Back, Neck & Disc Pain Relief in Airdrie.

No referral is needed. You can book directly online or by giving us a call.

During your first visit we'll take the time to get to know you, your health history, and your goals. We'll also do a thorough physical exam to better understand your problem. If we can help you, we'll begin care on your first visit. If needed, we'll refer you for additional imaging (i.e. X-rays), or to another provider as needed.

A chiropractor is a primary care provider who assesses and treats problems with the spine, joints, muscles and nerves, such as back pain, neck pain, sciatica and headaches.

Yes. At Summit Spine Centre in Airdrie, every patient has a thorough assessment before any treatment begins, and your care is tailored to your comfort level. If you'd like a gentler approach, low-force options like Cox Flexion-Distraction and adjustments without the cracking sound are available. We explain everything before we start, and you're always in control.

Most people find adjustments relieving rather than painful, though mild soreness for a day afterward is normal. The cracking sound is just gas releasing from the joint, and it isn't needed for treatment to work. If the sound makes you nervous, the chiropractors at Summit Spine Centre can also use gentle techniques that make little or no noise.

At Summit Spine Centre, a first visit is $110 and includes a full history, an exam and, in most cases, your first treatment. Follow-up visits are $60. We direct bill most major insurance plans, so many patients pay little or nothing upfront.

No. Alberta Health Care (AHCIP) does not cover chiropractic care, but most extended health benefit plans do. Seniors may have partial coverage through Alberta Blue Cross. Summit Spine Centre direct bills most major providers, so you don't have to pay upfront and wait for a refund.

It depends on your condition, how long you've had it and how your body responds. Some people feel much better in a handful of visits, while long-standing problems take longer. At Summit Spine Centre, we give you an honest estimate at your first visit, and if you only need a couple of treatments, we'll be the first to tell you. Ongoing care is always your choice, never a requirement.

It depends on what's actually causing your pain, and that's the question most people never get answered. If you've stretched, rested and tried everything, and the pain keeps coming back, the source may not be where it hurts. Leg pain can start with a pinched nerve in the low back. Headaches can start in the neck. Chiropractors are trained to trace symptoms back to the spine and the nerves that branch out from it. At Summit Spine Centre in Airdrie, every first visit starts with a thorough assessment, so you finally understand why you hurt, not just where. No referral needed.

In many cases, yes. Sciatica and disc herniations are among the most common problems treated at Summit Spine Centre in Airdrie. We use Cox Flexion-Distraction, a gentle, non-surgical table technique designed for disc and nerve pain. Your first visit includes a full assessment to confirm it's the right fit.
