Yes, in general, chiropractors treat patients of all ages, from infants to the elderly, for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, but there are some situations where chiropractic care might not be appropriate. 

Sciatica refers to pain that travels along the path of the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve travels from the buttocks and down each leg. Sciatica most often happens when a herniated disk or an overgrowth of bone puts pressure on the lumbar spine nerve roots. This happens "upstream" from the sciatic nerve.

"Text neck," also known as "tech neck," is a condition causing neck pain and stiffness due to prolonged forward head posture while using electronic devices, leading to strain on neck muscles and the spine.

A bulging or herniated disc occurs when the soft, jelly-like center of a spinal disc pushes against or leaks out of its outer ring, potentially irritating nearby nerves and causing pain, numbness, or weakness.

Poor posture can negatively impact physical and mental health, leading to pain, reduced flexibility, difficulty breathing, and even affecting mood and self-esteem.

If you've been in a car accident in Calgary and suspect injuries, a chiropractor can help with conditions like whiplash and back pain, offering non-invasive treatment options like spinal adjustments and soft tissue therapies. 

Chiropractic adjustments, when performed by trained professionals, are generally safe and effective for managing musculoskeletal issues, including back pain, neck pain, and headaches, and can improve posture and range of motion. However, some common myths surrounding chiropractic care include the idea that adjustments are painful, dangerous, or only address back pain. 

In Calgary, headaches, including migraines, can be triggered by volatile weather, especially chinooks, and changes in sleep, eating habits, and environmental factors. If you experience severe or concerning headaches, seek medical advice. 

To find a chiropractor in Calgary, you can use online directories like the Alberta Chiropractor Directory or the Canadian Chiropractic Association. You can also ask for recommendations from friends, family, or colleagues, or check out specific clinics like The Chiropractic Center for Health or Full Potential Chiropractic.

No, you generally don't need a referral from a doctor to see a chiropractor; chiropractors are considered primary contact healthcare professionals, so you can contact them directly. 

In Calgary, a chiropractic visit can cost anywhere from $55 to $150 or more, depending on the clinic, type of treatment, and the length of the session.
