My Love Affair with Chiropractic

I first decided to give chiropractic care a try following a girlfriends’ persistent recommendation. I was in my second trimester of pregnancy and starting to experience “common” pregnancy discomforts, such as sacrum pain, backaches & pelvic discomfort. As many other uninformed individuals, I remained on the fence regarding whether or not I believed in the power of chiropractic. That’s when I met Dr. Stacey Farquhar at our pre-natal yoga class.

Within one week, I was in her clinic and soon found out that my symptoms were not at all new ailments but rather subluxations manifesting from many years of built up traumas & imbalances. I made an immediate commitment to work with Dr. Stacey on regaining balance in my mind, body and spirit. Although permanent physical results were not obvious until my third or fourth week of treatment, the emotional benefits were evident immediately. I could not relate to many women’s testimonials of raging pregnancy hormones, mood swings and hyper-emotional states of mind. Instead, I felt a calming confidence and stable disposition. As a crisis counsellor working with abused women it was important for me to remain stress-free and emotionally steady.

The weeks to follow only confirmed my new found love and appreciation for chiropractic care. The holistic approach to treatment, informed decision-making and genuine care of my provider really resonated with me as I felt like an equal participant in my wellness recovery. The physical and psychological benefits have been tremendous, particularly with the continuous use of The Webster Technique. I am confident that my chiropractic care will be a fundamental ingredient in the safe and speedy birth of my first child.

Today, I look forward to continuing my post-natal care and introducing my precious addition to the wonderful world of chiropractic.

My Third Pregnancy is my Most Comfortable Thanks to Chiropractic!

This is my third pregnancy in as many years and the only one in which I have had Chiropractic care. It is, without doubt, the best change I made in terms of care.

I am over 37 weeks pregnant and still able to wrestle with my toddler, sleep without zillions of pillows and have avoided the dreaded waddle.

However, when I walked into Hands on Health at 21 weeks pregnant, I was waddling, standing up was painful and sleeping wasn’t happening because of terrible pubic bone pain.

Dr. Matt approached my needs with care, sensitivity and a gentle touch. His positive outlook and gentle counsel helped both my physical discomforts and my general pregnancy anxiety. I am more physically comfortable now at the end of my pregnancy than I was at the half way mark.

The practice that Dr. Matt and Dr. Stacey have set up is family friendly. My 1.5 year old daughter is welcome to explore the grounds, keep me company or assist them as needed.

Thank you so much to the entire practice for the welcoming, family-centered care you have given me!

In addition to being practically pain free, I was able to, through chiropractic care and the creation of new lifestyle habits, lose weight, gain muscle tone,  increase my energy, get loose from the grip of sugar, greater body awareness, and rediscover sports…and stop the antidepressants!! I’ve also experienced a greatly reduced stress level. I have way more focus, the energy to play with my kids and expanded career opportunities. I’m not mindlessly and painfully sleep walking through life! I feel like I’ve been given a new lease on life! And I have everyone at Hands on Health to thank – so thanks guys!

With chiropractic care, I’ve experienced long lasting results and exceptional relief in my neck. I have an improved overall ability, outlook, and attitude due to pain relief. Hands on Health have also provided excellent recommendations on nutrition and maintenance at home that really work!

Since beginning chiropractic care, I’ve noticed improved flexibility. I tend to be in a better mood when lacking pain. Dr. Matt has always been pleasant and professional. The results have been excellent.

After a few adjustments, my knee pain disappeared in one knee and nearly disappeared in the other. I’ve also gained more information on health, exercise, and nutrition.

- Renee K.


My lower back pain is gone and any other back pain since disappears within a few days (maximum!) after an adjustment. In addition, I experience less colds and have gained new friends. I can also tell when my spine is subluxated much better than before.

I was very hesitant and skeptical in the beginning. But the pressure on the nerves in my neck has abated and I can carry on without much discomfort at all. I can be active again and not grumpy due to the chronic pain. Going to Hands on Health has been one of the best things I have done. I am a believer.

- Peter A.


I can feel my back again!! I’m much happier now. I have also noticed a change in my skin problems. I’ve enjoyed my care and Dr. Matt and Dr. Stacey are great doctors and now friends!

- Sonja


I was initially nervous about chiropractic treatment, as doctors deter you from it. Since beginning chiropractic care, however, I have no back pain, am able to participate in more activities, am much happier, and have an improved immune system and overall function. Dr. Stacey and Dr. Matt are very approachable and there’s a friendly/family atmosphere in the office.
