I've had a knee problem for the last few years after an unfortunate incident playing in a soccer…read moreleague. I had to take the remainder of the summer off and started seeing a physiotherapist about it. The physiotherapist diagnosed it and after about a year I saw minimal if any improvement and I wasn't sure if my injury was "healing" due to time or our treatment and decided against going back because I felt like I was wasting money and more importantly time. Fast forward to last fall and my friend told me he saw a new doctor who helped him get over some problems he was having and it went away in after some time. They also had the same problem I did with another physiotherapist and sports doctor in town. He warned me that the treatment he got was extremely painful but it did help him fully recover. I decided why not I'll give it a try. I made my first appointment and showed up to the office. The staff is super friendly and I had my assessment from Dr. Zollinger. We went over my medical history and gave me my first treatment of something called graston. This process can be VERY painful and I was unsure if I was going to go back to my next appointment. A funny thing happened though. I was able to run at a faster pace than I have been the last 2 years and the amount of pain I experienced after sports was a lot less than before. I decided I had to suck it up and continue on. 4 months later, Dr Zollinger has been able to work out the lump that was in my knee which was scar tissue and figure out all the other minor side effects due to not having it treated properly from the start. I'm currently in the strengthening phase in my knee now and in the last month I've only felt pain in my knee once which was due to me slipping funny and having my knee shift. I still ice my knee as precautionary measures after each game when I remember but the last 2 games I haven't and I didn't feel any problems the next day. I will do one more appointment with Dr Zollinger at which point my knee should be 95% better than it's been in the last 2 years. Thank you very much Dr Zollinger for all your help in letting me get back to my active lifestyle! I'd recommend him to anyone! He specializes in chiropractic services but has studied other things. The great thing is I never used a chiropractor so if you are covered by insurance it will come off that rather than physio if you need it.

I too first started going to Oaktree through purchase of a daily deal. They cannot properly adjust you without first analyzing your condition and setting out a specific plan for you. As such, in your first meeting all this information is gathered including posture analysis and x-rays.This is a very important step in determining you path to healing and correcting your spinal issues. Oaktree's chiropractic program is also very different from others; they specialize in readjusting the spine over a period of time to help it permanently regain it's proper shape. Many chiropractors focus more on adjusting you based on pain, however this is only a temporary fix, whereas Oak Tree's approach is a life changing commitment. If you are truly committed to a better quality of life and your health I truly recommend visiting OakTree. They are incredibly passionate, amazingly friendly and you will feel like a part of the family immediately. I have never had such a positive experience with any other health practitioner and cannot say enough about this place and their amazing team!

Have been going here for a month for Chiropractic care and I feel 100x better than before!…read more It all started at the Women's Show - Oaktree had a booth and offered free assessments with a discounted rate for your first two visits. I got my assessment and decided to visit the clinic (for lack of a better word - its not very clinic feeling) on Lisgar Ave. near Metcalfe. Let me start out by saying that Dr Emilie and her husband Martin are the sweetest people and run the clinic themselves with the help of a few other specialists. Dr Emilie is the Chiropractor and Martin is the Acupuncturist - they live in the house where the clinic is with their three kids which makes the clinic a very comfortable place to be (although they live upstairs and I've never seen their kids, haha) My first visit was for Xrays and a medical questionnaire to ensure that my treatment would be created and tailored to my specific needs. The second visit was a group setting to get an idea of what chiropractic care does for your body. I'm obvs not a specialist, but the premise is that your spine controls everything about you because it houses all of your nerves and such in your spinal cord. She then takes you individually to give you the results of your xrays and then presents you with the course of action she wants to take for your care. Usually 3x/week for the first few months, then 2x/week a month or two, then down to 1x/week for the next few months. You are able to get an assessment right away after she gives you your results during your second visit to kick off the treatment. (definitely do this!) After my assessment, xrays and the results of my xray, and my first alignment, I started my course of treatment given the freaky posture I had (that I really didn't think was so bad, but the back pain I had for the last year prompted me to get xrayed and holy guacamole does the xray ever speak for itself). EXCITING THING HAPPENED TO ME: After my FIRST treatment the back pain that I have been dealing with for the last year and a half was GONE! I obvs didn't think it would last, yes, I've gone to massage therapists and physiotherapists MANY times for the EXACT same issue, and it helped, but was never fixed. But it's been a month, I have been going regularly, I have yet to be in any kind of pain. I am so thrilled with the treatment I've gotten. I am still on my course of treatment and am loving it. The alignment room is right off of the reception and there are two waiting areas; one in the reception room for everyone (chiro and acupuncture clients (and whoever else is in the house)) and one just behind a frosted window from the chiro tables (2). There are always a few people waiting for their alignments, 4 chairs behind the frosted window and 2 people laying on the tables at a time (one being worked on and one relaxing before their alignment..The funniest thing I find about going, is the comments you hear from people getting aligned! I absolutely love it! Some people are quite vocal and obviously REALLY enjoy their adjustments (you will to, don't worry) I've heard funny things from "oh yeah, that's my favourite spot" to "oooohhhhhhh that felt goooood". Read some more below to and definitely check out the website to get more info on what and how they do it. More about the clinic and the doctors: Dr Emilie approaches her treatment with very thoughtful ideals - she can help with not only aligning your spine to reduce pain and tension in your back, but it can also help improve your immune system, it can take pressure off of your nerves which control your bladder even and many more things that I couldn't eve begin to relay given I was so impressed with the thought that chiropractic adjustments can help with bed wetting in kids, haha. She is licensed to treat everyone; men, women and children, from small babies to the elderly, pregnant and otherwise. She is not the only chiropractor in the office though - on Monday's and some sporadic days when Dr Emilie has training or seminars - Dr Vanessa takes care of the adjustments in the clinic. Dr Vanessa is just as wonderful as Dr Emilie and they really try to connect with their clients in the short time you're together. Chiropractic care has specific hours given all of the patients they sees, and the fact that Dr Emilie is inviting her clients into her home, so they will treat people for a few hours mid-late morning (I think 11-:12:30)and mid to late afternoon (3:30-5:30 ish) I'm assuming because most of their clients come from downtown - this lets them come in on their lunch hours and on their way home from work. They are very flexible with timings for appointments - if you're early or late just shoot them an email and they do their best to accommodate, and given that an adjustment only takes about 2 minutes this is easy for them to do!
