Erena Lanza Opens Bridgeville Chiropractic Office Dr. Erena Lanza (USCHS 2010) has lived in many states over the past 12 years but has finally found her way back to Pittsburgh. After living most recently in Idaho, Dr. Lanza and her husband, Dr. Kynan Tarnowski, made the cross-country drive to plant their roots in Upper St. Clair. Since arriving in July of 2021, they have started their own chiropractic office in Bridgeville, a first of its kind combined Gonstead and Orthospinology Upper Cervical Practice. The couple welcomed a sweet baby girl into the world in March 2022. While in high school, Dr. Lanza suffered a few concussions that left her with debilitating migraines and attention problems. It was then that she began seeing a chiropractor. Sadly, general chiropractic didn’t help much; but she had heard of a specific upper cervical focused form of chiroDr. Erena Lanza practic called orthospinology. Within a few adjustments by a chiropractic orthospinologist, Dr. Lanza’s migraines disappeared, and her attention was back to pre-concussion status. It was then that Dr. Lanza shifted her focus to becoming an Orthospinologist herself. She opened her first solo practice in Idaho in 2020 and in 2021 was voted in as a board member for the Society of Chiropractic Orthospinology. Now back in Pittsburgh, Drs. Lanza and Tarnowski combined their two specific chiropractic techniques into one office, Origins Chiropractic and Wellness, where patients with a variety of aliments can receive unique, specialized care to reach their health goals. Origins Chiropractic and Wellness is a family practice where people of all ages are welcome. Dr. Lanza is excited to be back in her hometown offering the Dr. Kynan Tarnowski and Dr. Erena Lanza in their new best possible care to her local community and neighbors. chiropractic office.
