Essential community services

The area has a full complement of chiropractic, physiotherapy, acupuncture, x-ray ultrasound clinics, and holistic naturopathic specialists. However, Parksville Qualicum Beach is experiencing the same physicians shortage found in most small communities and rural British Columbia. Be sure to research the local physicians situation if this is an important relocation criteria for you.
