About

Dr. Chris Whitney

Dr. Chris is a lifelong Minnesotan, born and raised in the southern Minnesota town of Waseca. While in school, Dr. Chris tried many chiropractic methods to relieve both his headaches and his wife’s weekly migraines.

After undergraduate schooling, Dr. Chris worked for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes out of Mankato, MN where he did elementary through college ministry.  Upon getting married, he began chiropractic school at Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, MN.

While in school, Dr. Chris tried many chiropractic methods to relieve both his headaches and his wife’s weekly migraines.  After starting under NUCCA care, his wife called him on her way back from her 3rd visit and said, “I haven’t had a migraine in a couple of weeks, please do NUCCA.”  From then on, Dr. Chris’ work has been dedicated to NUCCA and bringing true health to a hurting world.
