I am a veteran of the 911 RCMP. I have several skeletal issues due to my work, and with Dr. Lam working with me, he scaled my issues precisely for evidence for approval for a Veterans Disability. He has also put me on a treatment plan with him and his team, which have been my stepping stones to a better quality of life. I was initially referred to Dr. Lam by friends. For the first time in my life, I have felt relief and a correction to my issues. What a relief to finally find someone who has Dr. Lam's level of expertise, who can actually make a difference in all the corrections that have to be made inside of me. I want to thank Sheldon, who has been my massage therapist at the clinic. He provides the perfect deep tissue massage, working together with Dr. Lam's chiropractic. He has helped tremendously in calming my body and releasing my body from accumulated stress. THANK YOU TO THE TEAM They are fantastic to work with! Darlene McColl Retired RCMP 911

Doctor Brad Gage and his team, particularly chiropractor Yen Yen Skleryk, have saved my life. I am 79 years old and have suffered back pain since my mid 20's despite receiving continuous treatment, without sustained relief, from every conceivable type of health care provider, none of whom identified scoliosis as the culprit (go figure??). Two years ago I was unable to move around home without debilitating pain and the assistance of two canes. Today I'm virtually pain free (some occasional discomfort) and I'm able to live a full and active life, including playing pain free golf, something I had concluded would never happen again. Because my scoliosis was not identified and treated for 50+ years it cannot now be totally corrected - that would take a miracle. I am however, confident that Dr. Gage's life-time treatment plan will stop further deterioration. Don't be mislead! His treatment is time consuming and difficult, particularly in the first year. It takes total commitment, but if followed to the letter, the results are spectacular. If someone my age can do it, anyone can. Most importantly, I believe a miracle is possible if your scoliosis is identified and treated early. John Thorne

When I first went to BetterBack Clinic at Cedar Hill Sports Therapy, I could barely walk because of my spinal injury, herniated discs and pulled muscles. Red light therapy and Laser treatment was recommended. So presently I'm in the middle of receiving my first 10 treatments. (They do an evaluation after 10 treatments, and follow with more treatment if necessary). Red light and Lazer therapy is not like chiropractic adjustments that often give instant relief. Rather, when you receive your first treatment, the effect is not obvious at first, but healing continues to benefit you for a couple of days after treatment. Each successive treatment builds on the previous treatment, so you feel an accumulative beneficial effect. It's not sudden but it is steady. After only a few treatments my mobility is quite noticeably better, and it is continuing to improve. I am beginning to feel hopeful that soon I will be able to walk without pain or restriction. This is unbelievable considering I could barely walk when I started and I was in excruciating pain constantly. My physical injury is multi-facilitated, and yet good results were felt from the first treatment, with more improvement with every treatment afterwards. The treatment itself is painless. Dr. Lam really cares about his patients, and he listens closely to the description you give about your pain. And he adjusts his treatment according to the feed back her gets from his patients. This is very reassuring.

A long overdue review for a place that has drastically improved my quality of life as an adult with scoliosis & given me so much hope for the future! Some background context: I have a significant S curve and was braced as a child. Over the last 15 years have explored a range of treatments (chiro, acupuncture, massage, PT, strength training, yoga, pilates, barre—you name it, have probably tried it) to avoid going the surgical route & preserve my range of motion/improve my quality of life while reducing pain. I was recommended to Dr. Gage by another practitioner in town, given he specialized in bracing. From the very first phone consultation, I felt heard & understood. My experience as with scoliosis was validated and he was well versed in the latest technology around bracing / where it could potentially help me. Up until that point, I had thought surgery was really the only alternative for adult curves increasing in severity. The in person appointments that followed for x-rays, brace fittings, & trims were all very comprehensive, thorough, and educational. Dr. Gage is an empathetic listener and took extra time to address questions, make additional tweaks to the brace, and make sure I was comfortable & knowledgable about the path forward. He even worked with me on scheduling to ensure my insurance would cover facets of the brace ahead of changing my job. Now, in addition to Dr.Gage, this clinic has another incredible human—Megan Tochor. Megan is an incredibly knowledgable kinesiologist that specializes in "scolibalance" exercises. She developed a plan customized to my curve and re-educated me how to sit with corrected posture, stand, walk, squat, & lift. I'm not kidding when I say this has changed my life. My entire center of gravity has shifted, and my strength is increasing day by day. She's met me in the positive moments as a partner to celebrate wins with, while also uplifting and nurturing me in some of the hard moments. The entire clinic staff are all gems, if I'm being transparent. They were helpful with scheduling, squeezing me in with lots of life stuff going on, and checking in regularly with me as I progressed through milestones. After a few months of wearing the brace & doing scolibalance exercises, I've seen big changes in my body positioning, posture, & curvature. My clothes are sitting different and I'm no longer throwing my back out all of the time. I physically feel different and mentally am in a stronger, happier place. I feel hopeful! I'd recommend exploring this path if you're at all curious whether it will help you—you'll be greeted by a team of caring folks eager to help.

Ive honestly been putting this review off for a while out of fear that I wouldn’t do it justice. Since I was 12 I’ve struggled with my scoliosis and got used to consistent pain in my back. The BetterBack Clinic instantly gained my loyalty. Dr.Lam created a comfortable and educational atmosphere. I am always excited to see him and always leave feeling significantly better. Once my back starts acting up I call and the booking is fast and accommodating. I am deeply grateful to Dr.Lam and the team for helping take my pain away and further my understanding on how to care for my body. I can’t recommend them enough. 10/10 across the board
