NW Calgary Chiropractor : Dr. Zahirra Kara

Dr. Kara Provides Quality Chiropractic Care to North Hill Centre Residents

Dr. Zahirra Kara, Calgary Chiropractor

At first Dr. Kara wasn't sure she wanted to be a chiropractor..... it just seemed a little out of the norm.  However, she spent some time shadowing a chiropractor and saw the results people were experiencing.  She also spoke to patients who had been to see several different health providers and learned that some of the most effective and consistent results were achieved with chiropractic care.

Dr. Kara Wanted to Help People

Dr. Kara had always wanted to do something where she was helping people and she was fond of health-care. As previously mentioned, she had shadowed several health disciplines and found that the rapport chiropractors had with their patients was astounding.  Dr. Kara learned that the chiropractic health model not only aimed at resolving a patient's current symptoms or discomfort but also sought to encourage and help include healthy lifestyle choices as part of an ongoing health strategy for the patient.  It was then that she knew she wanted to be a part of a profession that wanted to challenge the current health paradigm and help people to live healthier fuller lives.

Chiropractic Education

Dr. Kara stayed in Canada to pursue her chiropractic education because she wanted a truly Canadian experience.  What surprised her was the level of academic talent she exposed to in school.  The caliber of  professors and level of achievement of the people at the college was second to none. The students, professors and clinical advisors were constantly raising the bar for excellence. It was here that Dr. Kara gained knowledge to be a Chiropractor.  But it was her clinical experience and interaction with patients that taught her compassion and made her a Doctor.

We Want to Do What's in the Patients Best Interest

Our practice philosophy at Full Motion is do what it takes to get the patient better, understand that there are different modalities of care and that the patient has the right to choose from any number of treatments available.  We take an evidence based approach to treatment.  We want to do what's in the patient's best interest while employing tools and treatments that have been proven to be effective both clinically and scientifically.

Health is Paramount

As you can probably tell Dr. Kara thinks health is paramount and without it we can not meet our potential as caregivers, adventurers, or whatever it is we choose to be.  In her time away from work she tries her best to be active and enjoys walking, yoga, and pilates.  Dr. Kara believes in balance and enjoys time with family and tries to see her friends as often as possible.

Dr. Kara Has a Diverse Skill Set to Help Calgary Patients

In order to serve patients more effectively, Dr. Kara has adopted a diverse skill set including post graduate training in Active Release Technique, Graston Technique, nutritional therapy, custom foot orthoses evaluation and casting, radiography, and rehabilitation.  In addition to traditional manipulation techniques, Dr. Kara also employees various low force techniques such as Activator Method, Flexion/Distraction and Thompson Terminal Point Technique.

Dr. Kara Asks some important questions of interest to NW Calgary residents - Chiropractor NW Calgary Dr. Kara Asks...

Could a chiropractor put an end to bedwetting?
If bladder control seems elusive, consider chiropractic. If spinal bones are interfering with nerves that control your child's bladder, plastic sheets, alarms and other methods simply add to the embarrassment. NW Calgary parents are often amazed (and relieved) that chiropractic can be so helpful. Learn more.
Is a muscle spasm a cause or an effect?
With the knee-jerk use of muscle relaxers, you'd think it was a cause. But it's an effect. Chiropractors know that bones don't move unless muscles move them. And muscles don't contract unless commanded by the nervous system. That's why your nervous system is the focus of our NW Calgary chiropractic practice.
