Comprehensive Care for Lasting Pain Relief
Most people experiencing chronic pain have tried multiple approaches without achieving lasting relief. Standard adjustments, physical therapy, pain management — each providing temporary improvement, but the underlying problem persists.
Our approach is different. We identify the root cause and address it with spinal adjustments to restore alignment, plus corrective exercise, clinical Pilates, therapeutic massage, and other services designed to maintain the results. With over 30 years treating professional athletes and weekend warriors, I've developed protocols based on what actually works.
Why Standard Treatment Falls Short
Traditional chiropractic care focuses on spinal adjustment for symptomatic relief. It can reduce immediate pain, but often fails to address the underlying biomechanical dysfunction. Without correcting these issues, patients experience recurring episodes.
Most musculoskeletal pain has multiple contributing factors. Lower back pain often stems from core weakness. Shoulder dysfunction from postural compensation. Sciatica from chronic biomechanical imbalance.
Adjustments address the immediate restriction. They don't correct the muscle imbalances, postural dysfunction, or movement patterns that created the problem. This is where traditional treatment stops — and where our approach begins.
The Integrated Wellness Approach
Your body functions as an integrated system. When treatment addresses only one component, the system pulls you back toward dysfunction. We customize your plan based on what your body actually needs.
Chiropractic Care
Precise, gentle adjustments to restore joint mechanics and spinal alignment. Evidence-based and tailored to each patient.
Sports Injury Treatment
From golf-specific injuries to general athletic trauma. TPI-certified protocols for golfers. Real-world experience with professional athletes.
Corrective Exercise & Training
Targeted strength training using the Kinesis Wall functional training system to rebuild movement patterns and strengthen supporting muscles.
Clinical Pilates
Medical-grade Pilates for rehabilitation and postural correction. Private studio with Cadillac, Reformer, and Barrel equipment.
Massage & Stretch Therapy
Deep tissue work to release muscle and fascia restrictions. Assisted stretching to restore mobility and range of motion.
We customize your treatment plan based on your specific needs — using only the services that deliver the best results for your condition.

He has handled a variety of sports injuries for me with great success. His clinic is first class, as is Dr. Tanner!Posted on Google Harold DahlstromTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Doc Glen has helped my entire family for over 17 years. I even trusted him to adjust our 10yo daughter he helped her immensely. I've had other chiropractors hurt me because they did not have the skills to get me in the correct position for the adjustment and just tried to "force it", but Glen takes the time to make sure everything is right before performing the adjustment. He is easy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable and welcome.Posted on Google L CarterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I wish all doctors were as caring and compassionate.Posted on Google Ron ColletteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been going to Dr. Glen for about 5 years. I am always impressed with his diagnostic skills. It is not the same "Cookie-Cutter" treatment each time. He spends the time to listen and understand the issue. The he devises a unique method to best address the issue. Dr. Glen successfully treated my "chronic" issues, so I only need a regular check up about twice year....just like the dentist.Posted on Google Yulia GuerreroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Dr. Glen Tanner for his excellent care with my chronic shoulder dislocation. He takes the time to listen and explains everything clearly. Since starting treatment, I’ve noticed real improvement in my shoulder stability and overall comfort. He’s knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely caring. Also, the Pilates studio next door is amazing and has been a perfect complement to my treatment—such a great combination for recovery and strength.Posted on Google Eliane DousieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

He consistently addressed my pains and maintenance alignment issues with professionalism and sincere care!! Thank you Glen!!!❤️Posted on Google Dionne LewisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Glen Tanner has been a huge medical game changer for me and my physical well being. I’ve suffered with major lower back pain and sciatic nerve disorder. With spinal decompression, adjustment, stretching and lifestyle education Dr. Glen has given me my “younger self” back. I can’t thank you enough!!Posted on Google Otis XTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was referred to Dr. Glen Tanner about 10 years ago by my neighbor. I went to his office and described my problem to Dr. Tanner, and he took me next door to the x-ray provider. At the same appointment he determined my problem area and treated me. I experienced immediate relief. I have used him as needed over the years, and always experienced immediate relief. Dr. Tanner is competent, well-trained and experienced. When needed, Dr. Tanner applied spinal decompression to enhance further relief to my condition. OD
