Born and raised in Dawson Creek, BC, Dr. Dorian Da Ros completed his Bachelor of Science at University of British Columbia Okanagan in 2015 before pursuing his chiropractic education in Paris, France, graduating in 2020. After completing his studies, he returned to the Okanagan to serve the community he proudly calls home. Dr. Dorian is fluent in French and is pleased to offer care to French-speaking patients.

Dr. Dorian became a chiropractor to help people pursue a high quality of life — for themselves and those around them. He believes the body is far more adaptable and resilient than we often realize, and that with the right support it can overcome challenges and thrive. His approach is lifestyle-based and collaborative, encouraging patients to play an active role in their recovery and long-term health.

Dr. Dorian uses a wide range of techniques tailored to each individual’s needs and stage of healing. His approach may include precise manual adjustments, extremity adjusting, tonal work with breath integration, trigger point and ART-style muscle therapy, PNF activation and stretching, instrument-assisted techniques such as Activator and drop table, soft tissue scraping, and shockwave therapy.

Outside the clinic, you’ll often find him hiking in the Rockies, rock climbing at a local crag, or enjoying time immersed in nature. When he’s not in the clinic, he also enjoys experimenting with amateur winemaking or composing music at the piano.

Dr. Dorian especially enjoys working with:

• Nerve-related pain, tingling, and radicular symptoms

• Athletes seeking improved biomechanics and performance

• Recurring headaches, shoulder tension, and neck pain

• Postural strain from repetitive or sedentary work

• Complex or chronic cases that have resisted other therapies

If you’re looking for a thoughtful, movement-focused approach to care, Dr. Dorian would be happy to support you in reaching your health goals.

Dr. Nykaila Wheeler completed her chiropractic education at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic, where she trained in a hands-on, neurologically focused program. Prior to that, she earned her degree in Kinesiology from the University of Calgary, building a strong foundation in human movement and biomechanics. She is trained in Diversified, Thompson Drop, Upper Cervical, Activator, and Gonstead techniques, allowing her to tailor care to each patient’s comfort level and individual needs.

Dr. Nykaila is passionate about helping patients be a little “greedy” with their health — encouraging people to move better, feel stronger, and reach their personal best. She takes a holistic, family-centered approach that looks beyond symptom relief to support long-term wellness. Her care is practical, collaborative, and focused on helping patients build sustainable habits that support real life — whether that means keeping up with kids, performing well at work, or enjoying everything the Okanagan has to offer.

Outside the clinic, you’ll often find her exploring town with her wife and their two dogs, Winky and Todd. In the summer she loves being near the water, and in the winter she’s usually convincing her Kiwi wife to brave the cold at the ski hill — ideally finishing the day with a great coffee and a good book.

Dr. Nykaila especially enjoys working with:

• Newborns, toddlers, children, and growing families

• Sedentary workers building sustainable movement habits

• Busy parents balancing family life and self-care

• Weekend warriors making the most of every Okanagan season

• Patients who appreciate a blend of hands-on and gentle, low-force techniques

If this sounds like you, Dr. Nyk would love to connect and support you on your health journey.
