Dr. Sarah Conroy earned her Bachelor of Arts in Biology and Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (’97). During her undergraduate program she studied tropical biology and ecology in Costa Rica. This experience changed her path from pre-medicine to a path more in tune with nature.
Chiropractic, the art and science of working naturally with the body to enhance function and prevent disease, was the ideal fit. She completed her Doctorate of Chiropractic in Portland, OR and graduated cum laude from the University of Western States (’02) with an emphasis in wellness, sports, and prenatal/pediatric chiropractic care.
Dr. Sarah spent 15 years practicing in Portland, OR where she owned West Hills Chiropractic located down the street from Nike. During this time of her life while living in Portland (before children) she completed medical mission trips to the Andes of Peru to bring healthcare to one of the most remote regions of the world.
In 2014, while attending a 300 hour yoga teacher training at the Bhaktishop on SE Division in Portland, OR , she gained profound insight that would change the direction of her life.
She and her husband decided to leave city life for Central Oregon, in order to raise their children closer to nature in a small town environment.
Since 2014, she’s lived in Camp Sherman, on the edge of the wilderness, with her husband Gavin and 2 daughters Mia and Ayla, dog Gillie and barn cat Luna. She can be found biking, hiking or skiing on the trails near her home daily.
Dr. Sarah Conroy has practiced in Sisters since 2016 and started Black Butte Chiropractic in 2019. She added the YOGA studio in 2022.
My Philosophy:
My Chiropractic philosophy is simple: movement is life and if humans aren’t moving properly they aren’t fully living. Chiropractic care helps improve movement by reducing stressors within the the brain and the nervous system. Stressors can be physical, mental, and chemical. Dr. Sarah works with patients to make simple lifestyle changes in order to reduce stressors and to promote optimal function and health.
Dr. Sarah has advanced training in Sacro-Occipital technique (Cranial work) for adults and children. She incorporates nutritional therapy, functional medicine, and gentle yoga based rehabilitation in her chiropractic practice.
