Meet the Chiropractors at Innate Wellness
Dr. Chris Talley
Dr. Chris Talley is a dedicated chiropractor who is devoted to improving the health and well-being of others. Born and raised in the beautiful hills of east Tennessee, Dr. Talley learned the value of hard work, perseverance, and community at a young age. He excelled in both football and baseball at Alcoa High School, and continued his football career at Rhodes College, demonstrating his commitment to teamwork and excellence.
Before he became the leader at Innate Wellness, Dr. Talley was a new college graduate working as a front desk clerk at a hotel in Memphis, Tennessee. One day, he met a guest who went by “Dr. Matt.”
When Dr. Talley found out that Dr. Matt was in chiropractic care, he thought to himself, “Oh, I didn’t know chiropractors were doctors,” Dr. Talley says now with a laugh. But the idea of solving people’s needs through holistic wellness and chiropractic care appealed to Dr. Talley, so he soon enrolled at Life University in Marietta, Georgia. It was this chance meeting that launched Dr. Talley onto his new path, as if it was always meant to be.
