About Dr. Purdy
For over 27 years, Dr. Lynda L. Purdy has provided holistic chiropractic care across Montana, treating the whole person and uncovering the root causes that other practitioners often overlook.
A Calling That Started Early
Dr. Purdy's interest in healthcare began when she was just eleven years old, after reading the book Karen. That story planted a seed of compassion and curiosity about the human body that would shape her entire career.
Years later, Dr. Purdy was involved in an auto accident that left her in significant pain. After a chiropractor helped her recover completely, she experienced firsthand the transformative power of chiropractic care. That experience solidified her path, and she enrolled at Western States College of Chiropractic with a clear sense of purpose.
She graduated with honors in 1999, earning both her Doctor of Chiropractic degree and a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology concurrently. On July 27, 1999, she opened her private practice and has been helping patients heal ever since.

Philosophy & Approach
Dr. Purdy is passionate about treating people holistically. She takes the time to listen, investigate, and find the true causes behind her patients' health concerns. Her approach goes well beyond addressing surface-level symptoms.
Combining proven chiropractic care with physiotherapy, nutrition counseling, and exercise rehabilitation, she builds personalized treatment plans designed to address each patient's unique situation from every angle.
Her goal is to treat patients so successfully that they eventually only need occasional tune-ups to maintain their health. Whenever possible, she aims to resolve conditions or achieve at least 50% improvement within six treatments.
“I am more thorough than most chiropractors. I refuse to accept that past treatment failures mean a patient can't get further help. There are always underlying factors worth exploring, and I make it my mission to find them.
What Sets Dr. Purdy Apart
A level of thoroughness and diagnostic intuition that has helped patients when others could not.
Diagnostic Thoroughness
Dr. Purdy has caught serious medical conditions that other providers missed entirely, including congestive heart failure, abdominal aortic aneurysm, brain bleeds, brain tumors, and thyroid cancer. Her careful, whole-body evaluation process means nothing gets overlooked.
When a patient comes to her after being told there is nothing more that can be done, she sees that as a starting point for deeper investigation. She believes every person deserves a practitioner willing to look further.
Multiple Healing Modalities
Rather than relying on a single technique, Dr. Purdy draws from a wide range of treatment methods. She combines traditional chiropractic adjustments with Nasal Specific and Endonasal techniques, physiotherapy, nutritional support, and exercise rehabilitation to give patients the most comprehensive care possible.
She also integrates intuitive and energy healing into her practice, recognizing that true health involves mind, body, and spirit working together.
Whole-Person Healing
Many practitioners focus on individual symptoms in isolation. Dr. Purdy takes a different approach by examining the full picture of each patient's health, lifestyle, and history. She understands that pain in one area often has roots elsewhere, and she follows those connections until the real cause is found.
With over 160 hours of nutrition education on top of her chiropractic training, she brings a truly comprehensive perspective to every patient's care plan, helping people build lasting health rather than simply managing discomfort.
