Dr. Owen Giles believes that we must live congruently to your true core values. What you are passionate about reflects what you are convinced of and what you are willing to dedicate your life to. Dr. Owen is passionate about the fact that God created everyone to be healthy. His passion is lived out by leading families to maximized health through the principles of chiropractic. He is equally passionate about living up to his full God-given potential himself and help maximize the health of as many people as possible.After graduating from high school in Logan Lake, British Columbia, he attended Trinity Western University and earned his degree as Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Biology. During summer vacations and holiday breaks he worked as an EMT with B.C. Ambulance. During this period he began to reason that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and started to investigate the chiropractic profession. Dr. Owen graduated with highest honors summa cum laude from Palmer College of Chiropractic, Davenport, Iowa, USA with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree.During his time in chiropractic school, Dr. Owen was privileged to have been given the opportunity to serve as part of a chiropractic mission team that spent three weeks in Vanua Levu (northern island of Fiji). He says that, "I gained a profound appreciation for what I was called to be and do as a chiropractor."In 2004 he began serving as a chiropractor in Missoula, Montana. After a year of successfully practicing as an associate doctor in the USA he returned home to Canada and helped a college friend open an office in Red Deer. During almost five years in practice Dr Owen finally listened to the persistent voice in his head calling him to open his own office. So, in January of 2010 he relocated to beautiful Blackfalds and has thoroughly embraced the many benefits of living in warm, friendly and growing community.Dr. Owen is married to his soul-mate, Jeran; the woman with whom he shares a passion for helping people maximize their lives. She plays the most valuable role behind the scene at Focus Family Chiropractic. They are eagerly anticpating the arrival of their first child later this year (2011) or early next year."Ultimately, Doctor means Teacher. It is my goal to help as many people as possible to achieve their, optimal, God given potential. Therefore, our practice is as much about education in wellness as it is about health and healing. It is wonderful to see that patients today take a genuine interest in their health and the health of their families. It is very rewarding to take part in restoring health and improving someone's life through Chiropractic."

Testimonials

At age of 60 I am still active in old timer hockey. Prior to coming in to see Dr Owen I was usually stiff and a little sore after games, particularly in my lower back. I have been seeing Doctor O since November 2008 on a weekly bases. I play hockey twice a week and have participated in 3 three day tournaments this year. To date I have had no stiffness or soreness anywhere. I am convinced that it is because of the adjustments to my spine that I am not sore after games. Thanks Doc O!Rick W. Lacombe AB************************************************************************************************I thought headaches were normal. I couldn't even put socks on without pain. After a few months of treatments I have no headaches and socks are not a hassle to put on. Thank you Dr Owen.Shannon D.Innisfail, AB************************************************************************************************Four days before leaving on a holiday, I had a severe asthma attack, followed by deep coughing spells that caused me a great deal of discomfort. I was informed by my family doctor that my back was out and that I should see a chiropractor. I had never considered this type of treatment before, but being in terrible pain and walking like a hunchback highly motivated me to secure an appointment quickly.I hobbled into the chiropractic office for my appointment. I could just barely manage the stairs and had to wear slip-on shoes! and was impressed by the thermoscan that allowed the Doctor and myself to view what was going on with my spine. This gave me a lot of confidence in the treatment that I would receive.I was fortunate that my first treatment brought immediate relief. I have learned many things about my health since the first few adjustments:#1 -- Contrary to having one leg shorter than the other (as told almost 2 years ago by a specialist!), thus requiring shoe wedges in all my footwear, I found that after the third adjustment, the wedge caused discomfort and was no longer needed. I am now able to walk, run and exercise without pain to my hip, things that had become progressively more painful since my daughter was born 22 years ago. I believe that the adjustments to my spine and neck rectified whatever had made my leg appear shorter.#2 -- I have not used my asthma inhaler even once since the first adjustment. I noticed that each adjustment that I had for the first two months triggered my sinus cavity to drain and this has given me relief that I have not had since first diagnosed as an asthmatic with chronic sinus infections as a teenager. Usually I must take both prescription and non-prescription anti-histamines from February till November but I have not had to take any to date.#3 -- All my carpal tunnel symptoms disappeared following the first few treatments. I have had numb finger s since an accident two years ago as well as shoulder and jaw pain. I havent had these symptoms more than three times since having adjustments (over the past 4 months). Additionally, the initial x-rays taken shows a compression fracture in my neck that my family doctor was not aware of (unbelievably the emergency war had not taken an x-ray following my accident even though it was a whiplash type of injury!). A carpal tunnel specialist had advised that I have permanent nerve damage in my elbow and may require surgery not gonna happen!#4 -- Last but not least, I havent put my back out simply by coughing!I am very pleased with my progress and feel more healthy and fit now than I have felt in many years.Thank you Dr Owen!Lorna B.Red Deer, AB************************************************************************************************After 6 weeks of care my chronic headaches I have had for years are gone. Who knew? I also noticed that my overall feeling of well being has significantly improved and I am more fully enjoying my pregnancy.Julia F.Red Deer, AB************************************************************************************************I was experiencing pains in my back and hips for about a year when I went to the doctor and was told I had scoliosis. I was also told it could not be corrected. A few weeks later heard about this chiropractic office and some of the miracles they were able to do. The next day I had my appointments booked and was ready to go! Its now been about a year and my back has almost completely straightened out and Ive stopped experiencing pains in my hips and back. I would recommend Dr Owen to anyone with back, hip and neck pain! Thanks Dr Owen Chelsey A.Red Deer, AB************************************************************************************************I use to have chronic pain and headaches and was told I had fibromyalgia. After regular chiropractic care my health has improved so much. Headaches have become rare and pain is barely there. Thank you so much Dr Owen, may God bless you!Janelle M.Blackflads, AB************************************************************************************************I was injured while training for a big match. I couldnt walk or even stand up straight. A buddy told me about Doc O. But I figured it would fix itself and I could just cover up the pain with some anti-inflammatory drugs, some pain killers and muscle relaxants. So obviously if you are reading this the drugs didn't fix anything and I think I made things worse so I came and saw Doc. Almost immediately I was able to walk up right again and was able to train properly. Thanks Bro! Doc O, Love ya man!!Trevor S.Red Deer, AB
