The Happy Spine - NeuroSpinal Optimization

Fantastic experience: I first came to Tony believing my issues were primarily biomechanical—persistent pain around my ribs, upper back, neck and knee had me worried about what the future might hold. During my assessment, he recognized that my body was carrying an extraordinary amount of tension and that my nervous system was stuck in a chronic state of fight-or-flight. His approach was unlike anything I had experienced: gentle, precise touches that seemed almost too subtle to make a difference, yet after each session I left feeling calmer and more regulated. Over three months of twice-weekly neuro-optimization sessions, I gradually found myself becoming more grounded, more centred, and more connected to myself in a way I hadn’t ever before. Tony created a space where I felt genuinely listened to and understood, never rushed or dismissed. I now better understand how a lifetime of stress, adaptation, and neurodivergence can become held in the body. For that, I will always be grateful to Tony for helping me find my way back to myself.

Negative experience: I had a disappointing experience here after spending over $800 on treatment without any noticeable improvement. Appointments felt weirdly rushed, with multiple patients being seen at the same time and the practitioner moving quickly between beds and rooms. This made the care feel impersonal, and I didn’t feel like I was receiving focused or individualized attention. I also found it difficult to understand the treatment approach. There wasn’t a clear explanation of what was being done or how it was supposed to help my specific condition, which made it hard to build confidence in the process. He moves your legs to check tension and then grabs and pulls skin very gently and briefly here and there. Unnoticeable effect. At times, I felt talked down to or judged, particularly when discussing my work situation and stress levels. That tone didn’t sit well with me, especially as someone actively trying to improve their health. I came in hopeful and was willing to commit to the process, but ultimately didn’t feel supported or see results. Based on my experience, I can’t recommend this clinic.

Fantastic experience: I’m a chiropractor and this is where I love to go to feel better. Dr Tony is an amazing healer!

Fantastic experience: This place is absolutely amazing! I am beyond grateful for the care I received from Dr. Tony. After dealing with chronic back pain for so long, I never imagined I could feel this much relief so quickly. After just one session, I felt a huge difference—it was truly unbelievable. Dr. Tony was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to really understand my problem before starting treatment. The adjustment was gentle but incredibly effective, and I walked out feeling better than I had in months. If you’re struggling with back pain and feeling hopeless, don’t hesitate to come here. This visit truly changed my quality of life. Thank you so much, Dr. Tony, for what you do!

Fantastic experience: I have experienced a lot of changes since going to see Dr. Tony Sandorfi at The Happy Spine. This approach to chiropractic care is different from the usual chiropractic clinics elsewhere, and I find the results are longer-term and much more deeply established. The first thing I noticed was my nervous system healing over a period of a few months. Now, when stressed, I find my nervous system bounces back much more quickly than before and so my body doesn't stay in a state of tension as much or as long, and my posture changed a lot too after those first few months. The assessments done before and after help show you what is working and helps you feel like you are an active participant in your own healing. It is a subtle approach and requires patience for and trust in your body and its own healing system and in the method itself, but it does work its magic, little-by-little, over time. My experience has been that Tony works with where you are at and lets your own body and nervous system lead the way rather than "fixing" things in the moment to make you feel better in the short-term. I always feel fully present, lighter and much more expansive and uplifted after my sessions. It clears my brain as well, and I find my thinking is much more focused. Tony is a very caring, gentle and respectful practitioner and is a highly intuitive healer. Ceci, at the front desk, is your first point of contact when you enter and always has a big smile and very friendly and welcoming demeanour. At my first appointment, I instantly felt like I wasn't just at a clinic, but that I was part of a warm and supportive community. For me and many others, this is just as important in the healing journey as the actual modalities being used. And I like the music playing! It is a nice touch and brings an energy to the space. I really appreciate The Happy Spine and highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: If you’re tired of being chronically ill and/or in pain all the time, I highly recommend going to see Dr. Tony Sandorfi at The Happy Spine. I have struggled for more than half my life with several chronic immune diseases. I’ve followed my doctors orders to an T and tried endless medications including 10+ years of immunotherapy treatments. Everything we did and tried, just seemed to mask or slow my symptoms. So I started searching for an alternative way to help heal myself. Something natural that would actually help me and not just mask things. Enter Dr. Tony Sandorfi at The Happy Spine. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Tony and the work we did together to help heal my body from the inside out. I had been stuck in fight or flight mode for years. Learning how to slow down, how to focus on positive energy and how to breathe properly was pivotal in my healing journey. Dr. Tony was able to locate and release years of built up tension and pain that had been robbing me of my quality of life for years. Teaching me how to bring healing energy to those places and to breathe through my diaphragm/stomach again. With his dedication and love of his craft, he gave me a new lease on life and I couldn’t be more grateful and thankful. 11/10 highly recommend you seeing him today!

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough about Dr. Tony and how much he has helped me in my healing journey. I sought treatment for an ongoing issue affecting my right glute all the way to my knee. Everything I tried felt like a band aid solution. Little did I know that this journey I was about to embark on would not only improve my physical ailments but more importantly, he would reset my nervous system. My body has gone from being constantly stressed (which I didn't realize that it was) to returning to a calmer state so that it can operate at peak performance. I have only been at the practice for 5 months and I feel better both physically and mentally than I have in years. I highly recommend the Happy Spine. You will not find a more caring and calming environment as you embark on your healing journey.

Fantastic experience: The Happy Spine could so far be the most place that helped me in my complicated journey. Arriving with severe chronic neck and coccyx pain, hopeless after my body refused all kinds of treatments, including morphine, and stuck in the loop of fight or flight that burdened my nervous system, dr. Tony just did his magic. It's just a gift am happy to put my hand on. My nervous system is wayy calmer, and I can feel that something has shifted within my body. I feel stronger, happier, and more oriented. This reflected on my daily life as a Mom of four boys. Speaking about my boys, am taking them all for assessments with Dr Tony, because I believe it's a must. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED people!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Tony is outstanding at what he does. Beyond his expertise, he brings such a kind and generous approach to his care — you never feel rushed, and he truly listens. He takes the time to explain things and makes sure you feel comfortable and supported. I’ve had an amazing experience and consistently see positive results. I’m so thankful to have found him.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Tony is amazing! He doesn't just help you heal but offers classes to help you live pain free and healthy

Fantastic experience: Dr. Tony is amazing, my body has never felt so good! He's helped to completely resolve chronic, long standing issues of mine. I recently went on a 2 week snowboarding trip and for the first time in over 15 years, I DIDN'T need to ice my joints, use a heat pad on my back, do physio exercises on my shoulder or take Advil in order to get my body ready for the next day. He has helped to calm my nervous system which has resulted in improved quality of sleep on a regular basis. Having consistently good and restful sleeps is something I didn't think was possible for me, having struggled with this my whole adult life. I truly believe in NSO, it WORKS!

Fantastic experience: Dr Tony is the most kind, caring professional chiro. His technique is definitely the most advanced I have tried. It really works on the root of the issue. I have tried over 5 chiros and many other health professionals and he is absolutely the best. He understands the human body and treats it with respect. The gentle technique is the most effective. I am so grateful I found him! Thank you :)

Fantastic experience: Dr. Tony has treated me for ~ 1+ yrs. I've been dealing with chronic shoulder tendinitis > 30 yrs. I have sought treatment from physiotherapists, doctors and traditional chiropractors all with varying degrees of success and pain relief duration. Dr. Tony takes a holistic approach to healing through active and empathetic listening. The effects have been subtle, yet cumulative and impactful when I reflect on the changes over the past year. While I cannot confirm a correlation, I have also stopped smoking in the past month, with little to no side effects...

Fantastic experience: I first went to see Tony because two different people recommended him to help me calm down my nervous system. During the first appointment Dr. Tony set my baseline by checking my posture, head alignment, weight distribution and made me do some fun challenges to assess the state of my body. Then came the instrument that showed how my sympathetic and parasympathetic systems were doing, this one was my fave. It showed me that I was highly stressed and as a result, many other things in my body were being affected. I thought this appointment was great because I love measurements and data-based evidence, and also because he clearly explained how my posture and the state of my nervous system could be improved in order to affect other aspects of my physical and mental health. After a series of appointments, from which I always walked away totally relaxed, he measured again. Even though I had been feeling improvements along the way, when I saw the before and after photos of my head/body alignment and the difference in my sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, it was very clear how things had shifted in my body and my brain. I know some people are averse to holistic medicine because it seems weird and intangible, there are no pills or surgeries involved here, but that is the best part, you get results through these gentle treatments AND you get quantitative results that will show you your progress. Definitely worth a try!

Fantastic experience: I consulted Dr.Sandorfi regarding several health problems and recurring dizziness. I was pleasantly surprised by his exceptional attentiveness and professionalism throughout the treatments. His approach is very holistic and he takes great care to understand each person as a whole in order to offer the best possible treatment.

Fantastic experience: My experience at the Happy Spine truly exceeded my initial expectations. The holistic approach not only provided an opportunity to restore my physical health but created a sense of well-being that prevades all aspects of my life. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: During my initial conversation with Dr. Tony, I had no specific ailment to ‘fix’ but wanted to feel generally more healthy and calm. This summer when I started treatments, I was in the process of preparing for a 3 day dance retreat where I would be teaching dances. I was anxious about teaching and concerned that my feet wouldn’t hold up to dancing 3 days in a row. The treatments significantly reduced my performance anxiety, as well, my feet did not ache nearly as much as I had expected them to from my past experience (I have bunions on both feet). I am also a gardener and in previous years my hands and lower arms would go numb by mid-season to the point where the pain would keep me up during the night. This past year, I had very little numbness which, for me, was such a relief. My back would also give me a lot of pain by the end of a day of gardening and I was surprised and pleased to suddenly realize that my back wasn’t giving me any issues at all! I appreciate Dr. Tony’s co-creative approach to healing, which was an option that was of interest to me, and his deep commitment to peoples’ health and well-bring.

Fantastic experience: I am the recent recipient of a total knee replacement. While the replacement knee itself was being looked after by my surgeon and physiotherapists, I had other concerns which were not being addressed with respect to how my body as a whole was responding to the surgery, e.g., my other knee is also a candidate for surgery, I had associated aches and pains in both legs and I was experiencing considerable lower back pain. I was looking for someone to treat these issues as a whole. Dr. Tony Sandorfi was definitely the right choice for me. Shortly after treatment began, I experienced immediate pain relief and after six months of treatment I no longer have any lower back pain and the general aches and pains in both legs have been reduced considerably. Concurrently, Dr. Tony determined that I was experiencing elevated stress levels and that this was having an effect on my body. He therefore adapted his treatment plan to deal with this issue. Dr. Tony is a warm and friendly individual. His neurostructural chiropractic treatments are both gentle and effective, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a holistic approach to their health issues. Ron Carter

Fantastic experience: Bonjour to Google readers.....I have a slip disc L4 & L5 from an old back injury which pinches my sciatic nerve and then cripples my left leg that becomes numb from hip to toes. Early spring 23 a client of mine mention that he was seeking professional help from this NeuroStructural Chiropractic Dr. Anthony Sandorfi but I did not believe in Chiropractic work and was more of a Physio person. August 23 I decided to give this dude a try as the pain was so severed this time and my Physio sessions were not working. Well, much to my chagrin I wish I would have met Dr. Tony years ago instead of paying thousands in Physio. Some how if we change our toughs and try different things miracles do happens......definitely know where to go the next time that my old injury relapses. THANKS Dr. Tony for helping we walk and feel better....AM

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a client at the Happy Spine for a year now and Dr. Tony Sandorfi is amazing. As a woman, I find him to be highly intuitive, sensitive and a safe man to work with. He is professional and very knowledgeable of his craft. He welcomes personal input so as to build a partnership in my healing journey. I highly recommend this gentle man.

Fantastic experience: I first began my healing journey over 35 years ago, in an effort to get to the root cause of the issues I had been dealing with. These included: fibromyalgia, headaches, chronic neck pain and insomnia, all of which, I believe, are related to early childhood trauma. NeuroStructural Chiropractic is by far one of the best healing modalities I have ever come across. What's more, Dr. Tony is an outstanding health care professional. I am so grateful to have found him!

Fantastic experience: I cannot stress how much I appreciate this clinic. I've been seeing Dr. Tony since the spring of 2023 and went to him for next pain. He told me he wasn't going to pull on it like a typical chiro does. But whatever he did, IT HELPED because after a few sessions, it went away. I continue to see him weekly for other issues. What makes him stand out from the rest is that he remembers everyone's name and story. All the details. He really genuinely wants his clients to get better and even offers free workshops on his days off. His energy and willingness to do anything to help people really stands out and is very much appreciated.

Fantastic experience: I love the Happy Spine! Tony is one of my favourite people! He is excellent at creating a calm environment for recovery and a skilled practitioner. I've been seeing him for about 1.5 years and have noticed a difference in my energy levels and outlook in life overall. I feel more peaceful and my nervous system is better regulated. I would recommend Tony to anyone that wanting to improve their health and wellbeing!

Fantastic experience: I have been to Dr. Toni Sandorfi for over 3 months now and I have noticed improvement for my existing back ailments. Also little things have cleared up like a mild intermittent sprained ankle. My back and neck now feel more sturdy and all of one piece. Susan

Fantastic experience: It's difficult to explain the magic that happens here as it's so different from typical chiropractors and it happens in the gentlest of ways. Dr. Tony you have been a gift and I'm so grateful to have found you. Thanks to you, I walk through this world balanced and pain free.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Sandorfi at the Happy Spine is a caring and genuine person and a fountain of wisdom. He has a gentle yet powerful (if that makes sense) approach to chiropractic aims to return the body to its natural state. His treatment has helped me to reduce stress and muscle tension and feel more like myself and I’ve gained a lot of perspective about my own health along the way. Thanks Dr. Tony!

Fantastic experience: Happy Spine is an awesome place. In the best way possible…it is NOT your traditional chiropractic office. At first I was nervous about visiting a chiropractor. In the free consultation, Dr. Tony patiently reassured me and explained how Happy Spine’s neuro-structural approach is different. Over my time with both Dr. Tony and Dr. Joe, I can confidently say their approach to wellness is more than a quick fix. They truly believe in helping the patient discover more about the root of the pain. As described on their site, I can say with confidence, Happy Spine is most definitely a “holistic sustainable” solution to my back pain. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this clinic to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I have been visiting The Happy Spine for about 6 months. Dr. Tony really helps me to improve the quality of my life. I used to suffer a lot from neck pain and migraine and was taking pain killers to keep myself go through the days. Now I rarely wake up with migraines or having a hard time falling asleep because of neck pain. And Dr. Tony has such a calming vibes that makes you feel so relaxed and peaceful. I feel so lucky that my friend introduced me to The Happy Spine instead of me putting more pain killers into my body.

Fantastic experience: I started treatment at the happy spine about a year ago. In this time my overall body pain has decreased significantly. After more than 20 years of constant massage and physio for muscle and joint pain I thought it would just be like that the rest of my life. Nerve damage including extreme sensitivity and numbness I have also been dealing with for almost 20 years is pretty much non existent. Coming here was one of the best things I ever did for myself. The people are amazing and so supportive. I haven’t been to physio or massage since my first appointment. So very thankful for these amazing people.

Fantastic experience: English follows Le Dr Sandorfi est très professionnel et compétent. L'accueil est chaleureux et il est à l'écoute de ses patients. Dans mon cas, les traitements sont très efficaces. Je le recommande. C. Côté Dr. Sandorfi is very professional and competent. The welcone is warm and he listens to his patients. In my case, the treatments are very effective. I recommand it. C. Côté.

Fantastic experience: Four years ago, after recovering from a septic spine infection , I was told that I would face chronic back pain for the rest of my life. I thought "like heck I will" and threw myself into proving the doctors wrong. Acupuncture, Acupressure, Bowen Therapy and Massage Therapy helped some. Physiotherapy helped some more. Yoga helped too but the pain was still there. At a friend's suggestion, I visited his chiropractor. Bad move. The treatment was so aggressive and painful that I felt I was back to square one. I felt defeated and resigned myself to massage, physio exercises and yoga. Then one evening, at the Aroma Yoga class led by my Reiki practitioner, she suggested that I talk to her "alternative" chiropractor Dr Tony Sandorfi. Good move. Neuro-structural chiropractic and specifically Dr Tony's thoughtful and compassionate delivery of chiropractic care is giving me hope. I am convinced that looking for underlying conditions rather than just treating my symptoms will be the answer. A mind/body connection is real. Neuro-structural chiropractic is real. There are no coincidences and I am grateful for the path that led me to The Happy Spine. Great move.

Fantastic experience: So grateful for the care, compassion - and especially the RESULTS that I've experienced working with Dr. Tony Sandorfi. His skill and healing hands helped me through a post concussion recovery to the point where I have no more pain. I continue therapy with Dr. Tony to optimize my overall health and well-being, which is something I should have done years ago rather than wait for a crisis to prompt me to get help. Forget anything you thought you knew about conventional chiropractic therapies - this is quite unique but very effective. These techniques really work - and I couldn't ask for a more skilled and sensitive health partner who understands the many subtle mind-body interconnections within us all.

Fantastic experience: I began seeing Dr. Tony 3 year ago to help with body pain and my increased stress levels. I have noticed huge improvements under his great care and look forward to my visits to help my body and mind maintain their calmer state. The holistic approach offered at The Happy Spine will leave you feeling very well cared for...body, mind and spirit.

Fantastic experience: When I first met Dr Tony Sandorfi, I was in constant chronic pain. I couldn't stand myself, couldn't sleep, couldn't think straight. My whole being was in constant hypervigilant state. Right away, Dr Tony gave me hope. Indeed, after my first visit, I started to sleep better. After a few weeks, pain gradually decreased. What was even more amazing, was how my mind found peace again. I was guided throughout my healing process. The Happy Spine is way more than just a chiropratic practice, although they excel at what they do. Every time someone enters the clinic, he/she is greeted with kindness, empathy, care, and compassion. The Happy Spine has made a tremendous difference in my life. So much so that I brought my whole family. I recommend their service wholeheartedly!

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of Dr. Tony’s for just over 1 year. I serendipitously found my way to him after a serious spinal cord injury at the gym which felt to me as though the lower half of my spine from the T9/10 down was 2 inches to the left of the upper spine. Having had spinal cord surgery 15 years prior to remove a tumor in that area which paralyzed me I was terrified. Tony gave freely of his time and energy at the initial COMPLEMENTARY consultation. I felt comfortable sharing with him some of the violence and abuse I had experienced as a child/teen and how I had studied many different complementary/alternative healing modalities to heal myself . I recall telling him that I came from a family of 10 and was the only one who had chosen the alternative healing path . Deemed “crazy” by friends and family members alike I isolated myself from many. Tony leaned forward and said “I will not judge you”. Somehow in that moment I knew I could trust him to assist me. That was very important given my experiences in life had resulted in an inability to trust; self, others and now with this injury my body. Fast forward approximately 5 months, and thanks to Tony’s excellent care my spine is better , my body stronger and I no longer favor or fear hurting it again during my workouts. Equally and maybe more importantly the work with Tony has gotten me back on the path of reclaiming and embodying my divine self and embracing my innate gifts many of which I had hidden. I have observed my intuition is much stronger and my short term memory (which neuropsychological testing indicated was in the 3rd percentile from the childhood trauma I experienced) is improving. As a highly sensitive empath I have experienced a huge difference in my ability to recognize when I have embodied /expressed others and bring myself back. I listen to my body more and honor it without judgement. For these reasons I continue to see Tony on a weekly basis. A Master in his own right, Tony is highly intuitive and I am ALWAYS amazed at how he can with a gentle touch put a finger here or there and all of a sudden I am releasing a long repressed emotional trauma that I was unaware I stored in the body. A Kind, Gentle, Authentic, Heart Centered, Compassionate Man, I am eternally grateful to have Dr. Tony on my team.

Fantastic experience: I started to see Dr. Tony months after a serious car accident and was feeling hopeless and overwhelmed by my concussion. Since then, I have been feeling so much better (emotionally and physically). I have long suffered from chronic pain and that too has gotten so much better. I have spent years trying to manage that and have seen results with Dr.Tony that I have not seen in years. My daughter also sees Dr. Tony and I have noticed significant changes in her as well! Dr. Tony's compassionate and warm approach to care and his commitment to supporting you in your health goals has made this such a positive experience in my recovery.

Fantastic experience: I have not found many practitioners that I can trust to work at such a deep level and who truly allow you to guide your own healing process and honour you and where you are at like Dr. Tony does. Ten years ago I was living in a box surrounded by many emotional and physical limitations that affected every aspect of my life. My healing journey had been lengthy and multi-layered due to limitations created by ankylosing spondalytis and environmental illness. Over the years, Dr. Tony has gently guided me out of this box to freedom and a life full of passion and joy! I am doing things now not only with the flexibility and movement I have gained back with my spine but in my life that I never dreamed possible!

Fantastic experience: I started seeing Dr. Tony because I was experiencing very intense head aches that would leave me in so much pain that I couldn't function. In less than a month I was no longer experiencing the intense head aches and was able to use some of the tools that Dr. Tony provided to help manage the underlying issue. I continue to work with Dr. Tony and am so very grateful for his ability to correct my issue and for his knowledge that supports a healthier lifestyle. Since my wife and 2 year old son are also seeing Dr. Tony, he has made an incredibly positive impact on our lives. Thank you Dr. Tony!

Fantastic experience: I have practiced NeuroStructural chiropractic care for over 20 years and I have known Dr. Tony for many of those years. Dr. Tony provides an environment for healing where you feel safe, supported and that you are getting the care you need. I would not only recommend Dr. Tony but encourage anyone to seek him out as your holistic health care practicianer.

Fantastic experience: Tony is an empowering health care practitioner. He has made me an active participant in my healing process, and the results have been excellent. I came to him for a torn meniscus, and his treatment has not only improved my knee but also increased my energy level, and made me more agile and flexible, both physically and mentally.

Fantastic experience: On mid-December 2016 I started treatment with Dr. Tony Sandorfi. At that time, I was experiencing (7 days a week and 24 hours) a strong discomfort in the neck and shoulders area – in a scale of 1 to 10, it was 9. After the first treatment, I immediately felt those areas relaxing and that night for the first time in a few months, I slept all night; since then I have been pain-free. As I am continuing the treatment, I feel the difference in my body and the general well-being increasing! I look forward to every visit because I experience more healing at all levels. Thank you so much Dr. Tony, it is a blessing for me, my family, friends that you practice in the Ottawa region! With Gratitude.

Fantastic experience: Grateful I have been a client of The Happy Spine for a little over 3 years. I am thankful everyday for Network Care and how it has changed me in every aspect of my life. Through the patience of Dr. Tony and our combined efforts I have become more aware, open, positive, focused and at peace with the past stories and experiences in my life and for this moment now, the future and the dreams that can become reality. I have a deeper connection with my body's messages and rhythms, learning to pay attention to my breathing and connect more with myself, increased understanding of how my body can repair and heal itself and a greater acceptance of who I am and that I can control all things whether it be physical, emotion, mental or spiritual. This in turn gives me the power to step back from pain, stress, conflict and all emotions to be more adaptable to life's situations and to have a clear and open look at myself and others without needing to fix things. I am excepting of challenge and look forward to what life has in store. I am excited being on this journey and acquiring the tools to move forward in a more productive healing and healthy lifestyle and wish that all people could experience Network Spinal Care. Thank you Dr. Tony for your caring, compassion, dedication and contribution to my well being. I am ever so grateful for the chance to be a part of this great movement. Betty Lou

Fantastic experience: Dr. Tony is gentle and attentive in his approach to each individual's holistic healing journey. I have felt extremely at ease in his presence and open to receive the assistance he provides. Every entrainment has been an opening and clearing experience and I come away feeling at ease, more fluid and at peace...how can healing not occur within that scenario. Thank-you for your assistance along my journey.

Fantastic experience: Enriching experience I have been a practice member of The Happy Spine since 2008. The reasons for my regular visits have evolved with the unfolding of events life had in store for me - sciatica, bicycle accident, grief. In an attempt to first alleviate physical pain and after exhausting other options, I was referred to The Happy Spine. In a very short period of time I discovered the entrainments received were making me feel better at all levels: physical, emotional, mental, psychological, spiritual. I learned about "ME," discovered new tools about breathing, focusing, the flow of energy. I derive so much benefit that continuing the process is important to me - it is a personal healing journey. At The Happy Spine I receive help to help myself and am always treated with respect. I am most grateful to Dr. Tony. My visits at The Happy Spine have been an enriching experience.

Fantastic experience: Back pain brought me to Dr. Tony Sandorfi. Within a few treatments the pain was gone and the accumulated stress I had been carrying was well on its way to being better managed. Excellent care and great outcomes. The Happy Spine is highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: When I first met Tony, I instantly felt a beautiful sense of ease and openness emanating from him. His presence is felt both in person and naturally within his clinic space too, which I've continuously felt to be welcoming, calm, and very soothing. My experiences with the entrainments have proven to be far more healing in nature than I had anticipated, releasing long-held trauma (18+yrs!) from within my body-being. Oh, the FREEDOM! There is too much to try and articulate here, but suffice it to say that Tony's capacity to provide a professional yet compassionate space, one where I've been able to let go and allow all that needs to arise, release and realign within me, has felt unparalleled. His gentle humour and open-hearted presence have provided a sense of safety in allowing my deeper essence to be seen and emerge more fully. Wahe Tony! Thank you for all that you've offered to me in such a short amount of time. I have much gratitude for your divine, open-hearted, yet professional expression :)

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of Dr. Tony and The Happy Spine for more than 10 years now and I am grateful every day to have found this approach for my health and healing. Over the years, I have experienced much clarity, insights and calmness and this in turn has supported me in making necessary life changes in my work, health and relationships. I feel much more resilient now and better able to manage every day stresses. Network chiropractic care has helped me to heal old emotional wounds and to adopt new behavioural patterns that not only support me but also help me be the person I want to be in life and in my relationships. Dr. Tony’s gentle demeanor, kindness and deep wisdom ensure a completely uplifting experience for everyone who attends The Happy Spine.

Fantastic experience: Last summer, I was referred to The Happy Spine by a relative. I was suffering from a lower back injury for over 7 years, which was causing constant pain. The level of pain would vary in intensity, but it was truly affecting my quality of life, my mood and my general well-being, and I needed a solution. Now, 8 months into my treatments, I believe I've found what I've been looking for, thanks to Dr. Tony @ The Happy Spine. To preface, I've tried other methods of treatment. Medically, the doctors weren't able to detect any issue by x-ray, so they weren't of much help. I was referred to physiotherapy, which I did for a full year. It did help in some ways, but it seemed to only address symptoms - not the source of the issue. The pain never really went away, and got worse again some time after stopping physio. I also tried various forms of therapeutic massage, which provided temporary relief from the pain, but nothing that lasted. My next step was to explore chiropractic options. Its important to point out that not all chiropractors practice the same form of therapy, and it seems that a lot of people have strong misconceptions about them. The traditional perception of this type of therapy is that there is a lot of "cracking", from the application of pressure to the back and elsewhere. This may be true of some chiropractors -- but not all... and the reason The Happy Spine appealed to me is because this method is NOT the primary method used. The Happy Spine's resident chiropractor, Dr. Tony, practices what's called "network" therapy. I'm no expert, so I'll describe it in the way that makes the most sense to me -- Dr. Tony employs a "soft touch" approach. This is a combination of leveraging various neural points on the body, various alignment exercises, and both breathing and stretching techniques. Plus... Dr. Tony actively listens to what you are saying, and how you feel your body is responding to his methods. His professionalism and expertise in his field are second only to his compassionate and affable manner with this patients. The goal of Dr. Tony's efforts is to promote "wellness" in his patients. For me, this is a complex concept, and perhaps a little more "meta-physical" than I'm used to... :-) I'd describe it as a state of being where the body AND mind are able to deal and heal from the impact of the regular stresses we place upon it, not to mention more severe traumas from injury. His treatments help deal with both the symptoms and the source, and beyond. In my case, due to my injury and the compensating I've been doing to avoid the pain for years, I've created a whole slew of side-effects that I have to deal with. Dr. Tony is helping to undo the damage done to my body, so that both it and my mind can regain balance and re-learn how to heal from these injuries, to live better. The long and short of it is that I've experienced more pain-free days in the past 8 months than I have at any time in the past 8 years. I've regained the ability to exercise regularly, without fearing about causing myself additional injury or discomfort. But more importantly -- in the absence of constant pain, my mood and general outlook on life has improved tremendously. I only realized how much it was affecting me once the pain was removed, and this gives me a very different and positive outlook on life to learn to live with. I'm not cured, but I know that my body has healed more in these 8 months than I did with any other treatment method. And... I've only scratched the surface of the techniques Dr. Tony can help me with on my path to wellness. I would strongly recommend Dr. Tony @ The Happy Spine to anyone seeking to improve their quality of life. If you suffer from acute pain, or even just an inability to do certain things due to discomfort ... that lack of "wellness"... give Dr. Tony a shot.
