Introducing Dr. Sherra Sanders of My Spine Docs

Dr. Sherra Sanders, Calgary ChiropractorQuite simply, chiropractic has always been a part of my life. My mom first took me to see a chiropractor when I was just a toddler. She was concerned about how I was walking after taking a pretty serious fall at the playground. She was so pleased with the results that regular visits to my chiropractor soon became part of our family’s routine. I am convinced that regular chiropractic care was essential to keeping me active and healthy while growing up, and is still just as important in my life today!

Interestingly, I also come from a family of chiropractors. My great uncle was one of the first chiropractors in Calgary, and many of my cousins are also in the profession. It is so wonderful to have people you love and trust as colleagues who all share the common goals of an active wellness-based lifestyle, as well as a commitment to educating people about genuine balanced health.

I couldn’t help but be influenced by the passion of the other chiropractors in my family, and after completing my Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Calgary, I was off to Northwestern Health Sciences University in Minneapolis, Minnesota to pursue my chiropractic training. I really enjoyed my time living in the Midwest. I made some great friends, discovered my new passion (yoga!) and learned so much, but I am thrilled to be back home and practicing in Calgary.

I believe that good health comes from a balanced lifestyle, and on that journey we all must make proactive choices for our mind, body, and spirit. At our office we emphasize the importance of a strong and healthy body and spine, as well as providing lifestyle counseling to give you the tools the build your very best life. I love having a holistic family practice, and I aim to always enthusiastically share what I know and learn with all of my patients.

I think it is important to lead the lifestyle that I am teaching others about, and for that reason I love being active. Spending time outdoors with my husband is the best way to share a day. You might also find me chasing my dog at the local dog park, hiking in the mountains, skiing during our never-ending winters, or working on my yoga practice. I am hoping to finally do a headstand one of these days!

I am so excited to be able to be part of you and your family’s journey toward improved health. Please give us a call or stop in. We offer a welcoming environment that you are sure to love.

The Doctor Asks some important questions of interest to Calgary residents - Chiropractor Calgary The Doctor Asks...

How could chiropractic help a stomach problem?
Chiropractic works by locating and reducing areas of the spine compromising nerve communications between your brain and your body. If nerves to or from your stomach are irritated, your stomach won't work right. Chiropractors find the source of the interference, reduce it and allow your body to work as designed.
How long does it take to form a bone spur?
Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.
