From constant pain to living life fully again

I came to LifeWorks Family Chiropractic in severe pain and relied on a cane to walk. The team focused on my entire lifestyle, not just adjustments. Within nine months, I stopped prescription painkillers, no longer needed my cane, gained more energy, improved my limp, and lost over 100 lbs. Most importantly, I can now enjoy an active life with my children.

Feeling Like Myself Again

Before LifeWorks Family Chiropractic, I was always tired, dealing with headaches, pain, and relying on sleeping pills. In just a few months, my headaches were gone, my energy skyrocketed, and I finally felt like myself again.

From being in a wheelchair to using a walker to now just using a cane at times!!

…I was diagnosed with functional neurological disorder…. I was then bound to a wheelchair due to losing feelings in my legs……. I had been to a physiotherapist, but it wasn’t going as good as I hoped… At Life Works, I was welcomed with open arms, compassion, sensitivity, and a will to listen to my story. I believe that without Dr. James’s help, I would be nowhere near where I am today and that he did change my life…

I wish I lived here. I couldn't come all the time.

…I am from Dawson Creek; it takes about a 12-hour drive to reach Kelowna. ….I was following Dr. Bergman, and he said to find a chiropractor that does at least seven of the things that he does… … and you did all of them… The soreness has gone, and I’m really happy to see my neck going proper compared to what it was… …….. I’m really happy…

Better Bowel Function – Was Every 3 Weeks

Lifeworks Family Chiropractic comes here with Jody, one of our patients, miracle of the month… ……we had to record Jody’s monitor care here for maybe about four months or so… He’s been under what we call a corrective care plan… We just reviewed that Jody had interference in the nerves in his upper neck and his lower back,…. When Jody first came in and he lay down, his head was always up. He wouldn’t really relax, and his parents noticed that that had improved after a few weeks of adjustments. …He’s got way more concentration at the cash register, ninety percent less dizziness, and better hearing……Jody, before chiropractic, was going to the bathroom, having a bowel movement once every three weeks, and now every single day that’s cool…
Jody – Kelowna, BC

I should have come here a long time ago, but... it feels more normal

I had a problem there with the scoliosis, and that created a lot of other areas that were not functioning too well, so I was kind of trying to adjust my body because it’s really pulling me onto one side, and it created a tiredness and all… I’ve been coming here for a year… the first time, but I know that when I have any kind of adjustment or even a massage, my body reacts to it, and so sometimes I have to… the environment that Lifeworks has here is very much so, and everybody is extremely friendly, and I get the best service here. I go home with a smile on my face and a big hug from Dr. James… I’m a little bit older than I should be. I should have come here a long time ago, but… it feels more normal. I kind of feel very nice, and he kind of knows where to touch you, where to do the adjustment…

I recommend that everyone think chiropractic is awesome

Having burning feet… ..It was an awful feeling, incredible burning, and then I went to my family doctor. She was sent to a specialist, and all the testing at the end couldn’t find the problem and decided that Marianna was all in her head. Chiropractors, like all medical professionals, have their own speciality. Ours is interference in the nerves. I found interference in Mary. ……..the pain began to subside not even a month off; I could sleep through the night, and then it came once in a while, a little bit burning, but just for a half a minute, and it was fine … if I recall, it was after just the first few adjustments you mentioned that it started to get better …The other thing that was really neither came up was that Mariana was mentioned; she was having a pain and pressure in her chest in the morning ………. Now it’s all gone. That’s gone, yes ……. I recommend that everyone think chiropractic is awesome…

I can function; I have no more migraines

I have massive migraines and nerve damage…….. I’ve had, gosh, a lot of damage with my nerve. I couldn’t pick up stuff; I couldn’t hold things; I would have to take two or three naps throughout the day; I couldn’t sustain a full workday… from Lifeworks Family Chiropractics… … …I’ve been able to take the next step in my career and actually take a bit bigger position. I can function; I have no more migraines; I can move… I can breathe again, which is amazing…

"I'm wearing shoes again. I'm walking five kilometres a day. I can ride a bike now; it's just amazing

Stella had a car accident seven years ago… “I’d wake up three in the morning with a massive migraine just totally bedridden and also had the low back pain which meant that I could hardly get out of bed and…….just sharp shooting pain and as the years went on then it started to develop down in my toes that the toes wouldn’t bend anymore so I wasn’t able to walk or wear shoes or boots… …. I went to the parks, and you were doing a talk on wellness, and I went to the one-hour presentation. I did the testing with you, and it started treatment. We started chiropractic care two months ago and have already noticed improvements. ”I’m wearing shoes again. I’m walking five kilometres a day. I can ride a bike now; it’s just amazing. Santa’s doing all the healing; she’s healing because her nerves are working better.

In the chiropractic care, the first improvement that I saw was pain going away

“I started chiropractic; my lower back killed me, and I had trouble sleeping, driving…. I came to a chiropractor … …Before chiropractic, I tried stretching; I tried sleeping in different positions; I tried adjusting my seat differently, but nothing really seemed to work…. In the chiropractic care, the first improvement that I saw was pain going away. I felt my sleeping improved, which made me feel better; driving was a lot more comfortable for met…… I’ve had better bladder control. I’ve had fewer headaches, just the little things that I never really linked to chiropractic. So I would suggest testing it; I don’t think it’d hurt to try it out and see if it works for you or not.

Low back pain better after 50 years and no more cane!!

15 years of sleeping pills – not needed anymore!

“…3 weeks (of chiropractic care)…it’s been quite amazing. Things that have been going on for decades have changed…I’ve been on sleeping pills for at least 15 years and I have not taken one since the first or second time I came here. I had acid reflux…I have not taken anything since coming here. My energy level has been the most amazing thing.

Pain!! Who Likes It??

“I lived in pain 24 hours/day, 7 days a week! In my early 20’s I was a passenger in a car … where I had whiplash…I am now 50 yrs. old and I have seen doctors, pharmacists, chiropractors, message therapists, just about anyone that I thought would help. I came to see LifeWorks Chiropractic almost by chance…The personable, warm, family environment helped me from day one! My pain level was 8 out of 10, now it’s 2 out of 10 …(There is) lots of skepticism out there…but I believe miracles have happened here and it also took my participation in wanting to get well…my life has truly been changed!”

Worth Investing in My Health

The pain, numbness, and pins and needles in my arm were completely debilitating. Adjustments helped, but once I started the non-surgical spinal decompression program, the healing became exponential. Halfway through, the tingling was gone and my shoulder pain was dramatically reduced. Finishing the full program was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health.

Life-Changing Relief

The pain from my peripheral neuropathy was unbearable — I could barely walk, sleep, or live normally. After one month in the program at LifeWorks Family Chiropractic, my pain is reduced by about 70–80%. I can walk without pain, feel my feet again, and finally look forward to living my life. The long drive was absolutely worth it.

— Lynette, Cranbrook, BC

Back to Doing What I Love

Mornings used to start with severe groin and back pain, along with constant tingling in my feet. After laser therapy for neuropathy and chiropractic care for my back, the tingling is about 90% gone and my pain is nearly 80% better. I’m back to playing basketball and living without constantly worrying about pain.

— Alden, Kelowna, BC

Seeing Real Change

We came to LifeWorks Chiropractic for our son Liam, who was struggling with digestive issues, food allergies, and painful nighttime cramping. Within the first week, the cramping started to improve, and over the next eight months his reactions reduced dramatically. Chiropractic care helped his body heal naturally, and the change has been incredible.

Sleeping Through the Night Again

Nighttime pain and numbness from peripheral neuropathy had been ruining my sleep. After completing the Certified Peripheral Neuropathy Treatment program, sensation returned to my feet, the pain and numbness eased, and I finally sleep through the night again. I feel wonderful and can’t say enough good things about the team.
