I recently found a new chiropractor office opened in my building downtown so I decided to give it a go. It was my first time so I was really nervous but Dr. MacDonald was super friendly and helpful. I will be going back to see him for sure.

I just found this Clinic in my building and I was so overjoyed. So glad that Evolve joined the roster of Calgary Place. The clinic was beautiful and Dr. Macdonald was so thorough with his assessment and time he spent discussing my health history and goals. This was the most effective treatment I have ever had, I had been to a few chiropractors who only cracked my neck and that was is. Dr. Macdonald used graston, active release, accupuncture and cracking and even gave me some exercises and stretching plans to do at home. I could not believe the amount of time and energy he puts into his patients. You must check him out.. you will never go to anyone else.. plus the clinic is so beautiful.

Dr. Macdonald and the Evolve team were amazing. The new clinic space was so easy to access from my work, and I was so happy to know that I was in good hands and felt that Dr. Macdonald really took the time to understand my health concerns and put a proactive plan together. He was able to provide a number of different treatments all in one session, far more than I had ever received before. So glad to have found him and the clinic, already feel the pain relief in back back since the appointment this morning.

Dr. Ryan MacDonald is an excellent Chiropractor. He takes the time to do a thorough assessment and treatment. I am a personal trainer and I always refer my clients to him when they are in need. He is great with athletes and always suggests exercises and stretches that will help. He is by far the best chiropractor I have ever seen, highly recommend him.

I have been to other chiropractors who would crack me and I would always feel better but only for a little while. Dr. Macdonald is the only Chiropractor I have ever been to who explained the whole problem to me, my spine, muscles, conditioning, posture, sleeping positions, work positions and how it was causing the pain to come back. We spent 30 minutes working over my whole body, my muscles, and a lot of stretching, acupuncture and adjusting my spine. I felt better right away and have only had to come back a couple times. I improve a lot with every visit! If you want your pain explained and fixed I recommend seeing Dr. Macdonald!

I got massage for a year and physio for several months after that for pain in my arm and numbness in my fingers and nothing helped. Also after all that treatment no one was able to or had taken the time to explain to me what the problem was. I finally listened to a co-worker who has been seeing Dr. Macdonald and had recommended him to me for several months. After hesitantly booking an appointment and getting treatment I was so relieved that I did. He quickly figured out the issue in my neck and where the nerve was being pinched along the way down my arm. In a few visits I had no more numbness or pain and my neck and back was feeling better than is has in years. Now I’m telling people to book in and see Dr. Macdonald.

After getting face-planted and beaten in the waves while on vacation surfing, I could hardly move. My neck was so stiff I could only look straight ahead and it felt like I was run over by a truck. The 8 hour flight home was pure torture. I was in BAD SHAPE! Luckily my buddy recommended Dr. Ryan to me and said he did a lot of sport treatments. I booked in and after the first visit I felt 80% better, I could move without pain and after 3 or 4 visits I was feeling 100%. Dr. Ryan fixed me up awesome and we had a bunch of laughs the whole way though. If you have a bad neck or back DONT WAIT call and book a session, you’ll thank me!

IF YOU NEED A CRACK, SEE DR.MAC!! I've seen a bunch of chiropractors over the years but Dr. Macdonald is by far the best. My back and neck have never felt better! Got pain? Book in, you won't regret it!

Both my wife and I have visited Ryan several times now and can attest that he is excellent! Very thorough and he really spends time with you explaining and diagnosing your issues. He makes sure that you are happy and feeling better prior to leaving and does not pressure you for another appointment. We cannot recommend him any more highly!
