Why is the clinic called Oma Chiropractic?

Growing up, Dr. Karen Jongedijk had a fantastic grandmother and they called her Oma. It’s not a well-known word in English but sounds nice and is easy to pronounce (unlike her dutch last name!) The word Oma holds a lot of meaning for us. An “Oma” is caring and wise and someone you go to for advice. Oma also contains the word “om” which means the possibility for a different reality. So, hopefully, people come to our clinic for support, to get to a better place, and have us in their lives as they continue living well.

Our enjoyment comes from seeing what you can accomplish when your body is functioning well. We aim to make you stronger, healthier and more resilient through regular ongoing chiropractic care. Our reward is sharing in your happiness when you get to do things you love.
