Dr. Tim Chrisman graduated from Parker College of Chiropractic in 2004. Since then he has attained certifications and extensive post-doctoral training in clinical kinesiology, restorative endocrinology, clinical nutrition, functional diagnostics and internal disorders. He has successfully worked with a wide range of patients from elite athletes to those suffering with chronic disease and has a passion for helping his patients achieve the highest level of performance possible. He has no greater joy than to see someone’s life transformed who previously had lost hope. He has spoken to numerous groups, churches and organizations in the Dallas metroplex and is available and prepared to speak on many health topics.
Dr. Chrisman did his undergraduate work in piano and voice at Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas (1994) and completed a Master of Music in Piano at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (2001). After finishing his bachelor’s degree, he spent three years doing work in Christian missions and studying in Florence, Italy, attaining native fluency in Italian. The radical switch from music and the arts to chiropractic was actually a natural one. Dr. Tim developed neurological problems in his right hand because of spinal issues from a bad car accident years before. He lost a lot of muscle control, and playing music at the difficult level he had achieved became practically impossible. After much searching, he finally found Chiropractic. Maximizing the integrity of his nervous system through adjustments and corrective spinal care has allowed him to continue to play at a high level of skill and he still plays frequently and does concerts. Because of his own healing, he decided to attend chiropractic school in 1998, become a doctor himself and spread the good news that chiropractic saves lives.
Dr. Chrisman grew up in Decatur, IL. In 1979 his father died from complications of type I Diabetes. A short time later, his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and battled for nine years, passing in 1987. He has also lost several other family members to chronic disease before their time. These experiences have had a life changing effect. Most of all, they have changed the way Dr. Chrisman views health and healing. A major focus at Dallas Whole Health is to educate patients on what health really is and give them the tools they need to restore, preserve and maintain it. He teaches his patients that it is much easier to keep the health you have than to get it back and that every disease known to man is as a result of interference somewhere in the nervous system. It is only by ridding the body of this interference that one can achieve true health.
