OUR MISSION

Our mission at Root Therapy & Wellness and Root Pediatrics in Bozeman, MT is to provide our patients with high quality, highly-collaborative, and holistic care aimed at addressing the root of issues rather than simply treating symptoms, providing patients with the care and tools to create meaningful change in their lives. Root Therapy & Wellness wants to help you convert your pain into a source of strength and resiliency, so you can live your life instead of just existing in it!

Root Pediatrics in Bozeman, MT works alongside children, their families, and the community to provide highly skilled and collaborative care in pursuit of developing independence in our patients’ lives.

Unfortunately, modern healthcare is often focused on treating symptoms rather than identifying and treating the root cause of a problem. Despite all of the advances in medicine, treatments often revolve around medication or surgery, focusing on symptoms, and often driving codependence. This is where Root Therapy & Wellness and Root Pediatrics are different!
