Meet Dr. Haitsma

"Chiropractic is part of the healthy lifestyle puzzle; we don’t have all the answers but have a very important role to play." When he was a university student, Dr. Haitsma was involved in a car accident that resulted in him having horrible headaches. “They hurt so much. I was told by a doctor that I had a concussion but was just told to put ice on my head and take pills.”

Dr. Ha

itsma followed the doctor’s orders but still had raging headaches. Then one night, he met a chiropractor at his neighbor’s barbecue. “I told him my story and he said, ‘why don’t you come see me; maybe I can help you.'”

Though Dr. Haitsma didn’t know about chiropractic, he did know that what he was doing wasn’t helping that much. “The doctor that helped me was a classic chiropractor. He told me what he was doing and why and it made a lot of sense to me. That experience changed my life and I decided to become a chiropractor.”

When he’s not at the practice, Dr. Haitsma loves gardening and tending his flowers. An avid hiker and fly fisherman, he and his wife Veronica enjoy exploring the trails and rivers of Southwest Alberta. Their daughter and son-in-law live in New York City and they have another son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren that live nearby so they enjoy getting together with them often.

One misconception that keeps people from booking a first appointment is the assumption that chiropractic care requires a long-term commitment before anything improves. In reality, many patients notice meaningful changes within the first few visits, with a clearer picture of what ongoing care looks like developing quickly from there. If you have been waiting to feel ready, the first step is far simpler than most people expect.

Most people do not think of writing a review as doing something useful for someone's health. But for a person quietly managing pain and wondering whether chiropractic care is worth trying, your honest account of what changed for you may carry more weight than anything else they encounter. Reviews are less about ratings and more about evidence that real change is possible. If care here has made a genuine difference, we would love for you to put that into words.

When the body is under sustained stress, the nervous system defaults to a heightened, guarded state. Muscles tighten, posture shifts forward, and spinal joints carry more load as a result. Chiropractic care can interrupt this pattern not just mechanically but neurologically, by delivering precise input that signals the nervous system to ease off. This is one reason some patients notice improvements in sleep quality, tension headaches, and general restlessness alongside changes in their physical symptoms.

The body adapts to whatever position it is held in most often. Sitting for long periods without changing posture sends a repetitive signal to the nervous system that narrows the range of movement patterns the body considers normal. Brief, regular movement breaks, even just a few minutes of standing, walking, or shoulder rolls, help preserve the nervous system's full range rather than just managing the discomfort of staying still.

We have a quick one for you. When you wake up in the morning, what do you reach for first? (A) a stretch before getting out of bed, or (B) phone, coffee, and straight into the day. No judgment either way. Let us know in the comments.

Parents spend a lot of time in positions the body was not built to hold for long. Picking up small children, crouching at their level, carrying them on one hip. These are repetitive, asymmetrical loads that accumulate across years. The discomfort that develops is rarely dramatic, which is part of why it tends to go unaddressed. If you are a parent and you have been carrying both your child and a low-grade ache, it is worth having someone take a look.

Before or after an adjustment, many chiropractors use soft tissue techniques to address the muscles and connective tissue surrounding the spine. Myofascial release applies gentle, sustained pressure to areas of tightness, helping the tissue relax enough for the joint work to hold longer. Addressing both the joint and the surrounding tissue tends to produce more lasting results than joint work alone. Ask us what soft tissue work might look like as part of your care plan.

Chronic stress does not just affect your mood. When the body perceives sustained pressure, the nervous system triggers a pattern of muscle tension that concentrates in the neck, shoulders, and upper back. Over time, that tension creates uneven load on the spine, which can show up as stiffness, reduced range of motion, or recurring pain in areas that seem unrelated to stress. The connection is physical, not just emotional.
