Collingwood Chiropractors Coghlan Testimonial

Testimonial "I am from the west coast and was in the area on vacation when I experienced a recurrence of an injury I had sustained 3 weeks prior to starting my vacation.  On the first visit, Dr. Coghlan was able to correct the misalignment and identify a contributing factor that had gone un-diagnosed by 2 other practitioners.  After the second visit, he was able to free up the rotation of my hips, which had remained locked despite 9 treatments after the initial injury.  By the 3rd visit, I felt 100% better.  Gentle, effective and very thorough - he doesn't miss a thing.  I would recommend Dr. Coghlan without hesitation!"
