Testimonials for Dr. Linda Drake, Chiropractor

Testimonials for
Dr. Linda Drake, Chiropractor

Three nights and almost no sleep. Headache and a strange pain that started in my jaw and spread all over the neck and inside my ears. Even hard to describe. During a business trip Dr. Linda Drake was doing here in Playa Del Carmen, at some point I was hard to hide and I shared my discomfort with her. Dr. Drake kindly offered me a quick treatment to help me. In less than an hour session, she was able to release all the stress I was feeling and worked in other points in my back that I could ever thought could be related to my pain. The relief was immediate! At this same night I could sleep well again and no sign of the pain I had in the past week. I’m incredibly grateful and impressed with her technique, knowledge and more important how relax she was able to make me feel during and after the session. Thank so much Dr. Drake. You are really amazing.

I've been seeing Dr. Linda Drake for some months now, and it would not be an understatement to say my experience here has been life-altering. I've suffered from migraine-like headaches since I was very little, but a few months ago I started getting especially bad headaches constantly, which was quite debilitating and nerve-wracking. I finally realized these headaches might be related to bad posture (my job involves sitting at a desk for hours) and went to see Dr. Drake. What I immediately appreciated was how caring and careful she was, and how she really took the time to listen to my symptoms and look for root causes of my condition. She also took great pains to explain what seemed to be wrong with my spine and body generally, as well as describe exactly what her treatment was going to be. I appreciated that she was taking non-intrusive measures, but didn't expect how effective they would be! I've now been headache-free for months, have much better posture and can just feel my body operating differently. I've been very fortunate to find a practitioner who takes your concerns seriously, looks for long-term solutions and provides treatment that is both gentle and effective. It's always a pleasure to go in for my appointments as well - everyone is so sweet and I feel well cared-for. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for treatment options!

Testimonials for Dr. Aleem Remtulla, Chiropractor

I first came to see Dr. Remtulla for back, hip, and wrist issues. Since the treatments, I've noticed multiple improvements such as decrease in pain in my back and hips, and much less tingling in my wrists and hands. The treatments last and each one builds on the previous ones. My experience with more traditional chiropractors has been that I would go out of alignment again and again.

Dr. Remtulla is amazing. He was recommended to me by medical doctor and I am so grateful to have found him. He has been helping me tremendously with an old injury that has been causing lots of pain and inflammation in my body. He is a true professional and has an endless amount of knowledge about treating old injuries and arthritic conditions. He is hands down the best chiropractor I have met and has helped me so much in even just a few sessions with pain management and treatment. Dr. Remtulla is also a very kind person who cares a lot about his patients and is so easy to talk to. If I could give him more stars I would but the max here on Google Reviews is five 🙂 Oh and Mary the office administrator is so lovely and helpful. She always goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome.

I was experiencing some neck/upper back pain, so I booked a last minute session with RMT, Crystal. It was my first time going to this clinic and it was one of the best massages I have ever received!

I have been coming to see Ms. Ridley for 5 months after suffering a lower back injury. While waiting for an MRI and eventually surgery, my sessions with Ms. Ridley have been instrumental in reducing pain and maintaining my mental health. I find Ms. Ridley to be very personable, knowledgeable and incredibly kind. When I told her I was experiencing extreme nerve pain, Ms. Ridley went home and researched oils and aromatherapy that help alleviate nerve pain. I have continued my treatment with Ms. Ridley post op as well. She has been an integral part of my recovery and I cannot thank her enough. I would recommend Ms. Ridley to family, friends or anyone seeking a Registered Massage Therapist.

Testimonials for
Isabel Da Silva RTCMP, Acupuncture, Cosmetic Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine

Isabel is arguably one of the most talented and personable acupuncturists in the field! I have had the pleasure of receiving treatment from Isabel for a few years now, which has allowed me to regain mobility after several injuries. She really invests the time and energy in long term rehabilitation and alleviation of pain and discomfort from any issues you may have. She is not only talented in her craft, but also genuinely cares about the overall well being of her clients! I highly recommend Isabel to anybody seeking a talented and caring acupuncturist!

I have been seeing Isabel for acupuncture treatments for just over a year, and I always look forward to my appointments with her. She is incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and overall just a lovely person. You can tell she takes immense pride in her work. She was also the first person I had ever seen for acupuncture, and I immediately felt at ease with her despite my slight apprehension toward needles! She has helped me through various struggles I’ve had with my body, from getting my cycle back on track to recently tackling a new plantar fasciitis issue. I couldn’t recommend Isabel highly enough - I’m so lucky to be a patient of hers

I have been seeing Isabel for the past year and a half, she is amazing at what she does, and I don't even like needles. I initially saw Isabel for neck pain, and after learning what else acupuncture can offer, I have continued to come back to explore all the other aspects she can treat. She also has a great social media presence where she provides explanations on different acupuncture/cupping treatments. 10/10 would recommend seeing Isabel.
VV
Isabel is a caring and compassionate healer to say the very least. She listens to her patients and genuinely works in collaboration with them to give successful results. In the past my experience with acupuncturists have have been rushed and inauthentic but with Isabel this was not the case. She has successfully treated my digestion issues to shoulder and back pain throughout my journey with her these past 2 years. If you are looking for a natural medical professional that will collaborate with you, make you feel valued, important and see results she will satisfy your needs.

Isabel's care is like no other! She is extremely knowledgeable and educates you on any questions you may have. My job is very hard on my body especially my back and neck and seeing her for acupuncture treatment has helped tremendously and was always a instant relief with her! She is very passionate in what she does and very passionate in womens health which I absolutely love. I was hesitant trying accupunture and Isabel made me feel so comfortable! I cannot recommend Isabel enough!
CM
I’ve never been to acupuncture prior to seeing Isabel and I can’t believe how much I was missing out. Isabel honestly changed my life for the better and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone I meet. I was struggling with many hormonal, mental and physical issues that I could never seem to balance on my own. Isabel was able to help treat and manage all of the horrible symptoms I was having. I honestly have never felt as good as I have after seeing Isabel consistently, My body has never felt so in sync. What I love about Isabel is that she listens and cares and does everything she can to help, it feels so nice to be heard and my symptoms were never brushed aside like I have experienced in the past. I recommend Isabel a million times over!
IM
Isabel has been treating me for PMS and other menstrual related issues since 2018. Every time I leave my appointment I feel calmer and I attribute the improvement in my symptoms completely to her. She is consistent, driven, and passionate about her patients and her work. As a massage therapist, I value the integrity in other health care practitioners and therefore I have recommended all my clients to her.
