Black Lives Matter to the Oakville Chiropractic Centre

June 23/2020 By Dr. Brian Huggins

What a time we are living in. Here in the Halton Region we are entering Phase II of re-opening during the Coronavirus. In addition to all of the COVID-19 madness, we have seen society screaming out with social injustice and racial bigotry. I cannot totally understand the issues as I have not walked in those shoes, but I can assure you that we at the Oakville Chiropractic Centre are totally empathetic and support the message Black Lives Matter.

The videos that have leaked show abhorrent behaviour and devoid of humane
treatment. It saddens and hurts to see the treatment and understand what systemic racism is and learn how it has affected people of colour throughout their lives. We are proud to live in a country like Canada, home to Toronto, one of the most diverse cities in the world and it’s time for everyone to start respecting that.

Here at the Oakville Chiropractic Centre, we want to make it very clear that we welcome and embrace everyone at our office regardless of your colour, religion and sexuality and would hope that others offer the same respect to fellow human beings as you would expect of yourself. Be kind and respectful and everyone will benefit.

All in all, we take a knee with you and sincerely hope that the old guard embraces the
diversity of today’s world. We can all start by educating not only ourselves but our little ones that hold the future. Teach, encourage questions, have discussions that touch on uncomfortable subjects. It is time that everyone does their part to make this a safer world for our brothers and sisters of colour.

If you are looking to help the cause, donations are a great place to start. We have chosen to donate to Black Lives Matter directly through the website https://blacklivesmatter.com. The process to do so is very quick and easy. Click on the donate button in the top right and follow the prompts.

This is not chiropractic related post but a human post. Hang in there everyone and let’s move forward with purpose and compassion.

I first made the mistake of going to see Brian on the 28th of February. I went in with lower back pain after hurting my back at work. The first appointment consisted of Brian rushing me through an "initial inspection", telling me he felt my neck was tight, along with doing some manipulation of my spine which has left me with pain over a week later. He did not address my lower back pain once. Over the next two days i started developing severe pain in my neck, which I have never felt before. Two days later I came back in for another appointment after xrays and he told me my neck was out of alignment and if I just stuck to his plan he would fix my neck. He still has not addressed the issue I came in for. I asked him if the neck pain was normal and he gave me the incredibly professional answer of "probably". After asking for a plan to address my now neck and back pain he failed to come up with one, just saying if i keep coming back he will fix it it. It seems he does not care about the well being of his clients, he just wants their money. In summary, I went in to see Brian with lower back pain, did not get that issue addressed once, and left with lower back pain and severe neck pain now. Would not advise anyone go to this man to get anything done.

Their prices are starting to creep up there, but still a great place to go. When I first went there, I wasn't sure what to think. You don't get the satisfying crunch or pop that you get from a normal chiro appt. They use what's called an activator. It's clicked along the spine in certain spots to align your spine. I really feel that this practice does a great gob at keeping my spine healthy. I would like to try gonstead once to feel the difference though.

I know someone who works at this clinic so I felt comfortable going somewhere where I know who's there. With Covid protocols they have, there's no worries. Easily accessible and Dr. Huggins is great to work with. Explains things clearly and is open and great to deal with.

Dr. Huggins is great. He is knowledgable, makes me feel comfortable, and very jovial. The staff is excellent as well. Appointments are readily available and there is very little wait time once you get to the clinic.

I got a package that gives me 3 spinal decompression and 3 adjustments, he spent no more then 3 minutes with the adjustment, using a machine for 90% of the time, i guess they use machines for adjustments now ?

I was recommended to Dr Huggins a few months ago - and I can honestly say it's changed my life. I suffered from back/neck/shoulder pain and after a thorough initial assessment, a few treatments and some recommended at-home exercises, I feel soooo much better. I was initially skeptical about seeing a chiropractor but I'm glad I finally gave in. It's even worth the drive from Toronto to Oakville!!

Dr. Brian Huggins has vast experience in the Chiro practice and it shows immediately. He was able to judge the trouble points easily, explained them in simple language and his treatment brings results from first session itself.He was able to provide relief from cluster headache within minutes, and other pain area also improved soon.I would highly recommend him.

I would not trust anyone else with my chronic back issues. I drive 50 minutes one way to get there. Entire staff is professional and polite.

I have been seeing Dr. Huggins also known as Dr. Phil for about a month now. He has been professional and attentive to addressing the issues I’ve been having. The ART, adjustments, and stretching recommendations have been helpful. I’m an active person who has body awareness and he’s brought a couple things to my attention that I hadn’t previously been aware of. I found the clinic through Living Social where I purchased a deal for 3 adjustments and 3 spinal decompression treatments for $50.So far so good, I will update this review as my treatments continue.

AmaZing customer service and top notch care and they were cheaper than other spinal decompression clinics around I recommend them for sure.

I started seeing Dr. Phillip Wessel for chronic lower back pain going on 2 years. other chiropractors would just go thru the motions. Dr. Wessel worked the problem. less than 2 months of work and it's gone. Highly recommend him

Dr. Wessel is a great professional! I've been seeing him for the last 1.5 months and in such a short period of time he has considerably helped me with my neck and back pains. From the beggining he set up a plan for my specific needs that has exceeded my expectations. Staff is very friendly and location is highly convenient. Will definitely come back regularly for maintenance!

I have been seeing Dr. Huggins for almost 20 years. He and his staff are professional, kind and caring. I am convinced he is the only reason I am still able to indulge in my love of sports. I have no hesitation in recommending this office to anyone in need of excellent care.

I have been a steady patient of Dr Huggins for many years. Even though I have about a 45 min to an hour drive from my house to his office I do not even consider going anywhere closer. He is extremely professional, personable and darn good at making me feel better. Thanks Doc. Appreciate you and your fantastic staff.

Dr. Huggins is a very professional and caring doctor with positive energy. I suffered lower back pain and headache and I always feel much after I visit Dr. Huggins. I noticed the big improvements of my overall health. In addition, the office staff are very friendly and helpful. Thank you Dr. Huggins and Steph. I recommend Oakville Chiropractor Centre very highly!

Dr. Huggins has been invaluable to both my family and myself. Not only is he extremely accurate in his assessments but he has also greatly improved the health of our backs. The staff and office are very welcoming and accommodating. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else.

Dr. Brian Huggins has been my chiropractor for many years. He is warm and professional as is his staff. I always leave his office feeling better than when I arrive! Visits to Dr. Huggins keep me pain free so I can do all the things I like to do. I also love that have never been pressured to make more visits than I need to maintain health and be pain free.
