Reviews

Read what some of our clients had to say

Rated 4.8 out of 5 across 177 Google reviews — here are three of them.

“…I twisted my ankle and went to the hospital to get treatment. 3 months into treatment with the hospital and there were no changes… However, an acquaintance told me about this center and I started doing weekly sessions with Don. After our first session I could already feel an improvement and that's what sold me. Don was so knowledgeable about the body and was very patient when explaining why I was having not only ankle problems, but knee, shoulder and lower back issues. I spent the next 6 months with Don rehabilitating my whole body! He took his time to explain his plan for how we were going to get my body back to a healthy place.”

“I couldn't recommend the Create Wellness Center more, their services have significantly enhanced the quality of my life… There were days when I was crying out of pain - my neck was stiff, my right arm was hurting even at night, and my fingers were going numb… I visited countless doctors, physiotherapists, and even an osteopath but nothing was helping… Everything changed when I met the amazing team of magicians at Create Wellness… After my weekly appointments with them, I feel so much better. They are the highest level specialists, with huge knowledge and skills, not only fixing the problems but also explaining the issues and guiding with the right exercises.”

“Went here after googling for chiropractors near me. The provider listened to me, asked questions, and offered his recommendations. He at no point suggested I needed to do long term therapy. He pointed what he thought was the issue and made some adjustments. He gave me exercises to do at home.

Thank you for being so patient with me and listening to me and not jumping to conclusions without getting the full picture. Three days later after following his directions I’m feeling much better, not 100% but on the road to recovery. I’m looking forward to my follow up today. I will keep people posted.”
