SUCCESS STORIES

 At Active Health & Wellness Clinic we are proud to help our community live a more active, healthy and pain free life. We have successfully treated hundreds of patients and below you will find some of their testimonials.

 I am a woman 77 years of age, who has always considered herself to be quite “fit”. With the sudden onset of pain in my right hip joint, I made the decision to seek chiropractic treatment. 

My initial visit was positive, at which time many factors were analyzed. With each successive visit I felt improvement and it was not long before I was pain-free! I feel positive about chiropractic treatment and I am grateful to Dr. Starr for his expert care.

Dr. Starr brings to the mix what anyone should expect from a professional in his field; professionalism, ongoing education, training and a high level of competence. Dr. Starr uses state of the art diagnostics and treatment equipment. I have had chronic, nagging pains for years and Dr. Starr was able to alleviate all of the symptoms.

I can be a weekend warrior a couple times a year and if I over do it, Dr. Starr can come to the rescue.

On my first visit, not only did Dr. Starr quell my concerns of a more serious medical issue but he also navigated me through the reason for my pain by using a diagram and described what needed to happen.

After just one visit the pain in my neck subsided and the scar tissue started to move down my neck and disappear. Subsequent treatments with Dr. Starr have enabled me to be pain free and optimistic about preventing future injury.

My partner and I have found relief with the holistic, concerned and personalized approach to health care in the talented hands of Dr. Starr. This was the first time we have received real pain solutions that go beyond the management of symptoms.

Dr. Starr seeks to discover the origins of pain with a gentle manner and firm touch to help the body to its natural pain free state. Dr. Starr also encouraged us to take personal responsibility for our own well being through exercise, lifestyle and diet.

Having suffered a severe muscle strain in my shoulders, I followed my usual practice of using rest and an anti-inflammatory. The result was a week of sleep-deprived nights due to the aggravation of sleeping on my shoulder.

When I visited Dr. Starr he took the time to review my history and general health and to conduct a thorough assessment of my condition. After 3 sessions the pain had reduced sufficiently. He also provided me the exercises that I could do at home to help strengthen the weakened area. Dr. Starr is a true healer. He skillfully determined the cause of my pain and treated it effectively and compassionately.

Last December when the snow was flying , I really put a strain on my back by shoveling so much of the stuff. My visit to Dr. Karyn Lumsden brought instant relief, and made me realize just how skilled she is.

Her treatments are extensive and complete. The Active Release and electrical stimulation add a deeper dimension to her practice, and the time she took to explain what I needed to do to maintain myself rounded out the experience.

Ever since I can remember, I have suffered from lower back pain which had increased to the point where the impact of my feet hitting the pavement drove spasms across my lower back and hips.

I was very impressed by Dr. Starr’s caring and compassionate manner. Dr. Starr took a deep interest in what was causing the problems and literally worked from my feet up. I can now boast that I am pain free!

~ Pam

The moment I walked into Dr. Starr’s office I was impressed by how differently I was treated. His analysis was thorough and he was very good at explaining what he needed to do, why and how long he felt the treatments were necessary. I had suffered lower back pain for years and not only did Dr. Starr work to break down the scar tissue, but he also gave me the specific exercises to make sure the pain did not return. I can now look forward to enjoying a pain free day, every day!

After sitting in my chair for a couple hours, I reached for my water bottle and knew something was wrong with my lower back.

Dr. Starr showed me exactly what had happened to my back through the use of diagrams and a replica of the spinal cord. Once I was on the table with electrical stimulation pulsating, heat and movement, the spasms began to release. The following morning the intense pain only felt like a slight bruise and by Monday I was back to normal.

~ Carollyne

I have been going to Kristy for the past couple months for treatment on my knee that has bee problematic for years.

Kristy assured me that she could alleviate the problem and we began acupuncture sessions right away. Since starting these sessions my knee has responded extremely well and I can once again move around pain free.  

~ Spence

I am not sure where to start but a huge THANK YOU seems to be the best place. I am no longer in pain nor do I have the tight feeling in my muscles. I am so happy that I came to see Dr. Starr. He certainly fixed me to the point that what I thought was normal was not. I can now stand on both feet and feel balanced. I have been telling people that Dr. Starr does more than just adjust, he gets down to the root of the problem and fixes it. Dr. Starr is truly a talented chiropractor.
