Dr. Jennifer Zaffino Bio

Dr. Jennifer Zaffino Chiropractor/Active Release Provider/Clinic Director Dr. Zaffino knew from an early age that she wanted to pursue a career in the health care field. Growing up in Jasper, Alberta allowed her to participate in many outdoor sports including skiing, ringette, hockey, baseball, biking and simply enjoying the rocky mountain surroundings. While playing hockey at 16 years of age, she got checked into the boards and injured her tailbone. Her medical doctor took x-rays and determined that she had dislocated her tailbone and would need surgery. Her dad wanted a second opinion, and suggested seeing a chiropractor. After one adjustment her problem was resolved and surgery was not necessary. Dr. Jennifer Zaffino completed her Bachelor of Science in Physiology and Psychology at the University of Alberta and obtained her degree in Chiropractic at the Palmer College of Chiropractic West. During her studies in California, she had the privilege of treating patients of all ages and backgrounds in various multidisciplinary settings. She strives for excellence by helping her patients recover from pain and dysfunction and helps to prevent them from future injury. Additionally, Dr. Zaffino obtained her certification in Active Release Techniques (ART) and is full body certified. After graduating in 2003 Dr. Zaffino joined a clinic in downtown Calgary where she learned a lot and enjoyed the downtown atmosphere, but knew that the commute from Okotoks could only be done for so long. In 2006 Dr. Zaffino decided to move her practice to Okotoks and established Backbones Chiropractic & Sports Therapy. We are thrilled to be one of the largest multidisciplinary clinics in Okotoks and will continue to serve the foothills community to the best of our ability. When not in the office Dr. Zaffino loves spending time with her two boys; traveling up and down the Alberta highways for hockey, and is always looking for the next adventure.

It's great that you're considering chiropractic care for various conditions. Chiropractors can indeed provide treatments to address neuromusculoskeletal issues, including those related to scoliosis, hip and pelvis pain, and shoulder arthritis. However, it's important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional, such as a local chiropractor, to determine the most appropriate treatment approach for your specific situation.

For scoliosis, chiropractic care may involve spinal adjustments and exercises aimed at improving posture and reducing spinal curvature. A chiropractor can assess the severity of scoliosis and provide appropriate treatment recommendations.

In the case of hip and pelvis pain, chiropractors can assess the underlying cause of the pain and provide treatments such as spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, exercises, and other modalities to alleviate symptoms and promote healing.

Regarding shoulder arthritis, chiropractors may offer non-surgical treatment options to help manage the condition. These options can include rest, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), chiropractic adjustments to improve range of motion, corticosteroid injections, and heat/cold therapy. However, the specific treatment plan would depend on the individual's condition and should be discussed with a chiropractor.

Remember, while chiropractic care can be beneficial for many individuals, it's important to have a thorough evaluation by a qualified healthcare professional to ensure that the treatments are appropriate for your specific needs. Consulting with a local chiropractor would allow you to discuss your condition in detail and determine the best course of action.
