Dr. Tyler Wicks is the founder of Columbia Family Chiropractic and has been caring for patients in the Columbia community since 2007.

His approach is practical, individualized, and focused on helping patients move better, feel better, and understand what is actually driving their problem. Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach, Dr. Wicks combines chiropractic care, rehabilitation, soft-tissue techniques, and lifestyle guidance based on each patient’s goals and needs.

In addition to general chiropractic care, Dr. Wicks is a Certified Medical Examiner with the FMCSA National Registry and performs DOT physicals for commercial drivers. He also has a strong interest in preventive health, longevity, laboratory testing, genetics, and helping patients better understand their long-term health risks.

Outside the office, Tyler enjoys spending time with his wife and family, studying health, theology, economics, and probably reading far more research than any reasonable person should.

His goal is simple: give patients thoughtful, straightforward care, explain the “why” behind the recommendations, and help them make informed decisions about their health.
