Reviews of Clinique Chiropratique Westmount (Chiropractor)

Josh Perl

During the Covid-19 lockdown in April 2020, I fell and fractured my left ankle. Specifically, the left fibula close to the talus was fractured badly. It pushed the tibia bone medially and this made the ankle joint completely unstable. I had a plate and screws surgically attached to the fibula in order to be able to walk again. The recovery process was gruelling and took around 4 months of pain killers, crutches and a boot in order to function again. I was functional at a limited capacity at that time. I'm a lifelong athlete and knew this would only be a small bump in the road for me. I was used to being in pain as I suffer with severe spinal stenosis at c3/c4 of my neck for the last 8 years. This condition persists and causes me nerve pain all along the right side of my body. I have tried many therapists in the past to try and fix it but nothing worked...I gave in to my neurologist's MRI diagnosis. I've sort of accepted this disability of sorts since I was 24 years old. I'm 32 now. I never let this right side nerve pain from head to toe stop me. Through willpower and self development I competed in Men's Physique Bodybuilding competition at the Canadian Nationals in 2019. I continuously push through barriers in my sport and professional life. I refuse to be a victim of any injuries and/or health problems in my mind. That being said, it was the ankle fracture that brought me in Dr. Benhaim's office. During my recovery I reached out and Dr. Laura Benhaïm was very responsive to my questions. She looked at my X-rays and provided me actionable advice even before I became a client! Her adjustments were crucial to my recovery following ankle surgery. I was around 30-40% capacity with my movement when I first started chiropractic sessions with her. We'll it's safe to say she has brought me back to 100% in regards to my ankle... Now the main reason I feel compelled to write this review is that Dr. Benhaim is a perfectionist. I also don't want to insult her by calling her a workaholic but she really is. She is OBSESSED with her work. During our initial consultation my right side nerve symptoms became a topic of discussion during assessment. I didn't want to focus on that issue as I have suffered from it throughout my entire 20's. I came to the office for a fractured ankle at the end of day... Around 20 treatments later she has completely fixed my right side. My severe cervical spinal stenosis which has caused me constant nerve pain for 8 years is resolved. I do not have nerve pain. I live my life with that pain in my rearview mirror. I feel fantastic and I never even came for treatment for that in the first place. I had given up on it. Dr. Benhaim is great chiropractor and a true professional. She provides extra value and does her best to help her patients. She always goes the extra mile and knows there is no traffic on the extra mile. Highly recommend her!

(Translated) When competence rhymes with decency. Dr Benhaïm saved me from orthopedic meniscus surgery, which was deemed essential by consensus. Professionalism, honesty, a haven of gentleness. I recommend with conviction. (Original) Lorsque compétence rime avec décence. Dr Benhaïm m’a évité la chirurgie orthopédique du ménisque jugée incontournable par le consensus. Professionnalisme, honnêteté, un écrin de douceur. Je recommande avec conviction.

Dre Laura brings a unique blend of deep expertise, sensitivity and intuition to her practice. She has a no-nonsense approach that converted me from skeptic to believer. After years of living with chronic hip pain and seeking all kinds of manual therapies (massotherapy, acupuncture, osteopaphs, physiotherapy, physical training, etc) I finally experienced relief and improvement from Dre Benhaim's treatments. I now live pain free. I trust her with any injuries, and frequently refer my friends, family and clients.

(Translated) I admit that I was quite skeptical about going to see a chiropractor - I was one of those people who had negative opinions on the practice of chiropractic without even having experienced it. I walked into Dr. Laura's office skeptically and came out convinced from my first session. The pretzel position! It works, it does a lot of good for your back! But beyond the practice itself, I got to know Dr. Laura: She has this very unique way of making you feel comfortable on your first visit. She takes the time to explain what she is doing, to talk to you, and slowly, there is a bond of trust that takes hold. She has that HUMAN side that makes her a unique chiropractor! See you soon Dre! (Original) J’avoue que j’étais assez sceptique à l’idée d’aller rencontrer un chiropraticien - je faisais partie de ces personnes qui portaient un jugement négatif sur la pratique de la chiropratique sans même l’avoir experimenter. Je suis rentré sceptique dans le bureau de Dre Laura et j’en suis ressorti convaincu dès ma première séance. La position pretzel! Ça fonctionne, ça fait un grand bien à votre dos! Mais au delà de la pratique en elle même, j’ai fais la connaissance de Dre Laura: Elle à cette façon bien à elle de vous mettre à l’aise des votre première visite. Elle prend le temps de vous expliquer ce qu’elle fait, d’échanger avec vous et tranquillement pas vite il y a lien de confiance qui s’installe. Elle a ce côté HUMAIN qui fait d’elle une chiropraticienne unique! À très bientôt Dre!

On more than one occasion, I have received excellent treatment from Dre Benhaim. In one instance I sprained an ankle, and could barely walk. After meeting with her over the course of a couple of weeks my ankle improved dramatically, and soon after i was back to my old self. On the other occasion, I hurt my foot while playing badminton, and this time it took just one treatment from Dre Benhaim to fix my injury. Professional and knowledgeable, I strongly recommend the services provided by Dre Benhaim.

I was so scared of having my neck cracked and now I love it thanks to Dr. Benhaïm!

Dr. Laura is the only chiro I've ever trusted — I've been told in the past (by chiropractors) that it's not for me because I'm sensitive to pain. Dr. Laura told me at our first visit that I shouldn't experience any pain, and she was right. She is SO gentle, and so effective. After a hard pregnancy, I suffered from clogged ducts from breastfeeding as well as very bad hip pain — and she alleviated both completely. She has also helped me with back pain, my posture, neck pain and flexibility. Not only is she amazing professional, but she's simply an awesome person and I always look forward to our appointments. I only wish I had gone to see her sooner. I can't recommend her enough!!

Dre Benhaim treated my aching back a year ago. After a few visits, it felt back to normal. Since then, I've been seeing her more regularly for maintenance, and my back has not acted up.
