Who It Suits and What It Addresses

What Chiropractic Is and Who It Is For

Chiropractic at Philo Health is care for how your body moves and functions, delivered by Dr. Justin Tan. People usually come in when something feels off but they can't quite name it. Tension that doesn't fully release. Stiffness first thing in the morning. Symptoms they've been managing rather than resolving.

The work looks at the nervous system and the way your body organises movement, not only the area where you feel pain. Dr. Tan holds certifications in Functional Range Conditioning Mobility, Functional Range Release and Active Release Technique, and he works with the Canadian National Bobsleigh and Skeleton teams. That background shapes a practical, movement-focused approach that suits desk workers, parents, and Calgary athletes alike.

What to Expect in the Room

What a Chiropractic Session Looks Like

Your first visit runs longer than a follow-up, because the point is to understand your body before adjusting anything.

01

History and conversation

We talk through what you've been feeling, when it started, and what makes it better or worse. Wear clothing you can move comfortably in.
02

Movement assessment

Dr. Tan looks at how you move and where things are restricted, testing range and function rather than pressing on the sore spot.
03

Hands-on care

Depending on what the assessment shows, care may include adjustment, soft tissue work like Active Release Technique or Graston, and Rocktape.
04

What you do next

You'll leave with movement guidance to carry between visits. Change tends to become steadier over a sequence of visits, not in one.

What Chiropractic Costs and What Covers It

Fees are reviewed with you before care begins, so there are no surprises. A posted fee schedule is available at the clinic and we'll walk you through it at your first visit.

Most extended health plans include chiropractic coverage. If you're not sure whether your plan applies, bring your details and we can help you check. Coverage varies between plans, so the amount reimbursed depends on your specific policy.

Why Patients Choose This Clinic

Why Chiropractic at Philo Health in Mission Calgary

Care here stays connected. When it helps, chiropractic works alongside massage therapy to release tension and movement guidance to change how the body loads, so your care doesn't feel fragmented across separate appointments that never talk to each other.

Dr. Tan also instructs for Rocktape, teaching movement education to practitioners across Canada, and brings advanced certification from the International College of Applied Kinesiology. The clinic sits on 24 Ave SW, easy to reach from across southwest Calgary. If you're weighing whether this is the right starting point, the conditions we treat page is a good place to see what we commonly help with.

Common Questions About Chiropractic in Mission Calgary

Do I need a referral to book?

No. You can book an initial visit directly. If your extended health plan requires a doctor's referral for reimbursement, check with your insurer, but you don't need one to be seen.

How many visits will I need?

It depends on what's going on and how long it's been there. Good care is a sequence, and we'll review your progress and adjust the plan as we go rather than committing you to a fixed number up front.

Is an adjustment the only thing you do?

No. Care may include soft tissue work, movement guidance and taping alongside adjustment. What you receive depends on what your assessment shows.

What should I wear?

Comfortable clothing you can move in. For some assessments it helps to see the area we're working with, so avoid anything restrictive if you can.

Can chiropractic help if my scans came back normal?

Often, yes. Many people who feel stiff, tense or off have unremarkable imaging. We assess how you move and function, which can pick up things a scan of structure alone may not explain.
