I also kept getting colds that ended up in pneumonia and endometriosis for 5 years. Sometimes I needed to take days and weeks off work to recuperate and just stay in bed. At one time I even had to stop working for 4 years, and as a teacher this was very discouraging. I had seen many doctors and was taking Tylenol, Ibuprofen and sleeping tablets plus was told that I needed surgery.
At The Spinal Garage Wellness Centre, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic care to each and every patient. We have included information below about the different chiropractic services offered in our Kitchener chiropractic office, but please call us at (519) 603-5433 if you have any questions!
We understand that arriving at a chiropractic office for the first time can be nerve racking. If you've never experienced chiropractic care before, you may not know what to expect when you come to our Kitchener chiropractic office for the first time. Filling out paperwork, learning new faces, and getting to know your way around the office can be an overwhelming experience.
If you are in pain when you come into our Kitchener chiropractic office, our first objective is to help you reduce pain and start feeling better as soon as possible. Depending on the severity of the underlying condition which is causing your pain, it is typical for a patient to need chiropractic care or adjustments 2-3 times a week for 8-12 weeks in acute situations and longer for chronic conditions.
Your second visit will start with a 1 hour presentation by the doctors at The Spinal Garage which will outline what chiropractic is and what chiropractic is not, stages of degeneration, basic anatomy, physiology, neuroanatomy, chiropractic science, current health care in Canada and how chiropractic adjustments work.

I started with spinal garage today, I was taken to the hospital via ambulance on Tuesday. Dr Allan took X-rays, showed me what’s going on and had me back 2 times today. I’m so impressed with the clinic, everyone cares and is fantastic. Even the staff helped me to the clinic from my car. Just for the care I’ve been given they get 5 stars. So far soooo good!

I would avoid the Spinal Garage at all costs.
I was a patient at the Spinal Garage a couple years back. I started off seeing Dr. Meredith, who I liked quite a bit. However, after she left the practice I was automatically transferred over to being one of Dr. Alan's patients. I felt he didn't understand my pain and needs nearly as much as Dr. Meredith. You also attend group sessions at the Spinal Garage with different patients to remind you how bad pain medication is, and that their way of performing chiropractic work is the only way to fix any problems you have (going less than 2/3 times a week

My hubby and I moved Wellesley last year and needed a chiropractor. We were directed to Dr. Alan O'Connor by a friend. We love how he and Suzanne his wife and staff are so knowledgable, caring and friendly. We are definitely feeling that our backs and necks are in a much better place than a year ago.

I was suffering from frequent migraines and back issues when I desperately walked into The Spinal Garage. Dr. Alan was knowledgeable, thorough, kind and sympathetic as he explained how he could help me. He gave me hope that things could improve. I couldn't continue in my very physical job without Dr. Alan putting me back together. The office is professionally run but with a comfortable, family feel. All the team members express compassion and kindness while providing quality services for their clients. If you need hope and healing, this is the place for you.

I have been a patient of other chiropractors but this wellness centre is just that a centre of help for your health. They have a wide variety of services available and the staff is caring and trained to treat you. Each patient is unique to this well trained team of professionals. Their general location gives you easy access to care with a large free parking lot.

Been coming here for years and wouldn’t trust anyone else with my back. The staff are very friendly and treat you like you’re part of the family. They care about your wellbeing and take the time to get to know you. Dr. O’Connor has many years of experience and greets you with a smile. He gets excited when he sees improvement and encourages you to stay on the current adjustment plan. And there is always a positive message of encouragement on his white board that I look forward to reading during my appointment.

I was diagnosed with Scoliosis at a young age and truthfully I let it go for years untreated - into my 20’s I’ve constantly suffered with back pain, headaches and sore hips. After working manual labour, 8 Years of competitive running, gymnastics & cheerleading it took its toll. I met the Spinal Garage Team at a Bridal Show in January & I can’t thank my lucky stars enough that I did. I’ve taken back some control on my overall health and resolved issues with my physical wellness I didn’t know I had. It’s easier to be on my feet working, my sinuses are better than they have ever been,

I thank God that I was introduced to Dr. Alan and Dr. Daniel at the Spinal Garage. I was always afraid of Chiropractors and never would go to one because I was afraid of pain. I went to hear Dr. Alan speak and I was so impressed because I realized that he really cares for people and his patients the best way he can
.I suffer from depression, stress, anxiety and OCD. I never thought a chiropractor could help me with this. Within the first six weeks I became calmer almost immediately. If I make a mistake and blow it..I can handle the situation and circumstances within myself much quicker and go

I have seen a number of chiropractors through the years. I was pleased with the results I received. When I started seeing Dr. Alan I was amazed at the difference and outcome of my adjustments. I received a complete and thorough assessment including x-rays before I was ever touched by the doctor. I was educated on the science behind what the doctor recommending and was part of the decision making process every step of the way. I have received relief from my back pain and my health issues have greatly improved. The clinic is high tech and very professional but at the same time it feels like a big
