Dr. Christina McArthur, BKI, DC, is a Red Deer chiropractor, researcher, educator, and co-owner of Red Deer Sport + Spine. Her clinical interests include family care, back pain, active rehabilitation, prenatal and postpartum health, and sport performance.
Christina holds a Bachelor of Knowledge Integration and earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC), graduating as class valedictorian and with academic distinction. She subsequently completed the first year of CMCC's two-year Clinical Sciences Residency Program. This program combined advanced postgraduate training involving hospital-based clinical practice, diagnostic reasoning and critical thinking, multidisciplinary care, undergraduate teaching, and independent research.
Her research explores how health professionals learn together, collaborate across disciplines, and apply evidence in clinical care. She has contributed to multiple peer-reviewed research publications and brings that same curiosity and critical thinking to her work as a chiropractor.
As an educator to both chiropractic students and patients, Christina values clear explanations that help patients understand their bodies, their care options, and the steps involved in moving forward.
Dr. McArthur provides evidence-informed, individualized chiropractic care for people with different goals and activity levels. Her approach may combine hands-on care, active rehabilitation, movement, and progressive strength-building. She works with patients managing back pain and other musculoskeletal concerns, recovering from injury, returning to activity, or working toward sport and performance goals.
Movement has shaped Christina's life from an early age. She trained and competed as a dancer for 18 years, which led her to pursue chiropractic. She is also a yoga instructor, soccer player, and enthusiastic runner. These experiences give her a personal appreciation for the physical demands of training, performance, recovery, and lifelong movement.
Christina believes exceptional care begins with listening. Known for her clear communication, collaborative mindset, and genuine investment in the people she works with, she aims to help patients participate confidently in their care. As co-owner of Red Deer Sport + Spine, she is helping build a Red Deer clinic centred on thoughtful care, continual learning, professional collaboration, and meaningful movement.
