata has been our family chiropractor for three years. Over the years, Dr. Armata has developed trusting, safe relationships with all our family, including two of our children who were terrified of having their spines worked on and my husband who has a history of sciatic, surgery and chronic back pain. Dr. Armata has proved to be a highly skilled practitioner. He is efficient, yet thorough, professional, courteous, kind and patient. We are so grateful to have access to such a skilled practitioner here, in the Okanagan.

Thank you Dr. Armata!

I feel very lucky to have encountered such a caring and creative health care practitioner

I have been a patient of Dr. Armata’s for 5 years. I feel very lucky to have encountered such a caring and creative health care practitioner. Dr. Armata has taken on researching treatment for some complicated neurological issues. Undertaking experimental treatment can be daunting. We have worked towards wellness diligently and I can say without a doubt that my improvements are very much due to Dr. Armata’s excellent care.

Dr. Sterling is extremely careful, skillful, and precise, and at the same time is an excellent listener and very polite.

I have visited many Chiropractors over the years and l have to say that hands-down Dr.Sterling Armata is the best I have ever met. Dr. Sterling is extremely careful, skillful, and precise, and at the same time is an excellent listener and very polite. My daughter had a very stiff back for 10 years following a gymnastics accident. Dr. Sterling’s gentle approach was able to put her at ease, and has become the only practitioner she trusts to work on her back. I heartily recommend Dr. Sterling to anyone who needs chiropractic care.
