Dr. Oliphant's focus is the treatment of chronic, severe back and neck pain, sciatica, and neck/arm pain resulting from internal disc derangement, disc bulges / herniations, degenerative disc disease, arthritis, and facet joint injuries.

Dr. Oliphant himself suffered chronic low back pain and sciatica for many years following a motor vehicle accident in which he herniated his L5 disc, eventually necessitating 11/2 years off work. He finally got long-term relief of his low back pain and sciatica with the DRX 9000 non-surgical spinal decompression therapy machine, and brought the DRX 9000 and DRX 9000C to Calgary, being the first clinic in Western Canada to provide this treatment. Since then his clinic, Alberta Back and Neck Rehab, has performed approximately 5,000 decompression treatments.

Alberta Back and Neck Rehab is also the first clinic in Western Canada to provide the MedX Medical Lumbar Rehab for relieving chronic back pain, of any cause, by strengthening the lumbar erector muscles in isolation.

As well, Alberta Back and Neck Rehab has one of the only Multi-Cervical Units in Western Canada for relief of chronic / severe neck pain through neck rehab.
