Introducing Lethbridge Chiropractor Dr. Angie Dower
As 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!
