Dr. Kristan Wilson DC, MS-NHP, CCAc
Dr. Wilson’s journey into chiropractic began at seventeen, after a serious car accident left her facing the possibility of surgery and even the threat of being in a wheelchair by age thirty. Searching for a better path, she discovered chiropractic care—care that not only helped her heal, but empowered her to take part in her own health decisions. Within a year, she was strong enough to work as an EMT, later serving her community as both a paramedic and firefighter while completing her education. The experience of being truly listened to and supported by her chiropractor is the foundation of the patient-centered approach she brings to her practice today.
With undergraduate degrees in Paramedic Sciences, Medical Biology (with a minor in Chemistry), and Human Biology, Dr. Wilson went on to earn a master’s degree in Nutrition and Human Performance, graduating as Valedictorian. She then completed her Doctor of Chiropractic at Logan University, training in multiple joint and soft-tissue techniques that allow her to individualize care for women at every stage of life.
During her clinical training, Dr. Wilson became especially passionate about women’s health—pregnancy, migraines, hormonal changes, and the unique stressors women navigate daily. She saw a clear need for compassionate, skilled practitioners who could support women through transitions such as perimenopause, as well as provide safe, effective care during pregnancy. This passion led her to complete post-graduate certification in acupuncture through the International Academy of Chiropractic Acupuncture, adding another holistic tool to her care.
Today, Dr. Wilson is a holistic, women-centered chiropractic physician who offers personalized, conservative healthcare for women of all ages—especially:
Pregnant women, using the Webster Technique to support pelvic balance, comfort, and optimal fetal positioning
Women experiencing migraines and chronic tension, with gentle, targeted adjustments, muscle work, and acupuncture
Women navigating hormonal shifts, including PMS, perimenopause, adrenal imbalance, and stress-related symptoms
At River + Root Wellness, Dr. Wilson blends chiropractic, acupuncture, nutritional counseling, lab testing and interpretation, lifestyle guidance, and specialized muscle techniques to treat the whole person—not just the symptoms. Her appointments are intentionally longer than most, giving space for real conversation, thorough evaluation, and care that honors each woman’s needs, history, and goals.
Dr. Wilson’s mission is simple: to empower women with the knowledge, support, and holistic care they deserve—so they can feel strong, balanced, and fully connected to their wellbeing at every stage of life.
