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. Haitsma 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.

The body tends to hold onto old patterns even after a joint starts moving properly again. Supporting muscles and ligaments need repeated input before they fully commit to the new position, which is why care often continues past the point pain eases. Staying with the plan a little longer is usually what makes the change permanent.

Most people wait until pain becomes hard to ignore before booking a first visit. In practice, catching a restriction early usually means fewer visits are needed to correct it, not more. If something has felt slightly off for a while, this is a good time to have it looked at.

Spinal discs are made up mostly of water, and that water content drops throughout the day simply from standing and moving around. Staying hydrated helps the discs stay cushioned and able to absorb shock the way they are meant to. A full water bottle might be doing more for your back than it looks.

This or that: after a long day, do you reach for a heating pad or an ice pack first? There is no wrong answer, we are just curious which one wins in your house. Tell us in the comments.

Most people search out reviews before they book anything as personal as chiropractic care. What tends to catch their eye is not the star count, but a specific line about what changed, like being able to garden again or finally sleeping on their side without pain. If care here has given you a moment like that, writing it down could be the difference for someone else still on the fence.

Rounded shoulders do more than affect how you look in photos. That position can compress the chest cavity slightly, making it harder for the lungs to fully expand with each breath. Straightening the upper back is not just a posture fix, it is a breathing fix too.

Pain easing does not mean the underlying pattern has fully changed. Muscles and joints often need several more sessions to settle into the new, healthier position before it becomes automatic. Sticking with the plan a bit longer is what turns temporary relief into a lasting change.

10/02/2026

A first chiropractic visit is not a one-size-fits-all script. It usually starts with questions about your daily routine, from how you sleep to how long you sit at a desk, since those details often explain more than the pain itself. Come as you are and let the assessment do the rest.

Quick one for you. What is one posture habit you know you should fix but have not gotten around to? Slouching at your desk, checking your phone with your neck bent forward, sitting on one leg tucked under you. Tell us yours in the comments, no wrong answers here.

Some tools used in a chiropractic visit have nothing to do with the spine directly. A percussive massage tool delivers rapid pulses into a muscle to ease tightness before an adjustment, which can make the joint work that follows more effective and more comfortable. Ask us about the tools we use to prepare an area before adjusting it.
