Care for Growing Bodies

Why Families Bring Their Kids to Us

Kids aren’t small adults. Their joints, growth plates and nervous systems are still developing, so care has to be lighter, quicker and adapted to age. Dr. Greg Driedger has cared for infants, kids and teens in SE Calgary for more than 15 years and is a parent himself.

Techniques use very light pressure — about what you’d use to test a ripe tomato — and most children find visits fun rather than frightening.

Common reasons families visit include posture and backpack strain, sports injuries, growing-related aches, tech neck, and general wellness check-ups.

Insurance & Direct Billing

Know Your Coverage Before You Come In

A quick note on insurance: Coverage amounts vary by plan and we can’t see your specific limits — you’ll need to confirm those with your insurer directly, either by calling them or logging into your benefits website. Our front desk is happy to walk you through where to look and what to ask, so you know your coverage before your first visit. We also direct bill most major Alberta insurers for chiropractic and massage, so you pay less out of pocket.
