Fantastic experience: This is the only kind of Chiropractic care I do now. Dr. Matthew Kittleson is great, as was his predecessor, Dr. John Davis. I've only had good experiences and I'm grateful that Dr. Kittleson is carrying on the practice.
Fantastic experience: Amazing chiropractic services.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to see Dr. Kittleson for the last couple months and I am so happy. I had been going to a different NUCCA chiropractor and felt sore for 6 months... but no more. So I brought my daughter, and her health has been improving too. That means the world to me... I feel so grateful!!
Fantastic experience: John is an amazing practitioner. He is very knowledgeable and a perfectionist but at the same time kind and caring. I drive an hour to go see him and it's a drive very much worth it.i highly recommend him .
Fantastic experience: The best ever for years. John retired, now Matt is fantastic.
Fantastic experience: I have been dealing with this office over 40 yrs and both Dr Davis and currently, Dr Kittleson have treated my neck and back issues quickly-usually within one or two visits. Office staff are kind and efficient.
Fantastic experience: I have suffered from migraines for years. Every month I take at least a few migraine pills. Since seeing Dr. Kittleson for the past 5 months I have not taken any migraine meds at all! Thanks for the relief! Amazing place and doc!
Fantastic experience: Wow. I have suffered with tension related headaches for years and years. I was going to a traditional chiro whenever it got unbearable, I would go for weeks on end and would have improvement for a little while but a few months later it would be back. I went to Matty and I noticed a difference after my first adjustment. The adjustment is so gentle I thought there's no way anything was happening but I was quite stiff and in a bit of pain after my first adjustment and then I noticed the difference immediately. I've had five adjustments now including my first in a year and my headaches are almost completely gone. It's been life changing and I'm so grateful. Thank you Matty and everyone!
Fantastic experience: Dr M Kittleson's skills as a chiropractor plus his care for my condition is exceptional & helpful. 'Terminal point' adjustments, rather than high velocity cracking of the neck/back are assisting me with a difficult issue. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: For about 5 months I have been receiving treatments with Dr. Matthew Kittleston, at the NUCCA Burnaby clinic. This has been an absolutely fantastic experience for me. The kind, professional and respectful manner Dr. Kittleston and his office staff treat us patients with is very comforting. Every aspect of the treatment protocol is explained clearly, prior to adjustment. The cost for each element of treatment from X-rays to adjustments and further appointments is given from the beginning appointment. The adjustments are done very gently and effectively. Suggestions for improving movement to keep progressing are shared as well. I notice wonderful changes after each adjustment. As I am able to go longer without need for adjustment Dr. Kittleston suggests longer times between appointments. My migraines are less frequent and less intense since I have been under the care of Dr. Kittleston. It has been a very positive, life improving experience for me to receive chiropractic care and treatment from Dr. Kittleston. I will continue my treatment as needed to progress and maintain the gains I’m so grateful to have made. Don’t hesitate to see Dr. Matthew Kittleston at NUCCA Burnaby. I am so happy with my results!
Fantastic experience: Excellent!
Fantastic experience: Yeah, my experience of visiting Dr Davis‘s office has been very very good. The times that I have been there. I have felt relief with my visits and it looks like Matthew is mentoring from Dr. John Davis very well. John Davis is a very special man. He’s helped me for the past 25 years off and on and it’s good to see Matthew learn from Dr. John Davis’s mentorship, and I wish him all the success in the future
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of Dr Davis since 1981, he's always been, beyond words fantastic in every sense. Wishing him a full and speedy recovery. Dr. Matthew Kittleson has stepped in to fill his shoes, mighty tall task. He is absolutely up to challenge, same incredible energy as Dr Davis, knowledgeable, pragmatic attention to detail. Great doctor, kind young man, same impeccable results. If you have been apprehensive since Dr Davis's absence Don't be! Worked and trained with Dr Davis, Dr. Kittleson is an absolute must see.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Davis was my chiropractor for many years. Recently have had two adjustments by Dr.Kittleson. I am pleased that he is continuing with Davis practice. The results have been good. I strongly recommend him.
Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable and courteous. First treatment so not sure of results yet, but an overall good experience.
Fantastic experience: I went to see Dr. Kittleson yesterday for the first time. He was very kind, straightforward and professional. After my adjustment I really appreciated the time he took to discuss things I could work on at home to improve my posture. The office staff were welcoming and friendly as well. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Over the years I’ve tried a number of different chiropractors; Dr. Davis and Dr. Kittleson have been the only Chiropractors that have been able to provide immediate and lasting relief. For those new to NUCCA, it might seem like nothing is really done during the appointment (no cracking?). But I can say that while I’ve received immediate relief with some of the more aggressive (cracking) Chiropractors the pain always returns (and usually rather quickly). For truly lasting results, Dr. Davis/Kittleson are highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: I had almost given up hope of getting any relief from the dizziness and neck discomfort that I had experienced for years after a serious car accident. But Dr. Davis was able to help me get back to as close to normal as I could have possibly imagined. I still sometimes need an adjustment, but they are months or even years apart.
Fantastic experience: Both Dr. John Davis and Dr. Matthew Kittleson are superb. I felt so relieved after being adjusted by either one of them.
Fantastic experience: After many years of pain this is the only form of chiropractor that actually works
Fantastic experience: Went to see Dr. Kittleson this week for an adjustment and I am feeling so much better. So grateful to have found an amazing NUCCA chiropractor in Burnaby! He was kind, caring, and professional and the treatment is gentle and painless. I also appreciated the extra time he gave me to relax and let my adjustment settle in my body. 5 stars for sure. Also the receptionist was a sweetheart as well and made me and my young son feel very welcomed and cared for.
Fantastic experience: Today, I received an excellent neck treatment provided in short notice. I recently had a bad fall and a neck injury Dr. J.Davis has treated since 1987 was again given great healing today by Dr.M. Kittleson. At 84yrs., I am most thankful for pleasant, prompt, sustaining adjustment removing pain and misalignment so I can continue healthy, productive independent living. Happy Valentine's Day! The services of this office have been a LIFE GIVING gift to me for many years!
Fantastic experience: I have been a client of this NUCCA office for decades and they are head and shoulders above any other NUCCA practitioner in the Lower Mainland!!
Fantastic experience: I was initially very concerned when John Davis was no longer available to provide the Upper Cervical adjustments I rely on to manage pain from an old MVA injury. Fortunately, Matty has proven to be just as capable and proficient as John. He is excellent at correcting the mis-alignments that cause me mind-numbing pain. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for relief.
Fantastic experience: Dr Kittelson, Dr Davis's intern, Is a true Godsend. It is so wonderful to have him in the neighborhood. Finding an exceptional NUCCA practitioner is difficult.
Fantastic experience: I am 3 weeks into my treatment plan with Mathew and feeling like a new man. Much different than a traditional chiropractic experience but worth every penny!
Fantastic experience: Been going here for years and they have helped me out of some bad back trouble/pain. Great treatment!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to this clinic for years. The care is compassionate and skillful, and the treatment is very effective. I highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Wonderful caring service the doctor and staff
Fantastic experience: Before seeing Dr. Kittleson, I dealt with constant neck issues that led to ongoing head pressure and a feeling of tightness that never fully went away. After a few months of care, it genuinely feels like I have a whole new neck. Dr. Kittleson is consistently honest and transparent about treatment, and his approach has made a significant improvement in my quality of life. I’m extremely grateful for the care I’ve received.
Fantastic experience: Very professional and friendly treatment and service.
Fantastic experience: Excellent
Fantastic experience: Very professional and treated me with respect.
Fantastic experience: The best way to describe is... "Miracle workers". Listened and cured my years long sore back. Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: Matthew is an excellent chiropractor — professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about his patients. I left feeling better. Highly recommend!”
Fantastic experience: So grateful for Dr Kittleson’s care and expertise. I feel so much lighter and aligned right after my treatment, thank you!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Kittleson is a knowledgeable and caring NUCCA practitioner. He strives to keep me from coming back too often, just as Dr. Davis did. He always has great advice and I leave feeling better for months.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Kittleson is currently covering Dr. Davis while he is on medical leave. I was hesitant initially as Dr. Davis is an excellent NUCCA chiropractor. Dr. Kittleson had big shoes to fill. He is professional with good bedside manner. Knowledgeable in many areas of health. I now know my spine is in good hands with Dr. Kittleson.
Thank you, we hope to see you soon!
Fantastic experience: Excellent professional service. Doctor Kittleson was well prepared with knowledge of my case. He is a great communicator and sets the tone for a calm and pleasant treatment. I will be seeing more of him. Chris Phillips.
Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this chiropractic clinic. For decades, I have been coming here when needed for help with neck, back, and hip issues. I'm very grateful for the excellent treatments from the highly skilled practitioners, John Davis and more recently Matthew Kittleson . They have helped me so much to stay active and mobile.
Hi, thank you for the wonderful review!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Matty is very helpful. Always feel better after the visit.
Thanks for the 5 star review! We pride ourselves on providing a superb experience.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend NUCCA Burnaby with Dr. John Davis and Dr. Matthew Kittleson. I suffered for 12 years from a car accident. I tried chiropractic, massage therapy, and many other types of therapy, but none gave me a permanent fix. After being referred to Dr. John Davis by Michelle Lyle, RMT, I finally found my solution. I am now properly aligned and no longer in pain. I am so grateful to these wonderful professionals and their team. They've made a huge difference in my life.
Thanks so much! Your positive rating means a lot to us!
Fantastic experience: For someone who has tried many many different doctors and practices I can say Nucca has changed my life! Highly recommend!
Hi, thank you for the wonderful review!
Positive experience: I felt comfortable with Dr Matthew, and found the Xray viewing and explanation insightful to my condition. Looking forward to a 2nd visit tomorrow.
Thanks for leaving a review. We’re glad you had a good experience at NUCCA Burnaby John Davis Chiropractic.
Fantastic experience: For 15+ years I tried over a dozen types of treatment. This work is magic. Since 2013 when I began treatment there, my life has been 1000 times better than before I found this place. I was in constant pain for over a decade Now everything is manageable and I know if I go over there I’m going to feel better Thank God for this place
Fantastic experience: Dr. Matty is a wonderful healer for me. He's a good listener, kind and gentle in his touch and approach. He's helped me through a lot of painful times and I highly recommend him. Thanks Dr. Matty
Fantastic experience: Both Dr Davis and Dr Kittleson have helped me immensely over the years! Highly recommend their services ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best I have ever known in 68 years of being on Mother Earth
Fantastic experience: Fantastic help for my mva recovery, and made a huge difference for my recovery from whiplash improvement in less neck soreness. I highly recommend this medical approach to complete healing.
Fantastic experience: Dr Matthew Kittleson is very knowledgeable and his treatments are amazing! The nucca technique is very gentle no cracking or manipulation. This is the only treatment I know that helps and fixes back misalignment! It changed my chronic pain and gave me my life back. As an RMT I refer to this technique because alignment is usually the root cause of chronic pain. Clients often come for massage after to realign their muscles! My clients have experienced considerable relief with their chronic back pain at this clinic. I have been greatly assisted in my pain management by this technique. I highly recommend Matthew if you alignment issues or have chronic pain.
Fantastic experience: It will change your life coming here. I’ve never felt better. Sleep, activity, everything. Dr Kittleson is a great human and doctor.
Fantastic experience: I was seeing Dr John Davis for about 18 months after having been rear ended 4 times in the space of 4 years. I found Dr Davis to be the absolute best! He was kind, caring, gentle and an absolutely wonderful practitioner, very meticulous, the best in his field as I later discovered to my detriment but that's an entirely different story. Unfortunately, to my utter dismay, when I returned for a follow up appointment with Dr Davis I was told he was taking an extended leave from his practice. I was shocked and very upset. I honestly didn't believe I would ever find anyone as proficient, gentle and caring as Dr Davis until I met his replacement Dr Kittleson. As soon as I met Dr Kittleson he put me at ease immediately with his kind, yet very professional manner. His knowledge is boundless and he is happy to impart that knowledge and does so liberally. He is very skilled at his work but also extremely caring. I trust him 100% and would recommend him to anyone needing NUCCA care.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Kittleson recommended that I consider trying the Founder pose from Foundation Training 3x 30 seconds, 3 times a day for general health of the spine. I find it very helpful and was surprised, to say the least, when a stranger approached me in the grocery store a week ago and asked me what I did to maintain such good posture! That is the first time anyone has ever commented on my posture, so I have to think it had to do with my body adapting to the new discipline as Dr. K had suggested it would. I am a long time patient of Dr. Davis and am very pleased to see the practice carrying on in good hands.
Fantastic experience: Dr Matty Kittleson is amazing. NUCCA is a different form of chiropractic care (definitely no bone crunching here) and Matty excels in administering this very gentle technique. While I have enjoyed the benefits of this form of chiropractic care for decades, my chiropractor retired and I was concerned about finding another good chiropractor. I have to say: Matty takes chiropractic adjustment to a whole new level of care and results. If you are wondering whether to try NUCCA: wonder no more. Make an appointment with Matty and check it out for yourself.
Fantastic experience: Dr.Kittleson is truly an invaluable resource. It's an amazing therapy, and it has helped me so much throughout the years.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Davis is amazing! He is caring, compassionate and an incredible chiropractor. The NUCCA practice is different from how other chiropractors treat. My hip pain was gone after only 2 sessions with Dr. Davis and now, I only see him for follow-up appointments approximately every 20-24 months. I have recently seen Dr. Matthew Kittleson and he is wonderful as well. I have recommended several friends to try NUCCA chiropractic and they had great relief from their pain as well. Dr. Davis and Dr. Kittleson are truly amazing. I highly recommend anyone in pain to give them a try.
Fantastic experience: I have had buccaneers treatments for many years when I needed them. No question they work. I used to have a regular chiropractor treatment with neck and back cracking for treatment but it was too hard on my body. s i was grateful that a friend turned me on to Nucca which was called the Grostik technique at one time which was named after Mr. Grostik. It’s a treatment that doesn’t leave your body jarred or sore after treatment and it definitely works. I would recommend it to everyone who needs re alignment.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Dr. Kittleson. His small adjustments and the NUCCA approach have had a huge impact on my quality of life!
Fantastic experience: I transferred to Nucca Burnaby last year when I moved back to Vancouver from Chicago. I had come to rely on my Chicago Nucca after a concussion while living there, and was so fortunate to be referred to Nucca Burnaby when I moved home. Matty is the best and has helped me tremendously. Highly recommend if you have any alignment, balance, or post concussion issues!
Fantastic experience: Surely a very different experience than a regular chiropractor. Dr. John is very experienced and focuses on building our body's innate ability to heal and gain structural alignment instead of forcing a manipulation. Definitely worth a visit if you need relief from months or years of neck or back pain. I wish we had found out about him years ago.
Fantastic experience: I don’t understand what Dr Davis does but what he does is incredible. What a gifted health practitioner. He gave me my life back. And he is a fantastic human being.
Fantastic experience: I was referred to Dr Davis 4 years ago @28 after a brutal car crash (I came in w/ a cane). Not only is he a gem of a man, I walked out w/out that cane. Every time I walk out of that office I’m in less pain, & if ever it’s not quite right he has taken me back short notice free of charge. My entire family sees him now. To Kelly on your review - I would ask; why did you sit in your car crying rather than go in & express your concerns? When they called you after your first session did you express them then? He offered you your money back - did you go to your follow up appointment to get it & express them then? Look at the rest of his reviews. You sound like a whiny millennial who would rather slander a man so she can continue feeling sorry for herself, rather than actually fix the issue. Get it together girl.
Fantastic experience: Most amazing experience with a doctor in my life. He is THE NECK SPECIALIST. (my name then O'Dwyer) I had a rear end collision, and was suffering from nausea for many months He took x-rays and exact measurements, and determined that bones were pressing on my brain stem. Gentle movements restored me to health in record time! I am now living in Nova Scotia, and had a terrible rear end collision in July, 2020.. Hit at 100 km an hour. Severe nausea, terrible headaches, worst in my life. Oh, how I wish he was here or I was there!
Fantastic experience: I had lower back problems for many years after doing construction work. I went to see Dr. Davis and after only 2 visits and subtle adjustments, the pain was completely gone. 7 month later, I continue to be without pain. I highly recommend him.
Fantastic experience: I have seen Dr. Davis over the years when my neck pain flairs up. He always helps me. He is dedicated, wise and his treatment method is effective . He is deeply caring and a man of integrity.
Fantastic experience: 15 months of pain, released in one visit! I tried physio, traction, massage, acupuncture, but my top 2 vertebrae were out so comfort was fleeting. He gave me back my life
Fantastic experience: The subtle art of postural alignment and a soothing presence.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Davis is a miracle worker. He completely changed my life. Very gentle and professional. If I could give him 10/5, I would!
Fantastic experience: After being involved in a motor vehicle accident and suffering from whiplash and concussion, I spent a couple of years in and out of physiotherapy, massage therapy and rehab. My neck and shoulder problems persisted. Finally a very observant and astute massage therapist advised me to go see Dr. Davis. He literally helped straightened me out. My pain and negative symptoms have gone way down since he helped me. Although not 100% healed (after the accident I was involved in it's no wonder) had I not seen Dr. Davis I would still be in much worse shape than I am now. He's a true professional and a tribute to the NUCCA profession. Can't thank him enough!
Fantastic experience: Dr Davis has been a life saver for several members of my family, and friends too. My dad had severe knee pain and was he had deteriorated discs in his pelvis and "it's all down hill from there.". He went to Dr Davis and after the first treatment WALKED out of the office. That was over 20 years ago.
Fantastic experience: Had an ongoing back problem for most of my life. Whet to Dr. Davis and after two visits (one adjustment) was fixed. Probably among the very best neck specialists you will find in B.C. Turned out my back problem was caused by neck. Adjustment was a very gentle movement for things to slip into place.
