Client's Testimonials
After receiving successful Chiro treatments from OHP in the past and observing first hand their professional clinic and all they have to offer...I refer all of my clients with health issues to OHP after selling them their new mattress.I recently received some bad news from a doctor after experiencing shoulder pain, arm cramping, arm pain, tingling fingers and my hand falling asleep...I was diagnosed with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, the symptoms continued over a three week period of time about every 5-10 minutes or if I lifted my arm and I was frustrated and nervous after learning that surgery was recommended by the doc and after reading up on this syndrome. The prognosis was not good!
I decided to follow my own advice and went to OHP to see if anything could be done? They were very optimistic that they could repair me without surgery!
I went for approx.8 visits and then decided to rest it for a week and voila...it's gone! I was so worried this affliction would hamper my lifestyle for the rest of my life and for what I was going through...it seems like a miracle?! I will recommend OHP to anyone I encounter with a health issue!
One last thing....due to my work schedule, I had to visit 3 different Chiropractors and it is amazing how in sync they are with the treatment of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome! It's like I went to the same doc each time.
OHP gave me my quality of life back!!!!

Life as a ballet dancer is a life lived in constant motion, on pointe, which means a life full of overused muscles, strains, sprains, locked ankles and other injuries (and miraculous healing times) that surprise even the most seasoned practitioner! With this glorious lifestyle, means regular visits to a chiropractor, physiotherapist and massage therapist...enter Okanagan Health and Performance!
What I love about Okanagan Health and Performance is the commitment to excellence and their willingness to work with each individual patient on a personal level. Every practitioner takes the time to get to know you and genuinely cares about finding the cause of what brought you in. The practitioners work together, often recommending each other’s services, to enable a patient to have optimum recovery. I have found it incredibly helpful to be able to see more than one practitioner. For me it has meant alternative solutions to injuries/body issues and a greater capacity for healing.
No matter who I see, I know that I am receiving high quality care and professionalism as well as being able to interact personably and positively.
Thank you OHP fore being there no matter what my dancing life brings me in for :)

I am thrilled and relieved. My baby was born with torticollis and a mis-shapen head. We were on a waiting list to go to see a specialist in Vancouver and were expecting to start using a helmet. We decided to see if chiropractic care could help. At 9 months, our baby started chiropractic care utilizing cranial therapy. Only 5 treatments resulted in significant, permanent changes. My baby's eyes are now level, his ear heights are more symmetrical, and the prominent bump on the back of his head is virtually gone. Thank you OHP.

Chiropractic care throughout pregnancy was my saving grace. My back and hip pain was relieved instantly with adjustments, and I felt that I was more relaxed and my pelvis more open for a better birth.

For several mornings I woke up with a very sore jaw and found it painful eating my breakfast. Then it became worse. My jaw hurt every time I tried to eat anything. I couldn’t even bite down on a cracker without severe pain. When I went to my Dentist, he suggested that it was a TMJ problem and I should seek the help of a Dental Specialist. I called to make an appt and found I couldn’t get in for almost 3 months. After getting no relief from pain pills and frustrated with a long wait time to get some help, I went to see Dr Donna. I am still amazed at how quickly my jaw got better. What she did required no surgery, no medication and no expensive Specialist bills.....and as of a few weeks ago, my jaw is completely back to normal. Unbelievable. Your are the greatest, Donna !!! Thanks so much.

During the last 2 months of my pregnancy, I was having problems standing for long periods of time, let alone walking. My back ached and I never slept through the nite. My awesome midwife Barbara Barta suggested I go and see "Donna the Chiropractor". I went frequently; as a matter of fact every 2 days near the end. Each time I went I left feeling like myself again. I slept through the nite & I truly believe that is the reason I had an early, easy labour and delivery & went back into shape again so quickly. I would recommend this for anyone who just needs a little "pick me up" it's not easy carrying around all that extra weight & they know just what you need. Thanks for everything Donna & crew.

Dr. Donna to the Rescue! For years I had struggled with a sore hip. I damaged it while cycling and I just couldn't seem to get it to heal properly. I would rest it for weeks at a time, but when I went back to training, that leg would remain weak and the hip would cause me no end of chronic pain. As a fitness instructor and Martial Artist, I found this extremely frustrating! I repeatedly tried physio and massage. They helped to temporarily relieve the pain, but the strength in the leg never improved. As soon as I went back to training, the pain came back. Then I met Dr. Donna. She encouraged me to let her have a look at me. I was reluctant. After all, I thought chiropractors were only interested in the bones and their alignment. I had no idea that she would be so knowledgeable about the function of the muscles and what was going on in that department! Well I am so glad I went to her! I saw immediate improvement in the strength of my leg! For an exercise fanatic like me, that was very important! I was able to train throughout the treatment, which was short and effective. Now my hip is relatively pain-free and I am back to instructing and training. I am secure in the knowledge that I can return to Dr. Donna for a "Tune-up" at any time. What a wonderful way to start 2003! Thank you Dr. Donna.

For more years than I can remember I have suffered with a sciatic problem. It had become almost impossible to sleep through the night without pain in my left leg waking me up. All measures of relief failed until I got up and began my day. When getting into my car I had to literally position a hand under my left thigh to lift my leg into the vehicle. While skiing I always tried to ride on the left side of the chair lift in order to quickly get the right foot in place and then lift the leg in with my hand. At times I walked with a noticeable limp and no matter how slow a pace my walking group set, I always brought up the rear. A friend, who had experienced success with OHP's method of chiropractic medicine, suggested that I visit Okanagan Health and Performance and discuss the probability of relief for my sciatic problem. An initial exam was conducted and treatment started during that first visit. After the initial treatment, I slept through the night and have had no reoccurring leg pain interrupting my sleep. With each treatment my leg has become stronger and continues to do so. I can now lift my leg on it's own into the car. I am no longer the last one to finish a walk but can in fact keep up with the pace set by the group. Leg strength in my left leg has increased dramatically and continues to do so with each treatment. I have found relief after close to 20 years of suffering!

I visited a MD several times for severe pain in my upper back that ran from there around to my ribs on the front. I was told I had a pulled muscle and would have to live with it. A friend suggested I see her chiropractor and by then I was willing to try anyone-almost from the first visit the improvement was amazing and after a few treatments I feel a complete recovery-amazing. ...the improvement was incredible! After a few treatments I felt complete recovery...a new me. AMAZING!.

The day I came in my back was hurting really bad. After only one treatment with ART the constant pain was gone. That has never happened to me before after years of going to the Chiropractor. ...ART For an exercise fanatic like me, that was very important! I was able to train throughout the treatment, which was short and effective. Now my hip is relatively pain-free and I am back to instructing and training.

After one session, my shoulder felt a hundred times better. The pain had been greatly reduced and my mobility was unbelievable. After a few more sessions, my shoulder was back to normal and I returned to training pain-free.

Active Release has helped me to maintain optimum health and muscle fitness, and is an essential part of my training. I am now on my way to the 2002 Olympics. I will never train through pain again, not when an Active Release treatment is just a phone call away!.

Active Release has been a key component in my treatment and training. Active Release has helped me to feel better and to be able to give 100% in my training. In a sport where 100ths of a second could make a difference between first and second, being able to train and race at my full potential is very important to me.

My baby was born with torticollis--he simply couldn't turn his head to the left. Chiropractic care completely restored his neck motion, enabling proper feeding, sleeping and function.

My baby's constant crying and sleepless nights simply stopped...Chiropractic has benefited our entire family.
