Testimonials

​"About 15 months ago walking into downtown Newcastle was a painful and slow walk.  Periodically I had to lift a leg up to give temporary relief from the knee pain.  Several years ago I had success with acupuncture and felt it was time to get that kind of treatment again.  The treatments by Dr. Krista did help and she suggested a monthly treatment as proactive protection.  Our family Autumn get-away is located close to Barry's Bay and a highlight of that weekend is a group climb up "the mountain".  In the recent past, this climb has been impossible due to the steep climb involved. This year, I made it to the top, a tad breathless, but I made it.  The knee was tired and sore back once we were down at the bottom of the hill, but had recovered by dinner time.  Walks downtown are common and pain-free for me nowadays, thank you Newcastle Chiropractic & Health Centre!"

- Patient: Mr. K.C.
"Thank you Dr. Jennifer Flindall (Chiropractor) and Dr. Amy Henehan (Naturopath) for piecing me back together from head to toe in just a matter of days! Thanks to these two extraordinarily smart individuals, I went from crying, wheelchair-bound with back-spasms and on-the-verge-of-fainting, to a fully functioning, able-to-dance, back at work, productive human being again in the span of just 5 days! Thank you to these two for being available on the daily to fix me when I thought I'd be in pain forever, and for teaching me new ways to move and stay relaxed so as not to let this happen again! Cupping, daily acupuncture and chiropractic adjustments, and two doctors who care...I thank you from the bottom of my heart (and my lower middle back)!"

​- Patient: Mrs. L.M.H
"I have been a patient of Dr. Klawitter's for well over a year and have seen her regularly for treatments to aid with a serious back injury. She is one of the most professional, caring and genuinely empathetic health care providers I have worked with. Her treatments are effective and have successfully aided with my pain management and healing. I strongly recommend Dr. Klawitter to any individual seeking effective chiropractic treatments, the highest level of professionalism and a truly caring healthcare provider."    

- Patient: Ms. A.S.G.
​"My weekly running kilometers were taking a toll on my feet, knees and legs.  Dr. Krista Klawitter (Chiropractor) was my fifth attempt at finding a professional that could help me.  Being a runner herself she understood my passion for running.  Her expertise and care was just what I needed.  At 62 years young I not only completed a full marathon (42.2km) in the fall - I also completed the Dopey Challenge two months later which was a total of 78.3km over 4 days!  Newcastle Chiropractic & Health Centre you simply are the best!"

​- Patient: Mrs. M.M.
"My sciatica was exacerbated by having been rear-ended in an automobile accident.  I decided to move my chiropractic care from Toronto to Newcastle and chose  Dr. Klawitter.  Not only is she well-trained in chiropractic care, but she also is quite attentive to her patient.  She knows how physical activity affects muscles.  During the first year and a half I made gradual progress with weekly treatments of acupuncture and adjustments.  I extended treatments to every other week and continued bi-weekly for another year.  I now have monthly visits for maintenance and to guard against any relapse.  And I have resumed horseback riding on my palomino!"

- Patient: Mr. E.J.B.
"I am 73 years of age and have lived with chronic low back pain for 20 years, specifically lumbar spinal stenosis.  After two months of regular treatments from Dr. Krista Klawitter I am pain free.  Thank you!"
