I must say that I was somewhat skeptical about the whole experience however, after being treated by Dr. Rodwins team, I have once again been able to start jogging again and the pain I have been experiencing in my left hip and knee have magically disappeared. Not only that, I have tremendous flexibility, my posture has greatly improved, and I have more stamina in my workouts
Kudos to the team and recommendations, I have no problem giving to anyone that I feel would benefit from better health and wellness.

I have been a patient at Back to Health Wellness C...

I have been a patient at Back to Health Wellness Centre for almost fourteen years. I transferred my patient file there after moving from Hamilton. I was recovering from spinal trauma suffered playing contact sports at the time. I had four herniated discs and had aggravated the three other herniations that I had from a previous injury. I had terrible plantar fasciitis to the point where I would jump if someone even touched my foot. That was my starting point.

Since that time I have had a multitude of sports injuries, wear and tear conditions, one car accident (I hope that man learned not to drink then get in his car again), and a major work injury that forced me to miss almost two years at my job.

Dr. Rodwin and the staff at Back to Health Wellness Centre have seen me through all these injuries. They have never treated me as a number. They have always taken the time to listen to me. They have been kind, patient and compassionate to a fault. They have found a way to get me in when emergencies have arisen and I called at the last minute. They work as a team and were clear that my health was a priority.

Dr. Rodwin is amazing. In addition to the fantastic health care that I get from her she has also provided me with dietary and supplement suggestions. She has created exercise plans for me that have brought me from a non-runner to having now completed four half marathons. She has never told me to stop doing something (rugby, running, jiu jitsu, kung fu), but has made suggestions as to how I can continue doing the things I love in a different way. She has suggested alternatives as well as additions to my training that have allowed me to continue being active on my terms.

I have said with all sincerity that Dr. Rodwin is the reason that I am still walking. My spine and feet were very messed up. I was taking Robaxicet eight times a day when I started seeing her and was in constant pain. I don't need any of that now. When I had my work injury she made sure that I was treated properly. She helped me with forms and phone calls that needed to be made. She supported me personally and medically. There are not enough words to describe how amazing Dr. Rodwin is with her patients.

Back to Health and Wellness is a fantastic clinic. I regularly refer people to them. It has been almost fourteen years that I have been a patient there. I look forward to the next fourteen.

It is hard to put into words the difference that the team at Back to Health has made on my life. At only age 22, you never really want to think that you have to go to a chiropractor, or that your body is already starting to get to the point that it limits your ability to live. Due to years of dance, sports and jobs that involve constant standing or sitting, my body had already taken a huge beating and gotten into a number of bad habits. After only a few shorts month with the team however, I feel 100% on most days, as opposed to feeling 60% on a good day. When you first go in, the staff immediately takes the time to explain the whole process, while at the same time being incredibly honest about the process ahead of you and how it will effect your body. After this summer, the team has made me not only feel amazing every day, but also made me knowledgeable about why I WASN'T feeling well before, and have made me aware of how I can avoid further injuring myself. I am nearing my re-assessment and feeling very confident about self care as I go forward after this summer. For ANYONE experience chronic pain in any area, I would, and do, suggest back to health. A friendly, loving team who knows the knowledge front and back. Thank you so much for everything you have done for me ladies!

I was recommended by a friend to see Dr Rodwin after I had torn ligaments in my ankle when trail running. I am so pleased with the progress that has occurred since my first appointment. Dr Rodwin treated my ankle with acupuncture and active release. I did not realize that these treatment modalities could be used on my ankle and was so happy to see the progress and assistance it provided! Not only was the treatment incredibly beneficial but Dr Rodwin is wealth of knowledge in this field and always presents with such professionalism and provides excellent client care. From providing me with education, and completing the treatment and care, my ankle is getting back to a healthy state so I can resume the activities I enjoy.

I found Dr. Rodwin s emergency Chiropractic services and she made time for me late one Saturday night for my initial assessment and treatment. I threw my back out squatting and thought I was going to be stuck on my back for the next three weeks but I was about to be travelling and couldn t afford to do so. I didn t know what to expect, but after my first treatment Dr. Rodwin had me up walking again. I saw her four days in a row before hopping on my flight and I don t think that I would have been able to do so without her.

She has continued to treat me regularly and has helped me return to normal activities and to improve my overall quality of life. I thought that living with back pain was normal and just something that I had to live with but with Dr. Rodwin s help Ive become virtually pain free.

I have seen Dr. Rodwin and her staff for over 20 years. I am a long distance runner and I credit the fact that I have never had any serious injuries to the work of Dr. Rodwin and her staff. I recently got new orthodics from Dr. Rodwin that fit perfectly from day one! Running in my new orthodics along with new shoes is amazing.

Good morning one & all

Good morning one & all
i have had the pleasure of being a patient of Dr. Rodwin''s and her multidisciplinary team for many years now. The Back to Health approach to health and wellness is pretty phenomenal-the care is professional as well as personalized and confidential. Incorporating multiple disciples as previously mentioned enables one to have a combination of chiropractics, ART, acupuncture, orthotics, massage therapy, naturopathic and most recently physiotherapy. Samantha Kelly-Feagan is wonderful in her kind and knowledgeable approach. She offers a multi-focal approach as well including dry needling ...then sends you home with a detailed and computer friendly at home program which enables you to continue with your treatment in the comfort of your own home. Dr Rodwin & Co thank you for being proactive and attentive to your patient population's wants and needs

I have had multiple surgeries on both my shoulders which has affected my daily life, as well as what I can do in the gym and playing sports. For the past 10 years I haven't been able to do any type of pushing exercise without being in pain for a week afterwards. After 3 ART treatments with Andrew, I am now working out pain free. He is very knowledgeable and I highly recommend his services. Great job!

I have been a patient of Dr. Rodwin for a number of years. She has always been responsive to my needs (degenerative disc disease in my neck, low back pain, frozen shoulder). She will book me in for "emergency sessions" right away, such as this September when I "put my back out" the day before I was leaving for an out of country vacation. She saw me immediately for ART (Active Release Technique) and an adjustment. Two weeks ago , a truck hit the back of my car. Two hours later, I was in her office for treatment. Dr. Rodwin goes above and beyond for her patients. She plays an integral role in my overall health journey. Always a five star experience! Thank you Dr. Rodwin

I found myself crippled with back pain on a Saturday and had to be in Toronto for a week for work on Monday. I googled emergency chiropractor....and I stumbled upon Back to Health. Dr. Rodwin invited me into her home for an adjustment and I couldn't be more thankful. I'm now in Toronto on a business trip and feel sooo much better. I'm not sure how I would have survived this trip without her help. She not only helped ease my pain but discussed some of the areas of concern that she saw in her assessment. She provided me tips for my travel. She was thorough and very generous with her time. Can t thank her enough.

I found Dr. Rodwin via a quick Google search; her fabulous online reviews really lived up to the hype! From a minor incident, I ended up having terrible acute lower back pain, I was completely crooked, and could barely walk. Upon hearing of my back pain, the friendly Back to Health staff booked me in for an emergency appointment within the hour of my call. Dr. Rodwin was friendly and attentive to my needs. After just one session with some active release chiropractic work, I was already starting to feel a bit better. It was the Friday before the August long weekend when I first saw her, and I was rather concerned that I would be left for 3 days without chiropractic work. Dr. Rodwin then offered that I come to her house on Saturday and Sunday. I am feeling so much and I attribute most of my pain relief to her excellent work.

I am so thankful I found Back to Health Wellness!! I have had tingling in my leg and foot from a pinched nerve consistently for more than 6 years. I visited numerous practitioners in the past with no improvement, but after just one active release session and adjustment with Dr. Rodwin the tingling subsided to a faint whisper of what it has been since 2012. The level of care that Dr. Rodwin and the Back to Health team puts into their patients is incredible.

I have been Dr Rodwin s patient since 1998. I was lucky that she was on call for, chiropractic emergency, one weekend. After a car accident and seeing another chiropractor, for 8 months, I was in a lot of pain and feeling very discouraged. I had no prior experience and did not realize there were differences in treatment, until I saw Dr. Rodwin.
I walked out, after 1 treatment with no pain and feeling hopeful.
Of course, it took more adjustments to get my spine aligned. But, I have never had a problem, like that time, in all these years.

Dr Rodwin s compassion, knowledge, experience and sense to pin point exactly where to target treatments are the reasons, at 70, I will not change.

Over the years she has helped my dear Labrador with her hips. She help me find chiropractor in Whistler, for my son, who changed his outcome to.

I can not say enough about how I appreciate Dr Rodwin.

I have been going to Dr Rodwin for many years to help with a lower back problem. I have incidences where I throw my back out and she always manages to "straighten" me out. I don't know what I would do without her. At the end of last year, at her recommendation, I had a gait analysis done. I got orthotics, and since then, the back issues I have had are far less frequent. Who would have thought that in the end, a big contributor to pulling my back out was entwined with how I was walking. Anyhow, Barbara is honest and knowledgeable and I would highly recommend anyone with back issues to give her a visit.

I have been coming to the Back to Health Wellness Centre for the past five years and it has changed my life! I was an avid runner and had injured myself pretty bad, and it was only thanks to Dr Barbara and team that I was able to go from not running for a year-to completing a 10km. I have now been able to run regularly pain free, something I didn't think I could do awhile ago. Back to Health Wellness is full of talented, knowledgeable and giving staff. My family and I love participating in the yearly Christmas give away to local charity, and picking up tidbits of self care and well being with all the info boards. It is a fantastic centre and my family and I are so grateful it is in our city!

I have been treated for a variety of back-related issues by Dr. Rodwin and her team of specialists since 2005. Most recently, after a fall in March 2019, I sought ART and chiropractic care from Dr. Rodwin on my left shoulder. With ultrasound results indicating a small tear in my rotator cuff, I consulted with an orthopaedic surgeon and received a recommendation for surgery. I am delaying a decision about surgery until the fall. I am confident that with continued chiropractic, ART, increased physiotherapy complemented by at home exercise will improve the condition and help me avoid months of recovery from surgery. Through the exceptional care provided by Dr. Rodwin and Andrew Bouchier, the improvement in flexibility, movement and strength has been exception in just a short period of time. Keeping my family physician apprised and receiving her full support, leads me to anticipate improved diagnostics from the planned ultrasound in the fall.

I saw Dr. Rodwin for several years for a variety of issues, and have nothing but great things to say. The entire staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and Dr. Rodwin helped me deal with various injuries that came up over the years. With her help, I was able to start running after nagging knee pain had kept me sidelined for nearly 5 years. I have also seen the clinic s RMTs, and have gotten orthotics through them as well. Without exception, the treatment was great. I have recommended Back to Health to several friends and co-workers over the years, and will continue to do so. I am just sorry I am no longer in Ottawa if I ever move back, they will be one of the first calls I make. Thank you to the entire Back to Health team for providing such excellent service!

I am a patient of Dr Rodwin s for the last twelve years. She has helped me with many health problems and because of her care I m glad to say I m very active and no more pain. She is a wonderful caring person with magic hands...I tell her that after the treatments when I notice a change immediately after.

I ve been to other chiropractors but she is the best. As a matter of fact my husband has been a patient of hers too. Dr Rodwin has helped him with his back problems and I can contest he is walking so much better after many years of pain. Once Dr Rodwin got him to thinking of getting orthotics and which he purchased, he could not believe the difference...thank you Dr Rodwin for that. By the way I also got orthotics after many years of waiting and I could not believe how walking was so much easier.

Also Dr Rodwin introduced me to vitamins. I would never of thought that vitamins and minerals could be so beneficial to the body...thank you again for that Dr Rodwin!

Since I ve been seeing Dr Rodwin she has helped me with back pain, shoulder and most recently with readjustment to my jaw. I thought I had a cavity until I mentioned it to her. Within minutes I could not believe the pain was gone.

When I had 2 total knee replacements she would see me and treat me. Which helped with healing.

The staff are all very friendly and take good care of you by seeing that your needs are met. In finishing I would strongly suggest to tell your friends of the services Dr Rodwin does. As a matter of fact it is my girlfriend that mentioned it to me and I m forever great full

I received incredible same day chiropractic treatment after waking up in acute lower back pain in mid 2016. After the first appointment, my pain and movement was like night and day, and after a few more follow ups, I was good as new. Cannot recommend Back to Health and Dr Rodwin enough!

I booked my first appointment with Dr. Rodwin to deal with an ankle injury related to running. At that time I also had severe chronic hip and knee pain that was treated for nearly four years by my family MD, a sports MD and various physiotherapists with no significant improvement. Dr. Rodwin solved my ankle injury but the true revelation was her treatment of my chronic pain. After a few months I was able to run up staircases, sleep without waking up due to hip pain, and generally forget I ever had chronic joint pain issues. Dr. Rodwin s treatments have made an incredible difference in my life!
If you re an injured athlete, a runner, an active person with discomfort related to aging , or just experiencing unexplainable pain that no one seems able to treat, go and see Dr. Rodwin she s sure to set you straight (pun intended) and on your way to doing whatever it is that makes you happy, healthy and active. In my books, Dr. Rodwin rules!

I have been seeing Keri-Lyn for custom orthotics for 4 years now. Every year I go in for my annual appointment and Keri-Lyn assesses my feet and I get my new orthotics that I can slip in and out of my shoes, or my custom orthotic sandals, which make all the difference. My feet issues have been resolved and Keri-Lyn is very helpful and knowledgeable when it comes to feet and knee pain. I would not hesitate to refer anyone to the clinic.

A few weeks ago, I woke up in incredibly pain. I could barely stand up straight, I had to think very carefully about whether I wanted to change positions once I had decided to sit or stand, and breathing was extremely painful. And yet, I still didn't do anything.

You see, I had a car accident several years ago, once where I injured my pelvis and my hips, suffered a concussion, and just generally learned to live with the pain. It comes and goes and I an usually able to tough it out. Not this time.

After some reasearch on a Saturday night, I found Dr. Rodwin who offered emergency care. I call the number and Dr. Rodwin herself called me back, talked to me about the issue, and asked whether i thought I needed to see her that night. It was 9 pm at night and she was willing to help someone who had never been a client. I wasn t prepared to do that, so we made an appointment for the next morning (which was a Sunday, and still not typical hours).

It was visit that wasn't exactly pain-free, but it was the first glimmer of hope I'd see in over a week. We agreed to see each other 3 more times that week and then twice the follow week. By session 3, I bound in, essentially flopped on the table, and there was no hesitation in movement.

Dr. Rodwin had taken an extremely difficult time and made it easier by her compassion and her skills. She answered many questions (turns out my ribs had been displaced and I just don't know how that happened) and that my feet also needed some care. So we're working on maintenance and orthotics next.

Dr. Rodwin is able to help you with whatever you need. And when I finally go the mid-back release, the 'crack' that most chiro patients know and crave, it felt like a weight had finally been release.

You NEED to go visit Dr. Rodwin. I will continuing to do so. Thank you for helping me get back together again. You're better than all the King's Horses and all the King's Men!

I have been to Back to Health for massage, naturopathy and acupuncture and am most impressed with their services. Besides offering professional and quality service, all staff members are warm and inviting, giving the clinic a friend/family sort of feel. Their RMT, Ashley, is God sent and leaves me feeling twenty pounds lighter after each session! She has helped me through a number of injuries and continually gives me 120% of her efforts. I highly recommend a visit!

I began seeing Barbara 6 weeks ago. There has been drastic in my back health. I suffer from severe planters fasciitis. Barbara performed a complete physical assessment and fitted me for customize orthotics. This was an orthotic experience like no other I ve had before. Footmaxx is the way to go. I no longer have foot, hip and neck pain like I used to. I strongly recommend you come check it out for yourself. I had orthotics for two years but never wore them because they weren t comfortable.This made my foot health a much bigger problem. Barbara has been able to correct a lot in her short time working on me.

I have been suffering from a misaligned spine for years. Back in April I again had a floating rib and was in a lot of pain. My Chiropractor was not working because of Covid 19. I suffered for another month and realized that I had to find help. A search through the internet lead me to Dr. Rodwin. Not only did she work miracles with my realignment but also performed Active Release on my shoulder and neck.
I feel like a new woman and finally I believe that I with Dr. Rodwin's help may actually be able to overcome my back issues once and for all. Thank you so much.

I highly recommend Dr. Rodwin and her team at Back to health Wellness. They are accommodating and always find time to fit me in when my neck gets bad; seriously, Dr. Rodwin is like a miracle worker. I've recently started to see the physiotherapist as well, Samantha - and I'm blown away at her knowledge and expertise. She's extremely thorough and set me up with a great plan to address the root cause of my pain once and for all. I do my exercises through an App, which is so easy to use and helpful.

About 15 years ago I became a long distance runner and was thoroughly enjoying my new hobby. After a couple of years of high mileage (at least for me!) I developed some foot and calf muscle pain. It stayed with me for a year or so and was bad enough that I was considering not running anymore and finding a new hobby. I had already tried orthotics from another company and they did not solve the problem. A friend referred me to Keri-Lyn at the Back to Health Clinic and from the moment I started using the orthotics, I was able to get back to running and am still doing so today. Their reputation as miracle workers is well deserved. Thanks for all of your ongoing support!

My name is Iryna Abramova. Dr. Barbara Rodwin, Barbara, and I are part of the same dragon boat team. We have known each other and trained together since 2013.

In May, at the beginning of our training season I mentioned to Barbara that I was experiencing a lack of energy. I felt weak, tired and not able to push myself at my training routine as I used to.

Barbara asked me if I had been taking any supplements. Once she learned and reviewed my supplements, she recommended adding Advanced B Complex and BCAA to my diet and daily routine. As soon as I started taking the supplements, what a difference they made to my performance! I have been so pleased with my results that I have been raving about BCAA to all my friends and colleagues!

I am extremely happy and privileged to know Dr. Barbara Rodwin as she is super friendly and always ready to help and provide advice.

I had an old meniscus injury back in 2013, but the pain had subsided since then.

In June 2015, I had an issue with my right knee when all of a sudden, I had a hard time walking. This happened after my regular weight training, dragon boat practice, and hike in the Gatineau s , I could no longer walk as I had a sharp pain in my right knee. The pain was so uncomfortable and alarming that I called Barbara asking her if she could take a look at my knee and let me know what I need to do. Dr. Barbara Rodwin was so compassionate and responsive that she made arrangements to see me the same day at her home. She assessed my knee, did the Active Release treatment (ART), adjusted my knee, gave me a knee brace, and suggested to ice the knee for 20minutes several times a day. Following that first treatment, Barbara followed up on my recovery and progress performing the ART treatments at whatever locations we were training at, the Rideau Canoe Club or Ottawa River Black Rapids. Barbara has enabled me to function properly until the MRI was taken to determine I require a scoping procedure that has been scheduled the end of October.

I'm sincerely happy to know and train with Dr. Barbara Rodwin as she is an amazing person and doctor who is compassionate, full of information and advice and always ready to help!

In 2011 I seriously pulled my back out. I couldn't even walk for 2 weeks. I slowly got better but I was in pain everyday for over 2 years. I finally decided to try a chiropractor and luckily I found Dr. Barbara Rodwin at Back to Health Wellness Centre in Ottawa. After a thorough assessment and some treatments unbelievably, within 2 months my back pain was gone and I am back at the gym. I couldn't be happier. Very knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommended.

I have been a patient of Dr. Rodwin's for over 22 ...

I have been a patient of Dr. Rodwin's for over 22 years at Back to Health for various issues. My latest issue started in February of 2015. I hurt my right knee. I had a MRI and it was determined that I had a sprain, tear of my meniscus with some Osteoarthritis.
With my permission, Dr. Rodwin obtained a copy of my MRI results and started my treatment right away in March of 2015. My treatment included: the Interferential Current Therapy machine, Active Release Technique for scar tissue in the knee and adjustments to the foot, knee, hip and lower back {due to my compensation mechanisms) at a frequency of twice a week for a few weeks then 1 visit per week until I had an appointment with an Orthopedic Surgeon.
As it was taking a long time for me to get an appointment with the surgeon and I'm a daily dog walker, Dr Rodwin fitted me for a knee brace. It was suggested for my trips to Florida in the fall and Mexico in February, to purchase a good pair of water shoes when swimming in the pool and to wear the knee brace in the water as well. As I purchase yearly and wear orthotics daily {from Keri-Lyn Dudgeon at Back to Health Wellness Centre: she is very knowledgeable!}, I put my older orthotics in my water shoes. This really helped to stabilize my knee.
Here's my knee 16 months later. I had full right knee replacement June 15th (I waited 16 months). In 10 days my staples will be removed (the nurse counted 26), then I will start physiotherapy. I did see a physiotherapist at the Kemptville Hospital who gave me exercises to do while recouping. 7 different exercises starting with 10 repetitions graduation up to 20 repetitions.
Once I complete my physiotherapy I will be back at Back to Health for Dr. Rodwin to work her magic on any newly formed scar tissue to avoid future problems with my knee, to adjust my knee, foot, and hip and lower back!
I am one very, very happy patient of Back to Health. Dr. Rodwin is truly amazing. Keri-Lyn takes exceptional care of my feet. The registered massage therapists have successfully taken care of my other issues and I have just recently become a patient of Dr. Van Zeyl, Naturopathic Doctor. The team at Back to Health has truly been dedicated to my wellness over the years.
One stop health care.

My family has been going to Dr. Rodwin for around 20 years. She has helped to reverse many ailments and helped relieve pain using manipulations, ART, acupuncture needles and good advice. She is helping my daughter with TMJ, Apraxia of Speech and flat feet. After we took our daughter to have her first chiropractic and cranial therapy treatment she said one of her first words so clearly, we just couldn t believe it. It was shocking and amazing and we knew that we had to continue bringing her to see Dr. Rodwin. She has helped my husband and me with lower back pain, wrist tendinitis, ankle sprains, knee injury, SI joint, hip issues and more.

It is a pleasant setting in the office. Dr. Rodwin is caring and pleasant to deal with. Her staff is very nice, especially Debbie who has gone out of her way to make my young daughter comfortable and willing to come to get adjustments. Debbie would talk about Minnie Mouse, who my daughter adored and she has even given her gifts when she comes for treatments. Dr. Rodwin would have princess stickers for our little girl. All this helped our little girl and we are truly grateful. We found our little angels in that office.

In the summer of 2005 I found that I was having trouble with my Achilles. I went to the Yellow Pages looking for a place where I could possibly get some orthotics and called this place with this long name - Back To Health Wellness Centre. That s when I met Keri-Lyn. She informed me that I did indeed need orthotics, but also suggested that I make an appointment in order to be assessed by Dr. Barbara Rodwin. I was hesitant as I thought all chiropractors were quacks, but I decided to go for it.

I was assessed by Dr. Rodwin and she suggested that I see her twice a week to start. I thought maybe it was a big money grab. Anyway, luckily I took her advice and have never looked back.

Dr. Barbara Rodwin has been the person that I have consulted when I have any health issues since September 2005. She has recommended my naturopath (Maureen McDonald), my dentist (Dr. Chevalier), and my gynaecologist (Dr. Joyce Buckley). I consider her to be my prime health care provider. I see her once a week. I have only visited my family doctor maybe 5 times in the past 10 years. Back To Health Wellness Centre deals with the whole person mind, body and soul. She and Andrew (ART massage therapist here at the clinic) continue to work on my right hip so that I can continue to run. I cannot express in words the gratitude that I have for finding this very special Chiropractor and health care provider. Thank You for all that you do. I look forward to continuing my journey with the Back To Health Wellness Centre team.

I have been visiting dr Rodwin at Back to Health Wellness Centre for about 4 months now. I initially went to see dr Rodwin because I had a shoulder injury and had undergone physio therapy but the pain though less, was still there. I sit for long hours at work on a computer and have had bad shoulder and back pain. Dr Rodwin did an assesment and recomended I get ART with Chiropractic adjustments and also see Jessica for massage therapy. The treatment with Jessica helped me a lot with my pain.

Dr Rodwin did some tests and said I needed orthotics due to some issues in my feet that also caused my spine to be misaligned.
I have been under treatment for all that and have improved so much under their care. I still have some pains but I am feeling much better now. The improvement was quick.

I highly recommend dr Rodwin and the team at Back to Health wellness Centre. You should let them know all your symptoms and they will help you improve.

Dr. Rodwin has treated my family for 15 years. She and her staff are always courteous, professional and knowledgeable. She has treated us for a variety of ailments including TMJ, sprains, concussions, sports related injuries, ear infections, back issues, tendonitis, and muscle strains to name a few. We also see her on a regular basis for maintenance care. As my children have grown up with Chiropractic care, they know when they need to be re-aligned! We also take advantage of the other experts in her office; through massages,orthotics and naturopathy. We recieve excellent care from Back To Health and recommend their centre to everyone!

Excellent service and great clinic.

Excellent service and great clinic.
I started my treatments with Dr. Rodwin almost a year ago. This was my first experience with chiropractic treatment and I am truly impressed. It worked wonders on my lower back pain and ankle stiffness/pain. I also gained flexibility and movement in my hips. Something I was not expecting or knew would improve! Dr. Rodwin also worked with my massage therapist, providing me with a treatment plan that helped address the pain in my lower back.
The clinic is centrally located , the staff is extremely pleasant and the appointments are very easy to book with their on-line app.

Don't be scared of the twisting! By far the best in Ottawa, has treated 3 generations of my family . Cured my headaches, my vision literally cleared after my first treatment. Dr. Rodwin offers advice on stretching, pillow choice and sleep hygiene as well as any other holistic advice you may be seeking. Check her credentials - she is highly educated and experienced. Most importantly, it is never rushed and she is gentle. I don't normally write reviews but I felt I owed it to her. Thank you for everything.

Do not suffer silently, get a treatment at Back to Health.
I have suffered for years from inflamed sinuses, not always infected but very painful. My eyes ached all the time, my ophthalmologist could not find the reason for my pain. I was asked yesterday why I looked so tired, I explained about my persistent pain. I received a sinus treatment (who knew you could even treat sinus with chiropractic?) and the relief was instantaneous. I had tears of joy to have no eye pain. It's two days later and there is facial aches but my eyes are fine. I don't even need analgesics.

Thank you so much! There were days I was taking 8 pills a day, neti pots, nasal sprays etc. and very little relief.
Magic, that is what you are,

Dr. Rodwin is amazing! Her head to toe approach to chiropractic care has allowed to gain newfound range of motion and improved my posture. Words can't adequately express the gratitude I feel towards her service. She is honest, forthright, and works with your best interest at heart.

Her support staff have done a fantastic job as well showing me around and making me feel welcome. They are very accommodating and flexible with appointments.

Thank you so much to everyone at Back to Health!

I went to see Dr.Rodwin through a referral, and I must say it was one of the best things I ever did. Not only is she so sweet, she ensures you are taken care of and that you leave feeling good. I would recommend her to anyone, and for those who might be skeptical, trust me you are in great hands!.

Dr. Rodwin and the team at Back to Health have taken excellent care of me and, with their treatment, I am enjoying a much happier, pain-free life. I have had neck, shoulder and back problems from a variety of issues for 20+ years. This team listened to me, found issues others had missed, and developed a treatment plan for that worked. I can't recommend this practice enough.

I've struggled with neck and shoulder pain for most of life. Being accustomed to working very long hours and constantly being hunched over a laptop was severely affecting my posture and causing migraines which affected my ability to focus, breath, socialize and sleep. Since seeking treatment from Dr. Rodwin, I've seen a huge improvement in my posture I've gotten comments that I look taller, my migraines are gone, my breathing is not shallow anymore, and most importantly, my neck and shoulders have greater mobility than ever before. Dr. Rodwin is the only chiropractor I've known who can adjust a neck properly!
Thank you very much Dr. Rodwin!

I'm a HUUUUUGE fan of Dr. Rodwin & staff. Dr. Rodwin is super kind, patient, and extremely caring, and VERY talented. I came in for an emergency appointment because I hurt my neck doing a headstand (oops - don't do that!), and she saw me immediately! It also healed super quick (yay!). I also learned about active release, and it hurts so good! I got an active release massage with Andrew, and during the time of the appointment, I was a little skeptical at first, but don't be. My body really felt better afterwards. Andrew is very good at what he does.

Absolutely excellent centre. With ART, chiropractic and acupuncture, along with orthotics, my mobility/flexibility has increased dramatically. Walking straight again is a pleasure. The staff are knowledgeable, professional and caring. I would recommend you check out Back to Health for any issues - you'll be treated well and according to the situation, and without pretence.

I have been seeing Dr. Rodwin for 15 years. What started out as a plan to fix some neck and back issues from an old car accident has turned into an essential part of my health care. She has treated me through a range of new injuries, two pregnancies (I credit her with the fact that I had so few aches and pains during my pregnancy compared to other moms), and a range of other joint and muscle issues stemming from inflammation due to undiagnosed food allergies. She has adapted her strategies as my needs have changed and always provides practical advice for how to recover from and avoid injuries and strain.

I have also trusted her with care of my children since they were babies. They love coming to the clinic. Because of Dr. Rodwin, I have every hope that they will avoid the chronic pain I have had to deal with as an adult. I am proud that they both now know to ask to see Dr. Rodwin before a small injury becomes a chronic problem for them.

I have also had great experiences with the RMTs on staff and with the front desk staff who are personally invested in my family's well-being.

I recommend Back to Health whenever I can and am grateful they have been able to take the pain away.

I am really grateful for the treatments I received throughout this past year at Back to Health Wellness. Dr.Rodwin and her team have been an extreme benefit to my recovery and if it wasn t for them I wouldn t be where I am today. With skilled deep tissue and myo-facial massage work from Jessica Nepton, the ART and adjustments (in so many places) by Dr.Rodwin, assessments and progress reports from Kinesiologist Keri-Lyn Dudgeon, and the patience and skilled work from Kim and Debbie at the desk- the progress I have had this year in relation to my recovery has been unsurmountable. I went from being in a high level of pain and being barely able to walk comfortably, or sit or do much of anything without any pain in my body. With one year of treatments now I am back to living an almost normal life with my pain being much more controlled and manageable with less flare ups that last less time. My body is becoming more balanced and is staying that way. I had a very strong twist in my pelvis, back and shoulders with subluxations in many places up my spine and neck, after a severe snowboarding/work accident including a fall with a twist and whiplash while carrying something heavy. Other modalities of treatment didn t see even close to the amount of relief and healing that I receive at Back to Health. Because of this I am able to begin my work again riding horses, teaching riding lessons and doing barn chores. These are my passions in life and something I thought and was even told by other doctors, I d never be able to do again. After one year of commitment and solid treatments here I am. So Thank-You Dr.Rodwin and the team at Back to Health.

Dr. Rodwin is awesome. I went in to see Keri Lyn shortly after running the Toronto Half Marathon to treat my achilles. I was hardly able to walk or run and the pain was terrible. Keri lyn assisted me and suggested I meet with Dr. Rodwin. I was very hesitant. I had never been to see a Chiro and didn't know what to expect, but I tried it out and promised myself if I didn't like it I wouldn't return. Well, I was pleasantly surprised! Dr. Rodwin is very kind and very skilled. She answered all my questions and explained everything she was doing during my treatment session. I am happy to report for the first time in 2 years I feel no pain after my runs! I highly recommend this clinic to anyone suffering with a sports injury. As a result of my treatment, I will be running my winter marathon as planned:)

I started coming here in 2015 for Cranial Adjusting from Dr. Rodwin for my concussion symptoms. It helped me IMMENSELY! Thanks to the help of Dr. Rodwin's treatments and Andrew's ART, I've been able to get through university without worrying about my symptoms getting in my way (or any other musculoskeletal issue) and continue to be active!

I have also recently started seeing Sam (the awesome physiotherapist) for a nerve problem in my leg and I am very happy with the functional dry needling and exercise program I received!

I come to Back to Health no matter what issue I have!

I recently sprained my ankle while tumbling down three steps. I immediately thought to call Dr Rodwin to get my ankle treated. I remember her telling me in past, that the quicker the intervention the quicker the healing and recovery. Dr Rodwin came to my home the very next day during a Winter storm to treat my ankle with acupuncture and ART. I was pleasantly surprised that in just one week I was able to ditch my crutches and the swelling had gone down so significantly that I was able to put my foot down on the floor again without experiencing the excruciating pain that I had for about a week. Not only is Dr Rodwin a compassionate and caring person but she is also constantly renewing her skills and keeping her knowledge up-to-date in order to provide the best care for all her patients! I really appreciate her and would recommend her to anyone who would like a speedy recovery from any sort of injury!!

"I have been a patient of Dr. Rodwin's for ten years and she had a tremendous impact on my health and well being. Prior to seeing her, I had reconstructive surgery for a torn ACL and my surgeon did not mention that my surgically repaired knee would have scar tissue. This scar tissue limited my mobility and over time, if I did not do anything, it would have developed into arthritis. When I was first introduced to Dr. Rodwin, she immediately performed the Active Release Technique (ART) to remove the scar tissue from my surgically repaired knee. After several years, my knee was completely healed and my mobility was fully restored.

I continue to see her on a monthly basis and she treats my entire body from head to toe. Even though my knee mobility has been restored, she continues to make knee adjustments with her drop piece gadget. She provides me with nutritional advice when needed and she even supplies me with all of my supplements. Within the past year, I started to purchase orthotics from her. I have been wearing orthotics for 12 years and her product is the best that I have ever worn. When it comes to health care, she truly is the jack of all trades. You would be a fool not to go see her for health care treatment. She gets way more than 5 stars in my book."

The team at Back to Health have been nothing short of incredible. They are an exemplary clinic who work collaboratively to deliver continuous improvement during each and every session. I had come to Dr. Rodwin after many different chiropractors seeking a more wholistic approach to spinal health and living pain free. Rather than offering one off sessions, they have worked very diligently to address and correct underlying issues that had been neglected for years by previous practitioners..And the results have been incredible, from both an athletic performance perspective and quality of life perspective. I would highly recommend Back to Health to anyone who is serious about a permanent solution to back/joint pain and injury recovery.

Dr. Rodwin has truly been a blessing for me. When I first was introduced to her by another patient at the clinic, I was in so much pain I wasn t walking or sleeping properly and I was taking quite a lot of pain medication. A month later, I am feeling like a new woman! She fitted me for orthotics, which have made such a dramatic improvement for me and she has me off of pain meds and muscle relaxants with the treatment plan of adjustments and ART (Active Release Technique) treatments. I also like that I can see other practitioners in her office (Physio and RMT) and Dr. Rodwin communicates with them on my issues, so that it is a team approach.
I am so happy to have Dr Rodwin and her team in my life!

This might be one of the greatest places on earth, you show up for 5 minutes once a week and all of you problems are just snapped away. I've been going to see Dr. Rodwin for several months now and the difference it makes is unbelievable, she's able to quickly diagnose all of you problems and systematically dismantle all the pain in your body. Dr. Rodwin has increased my mobility, aligned my body, and basically cured my asthma. I could not recommend the Back to Health Wellness Center enough, they are very professional and extremely effective at everything they do.

Came in the clinic through a recommendation for excruciating headaches, which I always suffered from, but got a lot worse after a neck injury. This was back in 2018. Dr. Rodwin gave me my quality of life back. I now rarely suffer from headaches. Andrew also helped significantly in my recovery. As an added bonus, after discussing nasal congestion issues, Dr. Rodwin has started adjusting my nose, and incredibly, I now can smell things I have not been able to smell for years. Back to Wellness is an integral part of my health team, but is also a place where I feel welcomed and listened to. I am an active participant in my well being and I could not recommend Dr. Rodwin enough.

5 Stars for 5 star treatment. Dr. Rodwin and her team provide better, more comprehensive, services than anyone in this city. Any issues you have will be addressed from head to toe, the whole goal being total health, and not just pain relief in one specific area. I have complete faith and total trust in all team members. They have fixed my neck after years of abuse as a tradesperson, they have fixed flat feet, and the ankle and knee pain associtated with it, they have fixed my lower back from sitting too long at a desk matched with crazy winter shoveling... I have been to my doctor recently and found out that I actually have grown about an inch (more like straightened out) most importantly of all, without all the pain and tension, I'm really happy!
