Hi my name is Dr. Alysha Hergott. I grew up in Kitchener, ON heavily involved in basketball and generally living a healthy active lifestyle with friends and family. This led me to pursue a degree in Physical and Health Education at Queen’s University where I graduated in 2017. I then continued on to graduate with distinction from Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College and earn my Doctor of Chiropractic in 2021.  I followed that up with moving with my husband to Grande Prairie the same year and now I’m here at Progressive!

As a licensed Doctor of Chiropractic, I pride myself in providing a hands-on, patient centred, diversified treatment experience. What that means is I offer a wide variety of services that are geared towards you as an individual. Those services include spinal and extremity manipulation and mobilization, soft tissue therapy, cupping, shockwave therapy, activator, laser therapy, patient education, and exercise prescription. I use these services to help relieve different stressors on the body and nervous system, while helping you work towards your individual goals and get back to your most enjoyed activities. 

I have also found a special interest in both pediatric and pregnancy chiropractic care. I am now Webster certified, which means I use this specific chiropractic technique to help women who are pregnant optimize their pelvic function and improve their overall health and wellness pre and postpartum. I absolutely love having families in the clinic and look forward to meeting each and every one of you!

Outside the clinic, you can find me curled up on the couch reading, playing volleyball and/or softball in the GP Women’s League, walking my two dogs Luna and Diesel, and camping/hiking with my husband!
