With a background in sports and an active lifestyle, Dr. Choong was drawn to chiropractic after witnessing its powerful impact on recovery, performance, and overall function. Her professional interest became deeply personal when she struggled with intense daily headaches. While traditional chiropractic care provided relief, it was NUCCA (National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association) care that significantly reduced the frequency and intensity of her headaches and transformed her quality of life. That experience solidified her commitment to helping others achieve meaningful, lasting improvements in their health. Dr. Choong focuses on individualized, function-based care with an emphasis on restoring balance, reducing strain on the nervous system, and supporting long-term wellbeing. She values collaboration and works closely with other healthcare professionals to ensure patients receive comprehensive, coordinated care. She has practiced in Ontario, Manitoba, and Washington State before establishing her practice in Calgary, Alberta. This diverse clinical experience has shaped her thoughtful, patient-centered approach. Dr. Choong is proud to serve as co-owner of Full Circle, where she helps lead a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment grounded in evidence-informed care and long-term patient outcomes. She continues to pursue advanced training and professional development to refine her skills and stay current in upper cervical and functional healthcare. Outside the clinic, Dr. Choong enjoys spending time in the mountains with her family, running with her dogs, and staying active in the Calgary community. https://dramandachoong.ca/new-patient-centre daily 0.75 2026-03-04 https://dramandachoong.ca/contact daily 0.75 2026-03-31 https://dramandachoong.ca/services daily 0.75 2026-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68471278ca2a135cf464e50e/af466f19-c0aa-4455-b612-3ffb290f8529/Adjustment.jpg Services - Chiropractic Adjustments NUCCA (National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association) is the primary technique used. It focuses on the upper neck and the adjustment is gentle. X-rays of your head and neck are taken within the office, and analyzed to determine your specific misalignment and how to correct it. The joints in your back and pelvis, as well as extremities, will be checked for restrictions and adjusted. A variety of techniques may be used including Diversified, Thompson drops, Gonstead, and Activator. Nutritional and lifestyle advice may also be provided. Supplements may be purchased through Fullscript, and delivered right to you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68471278ca2a135cf464e50e/e9644057-dbb5-435f-8a6d-88c044f8231b/foot-orthotics-img-2-640409233.png Services - Orthotics A custom orthotic is a device designed to align the foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient position. They are biomechanical medical appliances that are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance, and reduce stress and strain on your body by bringing your feet back into proper alignment. Custom orthotics fit into your shoes and they are made from precise imprints of your feet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68471278ca2a135cf464e50e/01d98882-414a-4b86-8e49-30bf236c54c1/IMG_9210.jpg Services - Decompression A spinal decompression table used computerized technology to create a negative pressure within the cervical or lumbar discs, which can result in the retraction or repositioning of the disc, leading to pain relief. Care is customized by selecting the duration of the treatment, as well as the force and speed of the pull. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68471278ca2a135cf464e50e/fc82e1bf-c5be-46a7-8b72-350f228cd3ae/shockwave-therapy-1044437060.jpeg Services - Shockwave High energy sound waves with the assistance of a conductive gel stimulate the body’s natural healing process. The waves promote blood circulation, breaks down scar tissue, and potentially decreases sensitivity of pain receptors leading to pain relief. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68471278ca2a135cf464e50e/2f570947-b552-4800-a31f-df4905633d0d/laser-therapy1-1622485097.png Services - Laser Therapy Light waves stimulate the body’s natural healing process by bringing water, oxygen, and nutrients to the targeted area. As a result, inflammation is reduced, circulation increases, and pain may be eliminated. Heat is typically not felt with these treatments.
