I've been going to this clinic since I was 8 back in the days that Dr. D.K. Ladell was running the…read moreshow. I'm the third generation of my family to go to this clinic. The adjustments are good and solid. None of this pussy-footing around that other clinics do. How would I know this if I've been going here since way-back-when you may ask? When I was in university in Ottawa I had some studying related back/neck problems and tried to find a good chiro there. Trying chiropractors looking for a good solid adjustment was very hard. Not only this, a person generally wants a doc with a good bed-side manner too, no? After numerous attempts, lets say I had to settle on a not-so-bad chiro out east until I got back home. Anyhow - a couple of years ago (going on 4??) Dr. Carson Smith took over the biz from Ladell Sr. In doing so, he updated and expanded the office space, took on better clinical staff and expanded the services they now provide. Pretty damn cool to see. Despite all these changes, the level of service and treatment has remained constant, if not improved. Dr. Carson is vibrant, full of helpful information and up to speed on the latest studies in the industry. With a bubbly 'table-side' manner and all the services to help his clients holistically at his fingertips, this guy basically rocks it. I've given several personal referrals to friends, family & co-workers to this clinic and have heard all good things. If you are new to town or new to chiropractic treatment - check him out.

Until two weeks ago, I'd never been to a chiropractor in my life. I've always been scared and…read morecreeped out by the treatment concept. However, based on a recent injury and suggestion by a physio that I see a chiro, here I am. I wouldn't have had a clue where to start looking for one that I'd trust. Thankfully, a friend who has received effective treatment by one of the clinic's practitioners, Dr. Scot Ladell, recommended that I try him out. I actually sent a few friends to him based on my other friend's recommendation and they both had rave reviews, further encouraging me to see him. So far, two thumbs up for Dr. Ladell. He plays sports like I do and shares the same mindset, which is "Hurry up and fix me so I can get back at it." As Sylvie C. said, there's no pussy-footing around. I've had two adjustments so far and while I realize my issue will take time to resolve, I was already performing better the day after the first treatment than I had when I injured myself the week before. Adjustment two made even more of a difference. My appointments have not started on time, but if Dr. Ladell is treating his other patients the way I'm being treated, then he is completely forgiven. My experience is that he takes his time to ensure all of my questions are answered and that I'm comfortable with what's going on. I do not feel rushed and despite the fact that I was a total drama queen during my first appointment, he made me feel okay about it. Front reception staff are very personable and I like that music is playing throughout the entire clinic, including Dr. Ladell's treatment room. Parking on the west side of Chinook Mall, just outside of The Bay entrance, is really handy. 20/30 for Yelp's 30 Day Challenge

Review #19 of Yelp's 30 Day Challenge 2012…read more Dr. Judy is my savior when my back needs some tweaks. After having my vehicle crashed into two times (not my fault) in the past 10 years I suffer from the long lasting affects of whiplash/stiff upper back/neck. Dr. Judy has been my Chiropractor for the past couple of years. She also offers Chiropractic Rehabilitative treatment to animals. It fascinates me and always makes me chuckle while I am sitting waiting for my appointment and a dog gets called in before me. This office further takes a holistic approach by offering massage (of which we've partaken in) as well as acupuncture (still to partake in). The staff are a friendly bunch & quite helpful. Highly recommend Dr. Judy & staff.

Both were great, but Dr. Don and his team are better by far! The reception staff are always friendly and helpful. I have never had any issues scheduling or cancelling an appointment. I think Chiropractical goes over an above the call of duty for their patients. They have regular health information sessions. They use technology to assess your body in order to assess what the best care plan would be. (This was completely new to me!) I really get a sense that they genuinely care about their patients. I am very happy that I was referred to Dr. Don.

Unlike the past chiropractors, Dr. Sheppard invests time with each patient and really works with each person to help them reach their goals. We both leave feeling better than we did when we walked in the door, and we are pleased with our progress. The office also provides massage therapy as well as acupuncture, so all of your needs in regards to back pain can be met all in the same place. If you're looking for a new chiropractor, Thrive Health Centers is worth a try.

I started seeing Dr Kanji two weeks ago when I noticed the tension in my neck and shoulders was…read morebecoming quite persistent. I had never seen a Chiropractor before but a colleague of mine recommended him and I thought It wouldn't hurt to just check it out. I was pleasantly surprised with the whole experience. Dr. Kanji was very professional and started the appointment with an information session about Chiropractics and what his plan of attack would be. He did a scan of the nerves in my back and took X-rays so he could assess any underlying issues. Dr. Kanji also sets up an information appointment to go over all of the x-ray results in detail. He went over everything in my file and we looked at the x-rays together, which was really refreshing. I've been in for about 4 adjustments and I cannot believe the changes I've noticed. The tension in my neck and shoulders has reduced significantly and I'm also sleeping better at night. The office is extremely cozy and relaxing and I'm always greeted by name when I come in. There are also payment plan options available if you only have limited coverage through your benefits. Overall, I'm extremely happy with the services provided at ascension and will continue to go to back. Walk-ins are also welcome!

When I first saw Dr. Farshad Kanji, I did not suffer from serious neck or back pain. I had never…read morebeen to a chiropractor and booked an appointment simply because I was curious and wanted to take advantage of my workplace health benefits in the pursuit of optimal health. I was impressed by the friendly, calming atmosphere, as well as the patience and knowledge of Dr. Kanji, who talked me through the personalized consultation. My flippancy soon dissipated as Dr. Kanji's evaluation procedures set off warning bells - confirmed by the x-ray that evening. I was diagnosed with stage 1 & 2 spinal subluxations and degeneration. Dr. Kanji pinpointed the root of longterm health issues I had come to accept such as chronic migrane and tension headaches and digestive problems. In only a few sessions, I began to feel the benefits of his care with better posture, less tension and no headaches! I recommend chiropractic care at Ascension Wellness Centre to anyone as a preventative wellness measure - especially if you have never had your spinal health evaluated. Subluxations influence organ system function and general health - including your immune system. Not all the exercise and healthy eating in the world can make you healthy if you do not have a healthy spine. I cannot thank Dr. Farshad Kanji enough, as I'm now empowered to take control of my health, reverse my spinal damage and possibly prevent future disease and health complications. Do your body good and visit Ascension! Not all chiropractic doctors are equal - this one is the best!

We landed in Calgary and very luckily I was able to snag an appointment with Dr. Hoover the very next day.

He also provided me with exercises to continue the treatment at home. I felt much better after my session and continued to improve in the days after. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Hoover. He really knows his stuff and offers treatment in a kind and very knowledgeable way.
