Chinook Chiropractic & Massage Clinic

Dr Scot Ladell is an excellent chiropractor. This is a good clinic with all of the services you need. I would not look any further for a chiropractor. There is no time wasted on phoney treatments just very straight forward and good quality doctors.

They over charged me, didn’t return my calls and wrongfully billed my insurance company extra dates and an extra $ 50 charge in poor math. After my recovery of the many places I went, this was the worst. Full potential has better treatments and quality.

Until two weeks ago, I’d never been to a chiropractor in my life. I’ve always been scared and creeped out by the treatment concept. However, based on a recent injury and suggestion by a physio that I see a chiro, here I am. I wouldn’t have had a clue where to start looking for one that I’d trust. Thankfully, a friend who has received effective treatment by one of the clinic’s practitioners, Dr. Scot Ladell, recommended that I try him out. I actually sent a few friends to him based on my other friend’s recommendation and they both had rave reviews, further encouraging me to see him.
So far, two thumbs up for Dr. Ladell. He plays sports like I do and shares the same mindset, which is «Hurry up and fix me so I can get back at it.» As Sylvie C. said, there’s no pussy-​footing around. I’ve had two adjustments so far and while I realize my issue will take time to resolve, I was already performing better the day after the first treatment than I had when I injured myself the week before. Adjustment two made even more of a difference.
My appointments have not started on time, but if Dr. Ladell is treating his other patients the way I’m being treated, then he is completely forgiven. My experience is that he takes his time to ensure all of my questions are answered and that I’m comfortable with what’s going on. I do not feel rushed and despite the fact that I was a total drama queen during my first appointment, he made me feel okay about it.
Front reception staff are very personable and I like that music is playing throughout the entire clinic, including Dr. Ladell’s treatment room. Parking on the west side of Chinook Mall, just outside of The Bay entrance, is really handy.

I’ve been going to this clinic since I was 8 back in the days that Dr. D.K. Ladell was running the show. I’m the third generation of my family to go to this clinic. The adjustments are good and solid. None of this pussy-​footing around that other clinics do.
How would I know this if I’ve been going here since way-​back-​when you may ask? When I was in university in Ottawa I had some studying related back/​neck problems and tried to find a good chiro there. Trying chiropractors looking for a good solid adjustment was very hard. Not only this, a person generally wants a doc with a good bed-​side manner too, no? After numerous attempts, lets say I had to settle on a not-​so-​bad chiro out east until I got back home.
Anyhow — a couple of years ago (going on 4??) Dr. Carson Smith took over the biz from Ladell Sr. In doing so, he updated and expanded the office space, took on better clinical staff and expanded the services they now provide. Pretty damn cool to see.
Despite all these changes, the level of service and treatment has remained constant, if not improved. Dr. Carson is vibrant, full of helpful information and up to speed on the latest studies in the industry. With a bubbly ‘table-​side’ manner and all the services to help his clients holistically at his fingertips, this guy basically rocks it.
I’ve given several personal referrals to friends, family & co-​workers to this clinic and have heard all good things. If you are new to town or new to chiropractic treatment — check him out.
