ABOUT US

Dr. Tannaz opened Advanced Chiropractic with one vision in mind: to create the kind of office where patients never feel rushed, never feel like just a number, and always receive care tailored to their unique needs. Her goal has always been simple—to help every patient leave feeling better than when they walked through the door.

From her early years studying athletic training and sports medicine to becoming a chiropractor, Dr. Tannaz has always been passionate about helping people move, heal, and live healthier lives. She began her career with a focus on sports chiropractic and treating athletes, but over the years, her passion naturally expanded to include women’s health, pregnancy and postpartum care, acupuncture, facial acupuncture, and whole-body wellness.

Through years of education and clinical experience, Dr. Tannaz has learned that the most effective care rarely comes from just one treatment. She believes that combining chiropractic care, dry needling, and massage therapy can provide powerful results for relieving pain, restoring movement, and supporting the body’s natural healing process.

She also believes that movement is medicine. That’s why she takes the time to educate every patient about the importance of proper movement, strength, mobility, and body awareness as essential parts of long-term health and wellness.

Today, Dr. Tannaz combines evidence-based care with a personalized approach to create treatment plans that fit each patient’s lifestyle, needs, and goals. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, preparing for motherhood, or simply looking to feel your best, Dr. Tannaz and her team are committed to helping you move with confidence and live a healthier, more active life.

She looks forward to welcoming you to Advanced Chiropractic and helping you feel your very best.
