Dr. Donna to the Rescue!

For years I had struggled with a sore hip. I damaged it while cycling and I just couldn't seem to get it to heal properly. I would rest it for weeks at a time, but when I went back to training, that leg would remain weak and the hip would cause me no end of chronic pain. As a fitness instructor and Martial Artist, I found this extremely frustrating! I repeatedly tried physio and massage. They helped to temporarily relieve the pain, but the strength in the leg never improved. As soon as I went back to training, the pain came back. Then I met Dr. Donna. She encouraged me to let her have a look at me. I was reluctant. After all, I thought chiropractors were only interested in the bones and their alignment. I had no idea that she would be so knowledgeable about the function of the muscles and what was going on in that department! Well I am so glad I went to her! I saw immediate improvement in the strength of my leg! For an exercise fanatic like me, that was very important! I was able to train throughout the treatment, which was short and effective. Now my hip is relatively pain-free and I am back to instructing and training. I am secure in the knowledge that I can return to Dr. Donna for a "Tune-up" at any time. What a wonderful way to start 2003! Thank you Dr. Donna.

For more years than I can remember I have suffered with a sciatic problem. It had become almost impossible to sleep through the night without pain in my left leg waking me up. All measures of relief failed until I got up and began my day. When getting into my car I had to literally position a hand under my left thigh to lift my leg into the vehicle. While skiing I always tried to ride on the left side of the chair lift in order to quickly get the right foot in place and then lift the leg in with my hand. At times I walked with a noticeable limp and no matter how slow a pace my walking group set, I always brought up the rear. A friend, who had experienced success with OHP's method of chiropractic medicine, suggested that I visit Okanagan Health and Performance and discuss the probability of relief for my sciatic problem. An initial exam was conducted and treatment started during that first visit. After the initial treatment, I slept through the night and have had no reoccurring leg pain interrupting my sleep. With each treatment my leg has become stronger and continues to do so. I can now lift my leg on it's own into the car. I am no longer the last one to finish a walk but can in fact keep up with the pace set by the group. Leg strength in my left leg has increased dramatically and continues to do so with each treatment. I have found relief after close to 20 years of suffering! Lynne Deacon

I visited a MD several times for severe pain in my upper back that ran from there around to my ribs on the front. I was told I had a pulled muscle and would have to live with it. A friend suggested I see her chiropractor and by then I was willing to try anyone-almost from the first visit the improvement was amazing and after a few treatments I feel a complete recovery-amazing.

...the improvement was incredible! After a few treatments I felt complete recovery...a new me. AMAZING!.

The day I came in my back was hurting really bad. After only one treatment with ART the constant pain was gone. That has never happened to me before after years of going to the Chiropractor.

...ART For an exercise fanatic like me, that was very important! I was able to train throughout the treatment, which was short and effective. Now my hip is relatively pain-free and I am back to instructing and training.

After one session, my shoulder felt a hundred times better. The pain had been greatly reduced and my mobility was unbelievable. After a few more sessions, my shoulder was back to normal and I returned to training pain-free.

Active Release has helped me to maintain optimum health and muscle fitness, and is an essential part of my training. I am now on my way to the 2002 Olympics. I will never train through pain again, not when an Active Release treatment is just a phone call away!.

Active Release has been a key component in my treatment and training. Active Release has helped me to feel better and to be able to give 100% in my training. In a sport where 100ths of a second could make a difference between first and second, being able to train and race at my full potential is very important to me.

My baby was born with torticollis--he simply couldn't turn his head to the left. Chiropractic care completely restored his neck motion, enabling proper feeding, sleeping and function.

My baby's constant crying and sleepless nights simply stopped...Chiropractic has benefited our entire family.
