Bloor-Avenue Testimonials
I came to Bloor-Avenue Chiropractic out of desperation after suffering from persistent and severe headaches. My headaches had become so debilitating that I would often have to leave work and the pain was so extreme that it would bring me to tears. After receiving treatments from Dr. O'Hara, I can confidently say that I am headache-free. The results have truly been life-changing and I have never felt better. Dr. O'Hara has been exceptional throughout this process. She is extremely patient, helpful, caring, knowledgable, and dedicated to the well-being of her patients. I am incredibly grateful to Dr. O'Hara and the friendly staff and would unquestionably recommend Bloor-Avenue Chiropractic to others.

I was diagnosed with arthritis in my left knee and could not bend it fully or straighten it out. Walking became so painful that I was practically immobile. Although I had been a chiropractic patient years before, I had stopped going. But when the pain became unbearable, I sought out chiropractic care once again. I underwent treatment for several weeks with Dr. O’Hara, and the change was miraculous! Every step I now take is without pain and I can once again do things with my kids. I am so grateful to have my mobility and my life back!

I was suffering from pain in my lower back, right leg, right side of my neck and upper back. I suffered from headaches, had dizzy spells and couldn’t sleep. All of this made my blood pressure rise. I tried pain relievers and consulted with my family doctor who thought it might be stress but didn’t offer a solution. My friends referred me to Bloor-Avenue Chiropractic and I began treatments with Dr. Nissen. My condition improved within 12 visits. I’m no longer having headaches or dizzy spells, my back isn’t hurting anymore and my blood pressure is back to normal. Now I see Dr. Nissen regularly because the treatments make me feel amazing. I have better concentration at work and I’m feeling all around healthy again.

I have had the good fortune to be in Dr. Jacobson's care since March due to a diagnosis of fatty liver from my gastroenterologist. Meeting with Dr. Jacobson was immediately encouraging. After she asked me in detail about my eating habits, exercise routine, medication regime and stress levels, she wrote a list of recommendations by the time of my next appointment. The recommendations were comprehensive and created specifically to help me with my health concerns. I was mortified to confess that lifestyle that had caused my fatty liver, but she was professional and non-judgemental.
I have heard from my friends that every naturopath tells you that you're allergic to wheat and dairy, but Dr. Jacobson didn't do that. She simply advised me that dairy tends to inflame and therefore should be avoided if I want to get over my plantar fascitis. There is no ego to deal with when stepping into her office. She doesn't just make suggestions; she tells me the reason for it. Under Dr. Jacobson's care, I've learned that health is something that can be re-claimed through concerted effort on my part. I am currently seeing her for acupuncture and it is out of this world. My clothes fit much more comfortably than they used to before because I'm in better shape. I have more energy, wake up refreshed and love my new life.

I came to Bloor-Avenue Chiropractic after my older brother, an RCMP constable was killed in the line of duty. The physical stress caused by the emotion and trauma of my brother's death was acute. I could not walk, sleep or stand still without feeling pain. I started a rigorous regime of care with my chiropractor. We had a frank understanding of my circumstances and worked to provide the relief I needed. Chiropractic helped me sleep better, move and exercise when I had the energy. It also allowed energy to flow where it was needed most - in my case, my heart and my head - in order for me to get through the trying days in the months and years following my brother's death. Chiropractic care, without exaggeration, saved my life. Thank you Bloor-Avenue Chiropractic. I am honoured to provide this testimonial.

Thank you, Dr. O’Hara, for your magical skills, your understated professionalism and the difference that you have made in my life. I came to see you because my left ankle was impeding my flexibility. I play golf and I like to walk the course when I do. Today, I am a different carcass! You treated my ankle by treating my spine and my flexibility is greater than it has been in fifteen years. My muscle tone has improved and in my mind I am clear that I’m doing the right things. Thank you to you and your practice: you are manna to me.

For many years I suffered from intense lower back pain, a result of playing rugby, waterskiing and riding a motorcycle. Exercises helped to keep the pain bearable. Orthopedic surgeons recommended a spinal fusion, but I didn’t think I was that badly damaged. Because my wife had great success with chiropractic treatments, I thought I might try it too. When I first met with Dr. Nissen, I was expecting an intense examination full of prodding and probing, but it’s not what materialized. I didn’t even need X-rays. After 8 week of treatments, I was persistently pain free. After suffering from chronic back pain for so long, I have the immense satisfaction of being able to move easily and freely again. I wish I had seen a chiropractor years ago!

Dr. O’Hara has been giving me chiropractic adjustments for the past 20 years. I first saw her for lower-back pain from an injury I had sustained in my teens. Her effective and gentle treatments corrected the problem and my pain eventually subsided. With ongoing appointments, I restored my balance and mobility. Now I see Dr. O’Hara on a regular basis as a matter of prevention. My body is strong and healthy, and when I experience any discomfort, I know who to turn to first.

My baby Madison had a difficult delivery. She had serious colic that made her cry constantly, and was sleeping two to three hours at a time. When I came with her to see Dr. Nissen, Madison was approximately 6 weeks old. Dr. Nissen explained exactly how she was going to treat Madison and was very delicate with her. She didn’t use any pressure; it was more like a baby massage, and Madison enjoyed the attention. I immediately saw a change in Madison. She was able to sleep for longer periods of time; she was calmer and cried less. Thank goodness, because this meant that I could get more rest too! Madison is now a well-adjusted baby. I would absolutely without any hesitation recommend Dr. Nissen for all children and adults.
