The People Behind Your Care

Dr. Louder's background in human anatomy and exercise physiology combined with his advanced training in Cox Flexion-Distraction has allowed him to help many people in Airdrie recover from challenging spine problems and improve their overall well-being. His focus on whole-person health helps people move beyond pain and inspires them to live life fully. He's also happy to provide care in Spanish and French for those who prefer to speak those languages.

If you've tried other treatments without lasting results, or you're not quite sure chiropractic is for you, that's exactly the kind of patient Dr. Ryan wants to hear from. With clinical experience spanning California, Florida, and Tennessee, including work with military veterans and within multidisciplinary care teams, he has learned that pain rarely tells the whole story. Dr. Ryan takes a genuinely curious approach to every visit: he wants to understand your history, your daily life, and what you're trying to get back to, not just the symptoms that brought you in. Patients who feel unheard elsewhere often say his appointments feel different. Because they are. You don't need to have everything figured out before you come in. He'll help with that part.

Originally from Calgary, Jenny has called Airdrie home since 2002. As a mom of 3, there's a good chance you'll find her cheering on the sidelines of a football, rugby, or basketball game. Jenny began her professional career as a massage therapist before transitioning into the corporate world. In 2020, she stepped away from her corporate role to focus on family before finding her way to Summit Spine in the spring of 2025. Joining the Summit team has felt like a return to her healthcare roots. Jenny loves spending time in the mountains, even better if it's on skis. She is an avid crafter, hobbyist photographer, passionate football fan, a mediocre pickle baller and she's proudly fueled by Dr. Pepper Zero (seriously, it might be a problem).

Cynthia joined the Summit team in 2024 and describes her time with the team as a true "summit" experience. She loves her role and those she works with… almost as much as she loves her Starbucks coffee! She is a proud parent of five children, ages 15 to 37, and grandmother to four wonderful grandchildren, with another arriving in July, 2026. She has also been a foster parent for an incredible 24 years, which is a role that has brought her great joy and purpose.

Leah was born and raised in a large family in and around Salmon Arm, BC, where she developed a lifelong love of the outdoors. After training and working as a dental assistant, she moved to the Calgary area with her family in 2009. As a mother of five, Leah shifted her focus to raising her children while helping run the family's machining business. She is a dedicated volunteer, serving in the community, the classroom and through sports organizations. Leah loves connecting with people and joined the Summit team because of its welcoming culture and strong commitment to supporting families and the community.

A travel enthusiast and world explorer, Kristin returned to her roots here in Alberta, after spending some years abroad, to start a family where she grew up, in Airdrie. The proud mother of two boys, Kristin joined our team after spending many wonderful years as a full time mom and homemaker. Kristin prides herself on being an active fitness lover with a passion for hiking and weight training. She also has a keen interest for the arts and loves striking up a chat with everyone she meets.

Grace grew up in Airdrie and loves being part of the community and building meaningful connections with the people around her. Growing up playing elite level hockey and lacrosse helped shape who she is today. Grace is currently pursuing a Business Administration diploma with a major in Human Resource Management. She has developed a strong interest in understanding and supporting others. The leaders and mentors she has encountered throughout her life have shaped how she views the world, and they continue to inspire her personal and professional aspirations. She is passionate about personal growth, loves hearing people's stories, and strives to make everyone feel welcomed. In her free time, Grace enjoys staying active and making the most of time spent with family and friends.
