Sydney Rowan, DC (She/Her)

Growing up in beautiful, sunny Colorado, Dr. Rowan discovered her love for the outdoors at a young age. She grew up participating in competitive volleyball and swimming, and has since maintained a passion for health and wellness. Sydney attended the University of Colorado at Boulder where she earned a bachelor’s degree in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology with a pre-medical emphasis.

After moving to Portland in 2016, she discovered the world of chiropractic, and she knew instantly that this was the career she was meant for. She graduated from the University of Western States summa cum laude in 2019 with a Doctorate of Chiropractic and Masters in Sports Medicine.

While obtaining her chiropractic degree, she furthered her education with outside courses and certifications in Active Release Technique (ART)McKenzie Diagnostic Technique (MDT), Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), and Motion Palpation Institute (MPI). Throughout her clinical and educational experience, she developed a focus on rehab based chiropractic care in order to educate her patients and give them the tools they need in order to accomplish their goals.

In her free time, Dr. Rowan enjoys exploring the trails of Forest Park with her chocolate lab, Oliver, hiking, and discovering all that Portland and the surrounding area has to offer!

“Once again, I went in with an incredible lower back pain and, like my first visit about four years ago, I walked out pain free. Between skilled massage therapy, which indicated the problem ran up the right side of my spine, and the gentle, soft tissue technique of Dr. Sydney Rowan, it was like a miracle to rise from the table without pain. The pain is still lurking, so Dr. Rowan gave me simple exercises to keep it at bay and told me to avoid sitting for long periods of time over the next few days. It has been a long time since I have had such acute pain. Great work, Hosmer!”
