I've been seeing Dr. Blair Schmaus for NUCCA care for 12+ years. After struggling for many years with severe back problems, being treated by Dr. Schmaus has made it so that I only have to be adjusted every 12-18 months. He and his staff are very welcoming and caring. I recommend them to everyone I know.

Dr. Jason Chesney is professional, kind and knowledgeable. I received adjustments on my jaw(TMJ), neck and back. I'm so thankful that I can now sleep in a bed instead of a La-Z-Boy recliner. I would highly recommend him!

What a great experience to feel tremendously more comfortable.
A great Dr. who gives you honesty from beginning to end.
Recommend anyone with neck pain!

“I have had migraines and/or bad headaches a couple times a week for years. I also had a right leg where my calf muscle would ache after activity and kept me awake at night. I thought the leg issue was from an old torn ligament and subsequent compensation. I honestly thought everyone got headaches, after all my mom does! I determined this year to get my health under control and decided after hearing about NUCCA from a friend I would address any alignment issues before pursuing a neurologist. I am glad I did. My headaches are 85% better. My leg, which turned out to be shorter, rarely aches. When my head hurts or my leg aches, I come in and sure enough I am out by a little bit. I am no longer sore or achy or tired all the time. Interestingly after I began to improve, I realized how much I had been compensating. I would got to sit in a chair “my usual way” and discovered how crooked I had been doing everything. Now I sit straight and stand straighter. Thank you.” S.S.

“I came to see Dr. Ongaro because my neck and back were in pain. I had a lot of headaches. After treatment I feel much better. I can’t believe how much my body has changed. My headache’s are gone, only once every couple of days. My neck and back pain is completely gone. I am very happy with my improvement since visiting Dr.Ongaro”. A.M.

“I am 51 years old with fibromyalgia. I have been on painkillers, anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants, you name it. I have also tried acupuncture, herbs, vitamins other chiropractors, massage therapy and have been in 3 intensive rehabilitation programs all in attempt to manage my ongoing pain. I was experiencing migraines, back pain and neck pain, was exhausted all the time and suffering with irritable bowel syndrome. With the ongoing support of Dr. Schmaus and his team, I have now been successfully able to manage my pain. I exercise daily and am able to lead an active fun-filled life again.” L.C.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your care during my treatment at your clinic. I was skeptical at first, since I have been seen by two previous types of chiropractic doctors and an acupuncturist, both of which were only temporary relief, but I decided to give it a try after recommendation from a wonderful dentist. I was in a car accident when I was 15, and went through the windshield, I shattered my left wrist, but little did I know the damage that had been done to my neck. I started to get severe headaches, and pinched nerves in my upper back about 13 years after the accident. I was living in Ontario during this time, and I went to the chiropractors, I thought it was just stress and the pain was something I would have to live with. I moved to Alberta in August 2008, and the pain was gradually getting worse, to the point where I was taking Advil on a regular basis. My boss suggested acupuncture, which I tried, but I started going more and more often with the results lasting less each time. I thought the pain might be contributed to my wisdom tooth, as it was on the right side of my head, and down my neck. The dentist Dr. Dekterov, asked if I had any previous injuries, I explained the car accident, she immediately told me she wanted to meet with a doctor who may be able to help me, that is how I met Dr. Ongaro. Words cannot express the difference I have seen in my life in just 5 weeks, and to think I was going to just live with this pain. I never thought it was related to my injury when I was young, since the pain started so much later in life. I am now off all medication, I used to take anti-depressants and sleeping pills on a daily basis, and I am now drug free. I have no pain in my back or neck, no pinched nerves and I can sleep without muscle relaxants. The office visits were interesting, seeing the changes in my posture, the doctors and staff were friendly and helpful. Thank you very much for giving me a pain free life again!” K.W.

“I visited “traditional” chiro’s for bone cracking adjustments for over 10 years. While cracking relieved the pain for short term, I still had frequency as often as 3 times per week. This only offered symptom relief at best. After the first visit with Dr. Schmaus, I wasn’t impressed at all for the lack of crack, lack of impact, etc….until I got out of the truck an hour later and kept hearing ratchet sounds for a week as my entire body adjusted to his ‘minor’ corrections. I now (for the past 5 years) see Dr.Schmaus less than 5 times a year and have better balance, sleep, mood and health. It sounds too good to be true..but you won’t be sorry if you give it a try! Especially if you’ve tried everything else.” S.K.

“I had extreme pressure in my head and spine, terrible headaches, wildly fluctuating heart rate and blood pressure, cement hard and painful muscles, constant anxiety and angst, constant fatigue and weakness, difficulty sleeping, unable to lie down particularly on my back. After treatment all of the above problems have been significantly reduced and most of them alleviated. The pressure on my brain stem is gone and I feel better than when I was a teenager. At 61, that’s GREAT!” S.B.E.

“I had been suffering with headaches for years after having my jaw reconstructed. The TMJ symptoms, headaches, neck pain and tense jaw grew to the point where my quality of life diminished. That is when I heard about NUCCA. Dr. Ongaro’s treatment was amazingly gentle and precise and life is good again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.” L.W.

“What a positive experience! All the staff was pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful. I was unfamiliar and apprehensive about NUCCA. The procedure was thoroughly explained and the supportive care was exceptional. Although I consider my symptoms rather minor compared to other patients, I have experienced a drastic improvement in my quality of life, headache, posture, hip and ankle pain have all improved.” L.S.

“March 23, 2004 I accepted a dinner invitation from very good friends that was about to change my life. They told me about their visit and treatments with Dr. Schmaus. I saw first hand the results. Like many, the cost scared me. I thought about it for two days and decided – what did I have to lose? I figured I was worth it, so I called and booked my appointments. I came to Dr. Schmaus May 4, 2004 with no expectations. The next day I walked out after my first treatment and for the first time in twenty-seven years there was no pain in my upper back. All day I kept expecting the pain to come back with a vengeance the way it always did after I saw a chiropractor. It didn’t. I am glad I took the chance of trying something new. I know the rest of my back will get better. Dr. Schmaus has given me a winning hand and my life back. Look out world- here I come!” B.G.

“Dr. Ongaro’s treatment is amazing! She not only resolved low back pain issues that had been progressively worsening over several months, but she has assisted considerably in the management of sciatic pain that I’ve been putting up with for the past six years. The low back pain, which was causing a loss of mobility and flexibility, as well as decreasing enjoyment of my favourite activities, has been totally resolved. I have my flexibility back and can lift heavy boxes with impunity! The sciatic pain has been markedly improved with a pain and flare-up frequency reduction of at least 80%. When my leg starts to hurt too often or my low back complains, all I need to do is book and appointment with her and I know I’ll receive top-notch treatment and long-lasting, drug free relief.” L.U.

“I had headaches and hip & lower back pain for years, ever since I was a young girl. I went to other chiropractors and doctors but it never worked. Always in pain. After treatment I felt great and only had to come back once before my six month visit. This is the greatest I have felt in 38 years. Thank you so much. I exercise and walk with no pain and it’s great.” D.D.

“I had been in a car accident and was experiencing headaches and back pain. I had tried a couple different doctors but nothing was helping my pain. I was referred to Dr.Ongaro by a friend. After treatment my pain went away. I feel much better and only need a repeat visit once or twice a year.” J.K.
