About Us

Our Story

Fortin Chiropractic Clinic, located in the Uptown Hamel area of the City of Medina, is owned and operated by Dr. Brenda Fortin. She opened her current practice in August 2004 and has been serving patients since 2001.

Over the years, the clinic has grown into a trusted, family‑centered practice known for exceptional care, a welcoming atmosphere, and long‑standing community involvement.

We are honored to have been recognized as a Best Chiropractic Office by Minnesota Monthly for six consecutive years, reflecting our commitment to high‑quality care and the trust our community places in us.

A Legacy Rooted in Hamel

The Hamel community has been an important part of the Fortin family’s history for more than a century. Across four generations, the family has operated several Hamel‑based businesses, including:

  • Fortin Consulting
  • Hamel Electric
  • Fortin Hardware Store (est. 1919 — a local landmark)

This deep history makes Hamel not just our location, but our family’s home.

Directly behind our clinic sits one of the most meaningful landmarks in the community: the Paul Fortin Memorial Field, named in honor of Jason’s grandfather. Jason — Dr. Brenda Fortin’s husband — grew up in this community, and the field stands as a tribute to the Fortin family’s long‑standing presence, service, and legacy in Hamel. Having the field just steps away is a daily reminder of the generations of connection that continue to shape our commitment to this community.

With such strong roots, we are passionate about serving the families who live here and carrying forward a legacy built on integrity, hard work, and community involvement.

Our Philosophy

At Fortin Chiropractic Clinic, we believe in:

  • Gentle, effective chiropractic care for all ages
  • Treating each patient as a whole person
  • Taking time to listen and understand your needs
  • Providing honest, personalized recommendations
  • Supporting long‑term health and wellness
  • Creating a warm, small‑town atmosphere where patients feel at home

Patients often tell us that what sets us apart is how deeply we care — and how much time we take to help them feel better and stay well.

Our Providers

Our clinic is proud to have two chiropractors — both members of the Fortin family — providing care to our community. As a family with four generations rooted in Hamel, our doctors share the same commitment to patient‑centered, family‑focused wellness. Each brings unique strengths, advanced training, and a genuine passion for serving the west metro.
