Our Staff
Below are the passionate faces that make up the Momentum Valley Chiropractic family,
Dr. Tye
Owner of the firm, Dr. Tye Bratvold, has been in the profession for over 20 years and believes that, while important, premier chiropractic care is more than just providing spinal alignments. “We are focused on the whole body: nutrition, exercise, mindset, toxins, sleep,” says Tye. “We care about it all.”
He chose Momentum as the new name because it is defined as “the quantity of motion of a moving body” and “the impetus gained by a moving object.” Both definitions speak to the ultimate goal of the firm—to center care plans and partnerships around the whole body—not just the spine.
Unique to his firm, Dr. Tye also holds educational events to educate and explain Momentum’s philosophy and the importance of whole body care as it relates to chiropractic care.
Angelena
At the age of seventeen, Chiropractic care found and fixed what traditional medicine could not for Angelena. From that day forward, her passion to help people through Chiropractic was born, and off to medical school she went. The more she learned, the more she knew that chiropractic care was what she wanted to do. Angelena loves being able to work in a field where patients are consistently saying to her, "It's a miracle! I can't believe it!" ...because she knows exactly what they're talking about! While the field of medicine is diagnostic and involves investigation, analysis, and problem solving, when the business day ends, she finds refreshment in creativity. She loves being knee-deep in design, where imagination rules, the vision is your road map and originality shines. Happy, healthy and joyfully serving others is what Angelena is all about!
Rebecca
Rebecca is one of the lovely, friendly faces you’ll see when you walk into the Momentum Chiropractic clinic. She loves working with people and will help you have the best possible experience — from the first time you walk in the door, to each time you make an appointment with us. She can’t wait to see how she can help you to function at your very best!
Wendi
Wendi has always had a passion for fitness, using it to enhance her life with a holistic approach. She grew up playing various sports, and as an adult chased an adrenaline rush staying active with cycling, kick boxing, sky diving- you name it! Ten years ago, Wendi noticed her hands and fingers going numb during activities, putting limitations on work and activities she enjoyed. Her husband, who received chiropractic care throughout his military career, suggested she see a local chiropractor. Reluctantly, she scheduled an appointment at Momentum and learned she had a limited nerve supply in her arms and hands due to a loss of curve in her neck. Determined to be the healthiest version of herself, she started care with Dr. Tye and the Momentum team. At Momentum, you quickly learn how powerful and important it is to have a healthy nervous system. The experience was life changing, and something she knew she could not keep to herself. She is passionate about sharing the body’s natural ability to heal itself through removing interference. She loves helping people through education, motivation and accountability.
Sarah
Born and raised in Washington, Sarah’s family is the fourth generation to live in the Puyallup Valley. She is passionate about helping others on their journey to natural health, and has a keen interest in the nervous system and brain development. In her spare time, she enjoys bike rides with her family, game nights and trips to the ocean.
Teri
Teri has been a chiropractic assistant at Momentum for the last five years. After a car accident 20 years ago, Teri knew there was a way without surgery and shots for her body to heal. She began to understand that chiropractic care could be the key to functioning at her highest potential. Transitioning from the retail world to chiropractic, she’s had great opportunities in learning the importance of a proactive lifestyle. With help from Dr. Tye and the team, she has become a highly competent chiropractic assistant. Teri loves exploring and being adventurous – From jumping out of planes to hiking in the woods, chiropractic keeps her well adjusted!
