Here are a group of testimonies and case study research articles of patients from the International Chiropractic Pediatrics Association.

Dr. Kris Dorken is a member in good standing of the ICPA, CCA, OCA, CCPA and holds the CACCP, a certificate from the Academy of Chiropractic Family Practice. He holds the highest designation from the ICPA and ACFP in the central Toronto area.

Here is what our patients say about the care they receive at Core Natural Wellness Centre:

"I first sought care for my infant son's acid reflux after reading about it online. Prior to my visit, I had no idea that chiropractic care can help with infant reflux. After just a couple of visits, my son reflux improved dramaticaly and his irritability lessened. He also cried less. I was amazed at how quickly we saw results. Dr. Kris Dorken has taken the time to educate myself and my husband about the causes of our son's acid reflux. Now, I feel as though I have a better understanding of the role that the spine plays in achieving optimum health. Dr. Kris Dorken emphasizes a holistic approach to his chiropractic practice."
- Edyta G., Age 31 speaking of 4 month old son Ethan

"After many years of suffering from neck pain, I have finally found relief thanks to Dr. Kris Dorken at Core Family Chiropractic. Just 4 weeks into his program, the pain is gone. What a wonderful feeling! More than a chiropractor, Dr. Dorken is a 'Life Coach' who inspires his patients to make the lifestyle changes that will improve their health. He is also their friend. Thank you, Dr. Kris!"
- Madeline B., Age 62

"Frequent episodes of neck pain initially brought me to Dr. Kris. Occasionally, when I would lift my head or turn left or right, I would lift my head or turn left or right and I would hear a pop and experience significant pain for weeks. I also suffered from low back pain, hip pain, left arm pain and severe headaches.
My medical doctor prescribed pain pills and anti-inflammatory drugs which didn’t offer any relief. After years of pain and frustration and no relief, I am very happy that I went to see Dr. Kris. After taking X-Rays, Dr. Kris discovered an abnormal curve in my neck. After just a few weeks of chiropractic adjustments and traction, also following Dr. Kris’s healthy eating, lifestyle, exercises and stretches. I feel better than I’ve felt for years, not only have these episodes of neck pain stopped, but I have also noticed that I no longer have lower back pain, hip pain, and my left arm pain. They are all gone, and I no longer have headaches. I am able to turn my head much easier with no pain. Walking is much more enjoyable and I can now perform normal daily activities.
I would encourage anyone who has pain or discomfort to contact Dr. Kris Dorken and learn how he can help you fix the problem and improve your quality of life.
My advice to anyone new to chiropractic care are DO NOT listen to the horror stories about the chiropractor causing more pain than they heal. I’ve heard it all, but today, I am happy I did not listen to anyone because I am now pain free and my whole body just feels better. Finally, do everything they ask of you (like exercises, stretches and eating healthy).
Thank you Dr. Kris Dorken,"
- Marian M., Age 37

"Since coming, I am able to stand on my feet pain-free longer than previously. My middle back also hurts much less often. I sleep longer and better and am generally in a better mood. Trips to the loo are much more regular as well. Advice to someone new to chiropractic care: Do It!"
- Stefan O., Age 33

"I woke up one morning and I was afraid. I had lost sensation in my left hand. I knew that this could be caused by a pinched nerve, but I had been to numerous (3) chiropractors before and no-one seemed to be able to help. Fortunately, I saw someone in my workplace flipping through some of Dr. Dorken's "Core Exercises". I was curious and asked what they were. My co-worker explained about "Core Natural Wellness Centre" and I called the next day. I was very impressed! Although the office was closed, Dr. Dorken was accessible in case of emergency. He provided his patients with his cell phone number. I had seen one chiropractor on-and-off for over 15 years with little help. He kept telling me he had trouble accessing the problem joint due to the nature of my injury. And he had never provided me with an after hours emergency number. The numbness in my left hand is gone! I am delighted. I was afraid that this would be a debilitating problem that would only worsen as I got older. Dr. Dorken was correct on all counts. He maintains that given an opportunity, the body will heal itself. I still have a rotator cuff injury, which Dr. Dorken tells me is a long process to heal, but I am optimistic with the combination of adjustments, exercises, nutrition consults, workshops and Dr. Dorken's encouragement, I am well on my way to better health!" -Rena W., Age 51
