The human body is a complex system of interrelated parts. Every part works in harmony for complete and effective health. If one part is damaged or not operating effectively, this can cause a chain reaction of symptoms throughout the body, as it struggles to overcompensate for the system breakdown. Catching and correcting issues early on, keeps the network running smoothly.

Two years ago, I began to experience severe headaches and dizziness. Medical test results showed no cause or reason for these episodes. I was fortunate enough to have a Health Care practitioner who made me aware of laser therapy and the possible benefits. I was anxious to try anything to help with the “Ice-Pick” headaches. I hadn’t realized how debilitating they had become – I wasn’t even able to bend over to tie my shoes without intense pain. I started treatments in June, 2020 and by the third treatment I was noticing improvement. Within one month the symptoms were gone. Not only am I headache free, but my life is much better without the anxiety and anticipation of pain. I continued the treatments throughout the summer and the headaches and dizziness have never returned. I am thankful to Anne Marie at the Halifax Complementary Health Centre. I hope that others suffering with chronic pain are helped as I was.
Anne Marie has been my therapist for 10 years. I have been experiencing chronic back pain for as many years and her treatments have been critical in providing me with relief. I had difficulty keeping my spine aligned which aggravated my condition, but I was not comfortable undergoing chiropractic treatments. Anne Marie has been able to mobilize my back using very gentle, effective osteopathic methods providing instant relief. Anne Marie offers laser therapy treatment which has also been so effective for me that I finally have my life back. I highly recommend Anne Marie and her multifaceted treatment approach.
I’ve suffered severe sciatic nerve pain and numbness down my right leg every day of my life. I’ve tried physiotherapy, chiropractic care, massage therapy, acupuncture, yoga; everything, and nothing was working. I finally told my Medical Doctor I needed to see a specialist for this pain. I couldn’t take any more. My Doctor sent me to a pain management clinic, referred me for a CT scan of my spine and made an appointment for me to see a surgeon. The surgeon showed me the results of the CT scan; a bony spur was touching my sciatic nerve. This was the source of my numbness and pain. The Surgeon scheduled me for a nerve block but couldn’t guarantee it would work. It was a chance I had to take. The appointment time was a 6 month waiting period.
In the meantime, I heard about Anne Marie MacDonald. I scheduled an appointment with her. I knew the from the first time she treated me how much better I felt. After three months I was pain free. It was truly a miracle. I never did have the procedure for the nerve block. It’s two years later and I am still totally pain free. My words can’t express the profound healing I have experienced with Anne Marie and I would totally recommend her to everybody. She is truly amazing because when no one else could help me, she was my Miracle to being pain free from sciatica symptoms.
