Committed to your health
Dr. Norman Hoffman
Babies & Chiropractic Care
“After my twin babies were born, I noticed that one was having trouble latching on and nursing in the traditional cradle hold. She seemed to get very frustrated and cried a lot. Dr. Hoffman examined her at seven days of age and found that her neck would only turn so much on the one side. He adjusted her and since then she has been nursing in all position without any trouble at all. My deepest thanks to Dr. Hoffman for his care for me and my babies.” Colleen, Red Deer, Alberta
Back Pain & Chiropractic Care
“I injured my back at work a year and a half ago. I had countless tests and treatments that didn’t help. I was in such pain that I was not sleeping or eating right. I had constant headaches and was very depressed. I felt a difference after just three adjustments. The pain is gone. No more headaches and I can now sleep like a baby. If it weren’t for Dr. Hoffman I would have had a needless surgery on my back. Thank you for giving me my life back!” Rose
“When I began chiropractic care the pain in my lower back was debilitating. I also had pain between my shoulder blades and in my neck. The pain is steadily diminishing which has enhanced life. Work is easier, sleep is undisturbed and for the fist time in years, I can work without a back brace!” Irv
“I came to see Dr. Hoffman because of the intense pain along my entire spine and the burning and weakness in my legs. Since receiving chiropractic care, the pain has drastically reduced which help me sleep better and do more. For example, I can ride in vehicles for longer periods of time.” Diana, Rimbey, Alberta
“My back was in so much pain that my arm swinging while I walked was extremely painful. After seeing Dr. Hoffman I am now functioning normally. I can now pick up my kids and play with them again.” Mike, Red Deer, Alberta
“I have suffered for the past three years with serious degeneration – lower lumbar, spine, and neck. My ribs wouldn’t stay in place and I had such pain in my legs that I had to use a cane to walk. I saw several medical doctors and other chiropractors, and I was told that I would not be walking at all in two years. After about six weeks of care from Dr. Hoffman, I felt very good again! Dr. Hoffman has all the latest knowledge and equipment, and a whole new world of information and knowledge that changes the whole scope of health, wellness and chiropractic. I have improved greatly and I am extremely grateful to Dr. Hoffman and his staff!” Marlene, Edmonton, Alberta
Bowels & Chiropractic Care
“When I first started at Hoffman Chiropractic & Wellness Centre, my bowels had not functioned on their own for 6 months. I was also experiencing neck stiffness and lower back pain. Since getting regular chiropractic care, not only are my bowels functioning again, but I sleep through the night, have more energy, and less back and neck pain. The office is clean and spacious. Dr. Hoffman was interested and listened to my history and concerns regarding my overall health. His knowledge and experience are priceless to someone who has chronic pain.” Jean, Red Deer, Alberta
Children & Chiropractic Care
“My son was hyper and unable to concentrate. I noticed an improvement in 2 weeks. And in only 6 weeks he became a different boy. He is a much more happy and contented child. And he can now play quietly by himself.” Diane
“My daughter had constant ear infections and allergies to animals, food etc. She now has no earaches and no allergic reactions.” Lisa
“I was twelve when my grandma encouraged me to see Dr. Hoffman for my low back pain, headaches and pain in my heel and ankles. My heel problems had forced me to quit gymnastics. I went to many different doctors but no one had any solutions, they all said that I would have to grow out of it. After a few treatments of Dr. Norm re-aligning my ankles and spine, I was able to return to gymnastics. I have even succeeded in making it past the first stage of the National Team trials.” Carmen, Bowden, Alberta
“I had headaches, strep throat, and ear infections that made me miss 40 days of school in grade 5. Since receiving chiropractic care, I have not been on antibiotics, no strep throat and I had only ear problem that was cured without antibiotics! I haven’t missed any school. I haven’t missed any hockey or any other sport. I have more energy.” James, Red Deer, Alberta
Ears & Chiropractic Care
"Our daughter was experiencing chronic ear infections before receiving chiropractic care at Hoffman Chiropractic & Wellness Centre. After a few chiropractic care sessions our daughter no longer has ear infections related to colds, flus or swimming. We are now able to enjoy swimming again as a family without the concern of our daughter getting an ear infection. Chiropractic care will always be a part of our families health & wellness care!" Lisa, Red Deer, Alberta
“I brought my three year old daughter in to see Dr. Norm because of her constant ear infections. For the previous two years she had spent most of the time taking antibiotics and now there was a possibility that she would have to have tubes in her ears. Since receiving care, her ear infections have been significantly reduced. She did not have to have the tubes put in and her antibiotic intake has been reduced by 75%. As a side benefit, my daughter is in a far better mood after her adjustments, so I often bring her in when she is whiny and hyperactive.”
“When I began chiropractic care, the ringing in my ears was so intense that it would wake me up at night. After seeing Dr. Norm, I can sleep at night and the overall results have been great! I have more energy and can hear better.” Lonnie
Fibromyalgia & Chiropractic Care
“I was suffering a great deal with my fibromyalgia having to take Percacet almost everyday for the pain. I was extremely skeptical but you have helped me to become a much happier, more productive person. In the past year, I have taken less than 10 Percacet in total because I am feeling so much better.” Marina, Edmonton, Alberta
“I suffer from fibromyalgia and heart pain. After seeing Dr. Hoffman the chronic pain has definitely been reduced and I find it easier to walk and travel. The chest pain is gone.” Shirley
“I had severe pain through out my whole body. Fibromyalgia pain. Very severe emotional problems from past experiences. My condition has gone from severe to almost normal. I have less pain and can function from day to day emotionally. I’ve learned to let things go. I can do more with my family. I have more energy for my work outs. I am less of an emotional wreck and I feel happier and relax more and enjoy the present. Dr. Norm has been a life saver for me. I appreciate the kind consideration of the staff and the family oriented atmosphere. Dr. Norm has been very compassionate to my needs.” Laura, Red Deer, Alberta
“With Dr. Hoffman’s help I’ve really come a long way. No longer do I suffer with the pain associated with fibromyalgia. I can sleep without medication. I no longer feel the anxiety that was preventing me from being with family and friends. My migraines are much, much better and not as debilitating as they once were. A very heartfelt thank you.”
Hands/Arms & Chiropractic Care
“ I had numbness going down my left arm. I can now go back to the gym and finish a work out.” Darwin, Red Deer, Alberta
Hip Pain & Chiropractic Care
"Before meeting Dr. Hoffman I used to experience extreme pain in my hips which made walking very difficult. It also was quite uncomfortable sitting and lying down and I also suffered from frequent headaches. Since receiving care I can now walk with ease and without a limp at all! I have no pain in my hips and headaches are far less frequent. I can do everything a 29 year old should be able to do; run, walk, dance, jump, climb stairs! The incredible team at the clinic is always friendly and Dr. Hoffman is always amusing, as well as very skilled. The advanced technology and the client care classes are great too!"—Amanda
Knee Pain & Chiropractic Care
“I was experiencing severe knee joint pain with every step I took. It also ached when I wasn’t walking. I had experienced this for 15 years with it getting increasing worse to the point that I could barely walk. I am amazed with results. I can now walk any distance I like and be on my feet for any amount of time I like and I feel no pain. Simply “ a miracle” Thank you Dr. Hoffman, for caring for me and helping me so much” L.B., Salmon Arm, British Columbia
Menopause & Chiropractic Care
"Before coming to Hoffman Chiropractic & Wellness Centre I was experiencing menopausal symptoms, I hurt all the time and was tired with no energy. Since receiving chiropractic care I no longer hurt, I have energy and feel good both mentally and physically. With the new found energy I can now exercise and go all day, doing things I never felt like doing before!" Maureen, Rocky Mountain House, Alberta
Neck Pain & Chiropractic Care
"A constant throbbing in my neck area which had been causing my hands to fall asleep was the reason I began to see Dr. Hoffman. Since coming to the clinic, the pain is next to nothing and I can do everything that I enjoyed before! The friendly atmosphere, the "Doc" and the feeling after an appointment are among the many things I enjoy when visiting the clinic. I plan to continue my care for overall maintenance!"- Vicky, Drumheller, Alberta

Shoulder Pain & Chiropractic Care
“I have a frozen shoulder with very limited use of left arm. Since coming to the clinic I have MUCH more freedom of movement and MUCH less pain. I can do my own hair again. I can work a full day at the computer pain free! I can reach for things without sharp jabs of pain! I can even fight with the cat (and win) and can make sudden evasive moves with my left arm! Fantastic. The appointments are arranged to accommodate my schedule. The Dr. and staff are personable. I’m getting results!”
Sleeping Problems & Chiropractic Care
“I had such low energy in the daytime because of my inability to sleep and also to relax. After 3 treatments I literally was sleeping 50% better. Within 6 treatments, I was 70% better and back to a normal sleeping pattern. I’m experiencing dreams for the first time in at least two years. I have far more energy in the day.I have a completely different view of chiropractic care after coming to this office. I love that Dr. Hoffman has not just a vast knowledge of the human body from a medical stand point but also looks for ways to heal the body from a homeopathic stand point, introducing vitamins, herbs and many different types of chiropractic care into the treatments to give patients a total health makeover.” Reagan Dale Neis, Actress (Material Girls, Maybe It’s Me (TV Series), A Minute with Stan Hooper (TV Series), Malcolm in the Middle)
"I began chiropractic because I couldn’t sleep due to a violent home invasion. I would sleep 1-2 hours at a time. The very first night I saw Dr. HoffmanI got my first 8hr sleep in 5 years. I now continue to go to keep me healthy and able to sleep and to be able to participate in physical activities. I’m not always tired and on edge, I have more energy and I am more peaceful."
“I was having trouble with sleeplessness. Now I only wake once or twice a night. I am more awake at work and have more energy.” Bonnie
Stomach Pain & Chiropractic Care
"I started Chiropractic for my constant stomach pain, bloating and aching. My food digestion was at a minimal amount. Dr. Hoffman actually listened and addressed issues I brought up! I now experience only sporadic pain and bloating and he has had me allergy tested as well and discovered that I am allergic to wheat. I have less irritability; I'm not as moody, have better focus and am all around more relaxed and happy!"—Lauren
“I have had stomach pain along with bouts of constipation and diarrhea. Since coming to the clinic my stomach pain has been completely eliminated. The constipation and diarrhea bouts have been equally reduced. I have not had to receive medical attention or hospital admittance since starting treatments. I like the relaxed atmosphere, along with the time taken to explain symptoms.” Ron, Red Deer, Alberta

I now have my life back, I can go and enjoy everything I’ve always loved to do. I wish everyone would try Dr. Hoffman – I can’t describe just how much he has done for me – I owe him a lot of thanks!” Lorraine, Lacombe, Alberta
Sports & Chiropractic Care
“I am a power lifter. I competed in the Junior National Power lifting Championship and placed silver in the 90kg class. This sport is brutal on my joints! For several years I had suffered pain in my neck and lower back, shoulders and knees and injury to both rotor cuffs. The culmination of severe pain and weakness in both shoulders had stopped me from competing. Then it all changed…. I met Dr. Hoffman and I got better! During my first treatment, I drilled him with every question I could think of and Dr. Hoffman answered every one thoroughly and to my satisfaction. The adjustments were different – a lot less forceful then I had been receiving from previous chiropractors. I started to improve immediately! There was less pain in both shoulders and I regained my strength slowly. I continue to see Dr. Hoffman to prevent this injury from coming back and maintenance adjustments keep me in top performance. He is the only chiropractor I trust to help me and the reason I drive three hours to do so.” Dino, Edmonton
TMJ & Chiropractic Care
“I used to wake up hurting and needed medication for the TMJ pain. After coming to the clinic, I seldom wake up in pain and haven’t had to take meds. I just feel better overall, and definitely enjoy not having pain in my jaw! I also sleep better. There is very little wait time.” Dayna, Red Deer, Alberta
“I had an extremely tense jaw that I couldn’t open. Since coming to Dr. Hoffman I can now eat a steak! It is so good to be able to open my mouth and enjoy food.” Michelle, Red Deer, Alberta
“I have had terrible jaw pain for about six years. I had been diagnosed with TMJ and I went to a very expensive specialized dentist and also tried acupuncture. Nothing had the lasting effect I was looking for. I was also having neck, back, and hip pain that required me to take nine pain killers a day. After seeing Dr. Norm my pain has been reduced tremendously and I no longer take any pain pills. I have more energy too. With Dr. Hoffman's unique techniques I have had better results than with anything else I’ve ever tried. I feel 100% better.” Stephanie, Red Deer, Alberta
Women & Chiropractic Care
“I started care because of lower back pain I was experiencing. But I was also experiencing such severe menstrual cramps that I would be incapacitated for at least a day each month. I had been like this since I could remember. After a very gentle adjustment to my tailbone, my lower back pain went away almost immediately. And my cramps have almost completely disappeared. It’s always amazes me what chiropractic can do”
“I had constant pain in my neck, lower back, hips, knees, ankles, and wrists. I especially had heavy/painful cramping during my menstrual cycle. I now have less pain and when I maintain my adjustments my menstrual cycle is mild and no cramps at all!” J.K., Edmonton, Alberta
Multiple Symptoms & Chiropractic Care
“I had pain in my back, feet, shoulders and neck all of the time. I used rubbing creams, sleeping pills, and all kinds of anti-inflammatory pills. This went on for 28 years! My stomach couldn’t take the pills anymore and I was so unhappy. This has all changed since seeing Dr. Norm. I am happier, not in pain, and sleeping through the night without pills. I can’t believe it! It is like a miracle.” Jean, Rimbey, Alberta
“I was having headaches, nausea, dizzy spells, blackouts, severe back aches, severe asthma, and stomach cramps. I now don’t have any of these complaints – I don’t even use my inhaler anymore. I can walk farther than across the room and I can sleep through the night.” Lisa

I have more energy and am able to do things I have not been able to do for sometime.” Sheldon, Red Deer, Alberta
“Before seeing Dr. Hoffman I was uptight, had neck pain, sleeplessness and unable to be mobile without feeling stiff. I now have no pain, sleep well, and feel 100% better.

I am able to meet challenges of every day living with a better attitude.” Trudy
