Meet Dr. Heather McDowell

Chiropractor Wellington, Dr. Heather McDowellDr. Heather McDowell – Chiropractor & Owner

Hi, I’m Dr. Heather McDowell! I’m a chiropractor and the owner of County Chiropractic. My passion for chiropractic began as a teen after a soccer injury—chiropractic care helped me get back on the field, and that experience inspired me to pursue this profession.

I completed my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology at the University of Waterloo, followed by a Master’s in Exercise Physiology at San Jose State University. From there, I went on to graduate cum laude as class valedictorian from Palmer College of Chiropractic West in California. I’ve continued my training with the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, and I’m certified in the Webster Technique, the PIPS Technique, and as a kinesiologist. I’m also a certified Cranial Sacral Therapist. I especially enjoy working with kids and pregnant clients, supporting them through these important stages of life.
