I came to see Dr.Ansel in October 2019 after suffering with terrible and debilitating back and sciatica pain for many years due to numerous car accidents.(No one seems to come out of Calgary without being in ALOT of car accidents!) I've been on strong medications for years, had lots of physio, tried many procedures, seen many doctors and at the time of coming to see Dr.Ansel I was scheduled to have my second epidural because I could barely walk a few steps, I felt hopeless. I have a small child and it's just not an option for me to not be active! Dr.Ansel not only treated my back but he treated my mind as well, helping me to understand how my body works and how traumas in my life have effected my body as well. Within a short amount of time working inside and out, I am now walking without assistance, I've dropped off of the heavy medications I thought I'd never be able to be without, I happily canceled my epidural apt, and my involvement in my family life has improved so much! My body isn't just better, but my relationships are healthier too! Also, I can't tell you how many times people I know stop me and ask me what has happened to me! Why am I moving so much better? What kind of surgery or procedure did I have, what did I do that I'm able to move like no one has ever known me to before?! I'm super grateful for all the work Dr.Ansel has done with me, it really has changed my life! Plus I'm able to pass along to my family the important things and structures that I've learned through this process and I've seen great changes in them. Body and mind health is the key to happiness and a true well rounded life. Sounds kinda cheesy but I'm walking proof that it's true and worth the work! I now look forward to the future, one where I'm active and a much happier participant! Thank you so much to both Dr.Ansel and his assistant Emma, from me and my whole family! If your suffering and your body is holding you back from living a happy, pain free and active life, I highly recommend you go to see them, you won't be sorry ~ I'm certainly very grateful and feeling better physically and with tools to keep myself on the right tract! read more
