ProActive Health Group

After visiting multiple chiropractors and physiotherapists no one was able to help with my lower back pain. After a recommendation from a coworker I came and saw Greg and he was able to diagnose the issue and started working on the problem right away. He set me up with Mellissa and between her and Greg I can move around pain free. Greg doesn't just do adjustments, he figures out what’s wrong and uses multiple techniques to correct the issue.

If you need a massage, Maggie Bruce is the person to see. She will push you to your own personal limit, but has an incredible intuition to know when to either apply less pressure or more without interrupting a truly relaxing experience. She is an excellent conversationalist, and has a heated table, so the hour just flies by.
If you want some aches and pains taken care of and a really deep sleep that night with a fully recharged feeling of amazing the day after, go see Ms. Bruce. She gets 10/5 stars.

Dr. Uchacz was instrumental in creating a treatment plan for me that started me walking again after 3 weeks in the hospital not only failed with a diagnosis but also a treatment plan. He was able to diagnose the issue in my back, treat it locally to get me walking again and then refer me to outside providers for injection therapy to provide long term stability. I also saw his Physio Therapist, Melissa Benoit, who put together an exercise plan which greatly helped in my recovery. Together they got me walking on my feet again after many consults with hospital Neurology provided no plan, no vision and no hope. I thank Dr. Uchacz for his experience, knowledge and empathy.

For a number of years, I’ve gone to ProActive Health Group and see my number of the different practitioners. From chiropractors (Dr Uchacz), to massage therapists (Nathan), naturopath (Dr Mandy) and their physiotherapist, I have had an amazing experience with each. I’ve suffered from chronic injuries as well as had some new injuries from physical activity and each time the practitioners absolutely amaze me and how quickly and completely they fix my problems. I recommend all my family and friends to see anybody going to a Proactive. These guys are really at the top of the expert food chain.

Dr Matt - absolute beauty. His initial assessment and first treatment was thorough and full of value. If you’re a higher performer that need maintenance, I would highly recommend this clinic.

My husband and I have both been seeing Dr. Matt for a variety of chiropractic needs. My husband has had extensive shoulder surgery and finds increased mobility as well as relief from pain with the treatments from Dr. Matt. I have trouble sleeping and have dealt with on and off shoulder pain and migraines for years. Visiting Dr. Matt has been the most successful treatment for my aches and pains. Highly recommend.

I cannot praise Greg my chiropractor enough! Following knee surgery, he worked diligently to restore my strength and mobility, enabling to excel in both my physically demanding job and outdoor sports at peak performance. Recently, his expertise alleviated my back pain from an injury, and I now feel revitalized. Besides being a skilled practitioner, Greg’s sense of humor makes each visit a pleasure. He genuinely cares for his patients wellbeing, evident in the personalized care and attention he provides. This remarkable chiropractor is not just a healthcare professional but an indispensable partner in maintaining a healthy and fulfilling life. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking exceptional care!

The team at ProActive is amazing! I've been going there for years and years and years and years and have used their chiro and massage services. Dr Greg Uchacz got me back to good health after a really bad back injury. I did try out a few other places a few times just because of proximity to where I live, but was always disappointed.won't be doing that again. Definitely well worth it for me to drive to the core to see these guys. Thank you.

Physical digression seemed to be part of my bio, I cannot stress just how much of my life Dr. Greg has given back to me. Everyone deserves to lead their best life, and Greg and his team (kudos Dr Mandy as well) have given me my mobility and my enthusiasm to simply " be better " ️

Thank you

I have consistently had nothing but positive experiences with ProActive. I highly recommend Nathan as an RMT, as he has been instrumental in resolving several of my issues, including recurring headaches.

Highly recommend Dr. Greg Uchacz! Very informative and chiropractic care excellent ensuring all your concerns are addressed. I was provided with biomechanic solutions to my long standing weight lifting issues, provided information/answers for my knee pain limitations.

The ProActive team is great! From the front desk staff to all the chiropractors, we highly recommend ProActive as they have helped us with our recovery from being rear-ended, broken rib and golf injury (yes this is possible!). Plus, they have free parking!

I went to Dr. Alex Fitzowich and had a fantastic experience! Noticed improvement after the first visit and he helped provide solutions to areas I wasn't even aware needed the additional attention (but absolutely did!).

Dr. Uchacz and his team have helped me return from multiple sports injuries over the last twelve years or more. Shoulder, tennis elbow, knees. No-nonsense communication and expertise is what you can expect.

I would not have been able to enjoy sport into middle age as much as I've been able to without this team.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Matt Jirjis for over a year now and he has been so helpful. He is very invested and clearly very patient, and he goes above and beyond what is expected and does everything he can to improve my posture and get me back into the gym. Admin is also always great and I feel like I’m visiting family every time I go!

Proactive Health Group has been phenomenal. The front desk staff are incredibly welcoming, super helpful and quick to get you in and out and book you for follow ups.

And Dr. Jirjis has been a huge help to my mobility. I’ve had neck/trap problems from my desk job/lack of movement. He takes a more physio approach, making sure the muscles are relaxed and released before adjustments to make sure it’s the most effective. He also explains everything he’s doing, why and how it affects you so you can be proactive and look out going forwards. Lastly, he’s given me stretches and exercises to help reduce the pain/lack of movement on my own, so that I have the best shot to be comfortable. Highly recommend to anyone, great chiro!

I have been a patient of Dr. Uchacz's for just over 8 months following my participation at the World's Longest Hockey Game marathon, where he and his staff had donated their services for the charity game. Over the 8 months, Uchacz has been instrumental in healing not only a rib injury from the game, but a subsequent knee injury. He, along with his whole staff, have been so professional, attentive and efficient. His experience is bar none, having worked closely with various sporting groups like Olympic teams, Calgary Flames and Calgary Roughnecks. I trust his guidance and opinions regarding course of action and am always seen in a timely fashion.

The clinic obviously has been great for sport specific injuries, but the rest of the staff offers top-notch services for overall health and wellbeing, or any other injuries.

Proactive health group is well organized. Great patient care! Dr Matt is very professional. Would highly recommend

Had am amazing experience at Proactive. I was previously a non-believer until going to this clinic. Big thanks to Dr. Fitzowich for getting me back to my pain free baseline!

Proactive health group has been helping me for the last couple of years due to various reasons. The experience provided by this clinic is great. I have personally been treated by Dr. Alex Fizowhich for the most of the time I have gone there. He is an amazing physio/chiro who really values his patients various issues and makes sure to do his best to solve the problems they have. On top of that the staff that work there are very respectful and helpful. I would recommend to anyone who wishes to go to a good physio clinic to check out this place.

This is by far the best clinic I have been to. I have booked chiro, massage and physio appointments and all of them have been thorough and very knowledgeable. The front desk Admin is also amazing, very friendly!

I’ve been receiving chiropractic care since 1978 when I was incapacitated by ankylosing spondylitis. Dr Greg Uchacz was recommended to me by a chiropractor in Halifax when I moved to Calgary and I have been seeing him for twenty years. I have to say that Greg understands and takes care of my problems better than anyone else I’ve been treated by. I highly recommend Dr Greg!

Chiropractic treatment with Dr Alex Fitzowich was great, feels like he really cares and works with you for long term care

I've had chronic neck and back pain for 15+ years, & last year had a pinched nerve in my neck. Dr. Matt Jirjis has helped me get back my mobility and back to living and sleeping pain-free. His approach to treatment has been a breathe of fresh air. Where other Chiro's I've been to simply just do adjustments and then referred me to a physiotherapist, Dr. Jirjis incorporates physio in his treatments, He warms up the muscles and soft tissue which helps remove tension in the area and THEN does chiro adjustments - which I found leads to a more effective adjustment. He's taught me exercises for me to do on my spare time to continue to improve my condition (which are all helping!) and continually follows up with me to see how I'm progressing. He genuinely cares for his patients and wants to see them improving. He may be young, but he's very professional and extremely knowledgeable in his field. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Jirjis at Proactive!

We thought my Son’s hockey season was over for the year. Dr. Greg was able to treat our son’s knee and he was back on the ice in a week!

I have been seeing Dr. Alex for my basketball injury and I am doing way better than before. My whole family sees Dr. Alex, and has helped my mom the most since her migraines are gone, Highly recommend going to this clinic! Thanks Dr. Alex, you’re the best!

I’ve been dealing with lower back pain from previously working in retail and standing for 8 hours a day, and Dr. Alex and Dr. Uchacz have helped me a lot. Now I am able to sleep and stand better! I have also been treated by Melissa, and she is a great physiotherapist and has helped released some muscle tension in my lower area. I also see Dr. Mandy for IV therapy and Naturapathic appointments and I have noticed a huge difference in my sleep and gut health. All in all, this is a great clinic and highly recommend this place!

Dr. Alex at ProActive Health Group is great, knowledgeable, and really understands sports injuries. He communicates clearly as to what is going on. The staff are all very friendly and make it an all around amazing experience.

From chiro, physio, naturopath, and massage therapist, everyone has helped me stay at the top of my game. Knowledgeable and caring staff.

Dr. Alex was great, he got me on a quick recovery timeline so I was able to be active on my trip. Flexible appointments made it easy to come in and seek treatment.

I have used Chiropractic services for 30 years and you will not find a better practitioner. Having had both minor and major issues Greg has been able to alleviate my symptoms and correct issues others have not. Staff are courteous and efficient - I highly recommend the ProActive Health Group!

When you walk into ProActive Health you see hundreds of ‘thank you! ’ testimonials from professional and Olympic athletes going back over 20 years. Greg and his team are amazing and know what is needed to get you back to health! You can trust them - that’s based not only on my experience but on referrals I’ve made.

Absolutely the best place to go! Dr. Uchacz is amazing, he always goes above and beyond to give the best service possible. Everyone there is so welcoming and friendly too!

Before coming to PHG in 2020 I had issues with my left hamstring that prevented me from being able to sprint at 100%. I’ve been to a couple of other places around the city and I honestly regret not choosing PHG first. Thanks to Dr. Uchacz’s phenomenal resume of experience with high performance athletes, Melissa’s physio sessions and Lea’s massages I was finally able to start competing again. I still continue to go here and I am extremely thankful for how knowledgeable all of the staff is as well as how accommodating the receptionists are as well. It’s also awesome to see the hundreds of high performance athletes that have gone through here as well! You can’t help but leave after a session there inspired and determined knowing that you’re in good hands.

Amazing sports clinic, I come here twice a week and Matt fixes me up all the way. Very committed.

A huge thing with me pertaining to covid is they sanitize the room after every patient and leave a little label on the table if it needs to be cleaned or not. I think I've gone to see Dr. Alex Fitzowich about 3 times due to my back constantly hurting after standing for X amount of hours at my retail job. I felt a tremendous difference after my 3 sessions and found Dr. Fitzowich very easy to talk to and relatable. If you live in the Beltline and need some work done, go to ProActive.

I highly recommend Dr. Greg Uchacz. I was referred to him by several of his previous patients. After 2 visits I can already feel a huge difference in my back! Greg is also very down to earth & he and his staff make you feel completely comfortable the minute you walk in the door.

Highly recommend Dr. Greg Uchacz and his team! I was struggling with a lingering lower back strain and they helped to get me back on my snowboard by not only treating the issue but improving my overall strength.

A great experience starts upon entering Pro Active clinic where you are greeted with a smile. Thanks to all the staff for ensuring patients feel welcome. Following a motor vehicle accident, Dr Uchacz and Melissa have addressed my concerns with great Care and attention. Thank you! These ongoing treatments have allowed me to maintain some level of normalcy in my life. Of course a sense great humour helps, thank you Dr Uchacz.

I had my first massage with cupping from Andrew today and it was amazing! Would highly recommend.

Great facility, very clean and organized!

Front office staff is very friendly and kind, Vanessa helped me out with all of my booking matters.

Had an appointment with Dr. Matt Jirjis who was very knowledgeable and experienced. He was able to identify an ongoing and debilitating problem I’ve been experiencing for months. Through his treatments, the problem has been resolved!

It’s been a couple years now that I’ve gone for various issues to ProActive Health group. I can say without a doubt that ProActive Health Group is the best clinic I’ve ever gone to. As an athlete, I’m always striving to be better and looking for people that can help me to perform my best. I can say unequivocally that the practitioners at Proactive Health Group excel in their craft and they go above and beyond, and I am I’ve never gone to clinic where I’ve had such excellent healthcare. I recommend anyone to go there whether it’s chiropractic, physiotherapy, naturopath, or massage therapy. I am forever grateful for dr Greg, dr Alex and Physio John.

I came to Greg about three years ago with unbearable sciatic pain that had been going on for about a year. I'd tried every possible treatment and nothing seemed to fix the problem. My family doctor said I should just be glad I can still walk. I've been a "mountain athlete" my whole life and just being able to walk was not a reality I could accept. A friend referred me to Greg who confidently told me he could get me back to my sports. A year later I was not only participating in my activities, I was back racing. Since then I've managed my back health by committing to regular appointments with Greg and maintaining my fitness. This year I competed in Provincial and Pro National Motocross and I am 41 years old. I feel better than ever - thanks to Greg and his team:)

I first started seeing Dr. Uchacz years ago after an ankle operation. He fixed me right up post-op. I later returned to his clinic after another operation on my other ankle. Again, he fixed me up in no time. When I started having back trouble years later I mucked around with other treatments at great expense. I regret not thinking of Uchacz earlier because he had me feeling 100% after 2 treatments. I went from being unable to put my own stocks on to playing hockey in a week.
My lesson: make him your first call.

I highly recommend Dr. Uchacz and his team! The professionalism combined with a slight touch of humor made me relax and feel at ease.and they helped me immensely with my injury!

IF YOU DONT BELIEVE IN CHIROPRACTIC CARE PLEASE READ.

So I started seeing Dr Greg Uchacz due to a concussion I recieved from a MVA and before this time I found chiropractic did not work for me (very much ANTI CHIRO). Let me tell you this gentleman is the most knowledgeable person I have ever been to in my injury recover career.

I have played rugby for almost 14 years and againts/with players that have played on team canada, bc summer games for rugby, AAA midget baseball, provincial wrestling and track in high-school, I have dislocated my ankle, ACL Sprain, MCL injury, sore neck, and sprained my ankles on nunberous occasions along with miscellaneous other pulled muscles. I have been very selective with my physiotherapy places as I do not like the places where it is your "Heat pack and exercises I'll see you in 20mins once you are finished approach" The physio here is all hands on from what I have had so far and with equipment that I have never seen in the 10+ physiotherapy places I have been to!

In 2020 I was seeing Dr. Greg and we got to a point where his services were only helping me a little bit so instead of telling me to keep seeing him and taking my money (which he could have because I was in such bad shape) he sent me over to Melissa (physiotherapy) at proactive. Since I have been seeing her for my neck/head issues my symptoms have went from 1 day ever 14 days symptom free to 1 issues ever 14 days now.

I can not praise more for what I have got from proactive. Just today I went back to Dr. Greg about pain in my leg (I thought pulled groin with sciatica issues) I have had pain for over a month. Within 30mins I was feeling better then I have all of March. He is not gentle and you will squirm like you have never squirmed before but you will leave feeling sore (haha better the next day) but probably better than when you came in, and if he can't help you there will be someone there that probably can.

Also his walls in his offices spaces have more famous athletes then I have ever seen, he was even the chiropractic person for Canada's Olympic team, if it works them them it will work for me!

The only thing I wished is I had met the team at proactive health group sooner.

100% check them out for all your injury or non injury just maintenance needs you will not be disappointed.

When for my first massage with Andrew and it was fantastic to say the least. The review for this place aren't hype! They're legit and the interaction with the staff were pleasant. Following pandemic protocol were paramount at this establishment which is greatly appreciated. Will return! Thank you again to Andrew and the amazing staff.

Easy beltline access. Great one on one. Melissa has been my physiotherapist for over 10 years. I followed her here. Great service.

Just had my first physio appointment with Melissa. Over the past 10 years I have been to many competing Physio providers and have never felt this level of relief. Amazing, her great technique and communication skills are the best. So happy I found ProActive Health Group.

I have been going to see Dr. Jirjis to work on a shoulder injury that's been bugging me for years. It has only been a couple weeks and I can already feel a drastic improvement. I leave feeling satisfied after every visit and look forward to being able to have a pain free shoulder again.

Cristina was fantastic and did a great job, and addressed my pain points as I am very active. All the staff are welcoming friendly and I will definitely be back again!

Dr. Jirjis and Dr. Mandy are great! I love coming to Proactive because they really offer everything all in one place. Very friendly and welcoming environment.

Really appreciate Cristina McDonogh and all the massage therapists with their high level of experience and expertise at the ProActive Health Group. Cristina targeted areas relieving deep tissue tension from longstanding injuries expertly. It's appreciated that the patient is talked through the session with assessment, targeting and addressing the problem areas expertly. It's also advantageous for me just before chiropractic. I can't sleep a full 7 hours when my back is out and with both treatments I'm able to get good sleep. Only this method of chiropractic and massage works for me (especially after doing yardwork and lifting).

I recently had a shoulder injury that John Wenger was able to diagnose and provide effective exercises for a complete rehabilitation. I would highly recommend John for any physiotherapy needs!

I highly recommend proactive health; in particular, Dr Jirjis has been a wonderful asset to my overall health and healing. He's exceptionally knowledgeable, passionate, personable, and cares a great deal about his patients and whatever it is they bring to him.

The facility itself was clean and welcoming, and I left with my mind and body feeling significantly more relaxed, understood, and healthier!

Will absolutely be going back to see Dr Jirjis!

Dr Greg Uchacz and Registered Massage Therapist Cristina McDonagh are great partners in my regular maintenace.
Tina (Christina) compliments the work that Greg does and her specific treatment focus on the areas I need work on, she keeps me moving. Tina takes the time to understand my activities and customizes the treatment to my needs. Thanks Tina!

I’ve had two chiropractic appointments with Dr. Kevin. Both times he was very polite, knowledgeable and respectful of my personal space.
I’m also looking forward to my next massage with Christina. My first appointment was peaceful, relaxing and really helped me unwind. Times are stressful and I felt very comfortable and relaxed the whole time.

I recently saw Dr. Kevin Tse for a Chiropractic adjustment. He made me feel very comfortable, and explained everything he was doing step by step. He is also very thorough- and sent me lots of resources and rationale to allow me to stretch and take care of myself properly until my next appointment. Dr. Kevin is extremely knowledgeable, and has allowed me to feel pain relief after only a few treatments. Highly recommend!

Education, direction and hope.

I have been dealing with severe nerve pain in my L5 S1 region for years now. The pain is primarily due to bulging discs impinging on my nerves.
My nerve pain has caused me to be bed ridden and even hospitalized on several occasions. I have been pumped full of more cortisone in a few years than any single person should ever use.
I have spent thousands of dollars on treatments and lost countless hours of priceless time with my family and friends due to my pain and physical health.

Initially I only received temporary relief while seeing Dr Mandy. But I was not discouraged as this had become the normal cycle for me at that time: Massive flare up…seek treatment. I then fail to do the proper follow-up exercises and stretches, and a resulting flare up would occur…and the on and on. Dr. Mandy was providing me with the vast knowledge and tools in her toolbox; the trouble was, I was not following my aftercare. Having lost hope in my personal health recovery, I found it easier to treat a flare-up and just wait for the next one. In truth I was a terrible patient because I had given up on myself and I had forgotten what I meant to have a healthy physical body. This logic was severely affecting my mental and physical health.

With Dr. Mandy’s encouragement, I eventually began to follow my treatment plan. I changed my diet, and I consistently completed my stretches and exercises. As a result of her encouragement while I was following her treatment plan, I found my health was beginning to recover and I was becoming less terrified of everyday activities.

I have not been bed ridden in almost 18 months now. I can pick up my kids again, I sleep at night and I am not as worried about performing daily activities. The care I received from Dr Mandy did not come down to just injections in my back; though they certainly did help and made a massive difference in reducing my pain. What helped me more was the bedside manner of a Health Professional who was determined to give me my life back. Her commitment to patient care and not giving up on a patient that was giving up on themselves is what helped me in the end.

Dr Mandy fought hard for me when I could not fight for myself any longer. She motivated me to fight to get my life back. It was a gift that I can never repay.

Do I still have the odd flare up? Yes, absolutely. This is not a miracle cure; you must put in the work too. You have a to be a good patient or even the best doctors cannot help you.

Dr Mandy’s knowledge base is incredible. She is incredibly studious, and she is always personally researching the bleeding edge of what is possible in recovery sciences.

If you are losing hope in a personal health recovery; please consider treatment from Dr Mandy.
Prepare yourself for someone who will not give up on you.

It is going to be hard; but you are worth it.

Visited John Wenger to attempt and gain full range of motion in ankle following a break in the lower tibia. He was very knowledgeable and put me on the track to full mobility. Will definitely be coming back.

Proactive Health Group is in a great location and the front staff are always courteous and welcoming.

I have previously been to a few other chiropractors but have never received the practical advice and improvement as quickly as I have with Dr. Matt Jirjis. Not only have the weekly adjustments been helpful, Dr. Matt has given me several simple exercises and stretches that have given me relief and hope for a long-term solution. I also purchased a new pillow from this clinic, which has greatly improved my sleeping habits.

I have received massage therapy from this clinic with Barb and found it very relaxing and helpful. Barb was incredibly easy to talk to and a calming presence.

Looking forward to my next appointments, and furthering my progress towards less pain and better health.

I have been going to Proactive for several years now. My chiropractor and massage therapist have always done an amazing job at taking great care of me. Every time I have a chiropractic treatment, I feel better after just one treatment which is such a huge relief. The team at the front is always helpful and lovely to deal with as well. Booking appointments is easy and the whole process is seamless. I highly recommend Proactive to anyone needing chiropractic care, massage, naturopathy or physiotherapy.
