Dr. Ansel Updegrove Chiropractor Nanaimo

Dr. Ansel is not a none cruncher! His technique is very gentle. I had a bad Sciatica issue and he worked with me and after a few visits I was more comfortable. The treatments over the months was successful.

After having to head-on MVAs in 9 months, I was left with lots of body aches, especially neck and neurological issues. Dr Ansel has been a huge part of my recovery. Recently we checked my balance before and then again after my adjustment. I went from standing on 1 leg for less than 3 seconds to being able to complete 30 seconds, it was absolutely amazing to see the difference. Huge thanks to this man

I could hardly walk when I walked through Dr.Ansel’s door. I have a herniated disk plus a severely bulged disk in my lower back that were hitting nerves causing severe pain and numbness in my hip and left leg into my foot. I was hunched over and couldn’t put much weight on that leg. After an MRI the doctor referred me to a surgeon.
Shortly after this, I was in my doctors office one afternoon and a very nice lady noticed that I was in rough shape. She told me about how Dr.Ansel had helped her when she had herniated a disk in her back. I figured what the hell , give it a shot.
After a few sessions with Dr. Ansel, I noticed I started standing up straighter and the pain was getting progressively less. I’m now walking normally, in very little pain, and still getting better every day. Thinking about going back to work soon. ?

Thanks Dr.Ansel

Dr. Ansel and his team were amazing. Right from the booking to coming into the office. His receptionist is fantastic and was so nice to chat with. The treatment was exceptional. I have received mixed results with a previous chiropractor and the actual result post treatment has made me a believer in the Nucca technique. Dr. Ansel explains everything and the rational behind why he is doing what he is doing as he goes. He shows using muscle testing where things are going wrong and after the adjustment redoes the testing to see if there are any results. The results that I achieved with one adjustment were phenomenal!!!!! Today is day 2 after my adjustment and I feel better than I have in years. Pretty amazing. I highly recommend his clinic and his skill, expertise, and professionalism to anyone looking to regain their health and feel great again. Thank you!!!!

Dr Updegrove is not your stereotypical Chiropractor (Neck cracking). I'm a skeptic and change is hard but after many conversations I finally went to see him for help for Crohn's Disease. He is gentle in his approach and takes more of a holistic- whole body look at your health, habits and lifestyle. I thought that this was "as good as I would get" with my health, until I started working with Dr. A. He has taught me to be open to change and the importance by improving your connection to your central nervous system to allow other organs to begin to heal from the inside out. Because of his whole body approach he recommended me to other respected practitioners and this approach has changed my world. I have more energy, I'm calmer and I feel fantastic! My gut has never been happier! I am working towards being free from all medications. I highly recommend those to step out of their comfort zone and seek a different way with respect to your health.
