Reviews of Active Balance Chiropractic & Health Centre (Massage Therapist)

Lyon

Having lived across the country in Halifax, Toronto, Calgary, and West Vancouver I have visited at least 8 chiropractors over the years. Dr. Mike Brennon at Active Balance in Nelson stands a cut above the rest. I always walk out the door feeling great. His approach all around is quite effective. As a bonus he's a good listener, patient with my questions, and it's obvious he really enjoys the work.

Over the last 25 years, I have worked with chiropractors, acupuncturists, masseuses, and physical therapists to address the nagging back pain that I'm used to dealing with on a daily basis. I have experienced short-term relief before, but never any lasting improvement...so I'll readily admit that I was skeptical when I first stepped into Dr. Brennan's office. Dr. Brennan's immediately put me at ease. He listened to my concerns with careful attention and able to figure out what was going on with pinpoint accuracy. I knew right away that he was going to be the one to help me move along the path towards healing. To my amazement, my back pain decreased by 50% within the first week after our initial appointment. After continuing to do the exercises that he recommended, my back feels better now than it has in over a decade. I'm not joking. Dr. Brennan's is truly gifted. He is not only a highly skilled, knowledgeable, and thorough clinician, but also kind, gentle, and compassionate human being. I'm picky. Very picky and he passes every test I have. Thank you so much Val Dunk

I have been to see Doctor Brennan a few times over the last few years. Every time he has found the root of my problem and given me the tools in the form of exercises and stretches to improve and maintain my own structural balance and strength. Keeping me pain free. Accidents aside, It is only when I neglect the self care skills that he has provided me that I have to return to see him. I highly recommend this knowledgeable, caring practitioner.

I have spent many years struggling with horrible shoulder and neck pain. Mike Brennan has been wonderful. He really listens and has helped me immensely. His treatments and strengthening exercises have changed my life. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a chiropractor.

This spring I visited ACTIVEBALANCE for ongoing maintenance for a chronic back problem. Dr. Brennan's thorough 1st assessment included a review of exercises that I have been doing for the past 9 years. After my adjustment he demonstrated a number of exercises that he felt would better support my back and possibly alleviate some pain. In good faith I began the new exercises. 10 weeks later I returned to Nelson and visited ACTIVEBALANCE for another adjustment. This will be an ongoing part of my life, but I was shocked to discover that in doing the exercises recommended and icing when appropriate I have reduced the pain that I have lived with for 9 years. I'm able to enjoy longer walks and even able to cook more often as I'm able to stand for longer periods of time. Thank you for your care, and hope for more mobility and less pain in my future!

Everything has always been awesome! They were able to get me in immediately for my neck pain and Dr. Mike Brennan is great at what he does. Highly recommend!

I have seen Dr. Sara Smith a few times now, all for acute back pain. I was able to get an appointment the day of my injuries and left the office feeling relieved and almost pain free, with the pain being completely gone the next day! During my visits, Sara was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Her assessment didn't seem to leave anything out and she explained everything as she went. After treatment, she provided me with stretches and strength exercises to ensure that the injury didn't happen again. On top of all this, she was super friendly! I would definitely see her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a chiropractor!

Took the time to assess and listen, and then do what was needed to fix my back. I’ve visited several practitioners in the past, but none of them came close to Dr. Michael Brennan. Thank you!

I've struggled with horrible neck pain for several years. Dr. Brennan's office was able to fit me in on the same day that I called as I was struggling with constant migraines due to my neck being out of alignment. Dr. Brennan assessed & treated my neck and provided home strengthening exercises. My neck has never felt better. Now I only need to go in for occasional maintenance or when I have injured myself.
