About Dr. Orwick & Staff

Lisa Orwick has always been health conscious. She became a vegetarian and began practicing Kundalini yoga at the age of 16. At 17 she was involved in a motorcycle accident that could have left her severely impaired had it not been for the treatment of a chiropractor.

In 1992 Lisa enrolled at Parker Chiropractic College in Dallas Texas.  In 1996 after reaching the top of her graduating class she realized her dream of establishing a place of healing by opening Natural Life Chiropractic clinic in Dallas Texas.

After 4 years of healing and building a strong and loyal clientele, Dr. Orwick listened to the call to simplify her life by moving to the beautiful slower paced environment of Tucson, Arizona. In January 2001 she re-opened Natural Life Chiropractic in a beautifully renovated and charming 1935 house.
