Our Naturopath suggested cranial therapy for my husband and myself as he had some upper neck issues and I had TMJ (jaw) issues. We were unable to find anyone local that offered that service, but stumbled upon Aspen Chiropractic Health Centre and Matrix Repatterning. Our Naturopath said that this would be a great alternative for us. When we both started our treatments my husband had very regular headaches, one or more, almost everyday. I had jaw and teeth pain from grinding and clenching my teeth at night, my jaw had even shifted over the last 10 years because of this bad habit that I had no idea I was doing. After a few weeks of treatments once a week, my husband noticed a lot less headaches, and I stopped waking up with a sore jaw in the morning. And now that we have almost completed our sessions, we have noticed increased energy, better digestion, practically no headaches or jaw pain, and my jaw is now realigned! We both would say that Matrix Repatterning along with some lifestyle changes, has improved our quality of life. We are so thankful to Dr. Elliott and the quality of care that he’s given us over the last few weeks!

I have been in several car accidents throughout my life and have had many head injuries starting as a toddler. I also have had several medical issues during my lifetime and have fallen and hit my head several times as a young person. I was also physically abused many times as a child.

In 2007, I had three strokes which left me crippled on the right side of my body from the shoulder down and was confined to a wheelchair for 8 years because I couldn’t walk. I enrolled in a correspondence course to learn how to do computer repair and used the course as a therapy to rehabilitate my body and get use of my arm and hand back. I succeeded and within six months had regained full use of my arm and hand. My leg, however, did not respond to any type of therapy and my foot was still twisted outwards and when I walked it would drag behind me and my weight was carried on the inside of my ankle bone.

For the next 8 years, I had to have a metal brace on my right ankle and foot to make them strong enough so that I could walk, and I had to have the sole of my left shoe built up by ¾” as the twisting in my body had made my legs different lengths. Eventually, I was able to walk with a walker, then with crutches or a cane, and I had to wear high top shoes that supported my ankles. On good days, I was able to walk without any help if I wore the ankle brace but on bad days I had to revert to the walker or the wheelchair.

I tried many types of treatment including iridology, physiotherapy, chiropractor, vitamin and mineral supplements, prescription drugs, and pure stubbornness trying to be normal, but nothing worked. In desperation, I even tried Manitou Springs (a natural mineral water lake), but it didn’t help either.

In 2020, I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and doctors told me that I would eventually be back in the wheelchair. At that time, I was having a lot of pain particularly in my low back and pelvic region. On many days the pain was so bad, I had difficulty getting out of bed.

That is when I met a woman who told me about Dr. Bruce Elliott, a chiropractor that had really helped her to get rid of her back pain. So, I decided I would see him and see if maybe he would have any luck stopping some of the pain I had. I was hopeful but skeptical that he would be able to do much, but even a little bit of pain relief would be a win for me.

When I met with Dr. Elliott, he told me that he was taking some training in a new procedure called Matrix Repatterning and suggested that we try it since I had already tried chiropractic care and it hadn’t helped me much. He explained to me what it was and how it worked, and I told him that I was willing to try it as I had nothing to lose. Nothing I had tried so far had helped me and I had already been told that I was going to be back in a wheelchair some day. So, I figured the worst that could happen was that I would be back in the wheelchair a little sooner rather than later.

Dr. Elliott was confident that Matrix Repatterning might work but because he was new at it and had very little experience with it at that point, he was uncertain how I might respond to it since I had M.S. and had 3 strokes. He explained that it was a very gentle, safe procedure with very little risk, so I agreed to give it a try.

Dr. Elliott started working on my legs first and I had huge releases of blocked energy which caused my legs to shake violently while he was treating me. After two or three treatments, my pain had reduced to the point where I didn’t need as many pain killers anymore. He then moved on to other problems that showed up after fixing my legs.

After several months of regular treatment, my right foot had straightened out and pointed forward when I walked, and I walked on the bottom of my foot instead of on the inside of my ankle bone. Also, there was almost no pain left in my right hip and knee. As my treatments continued, the releases became less and less violent and it was also much harder to find any problems as many of my injuries had been resolved. I have been able to throw away the brace for my right ankle and foot and wear regular shoes that don’t have the high ankle support. I have also been able to get rid of the left shoe with the thick sole because I don’t need it anymore.

I used to need 10 pain killers a day just to do the little things. Now I don’t use any pain medication! Anyone that knows me – family, friends, and acquaintances are all shocked at the difference Dr. Elliott has made for me using Matrix Repatterning. It used to take me 3-4 days to plant my garden with help. If I did my dishes or washed my laundry, I was unable to do anything for 2 days afterwards. Now, I walk normally, dance, and do all my housework in one day. And it only took me 16 hours to plant my whole garden by myself. Now, I get up every day and live life the way it should be.

Note from Dr. Elliott

This case has been one of the most rewarding of my career. To have been able to help Brenda achieve such a remarkable recovery and to have such a profound impact on her overall health is extremely rewarding. She had so many serious issues to deal with that had been chronic for so long, I was unsure if I would be able to help her. If you had seen her before treatment and after her recovery, you would not believe it was the same person. She is truly a new woman and now has her life back! I feel humbled and greatly honored to have been given the opportunity to help her.

I started Matrix Repatterning with Dr. Elliott on July 27, 2023. I wasn’t at all sure what to expect. My upper back, shoulders, and neck felt tight for years and massage helped but only ever temporarily. I had six sessions of Matrix Repatterning and when I was done, I was amazed at how relaxed my back, shoulders, and neck were.

Additionally, and quite unexpectedly, the arthritic pain I had on the tops of my feet was gone. I had had it for years, just a constant ache. That ache is also gone and it’s been about six months since my last treatment.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Bruce Elliott and Matrix Repatterning!

I was 58 years old when I had a tragic accident while helping a neighbor.  I was spraying moss killer on a roof from a ladder.  When I moved the ladder over to the stamped concrete, I moved the ladder from wet grass that set me up for a critical mistake.  I climbed up the ladder and when I reached the top I stepped onto the roof and the ladder slipped out from under me, catching my foot and pulling me straight down 9 feet onto the concrete.  I had forgotten to tie the ladder. The result was a broken calcaneus bone (heel) in three spots and a permanent titanium plate along with 10 screws in my ankle.  Thankfully that was all that I damaged other than my pride. 

The recovery after my surgical repair was three months with no weight bearing at all.  The doctor did not recommend physio which I thought was strange and still don’t understand to this day.  After seven months the damage caused to the nerves and muscle tissue was causing me pain and I was limping on a regular basis.  Estimated recovery time is 24 months with everything (nerves etc.) grown back by then.   I finally went on my own to the physio therapist to try and resolve the pain issues and for the most part, I gained back my mobility.  Although only to about 60% of what I would call normal, I still had pain while sleeping or walking any distance.

Jump ahead three years from the initial injury and I was recommended by my son-in-law to try Matrix Repatterning with Dr. Elliott as it had worked at alleviating the pain for his wrist injury.  I did a total of 7 treatments, mostly 45 minutes appointments at a time, and I was impressed with the results I experienced.  By the third treatment I had lasting pain relief and by the seventh treatment I was able to be pain free 95% of the time.  Weather and some arthritis cause some very minor aches.

I recently finished a trip that involved about 7 days of hiking 10,000 steps a day up and down in rough terrain.  That was my confirmation that this really worked for me.  My experience with Matrix Repatterning has given me back the ability to move around again pain free. 

I would highly recommend this treatment as it repairs the body on a cellular level allowing the body to properly heal. 

Thanks again Dr. Elliott, you helped me get back to a pain-free normal life!
