Providing generational care
The Village Chiro was founded in 1984 by Dr Todd Newfield & Dr. Greg Gellert. Their vision was to establish a relationship based chiropractic office aimed at helping people by getting to know them and their health goals in order to individualize each person's unique needs. This has stayed true through the almost 40 years in practice as the second generation of docs have joined the practice. Our team takes a collaborative approach with our patients to ensure patient centered care. It takes a village!

Dr. Greg
Dr. Greg, one of the original docs, is the co-founder of the Village and has been practicing in Red Deer since our inception in 1984. He moved to Red Deer after completing his studies in Toronto and started the Village with his brother-in-law, Dr. Todd. His passion for hockey is clear to anyone who knows him (Go Oilers), and he was the one who spearheaded out elite sports division 20 years ago when he took on the role of the chiropractor for the Red Deer Rebels.

Dr. Kit
Dr. Kit started with The Village over 15 years ago. The son of one of the original docs, Dr. Todd, his chiropractic journey started long before then. Completing his studies in Georgia as well, Dr. Kit moved home with his wife to start a family and join The Village. When he’s not in the office serving our practice members, you can probably find him at a hockey rink cheering on his kids. He is passionate about a healthy, active lifestyle for all stages of life, which is reflected through his care here at The Village with many of our young families and athletes.

Dr. Bill
Dr. Bill has been a long time fixture in The Village. Before he found his passion for chiropractic, he was a teacher and well known basketball and rugby coach in the community. Finishing his education in Georgia, he came back home to Red Deer. He has been with The Village for over 20 years. You can see him caring for anyone from a rough and tumble rugby athlete, to the whole family.
Massage Team
We’re lucky to have two amazing massage therapists as part of The Village. Breanna and Brad have been long term fixtures of our office and are integral part of our team. Muscle therapy can be an incredible way to alleviate stress, pain and help release muscle tension contributing to overall dysfunction in the body. From aches and pains, athletic injuries, cupping therapy to prenatal massage, Brad and Breanna have both a wealth of knowledge and experience when it comes to massage and muscle therapy.
