Thrive Chiropractic's Story
Having practiced in Airdrie since 2013, Dr. Lingard founded Thrive in 2017 with a clear vision: to create a welcoming, family-focused space where people of all ages could receive high-quality, compassionate care under one roof.
From the beginning, Dr. Lingard was joined by Maggie McFarlane, a skilled massage therapist and long-time friend and colleague. Together, they began laying the foundation for a clinic grounded in collaboration, trust, and a deep commitment to patient-centered wellness.
Over time, Thrive grew into the vibrant, multidisciplinary clinic it is today. In 2022, RMT Connor Peden joined the team, bringing a thoughtful, therapeutic approach and a strong focus on client-centered care. With each new addition, Thrive has expanded its ability to support families and individuals – offering Chiropractic, Massage Therapy, Acupuncture, and more in a collaborative, multi-disciplinary environment.
Over the years, Thrive has remained deeply connected to the Airdrie community, supporting everyone from newborns to seniors, athletes to students. Our goal is simple: to help you feel better, move better, and live better; with a team who truly cares.
At Thrive, we believe that every patient deserves to feel heard, understood, and empowered in their wellness journey. Whether you're recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, or simply looking to feel your best, we’re so grateful
for the trust you’ve placed in us, and we look forward to being part of your health and wellness journey.

Direct Billing
At Thrive, we know your time is valuable — that’s why we offer direct billing to most major insurance companies, as long as your plan allows for it. If direct billing isn’t possible under your plan, we’ll provide you with everything you need to submit the receipt yourself for reimbursement.
We are also a WCB-certified clinic and can handle motor vehicle accident (MVA) claims, helping take the stress off your plate during recovery.
Please note: Orthotics cannot be direct billed. Patients are responsible for payment at the time of service and can submit their receipts to their provider for reimbursement.
Cancellation Policy
We get it — life happens! We understand that things like illness or emergencies can come up unexpectedly. We’ll always do our best to be flexible and compassionate when that happens. If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, we kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice so we can offer that spot to someone else who may be waiting.
For appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours notice, our policy is as follows:
-
Your first missed or late-cancelled appointment (with less than 24 hours’ notice) will be treated as a courtesy warning.
-
After that, a cancellation fee may apply, as last-minute gaps are difficult to fill and impact our practitioners directly.
If you have any questions or need to cancel, just give us a call or send us a message. We appreciate your consideration and respect for our team’s time!
