Our comment from PhysioFinder.net about Integrity Spinal Care:

A Gentle, Science-Based Approach to Spinal Health

Integrity Spinal Care distinguishes itself through a specialized focus on NUCCA (National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association) chiropractic care, a technique renowned for its precision and gentleness. Unlike traditional methods that may involve forceful adjustments, this approach targets the upper cervical spine and head to restore structural balance in relation to gravity. Patients consistently describe the experience as "absolutely awesome" and a "game-changer," noting the meticulous, millimeter-by-millimeter analysis of X-rays to customize every adjustment. This scientific rigor, combined with a non-aggressive touch, builds immediate confidence and trust, especially for those wary of conventional "cracking" techniques.

Significant Relief for Chronic Pain and Complex Conditions

The clinic has garnered widespread praise for delivering meaningful relief to individuals suffering from chronic and debilitating conditions. Many patients highlight transformative improvements in quality of life, particularly regarding chronic headaches, migraines, vertigo, and persistent back or neck pain. Testimonials frequently mention walking out with immediate reductions in pain levels after just one or a few sessions, with some noting that after years of struggling without relief, they finally feel hopeful and functional. The ability to address complex cases, including post-surgical nerve pain and spinal misalignments, underscores the clinic’s advanced clinical expertise.

Warm, Patient-Centered Care from Start to Finish

Beyond clinical skills, Integrity Spinal Care is celebrated for its deeply compassionate and personalized patient interactions. Dr. Justin Gauthier and his team are repeatedly described as down-to-earth, humble, and genuinely invested in each patient’s well-being. Reviewers emphasize the time taken to listen to concerns, explain procedures clearly, and provide thorough initial assessments. The staff’s friendliness and the welcoming atmosphere create a supportive environment that extends to pediatric patients and families, with specific mentions of Dr. Justin’s skill in calming anxious children. This holistic, family-friendly approach ensures that patients feel heard and respected throughout their healing journey.

Fantastic experience: If you are hesitant about traditional chiropractic care because you dislike the aggressive "cracking" or "popping" of severe bone manipulation, you need to see Dr. Justin Gauthier at Integrity Spinal Care for NUCCA work. The experience was absolutely awesome from start to finish! NUCCA is a game-changer. It focuses entirely on the first vertebrae of the neck (the atlas), using an incredibly gentle, precise touch to realign the entire body from the top down. I was amazed at how a procedure so gentle could create such an immediate, profound shift in my alignment. Dr. Justin Gauthier is very highly skilled in his profession. What impressed me most was his meticulous approach—he addressed my specific needs with great emphasis on my X-rays, measuring everything down to the millimeter before customizing my adjustment. His clinical expertise and deep understanding of spinal mechanics gave me complete confidence in my care. I highly recommend Dr. Justin Gauthier to anyone looking for effective, gentle, and scientifically precise chiropractic work!

Fantastic experience: The best chiropractor in Medicine Hat! The atmosphere is amazing and the staff are incredibly friendly. After a recent car accident, I was dealing with severe neck pain, and Dr. Gauthier played a huge role in my recovery. Best NUCCA doc in town. I’m so grateful for the care I received—10/10 would absolutely recommend!

Raymond Weich Published on Google

Fantastic experience: The best NUCCA Chiropractor in Alberta! I was having bad headaches, dizziness, vertigo, lightheadedness and Dr. Justin fixed me up! Extremely thankful for him and his very nice receptionist for fitting me in around the holidays and getting me better. Super cool that he is the only chiropractor in town that takes X-rays in house and pre and post X-rays to see exactly if the adjustment went well or not and there’s no guesswork involved. Today my legs were even from being off by 20mm is a huge difference! Super happy with the results.

Fantastic experience: Dr Justin and his staff are super friendly. And Dr Justin helped me get over my migraines that no one else could fix as well as back pain only took 2 sessions then all my years of migraines and back pain was gone

Karen Floyd Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I am incredibly grateful to have seen Dr Justin. He was so kind and helpful. I was in so much pain as I had 3 bulging discs and I was at my wits end with what to do because no one was helping me with my pain. A friend reminded me of Dr Justin and I contacted his beautiful wife and I contacted their office and in 9 days I got into see Dr Justin. The staff were simply wonderful. Again very kind staff and helpful. I highly recommend anyone seeing Dr Justin!

JADYN FODE Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I have been struggling with a persistent issue for the past year that has resulted in debilitating pain. Despite seeing multiple healthcare professionals, I found no relief until I met Dr. Justin. After 1 session the tingling in my arm & fingers were gone. From our first appointment, it was evident that he genuinely cares about his patients. Dr. Justin took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly examined my situation, seeking answers beyond the surface level. His approach is both compassionate and comprehensive, which made a huge difference. I finally feel hopeful and am experiencing relief from my pain. I am incredibly grateful for his support and would highly recommend him to anyone facing similar challenges. Thank you, Dr. Justin, for your exceptional care!

Fantastic experience: We are happy that we found this gentle approach to helping with neck and back issues. Dr Justin is very knowledgeable and has an excellent bedside manner. He is great with kids and has a wonderful approach in explaining what he does and finding the best solutions for his clients. His staff is wonderful too.

Darren Dirk Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I had ACDF surgery on my neck 2 years ago and have nerve pain in my arms and wrists as a result. Dr Justin had a consult with me and said that I was a candidate for a form of chiropractic called Nucca in which he makes very subtle adjustments to my spine to properly align my head with my neck etc. Well in 3 visits he properly aligned everything with zero twisting or cracking etc. I highly recommend this dr as he truly cares for his patients.

Cheryl Dzerdz Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I drive 5 hours just to see Dr. Justin! I have been suffering for about a year now with my atlas and c1 vertebra. Dr. Justin was the one who found it and has helped me get back to normal.

E.j. Hargrave Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Dr Justin was so good at explaining what was happening and making sure I understood. His gentle and calm approach was very relaxing and I believe made the experience more effective. I felt a shift and relief within the first few hours. I dont know if that is always common but it was really interesting to me. I appreciate the follow up and very excited to see my body finding less pain . Looking forward to my continued care

Cheryl Lentz Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Dr Justin is polite and very informative. His Nucca treatments helped me immensely with only 2 treatments. All the staff is very friendly and respectful.

Ioana Luca Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I am so happy to say that I seen Dustin 3 times and my experience with him was very pleasant! He is very professional and he has a lot of experience in what he does with that being said, he has helped me recover from suffering with lower back pain from a pinched nerve since I had a car accident a couple years back! I was in quite pain when I saw him . The day before I saw him I was literally using a cane to walk around the house I was expecting so much pain ! I absolutely love that he is able to take x-rays there and see what the problem is and what he needs to do !!! All I can say is that I am very happy that I have reached out to intergraty spinal care and was able to see him ! It's a blessing to have him in town I would like to mention that I have been to numerous clinics in town to get help and I was not impressed or felt that helped as much as Justin was able to help me. He has healing hands and I am absolutely amazed with his work ! Thank you very much Justin !!!!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Justin Gauthier has made the difference in relieving the recent nerve pain that I was suffering from. Not a full recovery yet but definitely trending in the right direction. Would recommend.

Gae Levy Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Dr. Justin is “the best” He is personable and intelligent. I highly recommend Integrity Spinal Care. I went into the office in extreme pain and left pain free. Thank you Dr. Justin for giving me quality of life back.

Jody Brittner Published on Google

Fantastic experience: By the time I came to see Dr.Justin I was experiencing nearly daily migraines. Traditional chiropractic wasn’t working and I was taking an insane amount of pain meds just to try to get through my day. After my first treatment I was down to 2-3 migraines a week. After some follow up treatments and a couple months I now have maybe 1-2 migraines a month. I have no doubt I’ll be migraine free soon. If you suffer from migraines you’ll know how big of a life changer this is. Before seeing him I had little baggies of Advil and Tylenol EVERYWHERE because at the first sign of pain I’d have to down both Advil and Tylenol just to hopefully get through the rest of my day. The other day my husband asked me where the Advil was and I realized I had no idea, I wasn’t toting around baggies anymore. Thank you Dr.Justin!!!

Fantastic experience: Finding Integrity Spinal Care has been a life-changing experience for me. Dr. Justin’s expertise has been instrumental in my recovery from chronic headaches and stroke. I can't recommend them highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Thank you to Dr Justin and the staff at the integrity spine clinic. Very professional and thorough.

Angie Noelle Published on Google

Fantastic experience: HIGHLY recommend this clinic! Dr. Justin is so kind and ACTUALLY listens and cares about his patients. He works very hard to figure out what is causing pain. He has been the ONLY one who had been able to help with my Trigeminal nerve pain. Together we are working on a multi-facited plan to help with chronic migraines and severe fibromyalgia. I am beginning to find some relief from these two issues as well. His treatment consists of very gentle movements which is so great as it does not trigger migraines and trigeminal nerve pain as other chiro "cracking" techniques have done in the past. Highly recommend!

Andrea Gomes Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Dr. Justin has made a 100% improvement on the quality of my life. I am a complex case , and I have tried many things to say the least! I have found the solution in Nucca and Dr. Justin! Absolutely Excellent care, wonderful people at the office including Dr. Justin! I can not say enough about Integrity Spinal Care!! Thank you Dr. Justin and team!

Kim Johnston Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Dr. Justin is friendly, professional and highly knowledgeable in all facets of NUCCA chiropractics. I saw him for a number of treatments to correct a complex TMJ issue. And while my condition is still unresolved, ultimately I had to make a financial decision regarding my treatment plan. If resources allowed, I certainly wouldn't hesitate to continue with Dr. Justin. j

Sharon McNabb Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Super friendly staff and great results! Not your grandpa's chiropractor!

Steve Krause Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Incredibly competent doctor and staff that were able to correct my spine misalignment and posture in what I thought wasn't possible in such a short amount of time/treatments. Highly recommend to anyone with any spine issues. Plus if they feel that they cannot help you, which I would expect is rare, they will be honest and upfront with you regarding the treatments and possible help they can offer you.

Joanne Bowerin Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I was diagnosed with vertigo and was given a prescription. 16 days later I woke up with the worst headache of my life by far. I lived with daily headaches for 3 years. I spent a lot of money and seen anyone I thought might help. It seemed hopeless and quality of life was lessened because of it. I heard about Dr Justin but wasn’t convinced he could help. I finally gave in and needed to keep trying. He took time to listen, took X-rays, and even spoke to colleagues before treatment. He changed my life or should I say gave my life back to me! It took very little time to notice a difference. I had seen other chiropractors but this was not the same. He is an amazing Doctor and an amazing human being. I would highly recommend him to anyone! Medicine Hat is very lucky to have him!

joe pradzynski Published on Google

Fantastic experience: The best. Can't believe this exists compared to how standard chiro operates. Do yourself a favor and try integrity. They operate in a totally different way than standard chiro and can achieve some amazing results because of that.

Lynnea Elsasser Published on Google

Fantastic experience: My family has been going to Justin for years already. A long time ago, we used to have to drive to Lethbridge for NUCCA treatments, so we were very happy to hear Medicine Hat finally had their own NUCCA chiropractor. Even when I lived in South Korea, whenever I would come home for my short week visits, it was a must to come here. It is evident Justin really cares about his patients. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Anna Klassen Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Dr Justin did an amazing job ajusting my child's neck. My child was afraid Dr Justin took the time and talked her trough her fears and she relaxed.

Amy Sorsdahl Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I am so grateful for the referral I received for Dr. Justin. I found myself having the worst neck pain I had ever experienced in my life. I tried literally every kind of treatment and even purchased new pillows, still no relief. After 4 long months I finally found relief and I have only needed maintenance sessions since. I am so thankful for Dr. Justin and NUCCA. I recommend Integrity Spinal Care to everyone I know. You won’t regret it.

Jennifer Johnson Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Dr Justin has helped me and my family care for our spines and as a result we've seen improved health. His knowledge and passion for evidenced based holistic health is invaluable. I've also personally appreciated the kindness of his administrative staff. I regularly refer my clients and friends to Dr Justin if they are dealing with issues that he can address.

Brooke M. Harrison Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Dr. Justin is hard working, humble, honest, and cares so much about his patients. It was a privilege to work for him and is a privilege to be his patient! Thank you Dr. Justin for playing a crucial role in improving my health and quality of life! You are so appreciated!!

Jason Russell Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I know it's cliche, but this place changed my life. I had pretty sever lower back pain, focused on my right hip, for years. Doctors told me it was just chronic back pain. But, It finally got bad enough that I decided to find a chiropractor. I chose integrity spinal care based of their practice of taking x-rays of your entire spine before they touch you to check the problem. And, if they couldn't help, they would recommend someone who could. With my first session I discovered that my hip pain was actually caused by my neck being out of alignment. 15 minutes of adjustment, which was barely felt, my spine was straight. In three months, I haven't needed another adjustment. The Doctor here knows what he is talking about, his goal is for you to need him anymore. I can't recommend this place highly enough. When it comes to your spine, it's worth getting it done right.

Jason, thanks for your stunning review! I am so excited for you and that we've been able to help you correct your chronic pain! Each and every time we see people get well it is amazing and humbling. We're grateful to have met you and to able to serve you.
You're right, it is our goal to help people to NOT need us again, or at least as little as possible. NUCCA is a wonderful form of Chiropractic.
Glad you are doing so well, thank you again for the great review :)

Fantastic experience: Dr. Gauthier is very caring for his patients and takes different paths to find the best way possible for each individual so they may feel less pain that may hinder them in life and to help them through with a branch of chiropracting to get them happier and more joyful in life feeling strong and willed to get up everyday knowing they will feel no pain and get stuff done in their life due to Dr. Gauthier trying his hardest to help everyone who passes through their doors.

Brea Elford Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Dr. Gauthier is not only very professional, he made me feel as if my care really mattered - he was invested in helping me find a solution to my problems. I live in Edmonton and would drive six hours to see Dr. Gauthier. I have struggled with chronic pain and symptoms for over half my life and his approach to my care is the first time I have managed to find some relief. I can't thank him and his family enough for giving me back some quality of life.

Dana Cook Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Thank you Dr. Justin I truly appreciate your great care this past year. Your office and family are very welcoming and humble, I always enjoy coming to my appointments. I am most grateful for the time you put into my treatments. I never feel rushed, your listen to my concerns and give suggestions as to how I can help myself. I have seen much improvement in my neck, shoulders and hips which has resulted in less pain and better stability. Thank you for you kindness & care of my family & grand babies. Kindly, Dana Cook

Fantastic experience: I strongly recommend Integrity Spinal Care to anyone looking for Chiropractic services. Dr Justin's treatment approach is gentle and effective. The relaxation room is another plus. Kudos to Dr Justin and his team!

Gloria Cruickshank Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough about how much Dr.Justin helped me throughout my pregnancy. I had a stubborn breached baby and he was able to flip my baby to the correct position and keep my hips and pelvis in line for delivery. Postpartum he has been so helpful with adjusting my daughter, which has helped a lot with her feedings. I would highly recommend Dr. Justin to my friends and family and anyone who is in need of a chiropractor. His office is a welcoming environment, and he really takes the time in each appointment to address patient needs.
