Introducing Gateway Chiropractic Center

Welcome to our blog! We are excited to share information about Upper Cervical Healthcare, wellness, nutrition and much, much more with you. To start off we'd like to tell you a little bit about us and how we got started on this journey of helping people to regain their health and vitality.

My name is Dr. Brent Owens and I'm originally from a small town in Southern Indiana called Washington. As a child, my mom often went to a chiropractor and would occasionally bring me to get adjusted as well. After high school, I attended Purdue University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in General Health Science. I then started my chiropractic education at Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis, MO in January of 2001. At Logan, I was an Anatomy tutor and graduated Magna Cum Laude as a Doctor of Chiropractic. I also obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Biology while there.

Dr. Gina Dalessandro grew up here, in Cincinnati, OH. She had her first experience with chiropractic when she was 14. Growing up, her family had horses and she rode them everyday. One day, while retrieving some water for them, her back "went out". She was in excruciating pain and once she made it to the house, she couldn't get out of bed. She couldn't sleep because the pain was agonizing. Her mom took her to the medical doctor and he gave her pain killers and muscle relaxers. She also saw several other "traditional" doctors and therapists and had all sorts of tests done, including an MRI, but no one offered her any solutions that seemed to help. To top it off, getting to these appointments was a nightmare, the pain was horrible and she had to be laid down, flat as a board, with the front seat all the way back so as to not to make the pain worse. Then finally her mom took her to a chiropractor. And she started to get better. It wasn't overnight, but it was the only thing that helped her get back to normal, which meant a lot to a very active 14 year old. After high school, she attended Murray State University and was on the rodeo team. She really wanted to work with horses in some capacity and saw first hand how chiropractic adjustments were helping horses regain and maintain their health. Ultimately, she ended up working as a chiropractic assistant for a chiropractor in Cincinnati. This reignited her passion and she decided to attend Logan College of Chiropractic. At Logan, she excelled and graduated Magna Cum Laude as a Doctor of Chiropractic and also received a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Biology.

Gina and I met while attending Logan, and we were quite a match from the start. We both have an intense passion for chiropractic and a vision to serve as many people in need as we can.

Gateway Chiropractic Center opened in early September 2007 in Montgomery, a suburb of Cincinnati. We are one of only two Upper Cervical Healthcare offices in Cincinnati. Wow! This is because there is only a small percent of chiropractors that are thoroughly trained in an upper cervical technique. The highest concentration is on the west coast. It was for this reason we had to pack up after graduating from Logan and move to Seattle, WA. We were passionate about what Upper Cervical Healthcare had to offer humanity and we were willing to move over 2,000 miles west to learn from the best. It was our plan from the day we set out that we would bring Upper Cervical, and its power to restore brain to body balance, back to our families and friends here in Cincinnati. And here we are!
