Dr. Sasha Zevenhuizen is the Owner/Operator of Birchcove Chiropractic. She is a Halifax native that grew up training in the competitive canoe/kayak and swimming worlds. Currently, she is an active trail ultra marathon runner and volunteers her time organizing the women’s trail running group within HRM. She can often be found out in the wilderness, adventuring with her son and dog Maverick.

Dr. Sasha’s practice encompasses chiropractic care for athletes, families, pediatrics, pregnant/post natal and office workers. She has a passion for treating athletes of all ages (runners in particular), children and individuals with TMJ (temporal-mandibular joint) associated discomfort. Assessments and treatment plans are tailored to the needs of each individual patient and workplace ergonomics are also typically reviewed. She strives to empower and educate her patients to take their health care into their own hands. Patient education is always in the forefront as a way to optimize health and wellness.

Dr. Sasha graduated from Dalhousie University in 2006, with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. During her time at Dalhousie, she was an athletic trainer with the Dalhousie varsity swim team which kindled her interests in the fields of sport injury rehabilitation and myofascial work. In 2011, she graduated from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College and moved back to Halifax to establish her practice. Over the years, she has gained experiences in a variety of locations working in partnership with multidisciplinary healthcare teams and working with sports teams. Her personal goal has always been to achieve and maintain the best possible health; this same goal for her patients. As an advocate of both wellness care and injury prevention, she uses a diversified chiropractic approach, which includes a focus on the spine and extremities as well as the implementation of myofacial release and rehabilitation exercises. She is certified in the use of Graston, cupping and Kinesiotape techniques to support muscular, postural and joint injuries.
