We serve patients from across Saskatoon, including Nutana, Stonebridge, and the downtown core, offering both scheduled and same-day appointments whenever available.

Treatment with Your Trusted Saskatoon Chiropractor 

Our Saskatoon chiropractor uses a hands-on, evidence-informed approach to improving how your body moves and functions. At Axis Health, our chiropractors use a blend of techniques based on your condition, preferences, and comfort level. Dr. Austin also uses the hand-held Activator tool for those seeking gentle chiropractic treatment.

Chiropractic treatment may include spinal adjustments to restore joint mobility, soft tissue work to relieve muscle tension, and movement-based strategies to correct posture or prevent future flare-ups. We also assess how your body moves as a whole by identifying patterns that may be contributing to pain or dysfunction.

Many patients are surprised to learn that chiropractic care isn’t just for back pain. We often help with neck tension, jaw pain (TMJ), sciatica, migraines, postural imbalances, and sports injuries. Our integrated approach means you receive personalized, targeted care, not a generic treatment plan.

What to Expect on Your First Chiropractic Visit

Your first appointment is all about understanding what’s going on and creating a path forward. You’ll start with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Austin, to discuss your symptoms, medical history, and goals for care. From there, your chiropractor will perform a movement and posture assessment, along with any relevant orthopedic testing. If needed you will be sent for x-rays or other testing prior to your first adjustment.

We take the time to explain what we find clearly and without jargon. If chiropractic treatment is appropriate for you, you may receive some form of therapy on the same visit.

Every treatment plan is unique. We’ll outline what you can expect in terms of follow-up visits, exercises, or other supportive therapies. Our focus is on helping you recover quickly and sustainably.
