Origin Health is a multidisciplinary, wellness clinic that offers chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage therapy, and yoga therapy services, all in one convenient location.

Our mission at Origin Health is to help transform the health of generations of families. Currently, our oldest practice member is nearly 90-years-old and our youngest is 3 weeks old! In fact, working with infants, toddlers, and teenagers is a large component of our practice.

In growing children, we screen the spine for evidence of scoliosis (abnormal curvature of the spine) and conditions such as headaches, “growing pains,” and jaw pain (TMJ disorder), just to name a few.
