Arthritis and Chiropractic Treatment
Arthritis can make everyday movements painful and stiff. Many Calgary residents experience joint pain from osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear in joints) or rheumatoid arthritis. Our chiropractors take a gentle approach to help manage arthritis pain. Through careful
chiropractic adjustments, we improve joint mobility and reduce inflammation, which can ease discomfort in arthritic joints. Chiropractic care is a
natural, non-drug treatment that can significantly reduce arthritis pain without the side effects of medication. At our Calgary clinic, we work with you to increase your range of motion and keep you as active as possible, even in those cold Calgary winters when arthritis can flare up.
Back Pain: How Chiropractic Helps
Back pain
is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care. Whether your back pain is caused by poor posture at a downtown Calgary desk job or by a lingering injury, our team can help. Chiropractic treatment for back pain focuses on realigning the spine to relieve pressure on nerves and muscles. Gentle spinal adjustments help reduce pain, decrease muscle tension, and improve your posture over time. We also provide guidance on exercises and ergonomic tips to prevent recurring back issues. Our goal is to provide long-lasting back pain relief so you can get back to enjoying daily activities – from work to weekend adventures in the Calgary area – without discomfort.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Relief
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome causes numbness, tingling, and wrist pain, often due to repetitive work like typing or manual labour. Our Calgary chiropractors offer non-invasive relief for carpal tunnel symptoms. Chiropractic treatment can include adjusting the wrist and elbow joints to reduce pressure on the
median nerve (the nerve affected in carpal tunnel). We may also gently adjust the neck and upper spine since nerve signals to the hand originate there. By improving alignment in these areas, we address the root cause of the tingling and pain. Along with adjustments, we can recommend stretches and ergonomic advice to help you find lasting relief and prevent future flare-ups, so you can work and live comfortably.
Fibromyalgia Management with Chiropractic Care
Fibromyalgia is a condition marked by widespread pain, fatigue, and tenderness. Living with fibromyalgia can be challenging, but chiropractic care offers a hopeful path to relief. At our Calgary clinic, we use gentle chiropractic adjustments to improve nervous system function and reduce muscle tension throughout the body. This holistic approach can decrease the intensity of fibromyalgia pain and even help improve your sleep and energy levels. We understand that fibromyalgia patients need a compassionate, gentle touch. Our chiropractors will work closely with you, tailoring each treatment to your comfort level. The goal is to help
reduce pain and stiffness so you can enjoy a better quality of life with fibromyalgia.
Knee Pain and Chiropractic Treatment
Knee pain can seriously limit your mobility – whether it's caused by an old sports injury, arthritis in the joint, or wear and tear from daily life. Chiropractic treatment can be a game-changer for knee pain sufferers. Our chiropractors assess the alignment of your entire lower body (spine, hips, knees, and ankles) to find any imbalances that put extra strain on your knees. Through targeted adjustments, we help restore proper alignment and movement in the knee joint. This can alleviate pressure on the knee, reduce inflammation, and improve your range of motion. Many patients find they can walk, climb stairs, or exercise more comfortably after treatment.
Whether your knee pain stems from running in Calgary’s beautiful parks or just aging joints, chiropractic care can help restore your stride.
Neck Pain Relief through Chiropractic
Neck pain and stiffness are problems we see often – from whiplash injuries to "tech neck" caused by hours on the computer and smartphones. Chiropractic care is highly effective for neck pain relief. Our Calgary chiropractors use precise, gentle adjustments to the cervical spine (neck region) to correct misalignments. By realigning the vertebrae in your neck, we relieve pressure on nerves and reduce muscle tension. Patients often feel improved mobility (like turning your head without pain) and a reduction in headaches and migraines that stem from neck issues. We also advise on posture improvements and stretches to keep neck pain from coming back. With a professional yet caring approach, we help ease your neck pain so you can get back to your daily routine without that nagging soreness.
Sports Injuries and Chiropractic Care
An active lifestyle is part of Calgary culture, from hockey and skiing to running and golf.
Sports injuries can happen to anyone – not just professional athletes. Sprained ankles, pulled muscles, shoulder injuries, and more can sideline you from the activities you love. Our team provides specialized chiropractic care for sports injuries to help you heal faster and stronger. We will assess your injury and use appropriate techniques, such as spinal or extremity adjustments, to improve joint alignment and function. By correcting misalignments caused by the injury, we reduce pain and help your body recover naturally. Chiropractic treatment can also improve your flexibility and balance, which helps prevent re-injury. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a competitive athlete, our Calgary chiropractors will help you get back in the game and perform at your best.
Tendonitis Treatment with Chiropractic
Tendonitis is the inflammation or irritation of a tendon (the thick cords that attach muscle to bone). It often occurs in the shoulders, elbows, knees, or Achilles tendon from overuse or repetitive strain. Tendonitis can cause sharp pain and limit your ability to move comfortably. Chiropractic care can play a key role in tendonitis recovery. By adjusting the joints connected to the affected tendon, we ensure everything is moving properly and not placing extra stress on the injured tendon. For example, with
tennis elbow (a form of tendonitis), adjusting the elbow and wrist can help the tendon heal. Our Calgary chiropractic clinic takes a holistic approach: in addition to adjustments, we may recommend gentle stretches, rest strategies, or other therapies to reduce inflammation. The result is decreased pain and improved healing, so you can return to your normal activities sooner.

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. If you’re experiencing pain or symptoms that you think chiropractic treatment could help, feel free to contact us and schedule an appointment – no referral is necessary. We’re here to answer your questions and get you the care you need when you need it.
