Chiropractor
Kevin O'Brien, D.C.
I’ve always been passionate about a career in health care and committed from a young age to making a difference in people’s lives. Early on, I wasn’t sure which path within the healthcare field was the right fit for me. I began my undergraduate studies on a pre-med track, but after thoughtful conversations with a physician who’s also a close family friend, I started to explore other options.
My uncle, a dentist, encouraged me to consider his profession, and I even completed a summer research project at the University of Texas Dental School. However, I soon realized dentistry didn’t align with my interests or aspirations.
It wasn’t until 1998 that I stepped into a chiropractic office for the first time. During that visit to a clinic in Austin, Texas, I truly discovered what chiropractic care was all about. I was deeply inspired by the meaningful connections chiropractors build with their patients and the profound impact their care can have on someone’s quality of life. Within minutes, I knew this was the path I wanted to follow to help others.
A Chiropractic Education
I began my higher education journey by earning a degree in Biology from the University of Texas at Austin. Driven by a strong desire to help others, I went on to earn my Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Texas Chiropractic College, graduating with Magna Cum Laude honors. After gaining valuable experience working alongside another chiropractor, I opened my own practice in 2003.
My Philosophy
My approach to practice is simple and flexible: we're here to help you feel your best. We focus on identifying and addressing the root of the issue. We focus on providing short-term mainstream care to get you feeling your best quickly. From there, we support maintaining your health on a schedule that works for you. We take the time to explain everything up front, empowering you to make informed decisions that lead to a healthier, more active lifestyle and help you stay there.
On a Personal Note…
I met my wife, Meredith, while attending the University of Texas at Austin, and we were married in 1998. After graduation, we moved to Houston and settled in the Kingwood/Atascocita area in 1999 as I completed chiropractic school. We’re proud parents of two wonderful young adult daughters, Madeline and Kathryn.
Outside of work, I spend most of my free time with my family.
Working in the chiropractic field has also deepened my appreciation for overall wellness. Regular exercise, weight training, and proper nutrition play a key role in helping me maintain both physical and mental balance in my life.
Chiropractor
Ellen Belk, D.C.
Dr. Belk grew up in a small town in Mississippi where she was involved in gymnastics, cheerleading, dance, baton twirling and track throughout high school.
She grew up always wanting to pursue a medical degree but was never quite sure which avenue she wanted to go. While in high school, she discovered a new interest in physics from a mechanical standpoint. She initially pursued engineering due to her interest in physics but soon found out in her freshman year of college, engineering was not her calling.
She decided the best way to combine physics/mechanics and medical would be to pursue Chiropractic and went on to Mississippi State University to receive her bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences with a Pre-Medical focus in 2015.
She then moved to Pasadena, Texas to begin Chiropractic School. She received her Doctorate from Texas Chiropractic College in December of 2018 and soon thereafter began her career at n8 massage with Dr. O’Brien and staff in January of 2019.
Her mission in chiropractic is not just to treat patients and their ailments, but to educate them on how to help themselves at home to prevent further injury and enjoy their lives with less pain and more movement. Her passion is a focus in prenatal and postpartum chiropractic and rehab as well as pediatrics.
When she is not in the office, she spends a lot of time with her daughter and family in the area as well as at her church, learning piano, and likes to play ultimate frisbee and go out Texas two-stepping with friends.
