Our Services

At West Lethbridge Family Chiropractic, we offer a range of services designed to help you achieve optimal health and wellness. Our experienced chiropractors, Dr. Amy Heilman and Dr. Elliott Heilman, utilize advanced techniques to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions, including back pain, headaches, and joint pain.

Chiropractic Care

Our chiropractic care begins with a thorough examination and consultation to understand your specific needs and concerns. We take the time to get to know you and develop a personalized plan to address your unique situation. Our expert technicians use advanced technology, including the Activator Methods Chiropractic Technique, to deliver precise and gentle adjustments. We also have other hands-on techniques available to cater to your specific needs.

Custom Foot Orthotics

In some cases, poor biomechanics in the feet can cause problems throughout the body, including the knee and hip joints. Our on-site services include the creation of custom foot orthotics by a local lab, taking into account both the feet and the balance of the pelvis to reduce the amount of strain on your joints. Patients 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 understand the importance of a well-rounded approach to health and wellness. Our primary focus is to locate and correct improperly moving bones in the spine and related areas to help restore balance and function. We also offer guidance on improving your diet and exercise routine to make your chiropractic adjustments more effective and longer lasting. We believe that by removing irritating, processed foods from your diet and exercising regularly, you can respond quickly to chiropractic adjustments and enjoy longer-lasting results.

Dr. Amy Heilman

My journey with chiropractic began when I was a teenager, suffering from chronic daily headaches. After no medical answers could be found, my mom brought me to a chiropractor, who determined that problems in my neck were causing my headaches. It took several months of consistent care before I started experiencing results, but persistence paid off. I will never forget the first day I woke up without 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. This experience not only changed my life but also inspired me to help others as I had been helped.

Dr. Elliott Heilman

I grew up in the Black Hills of South Dakota and 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.

Common Questions We Are Often Asked

How long does it take to feel better? There are many factors that contribute to the answer to this question. Stress levels, quality of diet and sleep, age, and health history are just a few things that will make your case unique. Some people start to experience relief after only an adjustment or two, while others may not feel any changes at all in the beginning and then slowly start to find relief as each adjustment builds on the one before. We typically recommend visits which are closer together in the beginning and then gradually lower the frequency to help speed healing and minimize any discomfort which may occur in the beginning.
