Ever wonder why your neck and shoulders are constantly tight?

Here's what's happening: Every time you look down at your phone, you're adding up to 60 pounds of pressure on your spine.

Think about that. Your head weighs about 10-12 pounds in a neutral position. But for every inch your head moves forward, the force on your neck multiplies.

At a 60-degree angle (typical texting position), your neck is supporting the equivalent of an 8-year-old child sitting on your shoulders.

All. Day. Long.

We're talking hours of scrolling, texting, and laptop work. Your spine wasn't built for this. And your body is sending you signals, tension headaches, stiff neck, shoulder pain, and that annoying knot between your shoulder blades.

The good news? Your body is incredibly adaptable. With appropriate care and adjustments to your daily habits, many people are able to improve their posture and reduce discomfort.

At Douglasdale Family Chiropractic in Southeast Calgary, we specialize in assessing spinal health and creating personalized treatment plans to address the root cause of your pain, not just mask the symptoms.

If optimizing your health is a priority for you and your family, then follow us. :)

If you’re looking for a chiropractor in SE Calgary that you can trust, meet Dr. Darren.

Long before he ever stepped into a clinic, performance and discipline were part of his life. He competed in wrestling, ranking nationally in Canada, and trained in rugby across Australia, Canada, and the U.S.

That experience taught him something early: the people who perform at their best invest in their health intentionally.

That mindset led him into chiropractic.

Dr. Darren completed his education in Canada, Australia, and the U.S., graduating Summa Cum Laude and ranking third in his class.

After building a successful practice in California and working closely with athletes and teams, he chose to return home to Calgary, where his family is and where he grew up.

Outside the office, he’s a husband to Jami and a proud dad to two boys, Hunter and Cub. Family is at the center of everything he does, and he approaches patient care the same way he would for his own family: honestly, thoughtfully, and focused on long-term function.

He believes optimal wellness is built on clear nerve function, movement, rest, nutrition, and positive focus.

For Dr. Darren, chiropractic care isn’t just about short-term relief.

It’s about helping people in SE Calgary reach their full potential at work, at home, and in life.

If you are interested in how chiropractic care could be part of your health routine, then let us know below. :)

Meet Dr. Cole Bishop 👋

An active lifestyle has always been part of Dr. Cole’s world.

He played football at the post-secondary level, including junior football on Vancouver Island and CIS football with the University of Alberta. But it was an Achilles rupture during play that changed his path.

Going through rehabilitation and working with a chiropractor helped Dr. Cole get back on the field and continue competing at a high level. More than that, it gave him the feeling of returning to himself again, a moment that stayed with him.

That experience sparked his decision to pursue chiropractic as a career.

Dr. Cole earned his Bachelor of Kinesiology from the University of Alberta and later graduated Cum Laude from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto.

Today, he brings that background, perspective, and respect for the body into the care he provides every day.

What to expect at Douglasdale Family Chiropractic 👋

Chiropractic care here is hands-on, personalized, and never forced.

Our chiropractors use manual adjustments to support joint movement and alignment in the spine and extremities. The primary technique used is Diversified, with Thompson Drop and Activator Methods® offered in certain situations, depending on individual needs.

Every adjustment is adapted to the practice member’s age, comfort level, and presentation. If a lighter approach is appropriate, that’s exactly what’s used — especially for infants, children, and seniors.

There’s no one-size-fits-all care here.
No rushing.
No pushing past comfort.

Care is always tailored with intention, clear communication, and respect for each individual’s goals.

Because feeling comfortable and informed matters just as much as the adjustment itself 💙

At the heart of chiropractic care lies a simple yet powerful principle: the body is designed to function at its best when the nervous system is able to communicate clearly.

B.J. Palmer, often called the “Developer of Chiropractic,” believed that supporting the body’s structure could play an important role in overall wellness.

Chiropractic care focuses on addressing areas of interference in the nervous system, with the goal of supporting normal communication between the brain and body.

When the spine is functioning optimally and the nervous system can communicate efficiently, individuals may experience improved function and a greater sense of overall well-being.

When someone has seen a lot of chiropractors, their perspective matters.

One thing we hear often is how much people appreciate the care, knowledge, and intention that goes into every visit at our clinic. Especially for those who live active lives and put real demands on their bodies.

Rather than just time on the table, many patients value learning ways to better understand their body and how to support it outside the clinic too. That education piece matters.

We’re grateful for the trust, the kind words, and the opportunity to support people who want to stay engaged in their own care.

Thank you for being part of our community. 💛

Did you know prenatal chiropractic care isn’t just about back discomfort?

For some expecting parents, it’s about supporting how their body adapts during pregnancy, especially as posture, movement, and pelvic dynamics change over time.

Rather than focusing on treating symptoms or predicting outcomes, prenatal chiropractic is often approached as a way to support comfort, body awareness, and nervous system regulation during a period of rapid physical change.

Thinking about whether chiropractic belongs on your prenatal care team?

Learning your options and choosing what feels right for you is part of informed, empowered care.

🤔 Real talk: Can stretching actually protect your lower back?

Here's what the science says:

A major research review tracked people who stretched consistently for 12 weeks. The results? About 1 in 141 people avoided an exercise-related injury compared to non-stretchers.

Not exactly headline-grabbing numbers, right?

But here's the thing, small, boring habits compound. That 5-minute morning routine might not feel like much, but your back will thank you months from now.

Quick wins to try:

Knees-to-chest pulls
Hip flexor stretches
Cat-cow flows
Gentle glute work

Think of stretching like flossing. Nobody gets excited about it, but skipping it long enough? You'll definitely notice.

Feeling stiff or stuck? Some people jumpstart their routine with chiropractic care or guided movement sessions before going solo.

Bottom line: Stretching won't make you bulletproof, but it might help you move through life with less "ugh, my back" moments.

What actually happens during a chiropractic adjustment?

A chiropractic adjustment is a gentle, precise movement applied to a joint, most often in the spine, to help it move better.

When a joint isn’t moving well, the surrounding muscles can tighten and movement patterns can slowly change over time.

During an adjustment:

A chiropractor applies a quick, controlled motion to a specific joint.

This helps improve joint movement

Muscles around the area often relax

The body may move and feel more comfortable afterward

That “pop” or “crack” some people notice isn’t bones snapping. It’s simply gas releasing from the joint, similar to cracking your knuckles.

Adjustments aren’t about forcing the body.

They’re about supporting healthier movement and alignment over time.

Don’t let this be you.

Hours spent looking down at our phones quietly add up.

Neck strain. Rounded shoulders. A spine that slowly adapts to the position it’s in the most.

Posture isn’t about standing perfectly all day.

It’s about awareness, movement, and giving your body regular chances to reset.

That’s where regular movement, intentional habits, and chiropractic adjustments can help support your body before patterns become problems.

Small choices today shape how your spine feels years from now.
