Meet Red Deer Chiropractor Dr. Norman Hoffman
I love seeing life-changing results every day. I get to see patients who have lost all hope completely regain their health. I love helping children and families get results they did think were possible.
Choosing Chiropractic
Thirty-four years ago, Dr. Hoffman’s dad visited his medical doctor because of severe lower back pain that was preventing him from being able to do the manual labor associated with is job. The doctor told him that there was nothing he could do for him and that he would probably end up in a wheelchair within a few years. His dad didn’t accept this answer and upon the advice of a friend, visited their chiropractor. Right away, he experienced great relief and his back pain went away in a short time. Dr. Hoffman attended a spinal care class given by his dad’s chiropractor and was truly impressed with everything he saw, particularly enjoying the idea of being able to help improve someone’s health without drugs and surgery. Though he was planning on becoming either a medical doctor or a dentist, at the age of 14, he decided that chiropractic was the perfect career for him, and he’s thankful every day for that decision!
