Some Friday Flashback Pictures ✨📸

Today marks our team’s last day serving in our 4908 location and the end of our first lease.

A few special photos to remember where it all started.

Grateful for 5️⃣ years in this legacy space. Where has the time gone?!

Since opening our doors on August 17th 2021, we’ve had the privilege of serving the Ponoka and Central Alberta community through many seasons of life.

We’ve had the honour of caring for and walking alongside families as they’ve grown, celebrated milestones, faced loss, and welcomed new generations through our doors.

To every person who has trusted us with your care over the past five years here - thank you 🫶 It has truly been an honour to be part of your journey.

Did you know we were the third husband-and-wife chiropractic team to operate a practice in this very space?

For more than 50 years, this building has been home to chiropractic care under one roof. If these walls could talk, they would tell stories of hope, healing, resilience, and countless stories. It has been a privilege to continue that legacy, and this space will always hold a special place in our hearts!

A heartfelt thank you to the Chidlow family for giving us the opportunity to serve our community here over the years.

Beginning on Tuesday, August 4, we’ll be welcoming all of our practice members to our new home as we begin an exciting new chapter. 🏡

Our new sign is officially up! If you need help finding us, give our team a call, send us a text to our main line, or email us—we’re always happy to help. Starting next week our appointment reminders will include our new address. We will be closed today beginning at 1:15 p.m. and will reopen during our regular business hours on Tuesday following the long weekend.

Thank you for the memories, PFC 1.0. You’ll always be a part of our teams story. ✨

Have a wonderful long weekend with your families. We can’t wait to welcome you into our new home on Tuesday! 🏡

We couldn’t agree more!

A huge thank you to the entire team at Calanah Builders for bringing our vision to life. From start to finish, the professionalism, communication, craftsmanship, and care they put into every stage of this project exceeded our expectations.

A special thank you to Mark, Stephen, and Grant for everything you did along the way. Your guidance, attention to detail, and commitment to quality were so appreciated.

We are incredibly grateful and couldn’t be happier with the tenant development that Calanah and their many local selected subcontractor trades completed for our new practice. The quality of work throughout the project speaks for itself, and we’re so thankful to everyone who played a part.

If anyone in the area is looking for a commercial builder, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Calanah Builders Ltd. team. Thank you for helping us create a space that our team, practice members, and community will get to enjoy for many years to come 🙌

The space is opening on Tuesday, August 4th following the long weekend. We can’t wait to welcome our practice members to this space!

Proud of this one. 👏

On the newly finished Ponoka Family Chiropractic clinic right here in Ponoka, the project architect's final review noted our workmanship as "of a high standard and well-executed throughout."

Nothing means more than hearing the work holds up to a professional's eye — and getting to help a local business open the doors on a great new space. Congratulations to the PFC team!

In just one month, we’ll be welcoming you and your families to our brand-new home. 🤍

📅 Construction is complete, and our first day serving our practice members in our new practice is Tuesday, August 4th!

Our final day at our current location is Friday, July 31, and appointments over the next few weeks are filling quickly.

P.S. As we prepare for the move, you may notice a our things gradually making their way to our new home. Rest assured, we’ll continue providing the same care right up until our final day on July 31. Thank you for your understanding during this transition!

You deserve answers, and your family deserves to feel heard 🫶

Your nervous system plays an important role in how your body functions. When it’s under stress, it can affect how your body adapts and responds to everyday life.

That’s why we use our Neurological INSiGHT Scans 📈

These non-invasive scans provide our chiropractors with additional information about how your nervous system is functioning, helping us better understand your unique needs and guide your care.

From newborns and babies to children, parents, and grandparents, every nervous system tells a different story.

🤰🏽👶🏼👩🏽👱🏼‍♂️👵🏼👨🏽‍🦳 ➡️ 🧠

Our goal is to help you better understand yours through a thorough assessment, personalized recommendations, and neurologically focused chiropractic care.

Curious about how our Neurological INSiGHT Scans work and what they’re used for? Visit our website to learn more about the technology and our approach to care.

If you’d like to learn more or see whether our practice is the right fit for you or your family, reach out to our team at Ponoka Family Chiropractic.

We’d love to answer your questions and help you and your loved ones 🤍

Summer break is coming — and the transition from school routines to summer schedules can feel overwhelming for many families. 🌞💚

Changes in sleep, routines, activity levels, screen time, and schedules can affect how both kids and parents feel throughout the summer months.

Here are a few ways to help your family feel more balanced and prepared heading into summer:

1️⃣ Create consistent summer rhythms

Keeping regular sleep, meal, and outdoor routines can help support energy, mood, and overall well-being — even without a rigid schedule.

2️⃣ Prioritize movement and outdoor time

Swimming, biking, hiking, playing outside, and other daily movement can support healthy sleep, stress management, and active growing bodies.

3️⃣ Build in downtime

Summer doesn’t need to be packed with activities. Rest and unstructured play matter too.

4️⃣ Continue healthy habits through summer

Many families choose to maintain chiropractic visits during the summer months to support active lifestyles, posture, mobility, and overall wellness.

After a long school year of sitting, screens, busy schedules, sports, backpacks, and activities, summer can be a great opportunity to reset routines and focus on healthy habits as a family.

Summer checklist ☀️
✔️ Consistent sleep rhythm
✔️ Outdoor time
✔️ Daily movement
✔️ Screen boundaries
✔️ Hydration
✔️ Downtime
✔️ Healthy routines
✔️ Wellness support through summer

Summer should leave your family feeling rested, active, and ready for fall. 🌿

Pregnancy care can look very different at 8 weeks compared to 38 weeks. 🤍

Every pregnancy journey is different, and not all follow the same path—but your body is constantly adapting through each stage.

Because what your body experiences in the first trimester is completely different from the third. And your nervous system—the system coordinating so many of the changes happening in your body—benefits from support along the way.

FIRST TRIMESTER: Adaptation + Regulation 🌱
Your body is experiencing a massive hormonal shift. You may experience morning sickness, fatigue, emotional changes—during this time, your nervous system is adapting to rapid change.

Support during this stage can help your body navigate these early changes, encourage rest and recovery, and promote overall wellbeing as you move into the next phase.

SECOND TRIMESTER: Alignment + Space 🤰
Baby continues to grow and develop. Your center of gravity shifts forward, and new tension and postural changes can begin.

This is where we focus on balance (using the Webster Technique) and supporting your body as it adapts to growth and change—helping you stay comfortable as your pregnancy progresses.

THIRD TRIMESTER: Positioning + Preparation ✨
Physical demands may increase. Sciatica, pelvic discomfort, rib pain—your body is preparing for labor.
Support during this stage focuses on maintaining comfort, supporting pelvic mobility, and helping you move more easily as you approach birth.

Your nervous system is involved in coordinating many of the changes happening during pregnancy—from postural shifts to how your body adapts and responds day to day.

Supporting your body throughout pregnancy can help you feel more comfortable, more connected, and better supported for what’s ahead.

You’re not just “carrying a baby.” You’re adapting in incredible ways every single day—and that deserves care and support. 💛

However your journey looks, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

📍 Pregnant or planning? Let’s create a plan that supports you through every stage. Link in bio.
