Motor Vehicle Accident Treatment  

Endurance on 8th Health Centre provides treatment for Motor Vehicle Accident injuries such as sprains, strains and whiplash injuries.

Under Alberta's auto insurance system you are entitled to accident benefits coverage regardless of whether you were at fault for the accident. If you are injured in a motor vehicle collision you may access treatment at a clinic like Endurance on 8th in order to get you better.

Within 10 days of the accident you should see a primary health care practitioner such as a chiropractor, or physiotherapist. If your injury is a sprain, strain or minor whiplash injury, your chiropractor or physiotherapist does not need authorization from your insurer for treatment and Endurance on 8th Health Centre will bill the insurer directly. These protocols have been developed in consultation with primary health care practitioners and are based on the best research and evidence currently available.

Custom Orthotics

Lack of proper care, ill-fitting shoes and general foot neglect are responsible for the majority of foot problems.  It is important to understand the impact on your body with each step. A small problem in foot function can have a large impact on joints higher up in the body, causing pain and discomfort.

Orthotics and proper shoe fit are very important aspects of foot health.

Remember, if you are experiencing any discomfort inyour ankles, knees or hip joints, the direct cause may be the function of your feet or ill-fitting shoes.

Our Doctors of Chiropractic prescribe custom orthotics to their patients for various symptoms. Many medical conditions often stem from a biomechanical gait abnormality that can be treated with custom orthotics.  Some common ailments related to poor foot biomechanics include:

  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Morton's Neuroma
  • Metatarsalgia 
  • Achilles Tendonitis 
  • Iliotibial Band Syndrome
  • Runners Knee
  • Sacroiliac Syndrome

Orthotics are often covered by your extended health insurance plan.  We recommend referring to your benefits booklet or website provided by your employer to determine your coverage.

Saliva Hormone Testing

Saliva hormone testing is an accurate, non-invasive and clinically useful way of measuring hormones. Thousands of studies using salivary hormone analysis have already been published, with more being added on a regular basis.

Saliva collection is painless and convenient, particularly when multiple samples are required.

Benefits of Saliva Hormone Testing

Saliva hormone testing can be used to identify existing hormone excesses or deficiencies.  For example, finding out that a woman lacks sufficient progesterone to balance high estradiol levels or that high cortisol levels are interfering with the action of progesterone and testosterone. Once a hormone imbalance has been identified, nutritional or bio-identical hormone therapy may be indicated.

Saliva collection is painless and easy to perform.  Blood collection requires a trip to the laboratory, and some hormones cannot be tested in blood (e.g. estriol).  Additionally, the stress of a needle puncture for blood collection tends to effect some hormone levels (e.g. cortisol).

The Following Tests Are Available At Endurance on 8th Health Centre:
