Our Story

From One Chiropractor to a Team of Three

In 1991, Dr. Condren Berry opened Okanagan Chiropractic Center on Westminster Avenue in Penticton with a simple belief: that the body has an innate ability to heal itself when nerve interference is removed. That founding philosophy hasn't changed in over three decades.

What started as a solo practice quickly grew through word-of-mouth referrals and a reputation for thorough, individualized care. Dr. Tamara Kornelsen joined the team, bringing advanced training in Active Release Technique and Applied Kinesiology. Most recently, Dr. Maia Pidperyhora — born and raised right here in the Okanagan — returned home to bring a fresh rehabilitation perspective to the practice.

Today, OCC is the busiest chiropractic office in Penticton, serving patients from Summerland to Oliver, Keremeos to Princeton, and everywhere in between.

Our Approach

Root Cause Care, Not Symptom Relief

What sets Okanagan Chiropractic Center apart is our commitment to finding and treating the root cause of your health concerns — not simply masking symptoms. Every treatment plan begins with a thorough one-on-one consultation, physical examination, and an individualized care plan designed specifically for you.

No two patients are alike, and no two treatment plans should be either. Whether you're recovering from a car accident, managing chronic back pain, or bringing your child in for their first adjustment, our approach is always the same: listen carefully, assess thoroughly, and treat the whole person.

Our track record speaks for itself — we consistently receive referrals from satisfied patients and other healthcare providers throughout the South Okanagan.

Our Culture

A Welcoming Environment Where You're Truly Heard

When you step into our practice, you'll first notice the warm and friendly atmosphere. From our front staff to the initial consultation, we prioritize creating a space where you feel comfortable and valued. Our team takes the time to listen — really listen — to your concerns before recommending any treatment.

We believe healthcare should be a partnership. That's why we take time to educate every patient about their condition, their treatment options, and what they can do at home to support their recovery. You'll never feel rushed, and you'll always leave with a clear understanding of your care plan.

Our Values

What We Stand For

The principles that have guided our practice for over 35 years — and that guide every patient interaction.

Patient-First Care

Every decision starts with what's best for the patient. We take the time to listen, assess thoroughly, and build treatment plans around your unique needs — never a one-size-fits-all approach.

Evidence-Based Practice

Our doctors stay current with the latest advancements in chiropractic science. We combine decades of clinical experience with ongoing professional development to deliver the highest standard of care.

Family Wellness

We treat patients of every age — from newborns to seniors. Many of our families have been coming to OCC for generations, trusting us with their children the same way they trust us with their own care.

Holistic Health

We believe in the body's innate ability to heal when nerve interference is removed. Our goal isn't just to relieve pain — it's to help you achieve and maintain optimal wellness for life.

Education & Transparency

We don't just treat you — we teach you. Every patient leaves understanding their condition, their care plan, and what they can do at home to support recovery. No jargon, no mystery.

Community Roots

We live here, we raise our families here, and we're invested in the health of this community. From Penticton to Princeton to Rock Creek, we're proud to serve the people of the South Okanagan.

Our History

35+ Years Serving the South Okanagan

From a single-practitioner office to a three-doctor, three-location practice — built on trust, results, and community referrals.

1991

Dr. Condren Berry Opens OCC in Penticton

After graduating from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto, Dr. Berry establishes Okanagan Chiropractic Center at 272 Westminster Ave W in Penticton. His wellness-focused approach and thorough patient assessments quickly earn the trust of the community.

Late 1990s

Dr. Tamara Kornelsen Joins the Team

With a Doctor of Chiropractic from Western States Chiropractic College in Portland and advanced certifications in Active Release Technique (ART) and Applied Kinesiology, Dr. Kornelsen brings expanded clinical capabilities. Her focus on family wellness complements Dr. Berry's practice perfectly.

2000s–2010s

Expansion to Princeton & Rock Creek

Recognizing the need for chiropractic care in rural communities beyond Penticton, OCC opens satellite offices in Princeton (at Vermilion Chiropractic Center, 139 Vermilion Ave) and Rock Creek (100 Rock Creek Cutoff Road) — extending care to the Boundary and Similkameen regions.

2020s

Dr. Maia Pidperyhora Returns Home

Born and raised in the Okanagan, Dr. Maia earns her Doctor of Chiropractic at CMCC in Toronto and returns home to join OCC. She brings a unique rehabilitation background — having worked as a Rehabilitation Assistant in pediatrics and total hip and knee replacements — that strengthens the team's clinical depth.

Today

The Busiest Chiropractic Office in Penticton

With over 60 years of combined clinical experience, three doctors, three locations, and a 4.8-star Google rating, OCC continues to be the most trusted chiropractic practice in the South Okanagan. Dr. Tamara Kornelsen and Dr. Maia Pidperyhora are currently accepting new patients. Dr. Berry has a full practice but continues to see his established patients.

Community Involvement

Invested in Penticton

OCC has called Penticton home since 1991 — and we believe a healthy community is bigger than the patients who walk through our door.

You can catch our logo on his car all race season long.

Pen High Bursary

Each year, OCC donates a bursary to a Penticton Secondary School Grade 12 student pursuing continuing education. We believe in investing in the next generation of our community — whether they grow up to be chiropractors, teachers, tradespeople, or anything else.
