“Dr Horia is great! Helped with my lower back pain and neck. However it took consistent visits and doing the exercises that the doctor gave me”

“I first saw Dr. Horia two years ago, and I was immediately impressed by how thorough his assessment was. He took the time to carefully evaluate from head to toe; Adjusting meticulously. Every appointment since has been just as comprehensive. I had been struggling with headaches, and Dr. Horia was able to identify the underlying cause and help me effectively manage them. His knowledge, attention to detail, and genuine care for his patients are evident in every visit. I highly recommend Dr. Horia to anyone looking for a practitioner who is thorough, knowledgeable, and dedicated to providing excellent care.”Read moreShow less

“Clinic: Big Idea Family Chiropractor I can’t recommend Dr. Horia and Big Idea Family Chiropractor highly enough. From the moment I walked in the clinic I felt welcomed and cared for—appointments start on time, the staff are organized and friendly, and the space is clean and calming. Dr. Horia is an exceptional Chiropractor, his adjustments and joint mobilizations delivered immediate relief for my broken arm after surgery recovery with a hand held instrument which breaks down the scar tissue, as well as my lower/upper back pain, and his diagnosis and treatment plan was very thorough and easy to follow. He combines expert hands-on care with soft-tissue techniques and practical rehab exercises tailored to my needs, and he took time to explain each adjustment and ergonomics so I could prevent future issues. Beyond his technical skill, Horia’s bedside manner is compassionate and professional—he listens carefully, answers questions clearly, and genuinely cares about patients’ outcomes. If you’re looking for a skilled, family-friendly chiropractor who gets results, Big Idea Family Chiropractor is outstanding. I will recommend all my friends and family!”Read moreShow less

“I suffered from a back injury caused by a car accident and struggled with persistent symptoms for nearly two years. I visited three different clinics, but none of them were able to provide meaningful improvement. A friend recommended Dr. Joitescu, and his deep expertise and exceptional treatment approach helped me recover within just four months. His new clinic is equipped with several top‑tier medical devices, which further elevate the quality and effectiveness of his treatments. I highly recommend him to anyone dealing with chronic pain or injuries.”Read moreShow less

“Dr. Horia is an exceptional chiropractor in Calgary who truly understands the biomechanics of the body and how to treat the root cause of pain. I originally went to see him for headaches, knee pain and low-back pain, his custom orthotics, shockwave therapy, and spinal decompression took my whole body pain away. His professionalism, and expertise in extremity adjusting completely changed my quality of life. Dr. Horia takes the time to understand your lifestyle, movement patterns, and goals to create a treatment plan that actually works. I highly recommend Dr. Horia to anyone looking for sports chiropractic care in Calgary, especially runners, active individuals, or anyone wanting to improve their overall health and mobility. If you are dealing with knee pain, back pain, or sports injuries, Dr. Horia is the chiropractor to see. He truly changed my life, and I’m grateful for the care and results I’ve received.”Read moreShow less

“I saw Dr. Horia for the first time and my experience with him was nothing short of magical. I’ve been suffering for back pain for the longest time, due to the nature of my work, and I had come to accept it. A few months ago I slipped and fell, dislocating my shoulder. Dr Horia realigned my whole body and I instantly felt the relief. If I had a choice to give him a 10 star rating, I would in a heartbeat. I’ll be recommending him to anyone I know. Thank you, Dr Horia!”Read moreShow less

“After dealing with persistent neck and lower back pain for years, plus a bad break in my right 5th metatarsal that just wasn’t healing properly, I finally found real relief at Big Idea Family Chiropractic in Calgary with Dr. Horia Joitescu. Dr. Horia is incredibly knowledgeable and uses the precise Gonstead technique along with gentle cervical chair adjustments that actually corrected the root issues instead of just masking the pain. The spinal decompression and shockwave therapy sessions were game-changers for my back, and the custom orthotics he recommended helped stabilize my foot so I could get back to my normal activities - hiking, gym, and daily life - completely pain-free. I’m now 34 and in ongoing wellness care because the results have been that good. The team is professional, the clinic is welcoming (great location on Macleod Trail), and Dr. Horia truly takes the time to listen and tailor the care. If you’re in Calgary looking for an effective chiropractor who specializes in Gonstead, decompression, shockwave, and orthotics, this is the place. Highly recommend - best decision I made for my long-term health!”Read moreShow less
