Chiropractic Injury Treatment in Calgary
Chiropractic injury treatment is designed to address the underlying cause of pain, not just the symptoms. Through comprehensive evaluation, targeted spinal adjustments, and therapeutic modalities, care supports recovery from sports injuries, workplace strains, and everyday accidents. Ongoing treatment may help improve resilience, mobility, and overall physical performance.
Injuries We Treat at Our Calgary Chiropractic Clinic
Arthritis
Arthritis refers to inflammation and degeneration within a joint that can lead to stiffness, reduced mobility, and ongoing discomfort. Osteoarthritis is the most common form and often develops gradually as cartilage wears down over time, while other forms may involve inflammatory processes. Chiropractic care for arthritis focuses on improving joint mechanics, supporting surrounding muscles, and maintaining range of motion through targeted adjustments and supportive therapies. While arthritis cannot be reversed, conservative treatment may help reduce discomfort, improve function, and support long-term joint health.
Back Pain
Back pain is one of the most common reasons patients seek chiropractic care and can result from muscle strain, joint dysfunction, disc irritation, poor posture, or injury. Symptoms may range from localized stiffness and aching to sharp pain that limits movement and daily activities. Chiropractic treatment focuses on identifying the underlying cause of discomfort and restoring proper spinal and joint function through targeted adjustments and supportive physiologic therapies. By improving mobility and reducing mechanical stress on the spine, care may help relieve pain, support recovery, and reduce the likelihood of recurring episodes.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve becomes compressed as it passes through the wrist, leading to numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain in the hand and fingers. It is often associated with repetitive hand movements, prolonged keyboard use, or wrist strain, though other contributing factors may be involved. Chiropractic care focuses on assessing wrist, elbow, shoulder, and cervical spine mechanics to address potential sources of nerve irritation. Through targeted adjustments and supportive therapies, treatment aims to reduce pressure on the nerve, improve mobility, and support functional use of the hand and wrist.
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, tenderness, fatigue, and increased sensitivity to pressure. Patients may also experience sleep disturbances, headaches, and difficulty concentrating. While the exact cause is not fully understood, fibromyalgia is believed to involve altered pain processing within the nervous system. Chiropractic care focuses on supporting spinal and joint function, reducing mechanical stress, and promoting improved mobility through gentle adjustments and supportive therapies. Although fibromyalgia is not curable, conservative care may help manage discomfort, improve physical function, and support overall quality of life as part of a broader care plan.
Knee Pain
Knee pain can develop from acute injuries, repetitive strain, ligament sprains, meniscus irritation, arthritis, or biomechanical imbalances affecting how the joint moves. Symptoms may include swelling, stiffness, instability, or discomfort during walking, climbing stairs, or physical activity. Chiropractic care focuses on evaluating not only the knee itself, but also the hips, ankles, and lower back to identify contributing mechanical factors. Through targeted joint adjustments, soft tissue therapies, and mobility support, treatment aims to improve joint function, reduce stress on surrounding structures, and support a safe return to daily activities and exercise.
Neck Pain
Neck pain commonly results from poor posture, muscle strain, joint dysfunction, whiplash injuries, or prolonged time spent at a desk or on digital devices. Symptoms may include stiffness, reduced range of motion, headaches, or pain that radiates into the shoulders or upper back. Chiropractic care focuses on identifying mechanical restrictions within the cervical spine and surrounding tissues. Through targeted spinal adjustments and supportive therapies, treatment aims to improve mobility, reduce muscular tension, and restore proper joint function to support both short-term relief and long-term spinal health.
Sports Injuries
Sports injuries can occur suddenly during activity or develop gradually from repetitive strain and overuse. Common issues include sprains, strains, joint irritation, tendon inflammation, and impact-related injuries affecting the spine or extremities. Chiropractic care focuses on assessing movement patterns, joint mechanics, and soft tissue function to identify contributing factors. Through targeted adjustments, mobility work, and supportive therapies, treatment aims to reduce pain, improve stability, and promote efficient recovery, helping athletes return to activity safely and reduce the risk of future injury.
Tendonitis
Tendonitis is the inflammation or irritation of a tendon, often caused by repetitive motion, overuse, or sudden increases in activity. It commonly affects areas such as the shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, or Achilles tendon, leading to localized pain, tenderness, and stiffness that may worsen with movement. Chiropractic care focuses on identifying biomechanical stress and joint dysfunction that may be contributing to tendon overload. Through targeted adjustments, soft tissue therapies, and mobility support, treatment aims to reduce strain on the affected tendon, improve movement patterns, and support gradual, sustainable recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions about Chiropractic Treatment
What is chiropractic treatment and how does it work?
Chiropractic treatment is a form of healthcare focused on the spine, joints, and nervous system. It works by using hands-on adjustments and other gentle therapies to correct misalignments in the body. By realigning the spine and other joints, chiropractors help reduce nerve irritation and muscle tension, which allows your body to heal and function better. In short, chiropractic care helps restore balance in your musculoskeletal system, leading to pain relief, improved mobility, and better overall health.
Is chiropractic care safe?
Yes, chiropractic care is widely recognized as a safe, non-invasive treatment option for most people. Chiropractors are highly trained professionals – in Alberta (and all of Canada) they undergo extensive education and licensing. Treatments are performed with precise, controlled force. Most patients experience relief after adjustments, though it’s normal to feel mild soreness at first (similar to after a new workout). Serious side effects are extremely rare. At our Calgary clinic, your safety and comfort are our top priorities. We will assess your condition thoroughly and use techniques suited to your needs, ensuring you feel secure and cared for during treatment.
Does a chiropractic adjustment hurt?
No – a chiropractic adjustment is generally not painful. In fact, many patients feel instant relief. During an adjustment, you might hear a “pop” or “click,” but the sensation is usually a release of pressure, not pain. Our chiropractors use gentle methods, and we communicate with you throughout the process. If you are nervous or have a very sensitive area, we can adjust our technique to keep you comfortable. After an adjustment, you may feel looser and more relaxed. Occasionally, there can be mild soreness for a day (similar to muscle soreness after exercise), but this is temporary and a sign that your body is adjusting in a positive way.
How many sessions will I need to feel better?
The number of sessions needed can vary from person to person. Some patients experience significant pain relief after just one or two visits, especially for recent, minor issues. Chronic conditions (like long-term back pain or severe arthritis) may require a series of treatments over several weeks or months to achieve lasting results. During your initial consultation at our Calgary clinic, the chiropractor will evaluate your condition and create a personalized care plan. They will explain how many sessions might be needed and why. Our goal is to get you feeling better as quickly as possible, and we’ll reassess your progress at each visit to ensure you’re on the right track.
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor in Calgary?
No, you do not need a doctor’s referral to visit a chiropractor in Calgary. Chiropractors are primary healthcare providers, which means you can book an appointment directly. Many patients refer themselves or come in based on a friend’s recommendation. Chiropractic services are commonly covered by extended health insurance plans, and we can help you navigate your insurance if needed.
