The Re-New Approach
A structured, individualized process for assessment, care planning, and monitoring change over time.
Our Re-New Approach is a step-by-step process that uses chiropractic care and neurology-informed assessment to better understand how your balance, vision, movement, spine, and nervous system may be working together. We use clinical assessment and objective testing, to help guide individualized recommendations for patients experiencing concerns such as dizziness, concussion-related symptoms, headaches, migraine-related concerns, balance changes, and movement-related difficulties.
The Usual Patient Journey
Initial Assessment
We discuss your symptoms, health history, goals, previous testing or care, and how your concerns are affecting daily life.
Neurologically-informed Assessment
Your assessment may include testing of eye movements, balance, coordination, posture, movement control, reflexes, sensory responses, spinal function, and other relevant findings when clinically indicated.
Initial Care Recommendations
Based on your findings, we may recommend initial exercises, home strategies, referral, co-management, or additional testing when appropriate.
Personalized Care Plan
We review your findings, explain what they may mean, and discuss an individualized care plan based on your history, assessment findings, goals, and response to care.
Home Program & Follow-Up
When appropriate, you receive a home program with instructions, frequency, order, and follow-up recommendations. Your plan may be adjusted over time based on your response.

Objective Testing and Assessment Tools
Testing recommendations vary by patient and are based on clinical findings.
-
Computerized Assessment of Postural Systems, or CAPS, uses a force plate to observe how your body maintains balance while standing. During the assessment, you stand on a specialized platform under different conditions while sensors record subtle shifts in weight and changes in position.
This assessment can provide information about postural control, balance strategies, and how your body responds to different balance challenges. These findings may help guide care recommendations, home exercises, referral, or co-management when appropriate. -
Video-oculography, or VOG, uses specialized goggles with built-in cameras to record and analyze eye movements. During the assessment, you may be asked to follow visual targets or complete specific eye movement tasks.
VOG can provide information about eye tracking, visual stability, and patterns that may be associated with dizziness, motion sensitivity, disorientation, visual discomfort, difficulty focusing, or balance concerns. Results are reviewed alongside your history and clinical findings to help guide appropriate next steps. -
NeckCare technology is used to assess neck movement control and joint position sense. The system uses lightweight sensors to observe how accurately the neck and head move through specific tasks.
This assessment may provide information about neck control, proprioception, posture, and movement patterns that may be relevant for patients experiencing neck pain, headaches, dizziness, or balance-related concerns. Findings may help guide individualized care recommendations when appropriate. -
Video Head Impulse Testing, or vHIT, is used to assess the vestibulo-ocular reflex, also known as the VOR. The VOR helps keep vision stable during head movement.
During the assessment, specialized goggles track eye movements while the head is moved in specific directions. The results can provide information about how the eyes and vestibular system are responding during quick head movements. These findings may be relevant for patients experiencing dizziness, balance concerns, motion sensitivity, or visual instability. -
Tilt Table Testing is used to observe how heart rate, blood pressure, and symptoms respond to changes in position, especially when moving from lying down to upright.
During the assessment, you lie on a table that tilts to different angles while heart rate, blood pressure, and symptoms are monitored. This assessment may provide information about patterns associated with lightheadedness, fainting, near-fainting, orthostatic intolerance, suspected POTS, or other autonomic-related symptoms.
Tilt Table Testing is not part of our standard testing protocol. It may be performed on request or recommended by one of our providers based on your symptoms and clinical presentation.
Intensive Care Option
For some patients, a higher-frequency care schedule may be recommended based on assessment findings, goals, travel needs, and clinical appropriateness. An intensive schedule may include multiple appointments per day over a shorter period of time. Objective testing may be used before, during, or after the care period when clinically indicated to monitor findings and guide recommendations.
What may be included:
✔️ Up to 16 rehabilitation sessions, approximately 30 minutes each
✔️ Up to 2 comprehensive evaluation and testing appointments, approximately 90 minutes each
✔️ Up to 10 red light therapy sessions, approximately 30 minutes each
✔️ Functional neurology-informed exercises and sensorimotor therapy
✔️ Access to Recovery Room and Kitchen Area
✔️ Tailored At-Home Exercise Program after Intensive plan concludes
This option may be considered for patients travelling from outside Calgary or for patients whose assessment findings suggest that a higher-frequency schedule may be appropriate.
Standard Care
For many patients, care is scheduled over a longer period with appointments once or twice per week, depending on assessment findings, goals, availability, and response to care. Standard care may include in-clinic appointments, home exercises, and additional testing when clinically indicated. Your schedule and recommendations are reviewed with you before care begins.
What may be included:
✔️Access to Recovery Room and Kitchen Area
✔️Tailored At-Home Exercise Program
✔️Follow-up appointments based on your care plan
Optional Add-ons
Red Light Therapy session
Normatec Compression Therapy
Vie Light Therapy
This option may be appropriate for patients living in Calgary or nearby areas, or for patients whose symptoms and goals are better suited to a lower-frequency schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
An Intensive Care Program is a higher-frequency care option that may be recommended for some patients after an initial assessment and evaluation. Instead of spacing appointments over several weeks or months, care is scheduled over a shorter period of time with multiple sessions per day. The purpose is to provide a structured schedule for assessment, rehabilitation, monitoring, and home-care planning when this approach is clinically appropriate. Recommendations are individualized and based on your health history, assessment findings, goals, travel needs, and response to care.
-
Every patient responds differently. The goal of intensive care is to provide a structured care schedule, monitor clinical findings over time, and adjust recommendations based on your response. Some patients report changes in symptoms such as dizziness, balance, coordination, visual comfort, activity tolerance, or pain. However, results vary and cannot be guaranteed.
Progress is monitored through clinical observations and objective findings when appropriate.Your progress is objectively measured through re-evaluations conducted during and after your program to ensure your treatment remains targeted and effective. -
Intensive care is usually scheduled Monday through Friday. Start times often begin around 9:00 or 9:30 AM, depending on scheduling availability. Patients should generally expect to be in the clinic for approximately 4 to 6 hours per day. Each day may include multiple rehabilitation sessions, structured breaks, and supportive therapies when appropriate. A sample day may include several 30-minute rehabilitation sessions, rest periods, and therapies such as red light therapy if included in the recommended plan. Your exact schedule will be reviewed with you before care begins.
-
Each plan is individualized. A typical 5-day intensive schedule may include:

Your exact schedule may vary depending on your assessment findings, goals, clinical needs, and response to care.
-
Your intensive schedule is planned in advance so appointments, testing, breaks, and supportive therapies can be coordinated appropriately. There may be some flexibility depending on clinic availability and your needs. However, because intensive care involves multiple appointments in a shorter period of time, we recommend planning your week carefully before starting.
-
An intensive schedule may be considered for patients with more complex or persistent symptoms, patients travelling from outside Calgary, or patients whose assessment findings suggest that a higher-frequency care schedule may be appropriate. Eligibility is determined after your initial intake and evaluation. If intensive care is not appropriate, we will discuss other care options or referral recommendations when needed.
-
You can begin by booking an Initial Intake and Evaluation. After these appointments, your chiropractor will review your findings and discuss whether an intensive care option is appropriate. If an intensive schedule is recommended and you choose to proceed, our team will help coordinate the appointments through Jane App, our secure online booking system.
