Chiropractor
Dr. Tanis J. Gehrke
"Dr. Tanis, my partner/ daughter is no longer with us. We lost her to cancer on July 26, 2021. Her image remains on our website to recognize her contribution to our new health care facility. The dreams & actualization that we shared together with her mom to create Mountain Health and the wonderful professional folks who have joined us will be further augmented when her daughter, our grand-daughter Teneal completes her chiropractic education and joins us in the fall of 2023."

It was grade 6 when I decided I liked my father's office so much I was going to do whatever it was he did in there. Driving off to college I sure hoped my gut feeling was right. I graduated from Palmer West Chiropractic College in Sunnyvale , California in 1991.
Every working day in our office I deeply value the relationship and opportunity to share musculoskeletal healthcare, lifestyle and wellness with our patients. I’ve loved ,”igniting the spark“ for our youth to find the journey of physical literacy. I’ve received and learned so much more than the time I’ve ever given during these sessions and camps.
We live in an outstanding community with the resources and support to create anything within our dreams. Family is my balance. I share so much gratitude and love in their understanding and emotional support to do all I am able to.
I warmly welcome you through our front doors to let our health team care for you!
Chiropractor
Dr. Richard Gehrke
I have a lot of things to be grateful for. Grateful for the opportunity of providing 55 years of chiropractic service to my community. Grateful to have been able to practice these past few years in a new office. That new office being the culmination of 25 years of dreaming with my chiropractic partner / daughter Tanis and my matrimonial sidekick Jan. Grateful for the few months Dr. Tanis got to work out of our new digs before we lost her to cancer.
Our vision had always focused on creating a more inclusive health care team and it has been personally rewarding to work with our physiotherapy and massage therapy partners under one roof. Even more gratifying has been the addition of a new chiropractic partner, Dr. Teneal Mofford, Tanis's daughter, my grand-daughter, to our team.
Our doors are always open to new patients and of course we are most appreciative of our regular & long term patients for their support. We look forward to being a part of optimizing your health potential.
Chiropractor
Dr. Teneal Mofford
Hello, I am Dr. Teneal!
I am lucky enough to have been born and raised in the wonderful town of Rocky Mountain House. I have always appreciated the people that live here and the community that we are all a part of. I am so excited to be able to provide chiropractic care in this community.
Like my mom, the late Dr. Tanis Gehrke, I knew from a young age that I wanted to be a chiropractor and that I wanted to help people the way that my mom and grandfather did. I always knew that I was on the right path, doing what I needed to do to become a chiropractor. I graduated from Palmer West Chiropractic College in September of 2023 and have been a team member at Mountain Health since November of 2023! In the short time that I have been in the office I have loved getting to know our patients, providing care to our patients, and developing relationships with other health care professionals in the community to give our patients the best possible care.
I am welcoming to all patients, any age! I have a special interest working with the pre-natal, post-natal and pediatric populations and will continue my education in this specialty throughout my career. I enjoy the time I get to spend with patients working through individual treatment plans to allow for the achievement optimal health and wellbeing.

I am surrounded by a wonderful team at Mountain Health and look forward to welcoming all with arms wide open.
