Regain Your Lifestyle

What is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractors are health care experts trained in the neuro-musculoskeletal system to diagnose and treat disorders of the spine and other body parts through the use of various treatment techniques. Avita Health's Chiropractors also use a diverse range of techniques in addition to adjustments, in order to get the best outcomes. Chiropractors provide non-invasive management of disorders including, but not limited to, back, neck and head pain. They also advise patients on corrective exercises, lifestyle and nutrition.

Chiropractors will find and then effectively treat your injuries and help you to minimize reoccurrences. Once they have diagnosed the source of your injury or complaint, Avita Health’s Chiropractors will inform you about what care you need in order to regain your health and lifestyle.

Dr. Rachel Rottger is a chiropractor and movement specialist from Alberta, Canada, with a diverse background in sports performance, rehabilitation, and biomechanics. She earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer West Chiropractic College in San Jose, California, and holds a Bachelor of Physical Education with a concentration in sport performance from the University of Alberta.

As a chiropractor, Dr. Rottger takes a holistic approach to musculoskeletal health, addressing not just the symptoms but the underlying causes of pain and dysfunction.
