Meet Dr. Haitsma

"Chiropractic is part of the healthy lifestyle puzzle; we don’t have all the answers but have a very important role to play." When he was a university student, Dr. Haitsma was involved in a car accident that resulted in him having horrible headaches. “They hurt so much. I was told by a doctor that I had a concussion but was just told to put ice on my head and take pills.”

Dr. Haitsma followed the doctor’s orders but still had raging headaches. Then one night, he met a chiropractor at his neighbor’s barbecue. “I told him my story and he said, ‘why don’t you come see me; maybe I can help you.'”

Though Dr. Haitsma didn’t know about chiropractic, he did know that what he was doing wasn’t helping that much. “The doctor that helped me was a classic chiropractor. He told me what he was doing and why and it made a lot of sense to me. That experience changed my life and I decided to become a chiropractor.”

When he’s not at the practice, Dr. Haitsma loves gardening and tending his flowers. An avid hiker and fly fisherman, he and his wife Veronica enjoy exploring the trails and rivers of Southwest Alberta. Their daughter and son-in-law live in New York City and they have another son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren that live nearby so they enjoy getting together with them often.

The human body was not designed to hold one position for hours at a time, but that is exactly what most desk jobs require. Over time, the muscles that are supposed to support your spine start to disengage, and other structures pick up the slack in ways that lead to pain. Let's talk about what we can do to help.

A rocket launch looks dramatic from the outside, but what makes it work is the precision behind it. Chiropractic care is similar. Each adjustment is a carefully targeted input to a specific joint, designed to restore movement and reduce the nervous system interference that builds up when things are not moving as they should.

Most people think of spinal health in terms of pain, but your spine is the main highway for your nervous system, carrying signals between your brain and virtually every organ and system in your body. When vertebrae are not moving properly, that communication can be disrupted in ways that have nothing to do with back pain. Ask us how spinal health might be connected to things you would not expect.

Chiropractic care works a lot like exercise in one important way: the results come from consistency over time, not from a single session. Your body learns and adapts with each visit, and that progress builds on itself. We are glad you keep showing up.
