Patient Testimomials
I came to the Goldsworthy Wellness Centre about 18 mos. ago with constant headaches that plagued me everyday. I started receiving treatment from Kyle on a bi-weekly basis. It took about 3 treatments for me to really notice any significant difference. At first I even felt worse & sore everywhere he had worked. We talked about this and he explained this was o be expected because he was trying to change the way my muscles and body worked daily and they were kicking up a fuss because they were used to being one way for so long. But unfortunately for me, that way was probably resulting in my daily headaches.
Anyway, over the next 6 months my headaches became almost non-existent and my treatments were gradually spaced further and further apart to about every 4-5 weeks. I was very pleased with this result! In the early part of this year Kyle and I had a scheduling conflict, he was taking a course on the only night I could come in due to child care issues.
Anyway, I figured since my headaches were so far and few between, I'd not fret too much. So, knowing about the scheduling problem with Kyle I figured I'd try someone else. What is the big deal right? Wrong. The therapist I went to was OK, but didn't know why my muscles the way Kyle did. I decided to give it a couple tries but still no luck. I still felt worse.
Luckily by the end of all this Kyle's course was almost finished and I was finally able to get my appointment back. I've been headache free since.
Thanks Kyle and you're not allowed to take anymore courses!
Our son had a neck injury acquired from a difficult birth (vacuum assisted). At around eight weeks of age he began receiving chiropractic adjustments and physiotherapy to correct it.
When he had reached the six month mark, we started to notice that he was not meeting some of the development milestones we were seeing in other children and his eyes did not seem to be able to focus on stationary items. We contacted our Pediatrician and he referred us to an Ophthalmologist whom then referred us to a Pediatric Neurologist. The Doctor was able to determine that his eyes were healthy, he sent our son for a CT scan to rule out lesions or tumours of the brain. Thank goodness that was clear!
Looking for answers, we visited a Pediatric Ophthalmologist. He provided no conclusions and I had become frustrated about the lack of knowledge of my son's condition.
Still looking for answers, I talked to Dr. Jeff about my concerns. He immediately referred us to an upper cervical (neck) specialist and from there they referred us to a Pediatric Chiropractor.
After only seven weeks of care, we have seen him reach the milestones we had been waiting for -things he could not do weeks earlier.
My sincerest thanks Dr. Jeff for all your help and concern.
I was referred to Tara,(Acupuncturist ), by my sister who was very positive about her experience. I had tried acupuncture before with minimal results, but since I was told that it was really the only thing that could help relax my neck muscles after a C1/C2 fusion, I decided to try again. I was only able to see Tara for 7 treatments since we're moving overseas, but noticed differences- some immediate and some slower,deeper. I felt movement in my neck that I hadn't noticed before my surgery ( over 10 years ago!). The skin on my various scars became more responsive as well.
I really appreciated Tara's calm, attentive, responsive style. She really worked with me to find the best points to use. I also loved that acupuncture was able to treat large problems and the small, nagging things that you would never bother going to your MD about.
Another issue I had was edema and during a treatment I felt a shiver in my legs which I mentioned to Tara. She told me it was the water draining out of my legs. And the edema was much better. Tara also boosted my immune system- I've only had one cold since my treatment and when I began, I was sick every week.
I am so glad that I gave acupuncture another tryand gld I was referred to Tara. I can only hope to find someone half as good when we move!!
I had been suffering from left arm pain in my muscles and tendon for approximately 10 weeks. I was referred in to Goldsworthy Wellness to see one of their chiropractors by a friend of mine who assured me that I would get better.
He treated me with chiropractic adjustments, ultrasound and the muscle stimulator. I saw the chiropractor for just 3 weeks and I felt much better. My pain was relieved and my mobility increased greatly.
He also taught me how to exercise my arm properly to restore my normal strength and not hurt myself again.
Thank you for relieving this very bothersome problem for me.
In 1992 I tore the meniscus in my right knee which was quite painful and required surgery to repair. During the surgery the Doctors discovered that I also had Osteo Arthritis and recommended a knee brace to help alleviate some of the pain associated with this condition. At the same time I started to take Glucosamine Sulphate (as recommended by Dr. Jeff) which also helped with pain management in my knee and many other injured parts of my body due to the years of competitive sports.
Although the pain was manageable, my knee continued to hurt all of the time at varying degrees of intensity, my family Doctor prescribed Codeine and the after tearing the ACL ligament 3 years ago, I was prescribed slow release Morphine. To my surprise these drugs numbed my brain and many other bodily functions but my knee continued to cause me great pain. Desperate for relief (while I wait for yet another surgery) I turned to Dr. Jeff for advice. He recommended that for one month I take a combination of Inflavanoid and Kaprex. Inflavanoid is a natural form of a pain killer and Kaprex is a natural anti-inflammatory, explaining that it takes about four weeks for the Kaprex to get into your system.
For the first time since 1992, my knee is completely pain free and I have been able to resume many of my activities (with the aid of a knee brace for stability) with out pain! In my case the pain went away in three weeks and I would recommend this course of action to anyone who is experiencing pain or discomfort.
Kaprex and Inflavanoid allow me to go about my very busy life without the distraction of every day pain.
Thank you!
In April of 2002, I was involved in a car accident leaving me to deal with severe pain of my neck and back. A few years later, after repeated visits to my family Doctor and several pain prescriptions later, my Doctor finally ordered an MRI and referred me to Dr. Jeff.
Since the accident, I had on average been ill from a cold or flu every three weeks, felt constantly run down and had constant headaches and nausea. The severe pain I was suffering from also interrupted my sleep each night and driving was an issue because I had limited mobility in my neck. The most serious issue arose from the amount of pain medication I was taking, it started to affect my stomach. It became unbearable to live like this. That all changed when I started to see Dr. Jeff.
Since January of 2008, I can finally sleep through the night comfortably, I haven't taken a pill for pain, including Advil or Tylenol, I have not had one single headache and I finally have the energy to take my boys for walks and do fun family outings.
Thank you Dr. Jeff.
