Active Spine Stonebridge

Excellent experience and a highly recommended place. My husband has been visiting the place for around 3 weeks and he has seen a lot of improvements in his back. I started going today. And the experience was good. Robin is so professional and she knows what she's doing. She listens to your medical history and she told me how to try to fix the problem. I highly recommend this place.

I have been going to Active Spine for a while now and I can only say good things. My pain levels are decreased and my stiffness/tenderness is improving. It has also helped somewhat with my migraines which is amazing. Definitely recommend Colin and his team.

Everyone at Active Spine was very friendly and took the time to explain the process of my initial treatment. Looking forward to going back, so I can return to my “normal” self. Thanks Active Spine!

The reception staff and doctors are all very friendly and you get a welcoming feeling when you enter this establishment. The business model is successful in that it is polished and provides some surface validity upon entering. It makes me feel like a richer version of myself walking in. My first visit involved watching a DVD, seeing a chiropractor who performed a brief initial assessment, and ended with a requisition to get neck and spine x-rays. Excluding the DVD, it was all under 10 minutes. I was also told that it would take X amount of treatments, was given a total price, and asked when I would like to start these treatments. I felt a bit confused and pressured by the package I was offered since... this is not what I would consider a standard practice. There was no touching, no effort to truly test my range of motion. It felt like no matter what I had walked in with, I would have been offered X times/week at X price. My second and third sessions were around 5 minutes each. To be honest, I did not feel anything during the treatments as there was no actual treatment other than a small vibrating machine placed briefly on parts of my neck and spine where the x-ray revealed I had some minor issues. The doctor gushed about the machine, how much they love spines, and what the machine was doing. It was a bit awkward and I felt like this was more about the machine than it was providing an individualized and effective treatment. There was absolutely no touching (only the prongs of the machine, very gently), no adjustment, no lying on a table... no cracking... Very different indeed. Since the last session, I have sought out a chiropractor who has said that establishments who send patients for x-rays without real reasons (like an accident or some kind of trauma) are part of an impending loss of such rights (in some provinces, these requisitions need to go through your family doctor, which can take much longer). They also said in their medical training, these machines were only ever spoken of briefly and that they were not allowed in the medical arts building due to it being a sort of banned, pseudo-science. I write this not in an attempt to discredit science that is beyond my comprehension, but more of a warning to those who seek out chiropractic assistance in hopes of relief. There are many places and doctors who offer services. Make sure that if you are seeking out a specific type of treatment to ask lots of questions and keep an open mind yet critical eye out for what is being offered. Personally, based on my age, physical condition, and tolerance, I prefer a much more hands-on approach that may take 20-30 mins at a time, incorporates adjustments (yes, loud cracks and pops), provides some Q&A time about my specific needs, and offers quantitative comparisons of my baseline and progress each time I go.

Dr. Colin and staff are fantastic. I really enjoy the non invasive technique he uses because it seems like nothing much is happening until you stand up. The only adjective I can think to describe the feeling is "WOA." Go get your spine fixed by Dr. C!!

I have experienced leg and hip pain for about two years now. I have tried physiotherapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, and traditional chiropractic treatments. Nothing has worked. I recently learned of Dr. Crawford at spine active in Stonebridge and started seeing him about a month ago. Progress is slow but positive and on the bright side there’s a Pilate position that I haven’t been able to do for two years now that I was able to this past weekend. That for me is a huge success.

Dr. Crawford and the staff at Active Spine are phenomenal. My consultation was highly informative and Dr. Crawford used an extremely personalized approach, which felt as though he understood exactly how my back and neck were affecting me. He genuinely cares about the well-being of his patients and creates and adheres to a clear roadmap to full recovery. If you want to actually make your spine better for the long term (not just get a few cracks and some relief), go here and work with this team, you will not be disappointed. I couldn't be happier with Dr. Crawford and this clinic, thank you!

I had been taking treatment with active spine since month from now and am honestly delighted with the entire business. The office staff are amazing and friendly. Dr. Colin is a great guy who knows his stuff and is always professional. I highly recommend this place for any of your chiropractic needs.
