Dr. Andi Banks Former elite volleyball athlete turned chiropractor after my own health journey with Lyme Disease. Serving Calgary at Active Back to Health 🤍

Now I support athletes and families through pregnancy, postpartum, pediatric care.

09/25/2026

I’ve always loved helping people move well and stay active, but over time, my practice has grown into something I value even more: caring for families through different stages of life. 🤍

That might mean supporting someone through the physical changes of pregnancy, assessing a baby or child, helping a teenager stay active in sport, treating a parent who spends their days carrying little ones, or helping a grandparent keep doing the things they love.

Pregnancy, infant, pediatric, and sports care are areas I’ve pursued additional education in and continue to be especially passionate about, but I never wanted my practice to fit into just one box.

I love the variety. I love getting to know families over time. And I love that sometimes caring for one person eventually means I get to meet the rest of their family too.

That’s what family-centred care means to me.

If you’re new here, I’d love to know what brought you to my page. 🤍

Does rolling over in bed while pregnant hurt? 🤰

You’re not alone in noticing that something as simple as turning over at night can become uncomfortable during pregnancy.

Pregnancy related pelvic girdle pain can make movements like rolling in bed, getting dressed, climbing stairs or getting in and out of the car more uncomfortable.

One movement strategy I often discuss with pregnant patients is keeping the knees relatively together when turning.

Try placing a pillow between your knees for support and moving your shoulders and hips together as you roll rather than twisting through your pelvis.

The goal isn’t to keep your pelvis perfectly still or avoid movement. It’s to find movement strategies that feel more comfortable while continuing to stay active.

If pelvic or low back pain is persistent, worsening or affecting your sleep and daily activities, bring it up with your healthcare provider.

Did rolling over in bed become surprisingly difficult during your pregnancy? 🤍

Does your baby seem to have a favourite side? 👶

Maybe you’ve noticed it during feeding, tummy time, while they’re lying on their back, or you’ve realized that almost every photo of them has their head turned the same way.

When a parent brings their baby in with a head-turning preference, I look at much more than which direction they’re facing.

I look at how comfortably they can turn in both directions, how their neck and body move together, whether they’re using both sides similarly, their head shape, tummy time movement and what their parents are noticing at home.

I also consider the bigger picture, including relevant health and birth history, feeding and positioning preferences, and the positions baby spends time in throughout the day.

A preference doesn’t automatically mean something is wrong. But if your baby consistently looks one way, has difficulty turning the other direction, you’re noticing changes in their head shape, or it isn’t improving, it’s worth bringing up with your baby’s healthcare provider.

A chiropractic assessment can include evaluating your baby’s musculoskeletal movement and determining whether chiropractic care, home strategies or referral to another healthcare provider may be appropriate.

Save this for later or share it with a parent who has been wondering about their baby’s favourite side. 🤍

There’s something about returning after your second baby that feels different.

Becoming a mom changed how I understood care. Becoming a mom of two deepened it.

This season has strengthened my appreciation for nervous system regulation, posture, recovery, and the real-life pace of family transitions. It’s one thing to study pregnancy and postpartum recovery — it’s another to live it twice.

I’m so excited to share that I am officially back in practice and have joined the team at Active Back to Health here in Calgary.

My work continues to center around families and athletes — supporting pregnancy, postpartum, pediatrics, primitive reflexes, sport injury and Lyme disease recovery, through a posture-focused, nervous system-informed approach.

If you’ve been waiting to book, I would love to see you.

Here’s to this next chapter — personally and professionally 🤍

Signs of Infant Oral Function Issues 👶🍼
Is your baby experiencing feeding difficulties? Let’s explore some key signs of oral function issues that you should be aware of. Early detection and intervention can make a big difference! 🌟

Signs of Infant Oral Function Issues:
🔹 Facial Asymmetry: Look for uneven facial features, such as one side of the face appearing different from the other.

🔹 Jaw Pulling to One Side: Notice if your baby’s jaw consistently pulls to one side when opening or closing their mouth.

🔹 Issues with Latching or Feeding: Difficulty latching onto the breast or bottle, frequent gagging, clicking, or pulling away during feeding.

🔹 Clicking Sounds During Feeding: Hearing clicking noises while your baby feeds, which may indicate improper latch or oral dysfunction.

🔹 Poor Weight Gain: Inadequate weight gain despite regular feeding.

🔹 Excessive Drooling or Dribbling: More drooling than usual, which can be a sign of oral motor issues.

🔹 Difficulty Transitioning to Solids: Struggling with moving from liquids to pureed or solid foods.

👶 If you notice any of these signs, it’s a good idea to consult a pediatric chiropractor. Our gentle, specialized care can help address these issues, supporting your baby’s oral health and overall development. Let’s work together to ensure your little one thrives! 🌟
