Dr. Amber Wiens is a graduate of the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, in Toronto, Ontario. As a professional dancer and aerialist, Dr. Wiens has learned first hand about the physical rigors of the professional athlete/ artist. Her Medical & Chiropractic knowledge base, along with (RAD) and Cecchetti training, has allowed Dr. Wiens to provide Dance Technique Coaching that has proved very successful with professional dancers locally, and internationally. This coaching helps dancers retrain aberrant movement patterns to reduce impact on their joints, and decrease the chances of re-injury.
Along with dancers, Dr. Wiens treats many other athletes, weekend warriors, and those whom have been injured due to repetitive strain or acute injury in the workplace. After having two children of her own, Dr. Wiens has a special interest in treating pregnant mothers both pre and postpartum.
Her approach to treatment is thorough, and along with continuing education she uses whatever resources necessary to bring her patients back to optimum functioning. Dr. Wiens often uses Active Release Techniques®, Acupuncture, Chiropractic manipulation, Rehab exercises, and Physiotherapy modalities to aid her patients in the healing process. Ultimately her goal is to give her patients the tools to assist in their own healing.
Dr. Wiens has been a consulting Chiropractor for dancers at the Alberta Ballet Company, North Calgary Dance Centre, Edge School, Theatre Calgary, and Calgary Circus School. Outside of the office, Dr. Wiens is active in the dance community training, and performing. She also spends time travelling with her husband and two young sons.
