Have you asked your family doctor for a referral to a physical therapist, or sought one out yourself?
Because a lot of chiropracty is just woo. The basis of chiropracty is something called "innate intelligence" which comes down from God, enters your brain, and then flows out through your spinal cord and nerves. There are no germs, according to chiro - flu, colds, measles, smallpox, HIV/AIDS, they are all caused by kinks in your nerves cause that innate intelligence stuff to block and not flow properly. Cancers are cause by that, too, as are allergies, PMS, stomach aches, mental issues, and every ailment not caused by an injury. Oh, and the thing which chiropractors call a "sublixation" (which is different than the medical use of the term) has never been shown to actually exist.

Bruce Street Chiropractic has been amazing for me this far. they take XRays of your spine at your initial intake and show you how to read them.

Have had amazing success with Dr. Ken at Enhanced Wellness ([http://www.enhancedwellness.ca/](http://www.enhancedwellness.ca/)). He does not subscribe to crack and repeat - he measures / images to see the issue, develops a treatment plan, and has a goal of getting you off treatment.

What was up with the spinal garage? I was thinking of going there?
Had lower back issues and got recommended to Dietrich Natural Health Centre. Best thing I ever did for my back. Not sure if they're taking on new patients but worth your time if you're looking for help with your back. Website: http://www.dietrich.ca/

How did they scam you? I have been going to Dr. Adam Brookes at Bruce Family Chiropractic for a couple years now. They do a proper assessment (xrays, spinal scans) and put together a plan (with a payment schedule) to get you back to optimal health. For me, that included 3x a week adjustments at first, tapering to two, then one, then to maintenance mode with an adjustment every other week. Every 6 months we do scans to track progress. It's really amazing to see the curvature of your spine change over time! I sought his help for a bad rotator cuff that many massage therapists and physiotherapists weren't able to fix. Turns out pressure on certain nerves in my spine were the source of the issue and my shoulder was back in action in no time. A happy accident that came out of regular treatment was losing the migraines I had been suffering from for years too!

I see Dr Frickey and she’s amazing! I’ve been having pain in my fingers for a long time and she pinpointed that it was actually from my shoulder. A few sessions later and the pain is gone! She’s never been pushy, she’s been really upfront about all my options and has always made sure I’ve been comfortable. I didn’t find that Physiotherapy helped beyond getting me back to a functional level. I wanted to go back to my old activities and Dr Frickey has helped me do that.
I'm looking for a Chiropractor in Elora/Fergus. Who would you recommend?

We go to Dr. Shaun Demeris - Carriage square chiropractic in Milton. My oldest is 10 now and has been going to Dr. Shaun since he was 2 years old. My other two kids age 3 and 6 months are also seeing Dr. Shaun. We live in Doon South and it takes us about 35-40 minutes door to door. They are open on Saturdays and we usually schedule in a visit to the Milton Farmers market and make a day trip out of it.

I used to go to [Dr. Craig Bauman](http://www.chirobauman.ca/) while I was on campus. He works a lot with muscles as well as bones so if it's your muscles causing the pain then he'll be able to help you with that. He's by Charles St. Terminal.

Not trying to hijack thread but while were on this topic, are chiro visitors covered by the uni health plan?

Jennifer Moore at Beechwood Chiropractic. Has student rates, doesn't do the whole 'you need to come weekly' nonsense, uses mutiple adjustment techniques based on personal preference. Closer to Erb and Fisherhallman, 2 minutes from university.

I go see Dr. Martin at Martin Chiropractic (Albert@Caroline). Nice and close to school and fantastic at what he does. He uses a pen instrument instead of manually adjusting so keep that in mind. http://www.waterloochiropractor.ca
