What Our Patients Say

Thank you Dr. Dale. I avoided knee surgery with your help, the knee brace, PRP injections and the help of your physiotherapist. I had a shredded meniscus and had to learn to walk again after poor advise from other professionals. I am fully recovered and able to engage in light impact workouts again! Fit, healthy and happy!

A.G.

I travel all the way from Northern Manitoba to receive treatment here.

W.D.

I like coming to Dr. Macdonald’s for appointments very much. While he is working on you he teaches you what bone he is working on and what is wrong with it.

D.M.

Dale has saved my life on more than one occasion and I am really grateful.

M.W.

Having been involved in competitive sports for 15 years and having been under the care of very highly regarded practitioners I can say that Dr. Dale Macdonald is the finest chiropractor or physiotherapist I have ever been treated by. Having solved a chronic neck problem overlooked by many chiropractors, I can say that Dr. Dale is nothing short of brilliant.

D.J.

I have to say Dr. Dale is brilliant after months of radiating shoulder/arm pain, Dr. Dale has solved my agony which other chiropractors couldn’t. Absolutely talented. Recommended highly.

J.M.

I have been seeing Dr. Dale for the past year, to treat my persistent back issues (from my desk job). His treatments have relieved my issues and allowed me to perform and focus at my job. They are extremely Knowledgeable and professional. I gladly recommend them to my friends and peers.

A.B.

After years of pain and physio I finally found Dr. Dale. Almost one year to the day from my first visit I feel wonderful. Have been able to enjoy living again; walking, golfing, cycling. Living with chronic back pain has not been fun, however to attain the mobility back has been my lifeline. I will refer anyone who need Dr. Dale to relieve pain.

D.T.

Hey Dale,

THANK YOU so much for helping me get across the finish line, finished in 2:01 – WITH NO PAIN… not bad considering I had a very long taper due to my calves and I didn’t even take any Advil or nothing before/during/after the race- and I am walking good today!!

Thank you for your hard work…

Cheers!

Debbie

Hey Dale!
Congratulations on your 10th year anniversary! Where did the time go?

I’m not certain how long I’ve been your patient, but want you to know how grateful I am. I had been in a car accident that left me with mobility issues and pain in my neck (no I didn’t say I was a pain in the neck!). I had always had reservations about chiropractors and therefore tried every other type of treatment under the sun before Dave referred me to you (THANKS Dave!). You took the time to talk to me about your profession and what I could expect in terms of treatment. You answered all my silly questions in a professional manner and set my mind at ease. From the time I started receiving treatment, I can honestly say I feel so much better and want you to know how thankful I am.

Congratulations to you and your team and I wish you continued success in helping others!

I would like to acknowledge Dr. Dale Macdonald for his excellent chiropractic care and treatments. A car accident had caused some injury to my back and neck and after only a few months of treatments by Dr. Dale, I was completely recovered. His knowledge of the body structures and his expertise and comprehensive training and skills allow him to quickly asses the problem and treat it directly with the right adjustments to bring maximum impact and benefits. It is a pleasure and inspiration to be treated by a Dr. in the health profession who has so much caring, concern and skill in the art of healing. I am extremely happy that I and my husband have had the good fortune of being patients of Dr. Dale.

Yana and Don

I can’t say enough about this office!

Doc Dale,

Oh my God, a life saver really.

I am running again. YAY!

Took a while to get myself to come here.

I will run the Police Half Marathon for the first time. Been wanting to run this half since last year but couldn’t due to knee pain. Have been to 2 other chiro places and been told many things like stop running.

Oh I have my passion now. I will continue to write again after my race.

J.B.

Dr. Dale is a critical partner in my health care team. His expertise is invaluable and respected. Patient education is an integral part of his service and something I value the most.

Thanks Dr. Dale!

Darlene

I came into this process in severe pain in my lower back, knee and leg. Having tried alternatives Dr. Macdonald and his physio department had me pain free and returning my life to normal in a few short weeks. Where other treatment failed Dr. Dale and his team made a world of difference.

G.H.

Dale, you have made a big difference with my knee injury. You explain things well and are very patient with questions. I also very much appreciate how positive you are. If it hadn’t been for you I would have despaired endlessly about this injury. Thanks for your wonderful care and for helping me build a healthy perspective.

Worth the drive from the NW to see the talented Dr. Macdonald. He has made life better.

F.B

Rebecca is an AMAZING massage therapist! She is by FAR the best massage therapist I have ever had! I appreciate the deep pressure she gives throughout the massage. She definitely knows what she is doing and I will for sure be seeing her as long as she is around.

I would HIGHLY recommend her!

N.S

Dale and Jason,

Thanks for the support and TLC during my stress fracture. I will do you guys proud in Philly this fall. I promise sub 3 or bust!

D.L.B

I have been to many different clinics and a highly competitive athlete and elite sports has diagnosed and treated me greater than any I had been to before.

Dr. Schimke,

Thanks to your diagnosis and treatment I was able to complete 3 weeks of rigorous field work in BC. 23 days of freeze dried meals, rain/snow/sleet/hail, glaciers and a whole bunch of geology- but no knee issues!

A.M

I have been coming in for just over 5 weeks. Barely walking to now being pain free and enjoying life again.

Thanks to Dr. Dale and Staff!

Linda. G

Thanks Dr. Dale for your help with my knee and giving a good assessment and saying no knee replacement. You explained a lot more than AHC Dr’s did. Am so grateful for that and doing PRP injections and brace-helping me so much and getting my vitamins too. Staff are helpful too. Thanks again.

M.F

I have been coming to this clinic now for almost a year and I can say that I am 90% better with my knee pain! I thanks God that I found you! Thank you Dr. Schimke and Dr, Macdonald for the professional help and advice you have given me throughout the year. If it wasn’t for you I would have already had surgery on my knees!

God Bless You!

M. T

For Eric,

The shots in my knees have allowed me to keep working and they are the most significant measure in my pain therapy. I feel so much better because my job is very stressful when I have pain. This is a lifeline to a healthier happier life! Thank you!

Three Pillars of Care

Dr. Macdonald leg therapy at Elite Sports

Our three pillars of care include

1. Treating the actual problem. We emphasize being specific with our diagnosis, and we use our specialized clinical skill along with advanced imaging to determine accurately the source of your problem.

2. Strengthen the area. With strength comes stability, and with stability almost always comes reduced pain.

3. Avoid or modify offending activities. We look closely at your day-to-day activities, postural habits and other factors that may influence the perpetuation or return of the problem.

Following each initial consultation, we send a letter back to your family physician letting them know what our assessment and diagnoses reveals. We inform them of your plan of management and we keep them abreast of your progress as you go through your clinical journey with us. We can send copies of this letter to any other members of your allied healthcare team, whether it be your yoga instructor, personal trainer or running coach.

One of the benefits of working in such a diverse multidisciplinary setting is that you the patient get the best of each of us. Ego is absent in a clinic where every practitioner knows the area in which they are clinically strongest. If your clinical condition falls outside of the scope of one practitioner, we will refer you to somebody who will be better able to help you in a timely manner.

We espouse a best evidence-based approach to care, utilizing techniques and making recommendations that are supported by research as best as is possible.

Isn’t this how healthcare is supposed to work?
