When Dr. Michelle Speranza opened Core Balance Centre in 2021, she introduced a revolutionary approach to upper cervical health. One of only four chiropractors in Alberta with
a Diplomate in Craniocervical Junction Procedures, Speranza has built a practice that blends science, curiosity and care, offering precise, non-invasive solutions for complex conditions like migraines, concussions and balance disorders.
In 2024, Speranza expanded her vision with ReHub Health Collective, a centre for brain health and wellness where a team of professionals collaborates to help individuals achieve their health goals.
“It is a pleasure to see patients regain control of their health and start achieving some of their health goals, whether that’s returning to a physical activity, or just being able to engage with family, friends and the community without worry of having their symptoms hold them back,” she says.
Beyond patient care, Speranza invests in the local business ecosystem, mentoring students and participating in the City of Airdrie’s SMARTstart program.
“We can’t do it alone; it truly takes a community. I want to be part of a community that helps foster health and growth,” she says.
With plans to train future National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association practitioners and expand access to specialized care, Speranza is shaping a healthier, stronger Airdrie.
