Our Mission & Philosophy
At Pangea Chiropractic, we believe that the power that made the body heals the body. Health is possible for each and every one of us. When the body becomes unbalanced from physical, chemical, or emotional stressors, symptoms begin to appear. These symptoms are like your body’s “check engine light” – not the problem itself, but an alarm signaling a deeper issue that needs addressing.
Our approach is different. We don’t just treat symptoms – we seek the root cause of your condition. As your chiropractors in Bend, Oregon, we provide education, guidance, and precise adjustments to help your body function optimally, empowering you to experience true health and wellness.
How Pangea Chiropractic Began
Pangea Chiropractic was founded on a simple yet profound belief: the power that made the body heals the body. Our practice emerged from a vision to create a wellness center where patients are treated like family, receiving personalized care that addresses the root causes of health concerns rather than just managing symptoms.
Dr. Andrew Torchio and Dr. Ashley Campbell established Pangea Chiropractic after graduating from Palmer College of Chiropractic. Dr. Andrew left a career in pharmaceutical research, having worked at one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies, to pursue a more holistic approach to health. Together with Dr. Ashley, they built a practice dedicated to helping patients discover their body’s innate healing potential.
