I've been going to MSK for chiropractic adjustments following my MVA two weeks ago. I can honestly…read moresay it's been helping a lot far as the discomfort goes. That's wholly owed to Dr. Rylee Stephens who is an excellent chiropractor. While I'd definitely recommend you pay her a visit, what you should watch out for is the outright disrespectful receptionist. The reason I subtracted two other stars is the straight up rude and unhelpful attitude of this receptionist. She can't even wait for me to finish talking before she starts talking over it. Not a single please or thank you in the last two weeks I've been there. Everytime I visit it looks as though I'm inconvenienceing her by making her do her job. To not have to deal with her multiple times a week is the reason I booked my physio and massage elsewhere. I'm not sure if she just has a problem with me or if she just lacks any and all people skills required to fill her position. If I had to suggest a replacement for her, It'd be literally anyone else.

Decided to check out Jasmine TCM Clinic. The acupuncturist, Sam Lu, does a variety of techniques;…read morereflexology, aroma thererapy, acupressure, laser therapy and neurofeedback. Good - Reasonable prices ($60.00/90.00 for 60/90 min) - Treatment is for the full duration working on numerous areas - Enjoyed the needling along with a few specific reflexology points on the hands and arms Bad - No online booking available. However, it was easy to text and setup an appointment - The acupressure/Japanese massage was rough, not in a beneficial way - Ghetto table setup with plastic sheet coverings and towels - Was not asked to remove any clothing so wear loose items Decent but I'm still on the hunt to find my go to acupuncturist.

Dr. Speakman was recommended to my husband and I by a mutual friend. We were both reluctant to try…read morea chiropractor, but my husband's health issues were enough that we felt we had nothing to lose. My husband came to Dr. Speakman for his back issues, which Dr. Speakman seemed to resolve with twice a week and then once a week treatment. My husband was feeling quite fine at last but had another weekly appointment scheduled. He went... and it was terrible. Right at the time of treatment my husband felt awful, and walked out in considerable pain. He felt funny in the head, and sick. Hoping it was temporary, he waited a few hours but his symptoms worsened. The cracking sound and feel in his neck did not diminish. The next day he spoke to Dr. Speakman who suggested hot - cold therapy on his neck. This did not resolve the issue and two days later (today) Dr. Speakman asked him to come in for another session. This subsequent session did NOT help my husband at all. The pain and suffering he is now in (and we're both hoping it's not permanent) is directly as a result of his last scheduled treatment. Dr. Speakman tried to pass it off as something else but there is nothing else it could be. Dr. Speakman's aftercare was deplorable; he never followed up with my husband after this nightmare. I've spoken with a number of individuals who were first shocked that he worked on my husband's neck when there was no need, and secondly, that Dr. Speakman would perform a second treatment so soon after such severe complications from the previous treatment. I can only feel like we were a cash cow now. We're both VERY worried at this point that he's suffered permanent damage. He may be a good chiro for some, but all it takes is one very serious error like this and suddenly you realize you've just placed your life in the hands of someone who could cause serious harm. That is true of any chiro, I suppose. ___________________________ ETA: adjustments have resulted in ongoing physical and cognitive issues in my husband. We are devastated. We will NEVER recommend any chiropractic treatment to anyone. And I certainly wouldn't recommend anyone with poor after care practices and attempts at passing problems (resulting from treatment) on to some other factor that clearly doesn't exist.

I went to Annie Savage to receive Prolotherapy. Several years ago, I tore my rotator cuff and nothing has helped! I decided to try Prolo after being recommended to me. I have had a few friends try it who had success so it was a no brainer for me. I googled Prolo options downtown and found that not many naturopaths offer it. Annie came highly recommended and the centre focused on women's health so I was in! I got an appointment pretty fast. You have to fill out a pretty extensive form which helps her to treat you.( I went for my shoulder but left with help with other issues based on my form.) She recommended Prolo and we got right to it. She was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We were able to talk and deal with more than just my shoulder and she recommended several options to make sure I was comfortable with my choices. I've been back 4 times and have done more services with her. She has responded to my questions via email super quickly and has been an incredible doctor for me. I will continue to use Annie and I can't recommend her enough!

I've never been to a physiotherapist before, but when my knee started to hurt (from the running…read moreI've been doing), I thought I'd better check it out. I found Urban Active in the GLBA Directory, and sent them an email. Within a couple of hours, I had a reply, with all the details I needed. I was able to get an appointment for two days later, at the time that fit my schedule. Eric, the physiotherapist, was friendly and professional. He explained to me what he was doing, asked me relevant questions, and gave me a clear explanation of how to deal with my issues (the ones he could help me with, anyway). Examination, diagnosis and treatment - all in one session! Armed with good advice and a stretching regimen, I was not told that I have to comeback in a couple of weeks. Rather, it was more like, "Do what I've told you to do, and you shouldn't need to come back. If things are still not better, let me know." Superstar! Highly recommended!
