After an accident, I needed physio for my wrist/ hand/ arm…read more I had 16 sessions with Laura. My sessions where approximately 40 mins, I saw Laura, the actual physiotherapist for about 5 mins. The rest of the time I was attended to by a clinic assistant * who had a much better bedside manner* The sessions where pretty much the same each time, was not asked specifics about how things were feeling. My final session, which was also an assessment, was very dismissive , Laura focused on how the insurance company would percieve her review and whether they would approve more sessions or not. She told me she would ask for 6 more. * Found out after that she asked for 12. * I had a fitting for a wrist brace that I had been prescribed, was told that it would take about a week. I made many phone calls to Choice for 3 weeks after that. Was given on going conflicting information from Dee at Choice. Was told that I would be able to pick up my brace when It was dropped off by the brace company. Kept calling, and could not get a straight answer about why it had been 4 weeks and still no brace. At one point Dee said " we are waiting for approval" .... I asked from who ? For what? Was told " your insurance company " After being told at the time of the fitting that insurance companies DO NOT direct Bill for braces. I asked why didnt someone try to Ask me about this first. I told Dee that I was paying for the brace, and that I needed it asap. Again was told that when the brace was dropped off, I would be called.... Waited another week. Called back, as well as my injury lawyer , who also spoke to Dee. Dee told my lawyer that I had an appt that very afternoon . I had no idea about this appt. I called and spoke with Emily, who checked that I in fact did NOT have any appt. There is a huge lack of communication at Choice. Between staff, and clients alike. The last time I spoke with Dee, she told me that she would have the brace person call me. THREE weeks later , I received a call from the brace person, * after my lawyer made yet another call to Choice. * was told that she must have been given the Incorrect # for me, as she left a voice mail message weeks before.* I did not have a voicemail message. FINALLY after 6 weeks, I am picking up my brace directly from the brace office, as I want NOTHING else to do with Choice. I DO NOT recommend Choice healthcare in Dartmouth to anyone.

Chiropractic treatment has been foreign territory to me up until this point in my life. I've heard…read morelots of good things from those who utilize it, as well as a handful of negative comments from those who did not find it helpful. I have chronic musculoskeletal issues which have benefited greatly from alternative treatment modalities, but have not disappeared entirely. A Google search led me to Choice Chiropractic. Pros: - Friendly, efficient reception experience - I printed off and completed the New Patient form prior to my visit, which made the transaction even faster. - Clean and modern office. It's quite small, but that's okay. - Wide range of services available: massage, nutrition counseling, physiotherapy, orthotics, etc. - Fantastic first (and second) consultation with Dr. Warren Hefford. He's very upbeat, personable, and efficient. He did a great job of explaining various chiropractic treatments and their intended goals, and he kept the lines of communication open throughout the entire visit. I left feeling rather "worked on", as he told me I would, but the satisfaction of hearing nearly every one of your vertebrae pop outweighed the day or two of soreness that followed. Cons: - The clinic is difficult to access from Main Street if there's any amount of traffic; left turns are darn near impossible. - You will have to book well in advance, at least for evening chiropractic services. I accept that this is the case for most clinics, but I understand that some people might find this frustrating. If you're interested in sampling what Choice has to offer, I encourage you to give them a call. I'll be a regular patient until I leave the province!

I won't lie I was like many people a skeptic when it came to naturopaths and chiropractors. The…read morestaff at Pillars of Health have certainly changed my mind. I have been suffering with severe headaches and migraines for almost two years now. I've been for test after test, and tried many different medications. As a last resort I decided to follow a co-workers suggestion and try out a naturopath at Pillars of Health. I booked an appointment with Dr. Jennifer Salib Huber (who is also a dietitian), and immediately felt at ease. She asked me more questions than I think my family doctor has ever asked me, and then was able to determine a likely cause, and a treatment plan including dietary changes and visits to a chiropractor (not a pile of prescription meds!) In three days I had better results than I had had in the past two years, and the following week I went to see Dr. Denise Wright, the chiropractor in the office, who also helped me greatly but with no big whipping or snapping movements that I was scared of. She was also great when it came to putting me at ease, and always uses the gentlest method of adjustment possible. She also suggested I see a Registered Massage Therapist (Meghan L. Munro (Palmer), and all three combined have virtually gotten rid of my headaches. I know for someone without medical coverage this can be expensive but for those who are covered by an insurance plan I would highly recommend all of the staff at Pillars of Health. I also liked that they are trying to help me not have to come back. I know that my sound weird but sometimes I feel like (especially with private practitioners), they want you to keep coming so they keep getting paid, but here getting you better really is their #1 priority. They do direct bill to Blue Cross, and their clinic is very clean and welcoming.

Well it did work! I'm off narcotics, reduced the other medications and feel terrific. She's helped me through back pain, lack of sleep, reduced energy levels, thyroid issues, and more. I can't say enough good things about their willingness to help and want you to feel better. My first visit was a head to toe overview of an hour to make sure we would focus on what was required. She's worked to make me feel better and is never trying to make me come more often than required.

I have also seen the Massage Therapist, Jennifer there and she's terrific as well. She used just the amount of pressure I could handle on my back and was very skilled and professional. From the moment you walk in the door and are greeted by Carol or Annette's lovely smile and conversation, to the moment you leave, you feel like a family friend and are treated in a way that shows they really care about their patients.

When you move to a new city, how do you find a chiropractor? Personally, I'm always leery. After…read moreall, they are manipulating your spine and other joints. Somehow looking through the Yellow Pages is too...too...well...random. So I turn to the people I know and if they're happy with someone, I'll give him/her a try. Problem for me...none of my local friends or family have been. But Helen, my favorite checkout lady at Sobey's, in a few of our chats over the last couple of years has mentioned Dr Katherine MacAdam and told me she was a miracle worker. And she is! Just a few sessions with this very professional, very bubbly chiropractor and I'm a new woman. Plus she has a couple of amazing massage therapists in her office too...but that's another Yelp story.

Today I went on a recommendation from a friend to the Massage Addict. This is not my regular…read morelocation to go but I thought I would give it a chance. Walking in I was greeted by a friendly woman, rude of me not to get her name but she was very helpful. Massage Addict is actually a membership based massage therapy location which long story short means $50 for a 1 hours massage. Yes you have to sign up for 12 months but you can leave at any point.. This location is actually pretty new. Nice decorated with a vibrant green wall when you first walk in which is very eye catching. Nice white leather coach to relax while waiting. Micheal actually gave me my massage and he was very good, very strong I did not know weather to cry or hug him. But the most important thing my back feels 100% better and this was my first one. I have already booked for March and I can not wait. Oh yeah they are starting the week of Feb 21 with Esthetics's services as well and the prices are very reasonable. Some of the services that they offer are Beyond Brazilian I can just imagine but other then waxing they will do Facial care as well as Nails. I will post a picture tomorrow for you..

Only this year did I discover that I have $500 on my medical plan at work for things like massages,…read morechiro, etc. This benefit extends to my spouse as well. Having felt quite frustrated with my insurance company as of late and getting more so as the months go on, I decided this was a nice way to relax and also "avenge" myself by ensuring that we are sucking every last dollar out that we're entitled to on our plan. I haven't had a lot of experience with getting massages (none in fact) but as a business these guys are solid. Friendly front desk staff, and the therapists are professional and friendly. I always walk out of there feeling a little more relaxed and a little less tense. The introductory rate can't be beat and the monthly membership is definitely a savings. And as with all benefits I put it on my credit card for the points and then have my insurance company reimburse :) #winning

So after a lot of rest, I needed to help the rehab along, so I headed down the road for a massage at Alderney Chiropractic. Oh. My. God. Awesome. My therapist's name was Mhari and she was just great. She was knowledgeable and had that great massage style that felt really gentle but you could tell she was really working out the kinks. Considering the area (yup, my butt), she totally helped me feel comfortable. Have also heard fantastic things about the resident chiropractor as well, though haven't had treatment myself. Another favourite was student discount--LOVE that. Great experience! Try them out! :)

His years of experience as an RMT certainly shine - I have chronic musculoskeletal issues in my upper back, neck, and shoulders that have quieted significantly since I started seeing him. The atmosphere that he has created in his home-based practice is one of tranquility and professionalism, and to top it off he is very friendly and personable. John's services are also very reasonably priced, and he does direct billing for Blue Cross. I highly recommend booking yourself in for an assessment if you suspect that you need corrective treatment - he will have you feeling better in no time!
