About Us
Dr. Tim St. Onge is your Chiropractor and Certified Acoustic Wave Provider. He is a graduate of Texas Tech University and Parker Chiropractic College where he earned numerous honors and was his class Salutatorian.
​
Dr. Tim is well versed with pain. When he was 17 he was hit by a truck while riding his bicycle which began a cycle of back and neck pain that was mostly constant for 8 years until he met a chiropractor who finally gave him relief without taking the dangerous drugs that we was taking to mask the pain.
​
In 2022, Dr. Tim discovered Acoustic Wave Therapy after suffering from a knee injury that he suffered while running a trail race the year before. He was introduced to Acoustic Wave Therapy at a conference, bought a machine and treated himself. Since recovering from that injury he has gone on to run 3 half marathons and a 50K trail race, something he didn't think his knees would allow him to do anymore.

He has 18 years of experience in his own practice previously serving the residents of Grand Junction, Colorado. While serving the public there he had the honor of treating five world champion athletes, pregnant mothers, active adults, in addition to retirees.
Dr. Christianson's passion is to listen to the patients needs, while blending his years of experience to help eliminate the unfortunate pain that can stop our lives in its tracks.

customized healthcare plan she finds the root cause of these issues and guides patients toward restorative health.
After many years of caring for patients, within the model of conventional medicine, with chronic illness, metabolic syndrome, and complications of these illnesses, she felt called to do more than treat the symptoms, to look at healthcare as a whole-body approach. Tara believes every patient has a story, a root cause for their pain and struggles. It is with great honor and joy to meet clients where they are on their journey and walk them into the
healthy lifestyle they have always dreamed of but never thought possible. Tara believes in each of her patients' ability to attain their dreams of an abundant, healthier life. It is through her personal health struggles and journey that she found the freedom and benefits of lifestyle as medicine. Even as a young child, she struggled with constant belly pain, bloating, and IBS symptoms. After not receiving solutions from conventional medicine, she researched everything to alleviate the pain. Discovering that eliminating gluten and following a low-carb, clean-eating lifestyle restored her health, she began studying functional medicine.
Tara uses an evidence-based approach to assist in the healing of the whole- body, connecting physical health to mental and spiritual well-being. She enjoys creating personalized nutrition and guiding patients with lifestyle modifications.
