Meet Dr. Tanner Wilson
Choosing Chiropractic
Dr. Tanner Wilson followed in his father’s and grandfather’s chiropractic footsteps, but he didn’t exactly plan it that way. In his third year of college, he realized that although he loved being a collegiate track athlete, he needed to step away and figure out what to do with his life. Since he was good at (and enjoyed) biology and physiology classes and had an interest in nutrition and evidence-based supplementation, he gravitated towards healthcare. As it happened, chiropractic was one of the only professions that included both hands-on patient care and the nutrition component that Dr. Tanner was passionate about.
Like his father and grandfather before him, Dr. Tanner attended Cleveland University—Kansas City. He graduated with his Doctor of Chiropractic Degree, and he is also an Institute of Functional Medicine Certified Provider, having completed over 350 hours of coursework at the Cleveland Clinic.
Coming Home
After graduating, Dr. Tanner practiced in Chicago, where he was able to help many patients with his comprehensive approach to care. In 2022, he came back home to Wilson Chiropractic Clinic, to become the third generation of Wilson chiropractors. He loves being back in his hometown, where all of his family still resides, and providing holistic, evidence-based care to the community he loves.
Functional Medicine
Dr. Tanner got his interest in nutrition and lifestyle from his grandpa, who used to tell him to eat pineapple to improve his track performance, among other bits of wisdom. He loves augmenting chiropractic care with functional medicine, which includes diet and lifestyle modifications, stress reduction and science-based supplementation (nutraceuticals) to help address the underlying cause of patients’ symptoms.
