Reviews of UC Life Chiropractic Centre (Chiropractor)

UC Life Chiropractic Centre Dr. Matthew Kittleson Around the 13 of December 2015, I was in a car accident. My neck, back and shoulders were sore, then went to the hospital the Doctor said whiplash. I called Dr. Matthew Kittleson to see what he thought. He booked me in and since starting treatment I noticed 95 % of my leg pain was gone due to a previous accident and my neck is getting better from the car accident. Thank you for helping me on my journey to a pain free life.

Because I sit at a computer all day, I often suffer from headaches. Since seeing UC Life, my headaches are virtually nonexistent, while my treatments have gotten further and further apart. I would recommend UC Life to anyone that spends significant time in front of a computer and suffers from neck pain, headaches, or migraines because of it.

I highly recommend Dr. Kittleson and the entire team at UC Life. He is realistic with treatment strategy, makes it easy to understand the process and the objective. After a few months of meeting with him, my long-term pain is subsiding, and I am looking forward to continued progress and being pain-free. Thanks Doc!

I was recently was in a car accident and I contacted Dr.Kittleson to have my spine checked and corrected if needed. I was extremely impressed with the attention to detail that he did during the examination and x-ray taking and analysis. As for the adjustment....WOW!. I had left sided neck pain, right hip pain and middle back pain that was gone in the next day. I also could think clearer while at work today and I had a very restful sleep. Thank you Dr. Kittleson for your expert and gentle care and correction. I have practiced NUCCA for 16 years and I would highly recommended Dr. Kiittleson as a superb NUCCA doctor. When I arrived home in Nanaimo I spoke with Dr. Dwain Ingram about my experience. He was very happy and very excited since Dr. Kittleson has spent time with Dr. Ingram learning from his expertise in NUCCA. Dr. Ingram practiced NUCCA for 50 years and was the inspiration for the Upper Cervical Store in Campbell River. I am very impressed with Dr. Kittleson's drive to seek out experienced NUCCA doctors to connect with as he continues to advance his mastery of this technique. Thank you for helping me return to work safely. Respectfully, Dr. Shawn Thomas.

Dr Kittelson knows his stuff and I was looking forward to being treated by him. Unfortunately, he told me that he would only treat me if I agreed to prepay for 10 treatments. While I understand the importance of agreeing to a therapeutic process, this kept me from pursuing treatment here.

Both my partner Leigh Anne and I have received amazing results through Dr Matthew Kittleson, DC. medical care. He is an exceptional human, and is an expert in inflammatory/skeletal care. You should seriously consider seeing Dr Kittleson right away. It may be the best thing you ever do for yourself.

My back and neck pains of many years are gone, thanks to UC Life.

Dr Matty Kittleson is a very skilled Upper Cervical chiropractor. UC is a chiropractic method used for chronic conditions, and very effective for migraines, and ongoing back, leg, knee, foot pain, and so on. If you've had the same pains for years and haven't been able to find a solution, try Upper Cervical. Dr Matty is full of information and is very generous with it. He has the latest tools and skills, all designed to help his patients achieve optimum alignment and balance. He's constantly upgrading his training and information. Upper Cervical relieves so much long term pain.....I highly recommend it.

Matthew Kittleson has been my Chiropractor for several years and I have never had so much relief prior to going to him. I have been to many chiropractors over the years and had to keep going back every 2 weeks. I am now going every 6 weeks and it is to keep me in line not fix a problem. I highly recommend Matthew if you want to feel better. Thank You Matthew Allyson

I was having terrible headaches that weren't classified as migraines. The head ache would be there when I woke up and stay with me all day. It was exhausting! The doctor said they were classic tension head aches and that I needed to relax. Ironically life was less stressful at that point than it had been in many years. I changed some eating habits and it helped a bit, but I was still getting head aches at least 4 days a week. On top of it I was starting to have heart pains that the doctor said wasn't an issue. All tests came back "healthy as a horse” - but I felt like I was falling apart! Matty suggested I come in so that he could check if I was misaligned. I really liked his approach - "If it ain't broke, we won't break it". It turned out that when I stood up straight I actually tilted to one side quite visibly! I signed up for treatment and within the first two weeks I was sleeping better and my headaches had decreased. Now, about 8 weeks later my headaches are completely gone. I don't wake up with a stiff neck and my chest pains are gone. Thank you UC Life! I’ve been put back together again.

Two and a half years ago I injured my neck lifting too heavy of an object over my head. I was on disability for 6 months. I was told that my injury was partly early deterioration of the vertebrae in my neck and the lifting. Many “experts” in the medical field thought that it would probably not get any worse, but would not get better. I was devastated, I have always been a very healthy person. My life changed the day I came for an initial free consultation with Dr Ankur Tayal. You gave me hope that my body could heal itself with your assistance. Well it is healing as I feel better than I did Before my injury, when I thought I was doing pretty good. I highly recommend Dr Ankur Tayal at UC Life. At least go for a free consultation!

Dr. Matty is an absolute professional at what he does. I have had a chronic neck pain and migraines for awhile and for those of you that have had migraines, is not the most pleasant time. I started having sessions at UC Life Chiropractic Centre with Dr. Matty and he took the time to explain into details what the process is going to be. I am happy to report that after starting to work with Dr. Matty for about 4 months now, I haven't had any migraines. i guess whatever he's doing works. I highly recommend UC Life Chiropractic to anyone with neck issues or any form of chronic headaches. It worked for me and i'm certainly sure it will for you too.

The docs at UC life are among the best in the business. Their easy going and caring natures instantly put you at ease but it is their depth of knowledge and "big picture" understanding of health and it's causes that most impressed me. Give them a call for a checkup as you really don't need to wait until you are completely "broken" to get benefit from the care they offer.

I was initially given a lot of promises by Dr. Kittleson that he could address my neck and back issues - this being what he does for a living. He also said that my benefits would cover much or all of the $350 bill for his x-rays and initial consultation. As it turned out, despite having a great benefits plan, zero of the x-rays were covered and 2/3rds of the 1st visit was not either. That should have been my first real red flag. But I knew the subsequent visits would be mainly funded by my plan, so despite the initial costly set back (and the fact that the Dr showed zero remorse or any expression at all when I told him my benefits didn't cover the fees he said they would), I kept attending. I continued to experience no improvements whatsoever however. Instead I was regularly reassured that I wouldn't see results at first but that the adjustments would soon truly address my spine issue. After six sessions with either this type of feedback, or various long-winded explanations that never really answered my questions, he suddenly stated he could do nothing for me and even called himself a "one trick pony". And that was that. About the only valuable thing Matthew gave me was the suggestion to practice the "Foundation training" videos that are free on Youtube. (Even there, he at first said he had lots of such resources, but when I asked for more, he told me to do a Google search for back exercises). It's been almost 2 months since my last visit - I wanted to give more time to see if any latent improvements would happen. Sadly, there has been none in the slightest. On the scale of quackery to actual medicine, I'd put this practitioner's methods squarely in the first camp.

My toes were burning in the middle of the night and waking me up. I saw my GP, he ran tests and concluded it was my nervous system. I went to see Dr. Tayal, he adjusted me and now my toes are burn free!! Thank you Dr.Tayal!!

Hey. I am seeing Dr. Kittleson at UC Life. I have had pretty bad post concussion syndrome for 2 years now. With as little as 2 treatments I am already noticing a reduction in light sensitivity and sound sensitivity. Also it no longer feels like I am looking at the world crooked. My eyes seem to focus better and I can see a crisp outline around objects- it hasn't been this way in a long time. I had neck tightness on one side that felt like rocks piled up, after the first treatment this long term nagging tightness eased off, and the muscles feel more natural. My postural assessment before treatment revealed I was quite "off"- these inequalities in alignment also corrected themselves after the first treatment. It is nothing short of miraculous. I am looking forward to following through this course of treatment to the end to get all the benefits. I am deeply thankful for Dr. Kittleson. He really seems to care and know his stuff. This line of treatment is gentle to receive. I recommend you try this clinic out and see the world of difference it makes first hand!

This place literally saved my life. After spending thousands of dollars at different practitioners with zero results, I was out of chronic pain after my first adjustment at UC Chiro. It's not your typical snap, crackle, pop chiropractic practice and their approach is amazing. I still can't figure out how they work their magic! I will never stop going there for maintenance due to my physical job. The staff is so friendly and kind and Dr. Kittleson puts up with my really bad sense of humour. What more could I ask for! :)

Fiona Peters, R.Ac.

The doctors at UC Life are very professional, knowledgeable and enjoy working with people. I felt well taken care of and I am impressed how much it helped my whole body, alignment from the top down. My sacroiliac joint is much more balanced and stable. Local adjustments in this area (from other chiropractors) went from 8-12 a year to maybe 1-2 and this is after many long distant runs, on and off the road, through out the year. Thank you!!

This place changed my life! I had increasingly frequent and painful headaches for two years. By the time I went to UC Life they were every day. Some times they would last all day or just flick on and off throughout the day like a light. I couldn't sleep or exercise or play with my son or be intimate with my partner without pain. I was depressed and irritable, everything was over shadowed by nagging pain. I'd had my neck adjusted before by another chiropractor which didn't help. There is no twisting and snapping here. It is gentle, very specifically targeted and best of all effective. Dr. Kittleson took the time to go through my x-rays with me and make sure I understood what the problem was. I was blown away when I saw them. No wonder I had headaches! Both doctors are kind, patient, professional and dedicated to not just helping people but educating them about how they can continue to help themselves. I'm finally on the right track. I know it because I feel it. It's hard work but it's worth it. I never expected I could feel this much better and now I know I can feel better still!

As a tradesman my work can be tough on my body. As a young man with an eye on my future and no plans for kids I must be able to take care of myself as I grow older! Dr. Kittleson and the team at UC Life have been helping me maintain balance in my body and preventing minor aches and pains from becoming chronic injuries. Anybody who has spent time in a 2 foot crawl space knows how stiff and sore you can be after just an hour or two working in such a tight space. I'll need to be able to do that at age 40, 50 or even 60 and 70. Thank you Dr. Kittleson for your skill, knowledge and the work that you do!

If you haven't tried this non-invasive adjustment, you don't know what you're missing. I have had quantum healing of lower back and neck issues. I was referred by a friend who had three herniated discs and was "healed" within a few treatments. Check out NUCCA and get going...you won't regret it!

Bonnie Leard

Amazing!!! I have been using this kind of method for several years. I am so impressed with Dr. Kittleson He is so knowledgeable and makes you feel at ease. I feel like a million dollars when I leave there

Ekaterina Karassev

I have a 10-year old who had headaches as often as every other day. After a few sessions they were gone, it has been a year headache free. Thank you Dr.Kittleson!

Tiffany Pelletier

Dr. Kittleson and Dr. Tayal provide professional expertise and care in and calm and comfortable environment. I highly recommend them for upper cervical chiropractic care.

Cliff Howlett

has really made a difference to my flexability and range of motion. Matty works towards keeping you out of the office rather than visits just becoming part of your routine

Barbara Sutherland

I first came to Dr Kittleson as a result of hip pain while golfing. He did a thorough assessment and came up with a treatment plan that could work for me. He is knowledgeable, confident in his abilities and methods, and really enjoys helping people. I now golf without pain and would recommend Dr Kittleson without hesitation.

Jon Derry

I had chronic back pain for 5 years and tried many different treatments. After 3 months of treatment with Dr. Kittleson, I was pain free. I now go for minor adjustments every few months and continue to live a life free of back pain. I Couldn’t recommend him more!

Julie Niebergal

Going to UC Life Chiropractic Centre changed my life! Since I've been seeing Dr. Kittleson, the tension in my neck/shoulder has improved dramatically and I my headaches are gone. What a relief! Highly recommended! And the reception staff are very pleasant as well.

Wes Broszeit

Dr K does an amazing job of keeping me upright and relatively pain free from various physical aliments than I have accumulated over the years. I have been seeing him since he started at UC Life and look forward for my regular 3 month adjustments.
