I've been in chiropractic care here since 2011 and just in general since around 2007-2008. I've found I've rarely been sick and I find my depression a tad easier. I will say that yes chiropractic works, but it works a lot more if you're willing to have the help. I know many go in hating it and then saying it doesn't work or not helping enough, and as with most forms of healthcare it only works as well as you let it. I personally would recommend this office because the staff here are wonderful and understanding, and truly when you've been here for as long as I have they become like family.

After having a fall, I was left with a debilitating back injury. My partner encouraged me to meet Dr. T, and although I was hesitant, I began chiropractic treatments. After just one month, I began noticing a difference in my ability to do every day activities. 18 months later, I continue with my weekly treatments and I am able to continue with my life with almost no restrictions. I highly recommend and believe in Dr. T. The staff are amazing, always greeting you with a bright smile! Thank you Better Life Chiropractic!

I'm so grateful for Dr. Thomson for keeping me, my hips, in grate shape. You really do have a magic touch. It helps a lot! On another note, I am as grateful for Dr. Thomson for his heroic action against medical and corporate over reach at the store. No corporate entity should be demanding for a medical device to be push on the public by force (a mask is a medical device). This is in contradiction to all of the Laws: The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Nuremberg Code, Ontario’s Human Rights Code and local By-laws allowing for exemptions to be respected.

I came to Better Life Chiropractic about 3 years ago, suffering from back pain. After having been treated at other chiropractors for over a year, I really hoped this one would be different. Better Life Chiropractic approached my problem very professionally: X-ray, sit and talk about the problem and they really listened. After 6 months I was totally pain free. Dr Darryl's adjustments are REAL adjustments and you feel like a totally different person each and every time you walk out of there. To top it all off: he's got an amazing team of staff: professional and courteous at all times. I definitely recommend Better Life Chiropractic to anyone! It'll change your Life! I applaud Dr Darryl's visit to the Superstore without masks. Dr Darryl has proven to be totally informed about the Covid misinformation that has been circulating over the past several months and has my full support in putting an end to the fear mongering. It is of my opinion, based on research values that the so-called pandemic is focused primarily on the elderly with underlying health conditions. And according to media reports from across the country, most of the deaths are being reported in longterm care facilities. These reports are being manipulated saying that Covid-19 was the reason for these deaths. What is not being said is that many of these people may have had underlying health issues which would have resulted in their expiration eventually. As we all will. What no one is talking about is how many people would have died anyway in old age homes because of the regular flu or not. What no one is talking about is how many people end up in the ICU because of Covid. Just Covid. My extensive research teaches me that we're being presented with numbers of cases, numbers of deaths but no numbers on hospitalizations and occasionally the number of people in ICU's. Last information tells us there's less than 300 people province wide that are in ICU's. This is not a pandemic. One case in a school is NOT an outbreak! Other information is out there that 99 % of infected people recover like from the regular flu. Wake up people.

I went into Better Life Chiropractic as my last resort. I have been in so much pain and discomfort since 2006,after a work related accident. From the very moment I walked in the door the staff have been very pleasant. They always greet you with a Good Morning or afternoon with great big smiles . Dr Andrew has been nothing but Extremely helpful and amazing at explaining my condition, and has made me feel like I can ,and will feel better ,with less pain . I have been feeling much better so far ,at my 3 month point. I will continue going . I recommend Dr Andrew ,or anystaff at Better Life Chiropractic. If you have doubts like I did ,atleast give them a chance to see what they can do to help you. They are all so very wonderful and helpful .

Dr. T. is one of the most dedicated doctors I've met. He is passionate about making people healthy. His technique is different then some chiros, but it works on a more permanent level. I highly recommend him (and his fabulous team) to anyone suffering with chronic pain. If you want to do what it takes to get better. . . Dr. Thompson's your guy!

William Tickle

Dr. Thomson has dedicated, kind & generous.

Carol Saunders

Although the staff were very friendly, they obviously lacked science based knowledge and support Darryl's fanciful treatment theories. Anyone with rudimentary understanding of anatomy and/or psychology should be able to see through the nonsense he is trying to sell you. His treatment of my husband's back pain made the problem much worse than it was before seeing him. My husband required medical intervention following his "adjustment" at the clinic. Darryl's plan for my husband included a very long term and costly course of treatment. He is a charleton who should be sanctioned by the College of Chiropractors of Ontario. He does not deserve to be called "Doctor".

Chef Gillian Purkiss

Love this group. They care and treat with accuracy

Clarise Chan

This office is incredible. It has some of THE most compassionate, loving and highly skilled Chiropractors you will ever meet. When you walk into their office, you are immediately overwhelmed by the love and hope they and their entire team shower upon you. They are very thorough with their examinations, do the appropriate testing and take the time to educate you at your second visit. This is truly what sets this clinic apart from all others. Thank you Better Life Chiropractic for making my health and life much better :)!! God bless you and may you continue to serve the masses in Midland!!

Dr. Darryl keeps my spine in great shape allowing me to lead the active life I choose to, from baseball to golf to sea doing in the summer to hockey and snow shoeing and ski doing in the winter. I had stopped doing some of these activities because of back pain but since attending Better Life Chiropractic I am back to enjoying all the activities I love.

I am beyond thankful to have found Better Life Chiropractic 6 months ago when I first began my chiropractic care with Dr. Scott. Before I began coming to see Dr. Scott for his knowledge about concussion recovery, I was lost in trying to find a recovery program that was right for me. None seemed to work... until I came to Better Life Chiropractic. I suffered from an overload of recurrent concussions, leading me to feel incompetent in my abilities, and incapable of fulfilling my life goals due to the impact of my concussion symptoms. I quickly was informed that the top part of my spine (the Atlas), was in a completely improper alignment with the rest of my spine due to many collisions to the head. This was disrupting my brain's connection to the rest of my body. Some of the symptoms I was dealing with on the daily were severe headaches, sleeplessness, dizziness, brain fog, lack of vision focus, anxiety, and difficulty handling stress. My first adjustment with Dr. Scott was one I will never forget and excited me with knowing I came to the right place. Immediately following the adjustment with Dr. Scott, was the first time I felt my complete self or 'normal' in over 5 years. With each adjustment I could progressively feel my concussion recovery getting better and better. I am 6th months into my recovery, and feeling healthier than I have in a long time. Due to the progress made by Dr. Scott's care, I have been able to start going back to post secondary education in order to pursue the dreams I once thought I'd never be capable of reaching! To add on I have also noticed incredible improvements in my health and well being with way less headaches, better focus, better sleep, relief from mental health issues, and overall, I feel myself again. I am incredibly thankful and appreciative for Dr. Scott's care and support, and for the courtesy of the entire staff. If you are suffering from symptoms of concussions, I highly recommend seeing Dr. Scott at Better Life Chiropractic.

Charlene’s Favourites

when we saw that my sister''s health had been restored and she couldn't stop praising Better Life Chiropractic, our mother and I decided that maybe they could help us to live better as well Mom has been seeing them for just over a month. She had trouble walking and spent most of her days sleeping in her chair. Now she is up everyday making her own meals and visiting with her sisters. I just started treatment a week ago, but already notice I have better mobility and more energy ! I have already noticed a difference in my mental health. That was almost two years ago! Now our Mother looks forward to her visits to Dr. D and knows that she will have a feeling of better wellness from the adjustment. Although she still relies on her wheel chair she is in considerably less pain from her arthritis I myself no longer have knee pain, I have been able to go back to work and I enjoy an active lifestyle

I have been receiving chiropractic care for almost 1 year at Better Life Chiropractic in Midland. Prior to my initial assessment, I had never considered going to see a chiropractor. I believed it was only a quick temporary solution that may or may not alleviate the back & neck pains that I had suffered for a few decades. I won’t bore you with the details of why I suffered back & neck pains, but needless to say, prescription and over the counter pain meds were becoming a daily staple in my life. My issue worsened when I had an accident that resulted in tendonitis of my shoulder. Again, I self-medicated to alieve the discomfort. Eventually, my stomach could take no more of the pain killers I was dumping in it, which in turn resulted in waking up in the middle of the night in discomfort. This started to affect my everyday life, so I decided to go visit my GP. After many GP appointments, months and months of waiting for first an ultra sound & then an M.R.I., and yet more pain med prescriptions, I finally received my diagnosis. I then had to wait to see a surgeon, who gave me a cortisone injection & told me to come back in 3 months for another. After a few days of discomfort, the cortisone relieved some of my pain. This is the point when a family member who had been seeing Dr. Thomson, told me he may be able to help me. To say I am a bit of a sceptic would be a massive understatement. If it was not for the fact that the family member who was referring me was also a massive sceptic, but had been seeing Dr.Thomson for 5 years, I wouldn’t have even bothered picking up the phone. After my initial exam & then the orientation, I still wasn’t convinced. I decided I would take The Doctor up on his deal of 30 day money back guarantee, as it seemed like I had nothing to lose other than a few minutes of my time a few times a week. Plus I really was out of options other than pain meds. Fast forward to today, I sleep better, feel better & my shoulder, back & neck are nowhere near as painful as they once were. Another bonus, I have not suffered a cold since seeing Dr. Thomson. Usually I would suffer cold & sniffles all the way from October to the following April prior to seeing Dr. Thomson. I now look back on all the information I was provided with during my orientation, & it now makes sense. I started on 3 appointments a week, & I am now down to 1. Both my wife & son are patients and both have experienced similar relief to what I have. If you are looking for a quick temporary fix & not willing to put any commitment in, then this won’t be for you. If you want to do something life changing and improve your quality of life, week over week, then you need to get down to Better Life Chiropractic. Just remember, it will only improve your quality of life if you are willing to follow the direction & support you will receive every time you attend an appointment.

Dr. Daryl and his team have changed my life since starting my treatments. When I attended my first appointment I was in agony couldn’t touch my knees and my body hurt all over. That was in the fall of 2016 and now I feel so much better my knees don’t hurt anymore and my aches and pains have been reduced to once in a while! My quality of life is much better and knee surgery I out of the picture for now! I can’t thank the Better Life enough! ♥️♥️♥️♥️ Let them help you, you will be glad you did!!

I have put this body of mine thru a lot of rough adventures which eventually caught up to me, including damage to the upper and lower spinal discs, Rheumatoid Arthritis got a grip on me and the love of craving and eating the wrong foods have placed more than a few extra kilos on my frame. Now this wonderful combination created a very uncomfortable and often intense series of pain in my back and shooting "spikes" of fire down my legs. Life was becoming a not so welcoming daily routine anymore. So, with the ever skillful plying of my dear wife, I finally entered the world of BLC. Now, I have been coming for a while now and life is a much happier daily experience. Have they given me "youth" again - no. How about a complete new body - no. Totally cured - probably not totally. But I am able to get up on the right side of the dirt each morning and face my day without the unbearable back and leg pain, sometimes even smile and go about my business trying to get something accomplished each day. That is what makes me happy. Being able to be useful and get something done. I'll be 78 this year and I am still able to work part-time, every day and feel good about it and I'm still able to give my dearest a run for her money. Thanks for the extra mileage TLC.

I highly recommend this chiropractic clinic located in downtown Midland., Dr. Darryl Thomson D.C. and his team are amazing. " HOPE LIVES HERE"

Justin Wojcicki

When i first met Dr. Andrew Scott at the Canada day celebrations at little lake, he did a preliminary evaluation and asked me a few questions. One of them was " do you sleep well at night? ". My reply was " i can't sleep longer then 4 to 5 hours per night ". He promised me that would change. Indeed a man of his word, i sleep like a baby..... 8 to 10 hours every night!!! Amazing. And my golf game has improved dramatically!!! Thank you Dr.A

Michel Opzoomer

My back used to 'go out' from time to time and was quite painful. Since going to Dr. Thomson at Better Life Chiropractic for regular treatment and following the suggested exercises, my back has been far more stable. thank you Dr. T.

Andrew Boshnick

Growing up I was very athletic. I played hockey and football, and raced dirtbikes well into my teens. When I was around 19 I started to feel the toll of these activities on my back. Being a young man, I "toughed" it out. By the time I was 26 my back felt like I was 80 years old. All the activities I loved to do were causing me pain. This was when I decided to do something about it. The first thing I noticed when I walked into BLC was the atmosphere. The space is clean and bright and everyone is positive, friendly, and upbeat. Due to the odd shifts I am required to work, I was initially worried it would be hard to schedule appointments. However, the staff have been absolute miracle workers booking my appointments. They are very flexible and accommodating. Since I started working with Dr. Thomson and his wonderful staff, I am proud and enthused to report that I rarely experience back pain. Dr. Thompson is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to listen to concerns. Although I went to Better Life Chiropractic to relieve my back pain, I continue to go for positive impact it has had on my overall well being. I always look forward to being there and leave feeling recharged. I highly recommend Better Life Chiropractic to anyone who is looking to better their quality of life! -Andrew

October 2016 I went to a Better Life Chiropractic meeting with a friend. I have been going as a patient since that day. I was unable to stand more than 10 minutes to talk to anyone. I had lower back pain and muscles spasms shooting up my back making it very difficult to have a conversation with friends or do anything I enjoyed like playing with my grandchildren. Less than a year I could stand for hours without any pain or spasms. I am also smart enough to know that I will have to continue my treatments. I never want to live like that again. Thank you Dr. D. Thompson.

Perfect example of your stereotypical chiropractic clinic. Booked an appointment since I can barely sleep due to all kinds of back pain. Thought I was gonna get some adjustments that I desperately need, but instead I was walked around the office to take an x-ray thinking I would get some work after words. Nope, was told to come back Monday to start my "healthy life" and plan out my finances. Anyone who leaves a good review has clearly never been to a proper chiropractic clinic.

Jeffery Ursulak

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Andrews for the past year and Chiropractic has helped me in incredible ways. I’ve broke my ankles serveal times and they were constantly bothering me. Since I’ve been getting adjusted the pain has gone away and my ankles have better mobility. As an athlete, Chiropractic care has helped me greatly in my performance as a player. I’ve noticed overall my body’s physical and mental health improve. I would highly recommend this clinic! Miracles really do happen there!

Nancy Phillips

Love Better Life and have noticed a magnificent improvement in mobility

Sebastiana Parasiliti

Very thorough assessment & treatment. Very reasonably rate. I would recommend anyone with back and/or neck pain to Better Life Chiropractic.

Richard Haggart

Have been going there for almost a year. Range of motion has increased substantially. Neck and shoulders aren't as sore and lower back pain is reduced. I would recommend this clinic to any one. They are the most courteous and understanding I have yet to meet in this field.

Dr. Thomas Egan

Dr Darryl is a truly gifted chiropractor and mentor. He has helped me understand the difference between sickness care and health care. His care, support and encouragement is life changing!

Mirela Lukavecki

I would first like to state that the staff at the clinic were all welcoming and friendly, no question about that. I attended the clinic for a few weeks (6 I believe) as it was a referral and because I was willing to try something new (bed adjustments vs actual hand/body manipulation). In the end, I decided that this type of treatment was not for me afterall and that I would have made a better financial decision leaving sooner (prior to 4 weeks, as they do reimburse). Pros... Xrays taken, well organized for what it is designed for, definitely a system in place, willing to accomodate peoples schedules (scheduling/rescheduling etc.). Cons... cookie cutter treatment plan, rushed treatments (total time maybe 5 min. on table, body not visually scanned prior to treatment/testing of limbs, rotations/movement etc.), treatment did not feel personalized to individual, assembly line/factory-ish type setting (open rooms/waiting area), financial burden and in general (too many treatments per week, scheduled memebership style like system). Cost vs physical improvement was my main concern. In short... friendly and welcoming place, but if you are familiar with traditional type chiropractic manipulations (neck and spinal adjustments, muscle activation, athletic therapy etc.), this clinic may not be for you. Be well and stay healthy everyone!
