Changing Lives and Connecting with Heart
Proud to have spent 15 years working with all you beautiful humans who want to live their best life! We're results oriented, and believe change is possible in ways unimaginable.
I worked with Tyler on multiple occasions over the course of a decade. He helped me rehab through a total hip replacement, then kidney removal from cancer some years later, and again in care through a metastasized lung tumor and aggressive immunotherapies that were devastating for my body. He was always impeccable in care, bringing heart into the treatment space, and truly helped me move forward in life through these challenges. I feel grateful to have found him!

I got WRECKED in a multi-car accident in 2023 and went from an active 24 year old in construction work to having trouble getting out of bed and mostly using a cane to get around. Disk herniations, rotator cuff issues on one side, unexplained belly pains, headaches, pain everywhere basically. I saw MD's, a chiropractor, and had massage treatments and was referred to Tyler after two months without improvements. I highly recommend him, I really started seeing changes after I had him as a central part of my care team.

I have been treated by Dr. Tyler for over a decade for various health issues…that alone should give his current and future patients the comfort and peace of mind regarding his professionalism.
My treatments were a whole variety depending on the issue.…At times for lower back pain, post surgical treatment, digestive tract, etc.
After being diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis he prescribed herbs, another time he helped with speeding the healing process of broken ribs and arm. My last treatments eased the effects of chemo and radiation therapy.
With his help, I’ve been cancer free for almost 7 years.
Types of therapies employed were; Acupuncture, Cupping, Herbs, Supplements and Moxibustion.
I think highly of his professionalism and care!
