Your Calgary SW Chiropractor & Integrated Health Team
Center For Healthy Living was established in 2008 by Dr. Mark Plotnikoff, a Calgary SW chiropractor committed to delivering multidisciplinary healthcare solutions. Our clinic philosophy centers on optimizing nervous system function through evidence-based techniques, addressing physical, emotional, and chemical stressors that impact health. We utilize advanced technology like the Insight Millenium Subluxation Station to measure and improve nervous system health, focusing on identifying root causes rather than temporary symptom relief. Our team of experienced professionals offers personalized treatment plans tailored to individual health goals, combining chiropractic care with massage therapy, physiotherapy, acupuncture, and holistic nutrition. With over 15 years of clinical experience, we specialize in treating musculoskeletal conditions, sports injuries, and chronic pain while emphasizing patient education and preventive care.

Our facility provides direct billing with major insurance providers and maintains strict compliance with healthcare privacy standards. We serve Calgary SW communities including West Springs, Cougar Ridge, and Aspen, offering convenient appointment scheduling and flexible treatment options. Our commitment to continuous professional development ensures access to cutting-edge therapies like Graston Technique, Shockwave Therapy, and custom orthotics. Patient testimonials consistently highlight significant improvements in pain management, mobility, and overall wellness following our integrated treatment approaches. We maintain transparent communication practices and prioritize patient safety through secure health information handling protocols.

Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic services focus on nervous system optimization through precise spinal adjustments. We address subluxations and misalignments using evidence-based techniques that improve nerve function and reduce pain. Patients benefit from personalized treatment plans that combine manual adjustments with complementary therapies for long-term wellness.
Massage Therapy
Registered massage therapists provide targeted treatments for muscle rehabilitation and pain management. Our techniques address soft tissue injuries, improve circulation, and promote relaxation through customized sessions tailored to individual health needs and conditions.
Shockwave Therapy
Non-invasive shockwave treatments accelerate healing for chronic pain and soft tissue injuries. This technology effectively treats conditions like plantar fasciitis and tendonitis with minimal discomfort and no downtime, offering lasting pain relief and improved mobility.
Graston Technique
Specialized stainless-steel instruments detect and treat soft tissue fibrosis through targeted scar tissue breakdown. This evidence-based approach resolves chronic muscle dysfunction while minimizing post-treatment soreness through precise, controlled interventions.
Custom Orthotics
3D-scanned custom orthotics address biomechanical imbalances and foot-related pain. Our advanced design technology creates personalized support solutions that improve posture, enhance athletic performance, and alleviate discomfort from conditions like flat feet and plantar fasciitis.
