Meet Dr. Mark Plotnikoff
Our Chiropractic and Wellness Leader
With over 30 years of dedicated practice, Calgary Chiropractor Dr. Mark Plotnikoff has built his career on listening carefully, educating clearly, and combining movement science with whole-body movement and function. His early experience in competitive athletics and bodybuilding taught him how structure, strength, and recovery interact. A personal health challenge later deepened his commitment to proactive care and making health a priority before problems arise.
Professional Path and Philosophy
Dr. Plotnikoff began his pre-chiropractic studies at Selkirk College and completed his Doctor of Chiropractic at Western States Chiropractic College in Portland in 1994. He remains committed to continuing professional development, meeting or exceeding the requirements set by the College of Chiropractors of Alberta, and is affiliated with the Alberta College of Chiropractors, the Canadian Chiropractic Association, and the Canadian Chiropractic Protective Association.
His approach centres on precision, clarity and collaboration. He sees the body as a connected system—not just spine and joints—and works closely with his multidisciplinary team so patients receive the right care in one place.
