Same-Day Chiropractor in Calgary

Same-Day Chiropractor Appointments in Kensington

A back that locks up, a neck that will not turn, an injury that cannot wait: you should not have to wait days to be seen. Shephard Health offers same-day chiropractic appointments at our clinic on Kensington Road NW, a few minutes from downtown Calgary.

Call (403) 543-7499 or book online and we will find the earliest time we have. Same-day times depend on the day's schedule, so calling is the quickest way to find one.

New patients start with a $67 exam and treatment. No referral needed, and we direct bill most major insurance providers.

When to Book a Same-Day Visit

Pain that came on suddenly is a good reason to be seen quickly. Common examples:

  • A sudden back spasm or low back pain after lifting or twisting
  • A stiff neck that appeared overnight
  • Pain after a fall or a sports injury
  • Neck tension with headaches
  • Pain after a car accident (see our motor vehicle accident care)
  • Jaw pain, clicking or locking (see TMJ chiropractor care)

Go to emergency or call 911 for chest pain, trouble breathing, sudden weakness or numbness, loss of bladder or bowel control, severe pain after a serious fall or crash, or a sudden headache that is the worst of your life.

What Happens at a Same-Day Visit

A new patient visit takes about an hour.

  1. You book. Online or by phone, and tell us what is wrong.
  2. History. What happened, when it started, what makes it better or worse, and your health history.
  3. Exam. We look at how you move and examine the sore area, the surrounding joints and muscles, and your posture.
  4. Treatment the same day when it is safe. Depending on what we find, that can include chiropractic adjustments, Active Release Technique, cold laser therapy or shockwave therapy.
  5. A plan. Home advice and exercises, and follow-up visits if you need them. If something needs a doctor, we tell you.
