- Patients often share how that waddling feeling and hip pain during pregnancy affected their ability to easily carry all the groceries from the car in one or two trips. With Dr. Mohamad's help and a focus on feeling more aligned and balanced in their posture, many are now enjoying life with improved function and less discomfort.
- If overall body soreness that doesn't go away is impacting your daily life and preventing you from enjoying sitting comfortably through a movie at the cinema, know that effective chiropractic care can help. Dr. Mohamad focuses on achieving better tolerance for physical activity without experiencing significant post-activity pain so you can engage in the things you love again.
- Dr. Mohamad frequently helps people find solutions for the limitations imposed by dizziness that came out of nowhere, especially when turning my head. The common goal is turning their head fully and comfortably again, making driving and daily tasks easier, enabling a confident return to valued life activities, for instance, working on your car in the garage, with greater comfort and ease.
- Imagine being able to enjoying your competitive tennis matches on Saturday mornings again without general joint stiffness all over, making me feel old holding you back. Dr. Mohamad works closely with patients to achieve outcomes such as reduced inflammation and swelling in affected joints, promoting comfort, often utilizing targeted spinal adjustments and supportive therapies to restore proper function.

The clinic is conveniently located near the Major East-West Arterial, making it easily accessible for residents in the area.

Free patient parking is typically available on-site or nearby.
- What is that 'cracking' or 'popping' sound during an adjustment?
- That sound is a common and usually harmless phenomenon called joint cavitation. When a joint is gapped during an adjustment, the pressure inside the joint decreases, allowing dissolved gases in the joint fluid to form a bubble, which then quickly collapses, creating the 'pop'. It doesn't mean bones are cracking, and many effective adjustments occur without any sound at all.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in AB?
- In Alberta, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, which means patients can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients are advised to check the specifics of their individual insurance policy.
- What kind of clothing should I wear to my chiropractic appointment?
- It's best to wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing that allows for ease of movement. Athletic wear, leggings, comfortable pants, and a t-shirt are generally good choices. This allows your Chiropractor to easily assess your posture and movement, and perform any necessary examinations or treatments. You may be asked to change into a gown for certain parts of the examination if needed.
- Does Elements Health offer direct billing to private insurance companies?
- Yes, Elements Health offers direct billing to most major private insurance companies such as Canada Life, Sun Life, Manulife, Green Shield, etc. Patients should bring their insurance card/details and confirm their specific plan coverage with their insurer, as plans and coverage amounts vary. The patient is responsible for any co-payments or amounts not covered by their plan.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB?
- In Alberta, AHCIP provides limited coverage for chiropractic services for seniors (65+) and dependents (under 18), typically a set number of visits or a maximum dollar amount per benefit year, often requiring co-payment. For other adults, AHCIP generally does not cover chiropractic care in private clinics. Patients are encouraged to check current AHCIP limits and their private insurance coverage.
- Do Chiropractors work with other healthcare professionals?
- Yes, Chiropractors often believe in a collaborative approach to healthcare. They frequently work with and refer to other healthcare professionals such as family physicians, physiotherapists, massage therapists, naturopathic doctors, and specialists when it is in the best interest of their patients to ensure comprehensive and optimal care.
- How can I tell if chiropractic care is right for me?
- If you are experiencing pain, stiffness, or dysfunction related to your spine, muscles, joints, or nerves—such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, or extremity joint problems—chiropractic care may be beneficial. It is recommended to schedule an initial consultation where Dr. Chehimi can perform a thorough assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine if chiropractic treatment or another approach is suitable for your condition.
