TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE

IMPACT @ MONTGOMERY CHIROPRACTIC PLUS

Intention:
To provide Chiropractic services to an underserved segment of Calgary’s population. In collaboration with Calgary agencies we will identify individuals who could benefit from Chiropractic care, but face income barriers to accessing care.

Scope of Project:
Impact is a six months pilot project. Chiropractic care will be delivered at Montgomery Chiropractic Plus on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The project will be evaluated at the end of six months to determine if it will be extended based on whether demand and participant outcomes justify the allocation of resources.

Participants will be given a referral to Impact by one of our partner agencies.  An initial consultation and examination will determine if the participants can benefit from Chiropractic care.  Once accepted into the program, baseline testing will be completed to determine the participants starting point.  Re-evaluations, participant surveys and an outcome assessment upon the completion of the recommended treatment plan will be used to evaluate the program success. 

For evaluation purposes the following four key metrics will be utilized:

• reductions in participants pain and/or a decrease in their reliance on pain medication
• improvements in participants mobility and function
• participants ability to better perform activities of daily living
• improvement in their overall quality of life

Why Chiropractic Care?
Each year close to one million Albertans find relief from pain and lead more active, healthier lives thanks to chiropractic care.

Some of the common conditions and reasons people see a chiropractor include:

• conditions of the spine, nervous system and extremities           
  
• back pain (thoracic, lumbar and sacral)
• neck pain (cervical spine and related structures)                            
  
• headaches and migraines
• chronic and acute pain syndromes                                                             
  
• repetitive strain injuries
• arthritis                                                                                                                        
  
• postural correction
• nutrition, therapeutic exercise and lifestyle counselling             
  
• general health and wellbeing

 Treatment plans are specific to individual needs working with patients to minimize recurrences and improve their quality of life.

Why is Montgomery Chiropractic Plus offering this program?
We believe in giving back to the community. We have financially supported local charities for the past thirty years, giving indirectly to help those in need. We are now choosing instead to directly support those who could benefit from Chiropractic care, but face income barriers in doing so. It is our hope that those participants benefiting from the care being offered through Impact at Montgomery Chiropractic Plus will experience improved health and quality of life and will therefore choose to leverage our investment by giving back to the community in their own way.
