Introducing Lethbridge Chiropractor Dr. Angie Dower

Dr. Angie DowerAs a student, I had a lot of pain in my upper back on the right side.  I was studying to be a teacher while I attended the University of Calgary and hours of desk work were beginning to take a toll on my back.  I tried the usual routes of anti-inflammatories and physiotherapy but only managed to get temporary relief.  A friend of mine suggested that I see a chiropractor but to be honest- I was scared.  I had never been to a chiropractic office and I had these terrifying and barbaric ideas of what happened in one.

The curiosity (and the discomfort) finally got the better of me and I went in for an assessment.  I was blown away by how pleasant and professional the office was.  But more importantly, my back pain was relieved and the treatment didn't hurt at all!  I was impressed!

That very day, my life shifted course.  It was like a light- bulb moment for me as I went to the University to research what I would need to do to get into a chiropractic college.  I immediately switched into a science faculty and proceeded full-steam ahead to get the pre-requisites I needed in order to get accepted into chiropractic college.  I was thrilled to learn that I was accepted into the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto, Ontario.

Not only did I have a great four years in Toronto academically, but I also met Gerard who is now the greatest love of my life!  I brought him back to Alberta where we decided to plant our roots and develop our family and chiropractic practice together.

I love meeting new people.  Being a chiropractor allows me to interact with interesting people all day and allows me to help them feel better!  What could be better than that?  I especially love seeing families and children come into the office.  When I treat a child for back pain, headaches, colic or ear-infections, there is no placebo effect and it makes what I do so much more exciting when they improve.  I've always wanted our office to be a relaxing and inviting environment and we've tried to achieve that with the colors and music we've chosen as well as naming each treatment room after a tree.  Our friendly staff helps keep things running smoothly too.  It really is a team approach.

When I am not at the office, you can find me at home with our two beautiful little girls, Emily and Julia.  They keep us hopping between all their activities and social get-togethers.

I personally like to stay fit by jogging regularly, visiting nature and new places and would really like to find the time to improve my golf game!  I also have developed an interest in vitamins and anti-aging techniques as well as homeopathic supplements.  I like to get a chiropractic adjustment to stay healthy and well about every week.

Enough about me!  I would like to know how we can help you meet your health goals and feel great with today's safe and natural chiropractic care.  Give us a call today so we can help you take your first step towards better health and well-being!

 Dr.  Gerard Asks some important questions of interest to Lethbridge residents - Chiropractor Lethbridge Dr. Gerard Asks...

How do chiropractors help ADHD?
There is agreement that ADHD is a nervous system disorder. And while chiropractic isn't a treatment for ADHD, if your child has subluxations, resolving them will often produce profound results. Click here to learn why more and more Lethbridge parents are choosing natural chiropractic care rather than dangerous psychotropic drugs.
What are the two things drugs do?
Drugs can either speed up (laxatives, amphetamines, caffeine) a bodily process, or slow down (stomach antacids, sleep aids, antihistamines, muscle relaxers) a bodily process. Chiropractic care can produce the same results, but relies on the intelligence of the body. Chiropractors trust your body. Do you?
