Question 1

Where in South Edmonton are you located?

Accepted Answer

Momentum Chiropractic is conveniently located close to the major intersection of 111 St and 23 Avenue, with easy access from the Whitemud Freeway or Anthony Henday.  We are anchored by the Sicilian Pasta Kitchen South and Kunitz Shoes.

Question 2

Do I need to be in pain to come to Momentum?

Accepted Answer

No. Pain is one reason people seek care, but it isn't the only reason.Some people come because they're noticing changes in how they move, are recovering from an injury, or want support as their body adapts to a new stage of life. Our approach is focused on understanding how your body is functioning and responding, not simply chasing pain.

Question 3

How long should I allow for the first appointment?

Accepted Answer

Please allow approximately 60 minutes for your first appointment. This gives us time to talk about what brought you in, complete an appropriate assessment to better understand what may be contributing to how your body is functioning, and what meaningful improvement looks like for you.We'll review what we find together, answer your questions, and determine whether chiropractic care is a good fit. If it is, we'll establish a baseline,  discuss what may be worth addressing first, and use appropriate outcome measures, and reassess along the way so we can see whether you're actually making progress - not simply having a good day.When appropriate, care may also begin during your first visit.

Question 4

Is there anything I should complete before my first visit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We’ll send you a short intake form before your appointment. Completing it ahead of time helps us review your history, understand what matters most to you, and make better use of your time when you arrive.

Question 5

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily.

Question 6

What does an adjustment feel like?

Accepted Answer

Our adjustments are designed to be precise and gentle. For most patients, the Integrator™ delivers a quick, specific impulse rather than the forceful twisting or popping commonly associated with chiropractic care.   Because we use an instrument-assisted technique, there are typically no popping or cracking sounds. You may feel a brief contact or light impulse at the area being adjusted.  We'll explain what we're doing so you know what to expect.

Question 7

Do you use the Integrator for everyone?

Accepted Answer

No. How we adjust depends on the person, their stage of life, and what we find in our assessment.For most patients, we primarily use the handheld Integrator™ with Torque Release Technique. For infants, we use a gentle soft-touch approach rather than an instrument.

Question 8

How do we know if I am making progress?

Accepted Answer

Feeling better matters, but it's only one part of the picture. We don't just rely on how you feel on any one day.  We look at the overall trend using several dimensions of progress, including how often something shows up, how long changes last, and how well your body is keeping pace with what you'd like it to do.  We may also use scientifically-tested functional questionnaires, to help us to understand your experience and track your progress. Along the way, we check-in and compare where you are now with where you started, and together, these changes give us important clues about what's improving, or what may need more attention. Over time, they help us understand how well your body is adapting to the demands of your life and guide what makes sense next.

Question 9

How do you decide how much care I need?

Accepted Answer

The right amount of care isn't the same for everyone. It depends on what brings you in, what we find in your assessment, and how your body responds over time.For some concerns, especially longer-standing problems, meaningful change can take time and may build over a series of adjustments. As things change, so can your recommendations.We want the changes you make through care to last, but bodies and lives are dynamic. An injury, a new activity, pregnancy, postpartum, or the demands of everyday life can change what your body needs. Rather than assuming you'll need the same level of care forever, we pay attention to how you're responding and adjust recommendations as your needs change. You'll learn what you can manage and monitor on your own, and when additional support may be useful.We'll be here when you need us.
