This is a method of chiropractic which utilizes an instrument to make adjustments that are quick and generally quite comfortable. We also have several other hands-on Chiropractic techniques we can use when necessary. Most people find getting adjusted very comfortable and even relaxing.

A little nervous? No problem! Please let us know and we will do our best to help your experience to be as comfortable as possible.

Custom Foot Orthotics

In some cases, poor biomechanics in the feet can cause problems throughout the body, including the knee and hip joints. By properly supporting the feet in cases where it is warranted, we can reduce pain and improve function in the lower half of the body. Dr. Elliott works with a local lab to create custom foot orthotics which take into account both the feet and the balance of the pelvis to reduce the amount of strain on your joints. People who benefit from orthotics often report reduced foot and knee pain as well as an overall increase in the amount of time an adjustment holds.

Diet & Exercise

As chiropractors, we are interested in how your body functions as a whole unit. Our primary focus is to locate and correct improperly moving bones in the spine and related areas to help restore balance and function. Improving your diet as well as moving and strengthening your body through the right kind of exercise can help to make these adjustments more effective and longer lasting. In our experience, people who remove irritating, processed foods from their diet and exercise regularly tend to respond quickly to chiropractic adjustments and have longer lasting results.

We can work with you to help you determine if any changes need to be made in your current routine. In the case of an injury, specific exercises can help rehabilitate and strengthen injured areas.

Dr. Amy Heilman

I first became interested in chiropractic when I was a teenager. For years, I suffered from chronic daily headaches. I was always in pain and the headaches drained a lot of my energy. After no medical answer could be found, my mom brought me to a chiropractor on the advice of a friend. He determined that problems in my neck were actually causing my headaches and that he thought chiropractic adjustments could help me. For the first time in years, I had hope about being able to live without a headache. It took several months of consistent care before I started getting the results I was hoping for, but persistence paid off! I will never forget the first day I woke up and realized I didn’t have a headache. It was like the lights had been turned back on!

Over the next several months, I started to feel an increase in my energy levels and my life began to change for the better. I had always known I wanted to be involved in a career related to health and this experience made me want to help others as I had been helped. After attending the University of Lethbridge, I went on to Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa where I was inspired by the stories of others whose lives had also been changed by chiropractic. Since moving back to Lethbridge and starting our practice in 2005, we have had three beautiful children who keep us busy and remind us every day of the important things in life.

Being a chiropractor is both challenging and extremely rewarding. I continue to be amazed at the power of the human body to restore and heal itself when given the opportunity.

Dr. Elliott Heilman

I originally grew up in the Black Hills of South Dakota and I have been a member of the Lethbridge community since 2004. Since relocating to Canada, my wife and I have enjoyed helping families on their path toward health and wellness.

Chiropractic has helped me personally with a number of issues and I would encourage you to come in and find out what chiropractic can do for you and your family. Before attending Palmer College of Chiropractic, I obtained a Bachelor of Health Sciences Degree from the University of Wyoming. Since then, I have attended multiple seminars; Logan Basic Technique, Activator Methods, multiple extremity adjusting techniques focusing mostly on gentle, effective chiropractic care. I have also attended various nutrition and herbal supplementation seminars.

Over the years I have gained experience and knowledge about custom foot orthotics and how they can help with back pain. I am always excited about learning more and enjoy helping people obtain their best potential. I look forward to meeting you!
