Kelowna Wellness Clinic
Kelowna Wellness Clinic stands out as a premier destination in Kelowna for those seeking a medical model that prioritizes root-cause resolution over symptom management. Led by Dr. Brent Barlow, ND, a distinguished naturopathic physician and former varsity athlete, the clinic combines advanced diagnostic precision with regenerative medicine to deliver lasting health solutions.
Unlike traditional clinics that may rely on trial-and-error approaches, Kelowna Wellness Clinic employs thorough movement evaluations and cutting-edge lab testing to uncover hidden causes of pain, chronic fatigue, and digestive disorders. This data-driven strategy ensures that every treatment plan is highly personalized, avoiding one-size-fits-all protocols.
The clinic’s service menu is extensive, featuring evidence-based regenerative therapies such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), Prolotherapy, and Hyaluronic Acid (Durolane) for joint and tissue repair. For internal health, Dr. Barlow offers specialized programs for digestive wellness (including SIBO testing and gut restoration), cardiovascular support, and hormonal balance. Patients can also enhance their vitality through IV nutrient therapies and optimize their appearance with non-surgical cosmetic rejuvenation treatments.
Whether you are an athlete recovering from injury, dealing with chronic pain, or seeking to optimize your long-term wellness, Kelowna Wellness Clinic provides a proactive, holistic environment where you can truly move better, feel better, and live better.

Our comment from PhysioFinder.net about Kelowna Wellness Clinic:
A Holistic Approach to Pain Relief and Wellness
Kelowna Wellness Clinic distinguishes itself by integrating advanced diagnostics, natural therapies, and regenerative medicine. Rather than focusing solely on symptom management, the clinic aims to identify hidden causes of pain, fatigue, or digestive issues through personalized analysis. Patients consistently highlight the thoroughness of their examinations, noting that the team takes the time to break down complex health puzzles piece by piece. This investigative approach allows for tailored support regarding weight loss, gut health, and overall vitality, ensuring that solutions are designed to last rather than offering quick, temporary fixes.
Expert Chiropractic Care with Gentle Techniques
The clinic is highly regarded for its chiropractic services, particularly those led by Dr. Josh Stehmeier. Patients frequently praise the gentle nature of the treatments, which avoid the forceful "cracking" often associated with traditional adjustments. The use of specialized methods such as NUCCA chiropractic care and Active Release Technique (ART) has been credited by many for resolving chronic issues, including migraines, sciatica, and back pain. Reviewers often describe these treatments as "life-changing," with long-term sufferers finding significant relief where other therapies had failed.
Comprehensive Support and Personalized Plans
Beyond chiropractic adjustments, the clinic offers a diverse range of services designed to promote long-term health. Patients benefit from prolotherapy for structural support, acupuncture for pain management, and intravenous vitamin therapies to boost immunity and energy. The team is commended for creating manageable treatment plans that gradually reduce the frequency of visits, empowering patients with home exercises and education to maintain their progress independently.
A Warm and Professional Patient Experience
Reviews consistently emphasize the welcoming atmosphere at Kelowna Wellness Clinic. From the front desk staff to the practitioners, the team is described as friendly, compassionate, and efficient. Patients appreciate that appointments are never rushed, allowing for detailed explanations of options and ensuring comfort throughout the process. This personable care has fostered strong relationships, with many families becoming loyal patients over several years, valuing the clinic’s commitment to genuine well-being over commercial pressure.

Fantastic experience: I’ve had a great experience with Dr. Barlow and Kelowna Wellness. I originally saw him for prolotherapy on my back. I had limited mobility due to inflammation and tightness in my lower back. I really appreciated how much time he took to understand what was bothering me, explain the treatment, and answer my questions. I was nervous at first but he reassured the whole time. I went back 2 additional times for prolo. Recently, I've visited him for iron replacement. I've delt with extremely low iron most of my life, but had been feeling EXTRA low on energy lately. After only 1 treatment, I definitely noticed an increase in my energy and focus! I was so focused accomplishing work a few evenings later, I didn't realize it was 2am! What I appreciate most about Dr. Barlow is that I never feel rushed. He takes the time to listen, explain your options, and make sure you’re comfortable with the plan. From the moment I am greeted at the front door by Crystal to the end when Dr. Barlow walks you to the front, the care and attention has made me feel more like family then a patient in his office. I’ve had a very positive experience with both treatments and would definitely recommend Dr. Barlow and Kelowna Wellness!
Fantastic experience: I think that atleast if they’re trying PATCH ADAMS style treatment trying to get away from big companies trying to run up profits off of dying individuals CHILDREN??? I say coodos Atleast they’re trying Unless this is a different clinic though googles rarely wrong Thnx for trying yall Sad you ran into a female system blockade
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience. Super friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Will definitely come back!
Fantastic experience: Dr Barlow is the best been seeing him off and on for years. Acupuncture the best. Other issues he's on top off top service to heal
Fantastic experience: I have chronic hip pain which comes and goes. I have been going to Dr. Josh Steimeier whenever it flares up, since 2014. His treatments have been successful every time. And I thought I was not a fan of chiropractors.... I highly recommend Dr. Josh!
Thanks so much Jan for the kind words, glad I can help
Fantastic experience: I had serious migraines for 3+ years and had tried everything under the sun to make them go away... Nothing worked until I went to Josh at the Wellness Clinic, and in just 5 weeks, rather than getting migraines 3 times a week, now I only get them a few times a month! Which is huge. At first I was skeptical about the whole 'Nucca' chiro practice, but can't believe how helpful it was for my headaches. THANK YOU JOSH!! Seriously a game changer in my day to day life. You rock!!
Hey, thanks so much Danae, glad to be able to help
Fantastic experience: Dr. Josh is the greatest, most great, and most of all... he's great! You'll leave him feeling great. He fixed my knee, I thought I'd never run again. He also helped with my back pain. Which is really, really great!
Hey Sheri, thanks for the kind words. I think your great as well
Fantastic experience: Kelowna Wellness Clinic is the real deal! Dr. Joshua Stehmeier has gone above and beyond in helping me with my recovery from a car accident. Professional and personal, he has the knowledge and skill set to get you back on your feet and out of pain! I highly recommend anyone with back issues/ injuries to visit here ! Thanks Josh!
Hey Jereme! Thanks for the kind words. Glad you are feeling better
Fantastic experience: I have dealt with Adam and Dr. Barlow for over a year now and they are both excellent to deal with and are knowledgeable. Staff is nice. They have a really nice set up.
Fantastic experience: I have had a few Nucca adjustments done by the Chiropractor Dr. Josh Stehmeier and have really felt the difference! I have had a nagging neck pain for years and can honestly say it feels so much better. I like how this was done without any "cracking" as I don't like that being done to my neck haha! 10 out of 10 would recommend!
Hey thanks Esther for the kind words. Glad I can help
Fantastic experience: I have gone to Josh since he first opened his office. His treatments always relieve any discomfort; his professional and compassionate approach and great sense of humour make each visit a pleasure.
Thanks Norma! Always a pleasure to see you and Rick when you come up
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Dr. Stehmeier at Kelowna Wellness Clinic. The chiropractic treatments have helped my neck & back stiffness & relieved the pain. Excellent neck adjustments allowing easier freedom of movement. Thank you!
Thanks Patti for kind review!
Fantastic experience: Dr Stehmeier is a great practitioner, he took time to listen to me in order to figure out what was wrong, and he went out of his way to help me.
Hey thanks Brendon ! Always happy to help
Fantastic experience: Would recommend highly! Does not rush the appointment. My body really responds well to ART and NUCCA.
Thanks so much Jennifer for the review. I am glad I can help you and Tom stay active and healthy
Fantastic experience: I first came to Dr. Josh after dealing with migraines for 9 years and unsure of what step to take next. I have been in the care of a chiropractor my entire life and had never heard of NUCCA chiropractic until a friend suggested it. When I saw Dr. Josh's video on headaches I booked an appointment and never looked back! My every day of suffering with migraines/pending migraines has been transformed because of the method he specializes in. In addition a hip issue I have had sincr a teenager has disappeared. Dr. Josh has a wonderful way with his patients, is careful to listen to your concerns and knowledgeable in his field. I would highly recommend him not only for migraines but for any aches and pains. 10 stars if there was an option!
Thanks Dana! your awesome, glad I can help!
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience, would highly recommend :)
Thanks Tomasz!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Josh is an excellent chiropractor! I have been a patient for over six years and I enjoy living without pain. I would recommend him to anyone.
Thanks Rebecca, its a pleasure knowing you and your family.
Fantastic experience: I had a bad concussion from a skiing accident. I tried a previous Chiropractor but was not interested in their approach as I had to bring my husband to meet with a group of people and have pizza in order to get my results! Dr Stehmeier is very straightforward and was very helpful in alleviating my ongoing headaches. As well as his Chiropractic treatment, Josh is very good at soft tissue manipulation for pain relief thus I get double the help for the price of one service. Dr Stehmeier also has a very good family plan option. He is very approachable, helpful and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Dr Stehmeier!
Thanks Paulette!
Fantastic experience: I have been attending this clinic - Dr Josh in particular - for the past month!. I had issues with my knee and lower back .... but didn't realize my main issue was my neck! Dr Josh not only repaired my issues through A.R.T. and Nucca, he also took the time to carefully explain my issues and what he was doing to help me! I now am completely pain free and plan on staying this way by following the exercises he recommended. I strongly recommend others with pain issues to make an appointment and visit Dr Josh! The office staff are wonderful too!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Josh at the Kelowna Wellness Clinic. He set out a plan of therapy and it has helped my neck pain and daily headaches become a non issue. Josh is very friendly, efficient and has obvious skill and confidence from years of experience. I am very happy with my decision to give him a chance!
Fantastic experience: I don't usually go to chiropractors but a couple years ago I had hurt my back. I could barely move and no amount of pain medication made any difference. After a week of no improvement I went to see Josh for help. He assessed the situation and was able to make an adjustment. My back instantly felt much better and I could tell that I was on the path to recovery. Two weeks later my back had fully healed and I was fully functional again. I highly recommend Josh and his Wellness Clinic.
Fantastic experience: I was very skeptical of chiropractors but my neck had been painful off and on for over a year. In only one month and 4 visits later, I can't believe I waited so long. My neck is so much better!! Josh is the best and I am a believer.
Fantastic experience: Josh is the best. He does amazing work, and doesn't constantly need to have you back for appointments weekly/monthly as some chiropractors seem to do. I go see him every 4-6 months when I throw my back out and he fixes me up in minutes. He's a super nice guy too!
Fantastic experience: Always a pleasure to go see Josh. He is the first and only chiropractor I plan on ever seeing. I was reluctant to see a chiropractor as I always worried they would make it a regular visit requirement but with Josh I do not get that feeling at all. He is always kind and courteous. The visits never feel rushed and he has provided me with exercises to do at home so that I can further my progress. I would recommend Josh to anyone for chiropractic work without hesitation!
Fantastic experience: Great Expertise & Friendly Staff
Fantastic experience: Dr. Josh is silly enough to make my apprehensive kids feel comfortable, and professional that we feel our health is in good hands.
Fantastic experience: Have been seeing Josh for approximately 1 1/2 years and he has helped me tremendously when nothing else I've tried has. Thanks Josh!
Fantastic experience: Super great place! Dr. Josh is very knowledgeable, explains the why's and how's of the issues and his goal is to fix the problem and teach you how to prevent it. Definitely recommend seeing him.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and knowledgable team. Dr. Josh Stehmeier makes you feel comfortable and is very gentle. Always a good experience at the Kelowna Wellness clinic!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Stehmeier is fabulous! Very personable and caring. 4 of our 5 family members are his patients (still working on that 5th to try chiro)! His technique is very gentle and he uses active release stretching a lot with us. Not your stereotypical cracking doc... He's got great reception staff too!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Stehmeier is a most excellent chiropractor. His bedside manor is extremely friendly and open, and his technique is absolutely fantastic. I've been to several chiropractors in Kelowna prior to Dr. Stehmeier, but they've all had an air of snake-oil sales to them (I had one chiropractor tell my wife if she didn't follow his regime she could get cancer!). This couldn't be further from the truth with this practice. Dr. Stehmeier set me on a manageable plan that reduced in frequency as we went to the point that now I stop by for maintenance every few months. I would highly recommend Dr. Stehmeier to anyone!
Fantastic experience: I've been to a few chiropractors but Josh is by far the best! He is down to earth, friendly, and best of all he knows his stuff.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Stehmeier is an excellent chiropractor! He is very thorough in his examination and treatment and ensures that you are comfortable during your visit. He works with you to come up with an exercise plan that works for your body to maintain healthy movement for long-term mobility. He does not push for visits and will see you only as often as is required for your needs. I highly recommend Josh to all future clients.
Fantastic experience: Thanks to josh I have been walking pain free after suffering with back pain for over five years. I see Josh regularly and always feel great afterwards. MELISSA
Fantastic experience: Dr stehmeier is very thorough in his examinations and doesn't rush through appointments. He's always been able to help me with my back problems as well as giving me stretches and excerises to do at home. I feel I'm actually getting my money's worth when I see him.I would recommend him to anyone
Fantastic experience: Dr. Stehmeier's NUCCA treatments made the biggest difference in my post concussion headaches!
Fantastic experience: I had problems with sciatica and saw the physiotherapist for 6wks of treatment with no improvement. My friend suggested I see Dr Stehmeier, he did one treatment and the pain was no longer down my leg, and he gave me exercises to do at home and soon I was pain free. I'm not sure exactly what it is he does but it is magic and it works!
Fantastic experience: It's amazing at first I had a lot of headaches now I dont
Fantastic experience: Always a great experience! Josh does great work. He has helped lower my pain levels significantly. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Stehmeier treated my neck/back pain and gave me exercises to help keep the pain from recurring. Now I only get treated every few months. I highly recommend Josh for treatment.
Fantastic experience: Prior to finding the Kelowna Wellness Clinic, I had been seeing a chiropractor at least twice a month. Now I go for a tune-up every 4 months or so, and my daily neck/back pain is a distant memory. Even during pregnancy Dr. Stehmeier kept me in great shape. With such gentle adjustments, it's hard to believe how much of a difference he has made in my life!
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Dr. Josh Stehmeier. I have seen many other chiropractors over the years but none had been able to make a significant difference in my symptoms. Before seeing Dr. Josh my back used to go out a minimum of 3x a year and since beginning treatment at Kelowna Wellness Clinic I have not had a re-occurrence.
Fantastic experience: After a only a few visits with Dr. Stehmeier I felt results that I hadn't seen with other alternative treatments I'd tried. My head feels like it's on straight and my symptoms of thoracic outlet syndrome have been significantly reduced. I rarely experience tension headaches, which use to be a regular occurrence. I wish I had known about the gentle touch of NUCCA years ago!
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing both Dr, Barlow and RMT Stephanie Schmaultz. Both took the time to help me look at the root causes of the pains I was experiencing. Both Dr. Barlow and Stephanie never rushed to a diagnosis but took the time to look at everything breaking down piece by piece the puzzle that was my body. I recommend the Kelowna Wellness clinic to any who are having challenges and want answers.
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Dr Josh Stehmeier's services. He has been able to help me with several issues.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Josh is fantastic. He explains everything thoroughly and is skilled in many techniques and has helped relieved years of chronic hip and leg tension that I'm positive has made a difference with my restless legs. Highly recommend him.
Fantastic experience: I so appreciate the work that Dr. Stehmeier does. I had never heard of NUCCA before meeting him but it has been one of the best things that has happened in my life as it relates to pain relief. I appreciate the approach to health and wellness, the way in which the body work is done and the education and training that Dr. Stehmeier has in his "toolbox" of solutions for people who need pain relief. This is no average chiropractic fix. Kelowna Wellness Clinic is truly about making you feel better, moving you towards better health and giving you support to help yourself. Thank you! I know I am a healthier person because of the work you do.
Fantastic experience: My partner recommended Dr. Stehmeier to me after years of hearing me complain about sciatica and generally feeling "off" and I was a bit skeptical at first, having never tried NUCCA before. I was amazed at how such a gentle treatment could do so much good. I could touch my toes for the first time in years!
Fantastic experience: I had been suffering severe vertigo for more than 15 years and had tried everything possible to rectify it. A friend recommended a visit to Dr. Josh Stehmeier to see if I could find a solution. After a reasonable course of therapy and occasional follow up appointments, I feel great. I have not had an episode of vertigo for for the last year. There are no guarantees, but I am appreciative of Josh's kindness and assistance. I would highly recommend Dr. Josh Stehmeier at the Kelowna Wellness Clinic.
Fantastic experience: Honestly, since I've been coming to see both Dr. Stehmeier and Stephanie Schmaltz RMT, my body hasn't felt this good for years!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Stehmeier is the first chiropractor I've visited in the Okanagan, and after my treatment with him, he will be the only chiropractor I frequent here! He was very thorough in his examination and treatment and ensured that I was entirely comfortable during the whole treatment. He used a variety of techniques to get me back to fully functioning. I highly recommend Dr. Stehmeier to all future clients.
