About Us

Dr. Trent Dean DC BPE CCSP

Meet Our Founder and Lead Chiropractor

Hello, I'm Dr. Trent Dean, the clinic director and operator of the Chiropractic Family Wellness Centre. Since our doors opened in the heart of Calgary's Mission community in 1995, my commitment has been unwavering: to provide exceptional chiropractic care tailored to the needs of athletes, active individuals, families, and children.

Education and Expertise

My journey in chiropractic care is rooted in a deep understanding of physical health. After earning a Bachelor's degree in Physical Education from the University of Calgary, I was drawn to the transformative power of chiropractic medicine. This passion led me to Palmer College of Chiropractic, where I graduated in 1995. Further honing my skills, I became a Certified Chiropractic Sports Practitioner in 1999, a testament to my dedication to supporting athletes and active lifestyles.

Personal Life and Community Connection

Calgary is more than just the location of our clinic; it's my home. I grew up here, and since 1997, I've been happily married to Carla, a dedicated Neurosurgical Nurse Practitioner specializing in spinal patients. Together, we've nurtured a family that shares a love for active living. Our two sons, Owen and Easton, have embraced their passion for hockey, with Owen studying and playing at a university in Wisconsin and Easton playing Junior hockey in Okotoks.

Living the Chiropractic Lifestyle

Chiropractic care is not just my profession; it's a cornerstone of our family's life. It has played a pivotal role in maintaining our active lifestyle, keeping us engaged in the sports we love. I personally enjoy staying active through hockey in the winter and golf in the summer.

At the Chiropractic Family Wellness Centre, my goal is to extend this philosophy of active, health-focused living to all our patients. Whether you're an athlete, a weekend warrior, a parent, or a child, our team is here to support your journey to optimal health.

Dr. Michael Breen BPE DC

A Visionary in Personalized Lifestyle Medicine

Dr. Michael Breen, a distinguished member of our team at the Chiropractic Family Wellness Centre, brings a unique perspective to the field of chiropractic care, one deeply rooted in the philosophy of Personalized Lifestyle Medicine. His approach challenges the conventional methods of managing chronic diseases, advocating for a proactive strategy that addresses the root causes rather than merely treating the symptoms.

Revolutionizing Health Care

Dr. Breen's mission is clear: to revolutionize the way we view and treat chronic disease. He questions the effectiveness of traditional Western medical practices that focus heavily on managing disease consequences. His belief is that the steady increase in chronic diseases over the past six decades is a clear indication that a new, more effective health care model is needed.

A New Perspective on Health and Healing

Dr. Breen's approach to health care is innovative and holistic. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the underlying causes of illness and tailoring lifestyle interventions to each individual's unique needs. His goal is to guide those struggling with chronic conditions back to a state of health and vitality through cutting-edge lifestyle care. He believes that optimizing health is not just a dream, but a tangible reality that can be achieved with the right approach.
