Chiropractic Care  Services

Chiropractic care focuses on improving spinal function and alleviating neuromusculoskeletal discomfort through targeted spinal adjustments and physiologic therapeutics. Patients often seek chiropractic care for common issues like low back pain, neck pain, and headaches, as well as to enhance overall joint mobility and athletic performance. After acute issues are dealt with patients often opt to continue with regular maintenance care to maintain overall health and wellness.

Dr Brad Pritchard

After moving back to Canada and passing his board exams he has been serving Calgary patients since 1996. Since that time he has developed an interest in neurological issues and to date, he has over 800 hours of specialized functional neurology training.

Patient Success Stories

I Strongly Endorse This Practice!


Thank you so much Dr. Brad Pritchard at Oak Bay Chiropractic Centre for the difference he made to my life. I came to his office suffering with severe foot neuropathy. His thoughtful and knowledgeable assessment and subsequent treatment made an immense difference in my suffering and my functionality. Dr. Pritchard is professional, compassionate, and ethical, believing in helping people rather than soliciting clients. I will continue to work with him and consult him around many other concerns and I am so grateful to him and to the kindness of Cathy and Nancy in the office. I strongly endorse this practice!

Simply Awesome



Dr Brad is awesome. He's very knowledgeable and really cares for his clients. My husband, Mom, and I have been seeing him for 5+ years and he has helped all of us greatly. I would recommend OAKBAY Family Chiropractic to anyone I know or even meet on the street. Already a lot of my friends have been seeing dr Brad for a long time and all of them are so happy with his services. The front desk is also amazing, very friendly and welcoming. When I need help they try to fit me in right away and they don't push, so you come when you need to and I like that.

Great Experience All Around!


I would score everything higher as I was very impressed from the moment I walked in the door. Dr Pritchard was very informative and helpful. Above all I loved the fact that he took time to listen. The receptionists were very friendly and efficient. I have been back at least 3 times since the 1st visit and this high standard of treatment and care was evident in each visit. Thankful to have such a caring place to go to. Two thumbs up!

Gentle Adjustment Sessions

Most patients lie face down on a padded table while controlled force is applied to targeted joints, often accompanied by a “pop” sound. For some patients, where an even more gentle approach is preferred or needed, an adjusting instrument and “drop” pieces in the table are used to perform adjustments.

Post-Adjustment Care

Mild soreness or stiffness may occur, typically resolving within 24 hours; where appropriate, provide stretching routines and home recommendations to minimize possible discomfort.

Chiropractic Care FAQs

  • What is chiropractic care?

    Chiropractic care is a non-invasive healthcare approach that focuses on diagnosing and treating disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system, especially spine-related issues, through manual adjustments to improve joint alignment, reduce pain, and enhance overall function.

  • Is chiropractic care safe?

    When performed by a licensed chiropractor, non-invasive spinal adjustments are very safe. While studies show that some patients (about 30%) may experience some mild soreness or stiffness after an adjustment most patients feel relief. As with any healthcare treatment there are potential risks, although serious complications are very rare. As you should with any healthcare provider, concerns should be discussed.

  • How often should I receive chiropractic care?

    Frequency varies by individual need: minor issues may resolve after a single session, whereas acute pain often benefits from 2–3 visits per week for several weeks; once symptoms improve, many patients transition to maintenance visits as needed to sustain long-term benefits.
