Spine specialist, Dr. Karl Louder shares a story of a man with multiple disc bulges resulting in severe back and leg pain.

Dr. Karl Louder was born in Quebec City, Quebec, but spent most of his growing up years in Airdrie, Alberta where he now works at a chiropractic office with a special interest in treating discogenic spine conditions such as spinal stenosis, disc herniations, and chronic low back pain.

He studied Exercise and Health Physiology in the prestigious Faculty of Kinesiology at the University of Calgary before going on to complete a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Biology and Doctor of Chiropractic degree at the University of Western States in Portland, Oregon.

Since returning to Airdrie Dr. Louder has enjoyed coaching local football and basketball teams. He’s a board member on the Airdrie Sports Council and is passionate about helping strengthen his community by improving access to recreation and sport.

His long-term aspirations include creating a healthcare model to help address the paucity in quality spinal healthcare available to individuals living in rural areas.

More than anything, Dr. Louder loves to spend quality time with his beautiful wife, Rebecca, and their 3 amazing children.

Dr. Elizabeth Welch shares her breakthrough to helping her patients finally correct their posture.

A word from Dr. Welch:

I am Dr. Liz Welch, Chiropractor and the founder of PostureFit. After adjusting a patient some years ago, I watched as she walked out of my office, hunched over in terrible posture. I thought to myself, "I am delivering the best chiropractic adjustment on my patients, but the moment they leave my office, they are going right back to teaching their body to slouch". I struggled with this, knowing the other methods of fixing posture don't work long term.

That is when PostureFit was born. I want my patients, and I want YOU, to experience the benefits of having Perfect Posture. I want you to look confident with your shoulders back, I want you to feel confident with your head held high. I want you to move better, breathe better, and focus more clearly.

The idea is simple, and the results are life changing. If you take control of attaining great posture, your future self will thank you.
