Meet Dr. Mike Stewart
From Patient to Chiropractor
Originally from Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Dr. Stewart moved to Calgary in 1976 to attend SAIT, graduating with a Diploma in Business Administration. After a car accident in 1981 left him with daily neck pain and headaches, his career path changed; he discovered chiropractic through Dr. David Peterson (a chiropractor who would later become both mentor and colleague).
Inspired by that experience, Dr. Stewart pursued pre-chiropractic studies at the University of Calgary before moving to Toronto to attend the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College. After graduating, he returned to Calgary in 1989 and began practicing alongside Dr. Peterson at the Chinook Centre Clinic.
In 1995, Dr. Stewart bought into a practice in downtown Calgary—what is now Core Health Centre. For nearly 30 years, he’s been a steady presence for busy professionals in the city’s centre. His hands-on, Diversified style remains grounded in traditional chiropractic techniques, offering practical support for common issues like back pain, neck stiffness, and headaches.
“We have a very tight-knit clinic, and there’s inter-referrals between practitioners.” Dr. Stewart appreciates that it’s a place where patients can count on experience and continuity.
Moving With Purpose
Outside the clinic, Dr. Stewart leads an active lifestyle that includes hockey, golf, motorcycle rides, and long walks with his Border Collie-Mini Aussie mix. He and his wife enjoy a close relationship with their two grown children, who still live in the city. His passion for service has extended beyond Canada; he’s led multidisciplinary mission teams delivering chiropractic care to communities in Guatemala and Malawi.
Here to Help, Here to Stay
Whether you’re dealing with back pain from sitting for extended periods at work or love to stay active (and want to stay that way), Dr. Stewart offers care that’s practical, personalized, and built on decades of experience.
