Review from Julie R.

In the summer of 2008, I suffered from acute feet pain after playing beach volleyball for 8 hours straight. The pain was unbearable and the only shoes I could wear were runners and flip flops. I spoke to an MD with no ideas to a solution and after speaking with my Naturopath, she recommended seeing a chiropractor or get used to having chronic debilitating pain. I decided to see Dr. Jassal on the recommendation of a friend of mine.
I was able to see Dr. Jassal almost immediately for a consultation and without an x-ray Dr. Jassal did an adjustment on my ankles and hip that allowed me to walk. After the x-ray it was determined that if I continued with the posture that I was living with, I would be a hunch back and confined to a wheelchair in my old age due to the pinching of some vertebrae in my neck. That was causing all the discomfort in my feet and other areas of my 29 year old body. There I was, almost 30 and hitting bottom physically [and mentally, the two go hand in hand].
The recommended treatment was seeing Dr. Jassal 3x per week for adjustments with his little metal adjuster thingy for 3 months, then 2x per week for another 3 and then 1 then 1 a month. Not a lot of manual manipulation was necessary. After the 6-month follow-up x-ray you could see the difference. But that didn't compare to the physical and mental difference that I was aware of. I no longer suffered long bouts of depression, pain and suffering. It not only helped physically but mentally as well. It allowed me to make changes to my daily life, address events from my past and for my future and enabled me to become physically active again in volleyball and running. I used to loath running.
Sure all the appointments added up financially, even beyond the extended medical that I received, but your wellness and health is worth it. -

I never thought I would end up at a chiropractor's office. As it happens, I was on Main Street back in August for Car Free day and ran across a friend who was working for the clinic (she's no longer there, so this review is not biased). I was offered a free posture check by Dr. Jassal. I said sure, why not. Well, it turns out my posture was not good. In fact it was pretty bad. I never really knew and just lived with it, assuming that was the norm. I have always had troubles with my knees, suffered from migraines, and eczema, and mid back pain, which I thought was the result of a an old car accident and would never go away. I was offered the opportunity to donate $20 to the food bank and get a free consultation at the office. I decided why not, again, it was a good cause.
At my consultation I again had my posture checked with the same results as when I met Dr. Jassal on the street. We went over the myriad of irks and problems I had been having health-wise, which I had by this point passed off as things I would just live with and have to deal with for the rest of my life. Dr. Jassal thought otherwise, and I was sent off for x-rays. The x-rays were what really shocked me into accepting chiropractic care. I nearly cried. I never had any idea how out of alignment my spine was. It was shocking to say the least.
I have now been steadily seeing Dr. Jassal since late August. I had comparative x-rays last month and was able to see a huge difference in my spine. My knees feel better, we are working on the migraines and eczema problems, and my mid back discomfort has greatly decreased.
Dr. Jassal uses an instrument called an integrator to do the adjustments. Appointments are very quick, and at first I thought that the adjustments weren't doing a thing, because they didn't feel like much. That wasn't the case. You don't need to have your back wrenched and popped this way and that to receive good chiropractic care. This new method, Torque Release Technique is so much less invasive.
So that's my personal story... But why do I like this clinic? It's small, friendly and clean. The lovely receptionists know you by name when you come in. They are happy to help any way they can. I am always seen very quickly when I come in for my appointment. Dr. Jassal seems to genuinely care about making me healthier and happier. If something has been giving me grief lately (like my hip flexor last week, or a recent migraine, etc.) he'll focus on trying to relieve that stress from my body, as well as continuing with my regular care. Questions are taken seriously and simple and clear answers are given so that I understand what is going on. Progress evaluations are done on a regular basis to make sure that all is going well, and they give me peace of mind so that I know the treatment is really working.
Bonus - they now do x-rays in house, which are digital! No more going to Chinatown to get x-rays then bringing them back to the clinic. -

I was always hesitant to go see a chiropractor. I grew up with a misconception that chiropractors just cracked your neck and back. The thought of allowing someone to twist and pull on my spine like that was unsettling.
But my views about chiropractic have been enlightened thanks to Dr. Jassal!
The purpose of Chiropractic care is to ensure your nervous system is functioning optimally. It's not about cracked your spine and joints.
Dr. Jassal uses an amazingly non-invasive technique that helps to clear any blockages in the nervous system and allows the body to heal itself naturally.
I have a rupture ACL which I am determined to heal without the use of surgery. Dr. Jassal shares my enthusiasm for natural healing. I'm happy to say that with proper nutrition and Dr. Jassal's help, I have managed to stump the orthopedic surgeon! He was extremely surprised to see that I am able to run and balance without pain or weakness in my knee.
I am not fully recovered yet, but I am confident that with Dr. Jassal's help I will return to full health in less time than it would take to recover from surgery. -

I was always so skeptical about chiropractic care and didn't understand why anyone wanted their necks and backs cracked. I didn't like the idea of someone doing that to me until I was introduced to Dr. Jassal. He uses a technique that is so gentle and different from the "typical" chiropractic technique.
I was at my wits end with doctors and was told I would never be able to conceive naturally, hadn't had a period since Jan 2011, and was told (at 25!!) to go on hormone replacement therapy. I also suffered from chronic back pain from a car accident in 2007. After one month of care with Dr. Jassal my estrogen levels went from 80 to 266 and my back pain has almost disappeared!
Bonus results were improved sleep, digestion, moods and WAY better energy levels. My iron levels are FINALLY normal and "healthy" and I don't feel like a walking zombie anymore!
Throw out all those misconceptions about chiropractic care and go get adjusted, you'll be glad you did!
