Chiropractic & Advanced Pain Therapy Services in Edmonton
Comprehensive Care in Callingwood at Gilbertson Chiropractic
At Gilbertson Chiropractic, we provide evidence-informed chiropractic and rehabilitative therapies designed to reduce pain, improve mobility, and support long-term function.
Located in the Callingwood area of west Edmonton, we help patients recover from injury, manage chronic conditions, and move with greater comfort through personalized, non-invasive care.
Whether you’re dealing with back pain, tendon irritation, muscle tension, or gait-related discomfort, our integrated treatment approach addresses the root cause — not just the symptoms.
Below you’ll find an overview of our core services. Each treatment plan is customized based on your needs, goals, and lifestyle.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper movement to the spine and joints. When joints become restricted, irritated, or misaligned, they can contribute to pain, stiffness, headaches, and nerve-related symptoms.
At our Edmonton chiropractic clinic in Callingwood, adjustments are precise, controlled, and tailored to your comfort level. Many patients experience improved mobility and reduced tension after treatment.
Chiropractic care commonly helps with:
Low back pain
Neck pain and headaches
Sciatica
Postural strain
Joint stiffness
Sessions typically involve assessment, movement analysis, and hands-on adjustments. Some mild soreness may occur after treatment, similar to post-exercise tightness.
shockwave therapy
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic sound waves to stimulate tissue healing and reduce chronic tendon pain.
It is particularly effective for long-standing conditions that have not responded to rest or traditional therapy.
Shockwave Therapy commonly helps with:
Plantar fasciitis
Achilles tendinopathy
Tennis elbow
Rotator cuff irritation
Chronic tendon pain
Treatment sessions are quick and involve a tapping or pulsing sensation over the affected area. Many patients notice gradual improvement over a series of sessions.
Active Release Techniques (A.R.T.)
Active Release Techniques (A.R.T.) is a specialized soft tissue therapy used to treat muscle tension, scar tissue, and movement restrictions.
This technique combines precise pressure with active movement to break down adhesions and restore proper muscle and nerve glide. It is especially helpful for repetitive strain injuries and chronic muscle tightness.
A.R.T. is commonly used for:
IT band syndrome
Tennis elbow
Shoulder restrictions
Neck and upper back tension
Sports-related muscle pain
Patients often feel deeper release than with traditional massage therapy. Some temporary tenderness may occur, but improved mobility is common after treatment.
Laser Therapy
Laser Therapy uses focused light energy to stimulate cellular healing and reduce inflammation. It is a comfortable, non-invasive treatment option for soft tissue injuries and joint pain.
Laser Therapy can support:
Arthritis-related pain
Muscle strains
Ligament sprains
Joint inflammation
Chronic back and neck discomfort
Most patients feel a gentle warming sensation during treatment. It is often combined with chiropractic care for enhanced results.
Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS)
Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS), sometimes referred to as dry needling, is a technique used to address chronic muscle tension and nerve-related pain.
Using fine, sterile needles, IMS stimulates tight muscles to help release persistent trigger points and improve nerve-muscle communication.
IMS is often recommended for:
Chronic neck and back pain
Sciatica related to muscle compression
Deep muscle trigger points
Repetitive strain injuries
Sessions may produce a brief twitch or tight sensation in the muscle, followed by relief and improved range of motion.
Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics are personalized shoe inserts designed to improve foot mechanics, redistribute pressure, and support proper alignment.
They are commonly recommended for:
Plantar fasciitis
Arch strain
Heel pain
Knee pain related to gait
Postural imbalances
An assessment includes gait analysis and biomechanical evaluation to ensure the orthotics are customized to your needs.
Integrated Care in Callingwood, West Edmonton
At Gilbertson Chiropractic, we don’t rely on one single approach. Many patients benefit from combining services — such as chiropractic adjustments with A.R.T., IMS, Shockwave, or Laser Therapy — to address both joint and soft tissue contributions to pain.
Our goal is long-term function, not short-term relief.

“I’ve been going to see Dr. G and his staff for nearly 8 years now. From basic physical maintenance and self-care to post MVA to now treating a serious roller derby/contact sports injury. I support Thor and the crew here cause they treat people right! Excellent services. Excellent location. Always a good chat with them. And worth my time to drive into Edmonton for the services. If you or anyone you know in the north is looking for a “back-cracker”. Don’t think twice. Give Natasha a call and book in to see Dr. G!”
