My husband and I had been going to different chiropractors for the last 7 years. It had always been a “hit and miss”, chiropractors tried to guess what to adjust, too many adjustments caused inflammation which practically disable me for the next 7 to 10 days.

Before I went to see Joe, my husband and I religiously had adjustments every 1 or 2 weeks at a local chiropractor. The adjustment started to give me pain and discomfort when I was heavily pregnant and 30+ weeks. I could no longer tolerate the twisting, the pressure, and all the things the chiropractor did in order to do the adjustment. When I had bad inflammation from the adjustment, the only “advice” given was “it is normal for the inflammation to happen” and to put an ice pack and to come back for another adjustment.

I was very concerned about my health, especially being pregnant, trying to get my body ready for the labour and trying to make sure that the baby will sit in the right position (eg: not posterior or in breach due to misalignment in the pelvis, etc).

I did a research about chiropractic and came across the Gonstead method. This is how I found Joe who is a fellow member of the Gonstead Chiropractic Society. We did not hesitate to see him although we have to travel 30 minutes to his clinic.

The adjustment he did was specifically targeted to the main problem/ cause of my discomfort. Most chiropractors out there will only do “compensation adjustment” and not solving the main issue. It is no longer a “hit and miss”. In fact, the service he delivers has always been “consistent”. I know that I will feel better after seeing him. The adjustments did not cause discomfort on my “big belly” which grows even bigger every week. I still went to see him at 38-39 weeks of my pregnancy. On the big day, I was in labour for only 1 hour and 40 minutes, 4 pushes and it is all done. The midwife was so surprise and told me that it was because the baby was in the right position.

Through the consultation process, my husband learnt that his spinal cord has been damaged due to incorrect techniques and adjustments performed by the previous chiropractors. We realise that not all chiropractors are the same. Some could cause damage to your body, which is irreversible. We only wish we see Joe earlier than later. After seeing Joe for about one and half month, my husband health has improved a lot. He breathes a lot better, less restriction in his movement, etc. Overall, it improves our lifestyle.

We also took our 33 months to see him. He was delivered via suction/ vacuum. The suction caused his head/ neck to misalign resulting to breathing problem. My son was not able to breath through his nose (he had to breath through his mouth instead). He had difficulty to sleep at night. It took 2 hours to put him to bed because he would be moving around, trying different position before he could fall asleep due to a blocked nose. After one session with Joe, he is now breathing through his nose. He sleeps much better and wakes up with more energy because of uninterrupted sleep. Joe has definitely made a big impact in improving our family’s health.

The clinic has a play-room for children filled with interactive toys, keeping your kids occupied while you wait for your appointment. We feel that the clinic and the staffs are very accommodating and very family oriented. We feel like home when we are at the Discover Chiropractic.

This Chiro has helped me immensley. I have been going to them for 10 years. It started with my ciatica (don't know how to spell it) that took a while but have not had any issues since. I go to them if my wrists hurt, back etc. I run to them instead of Doctors who prescribe medication.

Approximate cost: $55

They have been able to deal successfully with a number of back and shoulder problems I have experienced. I have also been able to see a practitioner without an appointment when necessary.
