Why Summit Spine Centre
Relief Is Just the Beginning.
Every patient who walks through our doors in Airdrie has a story. A hike they can't finish. A workday they can't get through. A moment with their kids they had to sit out. For over 35 years, we have been helping Airdrie get back to living life fully.
A Different Kind of Decompression
That Deep Pressurized Ache
When pressure builds throughout the day, radiates down your leg, or just won't let up no matter what you try, we help by gently decompressing your spine one level at a time.
Adjustments
Feeling Stiff and Stuck
When your back is locked up, your body compensates. What used to be automatic becomes more difficult. We help you move again so you can get back to being yourself.

What Our Patients Say
“After dealing with neck and back issues for years with little success from other chiropractors and physiotherapists, I started going to Summit Spine Centre after a friend's referral. Their flexion distraction technique has significantly improved my range of motion, and I'm feeling better than I have in years. I'd forgotten what it felt like to move comfortably again.”
Keith B.
Airdrie Patient
“After one month of weekly visits my life is significantly different. My back feels great, I don't grunt and groan when I'm moving, I'm no longer hunched over or constantly protecting myself. I can do things care free like play with my kids, and be present in the moment with them. I'm not nearly as angry or frankly miserable and able to enjoy life again in a way I haven't for some time.”
Justin C.
Airdrie Patient
“This would be 12 stars if I could! Dr. Karl Louder is hands down amazing, and Dr. Ryan Lawrence is pretty amazing too! I have been coming here since 2020. I highly recommend any and everyone to go here for care. Your health is vital and they have played a huge part in my health as well as my husband's. They supported us so deeply while my husband went through cancer treatments. We are so grateful for this place.”

Common Questions
Do I need a referral?
No referral is needed. You can book directly online or by giving us a call.
Do you offer direct billing?
Yes. We offer direct billing to most insurance providers to make accessing care as simple as possible.
What to expect on my first visit?
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.
