Services designed to keep you pain-free.
When you’re active and limited mobility is slowing you down, we can help.
CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Chiropractic largely focuses on the structure and movement of the body. It’s not limited to the spine, rather encompasses all joints and soft tissues and nerves that connect it. Ensuring that your joints and body are moving well prevents bigger challenges down the road. It is an important part of a maintaining healthy lifestyle.
Chiropractors are considered Primary Care Providers in the province of Alberta. We can do all imaging, diagnosis and treatment of neuro-musculoskeletal conditions within our scope of practice. Anything outside of our scope would indicate a referral to a specialist such as orthopedist, neurologist, or specialized imaging which we can provide.
A first-time treatment requires an intake appointment and health history. Ongoing care may require repeat assessments. Once acute injuries or issues are resolved, ongoing treatments are faster and simpler to maintain overall health.
HOW CHIROPRACTIC INTAKE WORKS
1: Intake
When you enter our office for the first time, you’ll be greeted by our welcoming team, our highest priority is to make you feel comfortable.
2: EXAM
The first visit is a full medical history and exam so we fully understand your health picture, not just your biomechanics. We will create an individualized treatment plan catered to you.
3: pLAN
We may explore referrals or diagnostic tools that are indicated. Your individualized treatment plan may include at home exercises, nutritional counselling or therapeutic aides.
4: TREATMENT
If an adjustment is indicated, you will receive your first one at the end of your intake appointment. You’ll also be provided with next steps to ensure that you’re on your way to feeling better.
THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE
Therapeutic Massage is used to manage muscle and fascial dysfunction such as soreness, injury, sprains and strains. Massage can also be used to improve lymphatic drainage, blood flow and mobility. Massage can be an independent treatment option or a co-treatment strategy with Chiropractic care. While Chiropractic care addresses joint function, massage can support tissue through the healing process.
A Registered Massage Therapist must have completed 2400 hours of training through an accredited program and complete continuing education annually. A Registered Massage Therapist has an in-depth understanding of the musculoskeletal system. They are trained to have various tools and techniques to address challenges in the muscles. Only Registered Massage Therapists are covered by third insurance providers.
ACUPUNCTURE
Contemporary Medical Acupuncture can be beneficial as a treatment for acute or chronic pain and injuries. Acupuncture stimulates neuromodulation for tissue healing and can assist in managing the body’s stress response.
Acupuncture is a beneficial treatment when using a holistic approach to health and can help restore balance within the body. This practice enhances the body’s natural healing processes, helping to relieve pain, reduce stress, and improve sleep quality through the release of endorphins and regulation of the nervous system.
Acupuncture also supports immune function and digestive health by encouraging balanced energy which is essential for maintaining resilience against illness. By addressing the root causes of discomfort and promoting harmony between the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of health, acupuncture fosters an improved sense of well-being and vitality.

THINGS TO KNOW
10 minutes can make a big difference
If you are short on time, Chiropractic care can be an efficient place to start your treatment. Chiropractic adjustments should be pain free and leave you with a sense of relief.
Delaying treatment worsens syptoms
A problem left untreated generally doesn’t resolve on its own. Why feel badly for one day longer than you need to? You have a life and things to do. Moving better and being pain free is important and lessens the load.
If you’re nervous, we have a plan
There are many ways to accomplish your adjustment. We will meet your needs to ensure that you are comfortable. We can start small if you’re feeling nervous.
Chronic pain can be treated
If you have a chronic or long standing problem, ongoing treatments may be needed but improvement is possible. Ongoing chiropractic care is part of an commitment to wellness to ensure that problems are not worsening over time.
