Nearly 3 years ago I was referred to Dr. Batch by a co-worker when I was complaining of discomfort in my upper rib-cage. I was reluctant to start seeing a chiropractor but I was desperate to start feeling better. When I first met Dr. Batch she took time to explain the benefits of chiropractic care and how proper alignment of the spine is critical for overall health & well being. She put my mind at ease by explaining what she would do at each session and how the cumulative effects of treatment would have a positive long-term effect on my immune system, posture, and help alleviate pain in my body.

Since beginning my journey with Dr. Batch I can honestly say that I have become one of her biggest supporters and will tell ANYONE who has pain or discomfort that they need to see her!! I have experienced first-hand the benefits of chiropractic care - my body is properly algined which means that I can run long distances without pain in my knees or hips. I recently completed a half marathon and didn't have any joint pain afterwards, whereas in the past I would have been aching after running only a few kilometers. Dr. Batch also fixed my plantar fasciitis - which I was amazed to learn that she could treat since I mistakenly assumed that chiropractors only worked on the spine and neck.

Dr. Batch is a warm and caring person who takes a genuine interest in getting to know her patients on a personal level. She is always interested in hearing about my plans for the weekend and follows up on previous conversations that we've had. I feel like I'm visiting with a friend and that I'm not just another patient. I always leave her office feeling better than I did when I arrived - mentally, emotionally, AND physically. I feel like I'm doing something good for my body and that is a great feeling!!

Thank you Dr. Batch.

All it took was one little bend down to pick up something off the floor, and I felt a strange twinge in my back. It felt like nothing at first, but over the course of the day, and then overnight, I knew something was wrong. The next day, I had horrible trouble just getting out of bed. Everything hurt when I moved or even just sat down, and driving was excruciating. As a teacher, I did not have the luxury of taking time off work to regain my full health. I realized that I had to do something because life just wasn't liveable that way.

I contacted Dr. Lori Batch. She examined me and explained that most likely my back pain was a pre-existing condition and not just the result of a momentary bending, so it would take a little time to recover. However, even after the first chiropractic treatment I felt much better. With each subsequent appointment I continued to improve, and I am now happy to say that I no longer experience any pain or discomfort with any of my daily activities. Dr. Batch also spent time educating me about proper or more effective ways of sitting, bending or reaching, getting out of bed, etc., to help reduce future stresses on my spine. With regular chiropractic care, I have continued to remain pain-free and I feel I have a greater 'ease of movement' - it has made my life so much better.

To be honest, I was a little sceptical of chiropractic at first, but I have to say that I'm a true convert. I would certainly recommend chiropractic care from Dr. Batch to anyone I know or encounter who has back or spine-related pain or discomfort. Thanks again for restoring my spinal health and helping me live my life comfortably again.

Best regards,

I have a new health care professional in my life - her name is Dr. Lori Batch. I met her 5 years ago in my kitchen, over a cup of coffee as I read the local Caledon paper. I was intrigued that she was a chiropractor, personal trainer and understood athletes who have sport related injuries and want to achieve optimal performance. I cut out the article and stuck it on my fridge with kid's artwork, party invitations and the yearly calendar. I viewed it every day - promising myself I would call ... tomorrow!

As the years passed, the article on the fridge yellowed and my lower back pain didn't subside! I finally made the call in October, 2011. By that time, the simple task of bending over to wash my face was impossible without lower back pain. I would brace myself to sneeze for fear of putting my back out. Being an active runner, cyclist and yoga fanatic, I now needed help to enjoy what I love to do.

To my surprise, Lori Batch was more impressive in person than on paper. She listened to me, consulted with my spine and proposed a course of action. It's been eight visits and I've been revived! Why had I waited so long???

What I can tell you is that Dr. Lori Batch's passion, articulate explanations and the concern for your health is evident in her professional character. If it wasn't for her treatment, I would still be in severe pain! I sincerely thank Dr. Lori Batch for what she has done and look forward to future optimal health.
