A chiropractor assesses and treats problems involving your spine, joints, muscles and nervous system. Dr. John Bickert uses specific, hands-on chiropractic techniques and, where it's a good fit, functional neurology approaches to get to the root of biomechanical and neurological issues rather than just easing symptoms.

Chiropractic care can help with a wide range of musculoskeletal and neurological concerns from back and neck pain to joint stiffness and nerve-related issues. Every patient is different, so Dr. Bickert assesses you individually to confirm chiropractic care is the right fit before starting treatment.

Functional Neurology looks at how your nervous system and the rest of your body work together. Dr. Bickert has a particular interest in this area and brings it into your care when it's appropriate especially helpful for more complex neurological concerns that haven't responded to other approaches.

No, In Alberta, chiropractors are primary-contact healthcare professionals, so you can book directly without a medical referral. If your condition would benefit from another healthcare provider, Dr. Bickert will let you know and can point you in the right direction.

Your first visit starts with a conversation what's bringing you in, your health history, and what you're hoping to get out of care - followed by an assessment. Dr. Bickert takes the time to understand your symptoms fully before deciding whether chiropractic care is the right path for you.

An adjustment is a precise, controlled technique used to restore proper movement and function to a joint. Which technique Dr. Bickert uses depends on your condition, health history, comfort, and what the clinical assessment shows there's no one-size-fits-all approach.
