Dr. Travis Parker, your Tyler Chiropractor
To My Tyler Community:
Hello, I’m Dr. Guy Parker. I recently graduated from Parker University with my Doctorate of Chiropractic and Master’s in Clinical Neuroscience, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to finally serve the great community of Tyler through Parker Health and Chiropractic!
Chiropractic has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, but my commitment to this profession was solidified when I injured my back playing Division I football chasing a dream. At the time, I was told my only options were long-term pain medication or spinal fusion surgery. Imagine being in your prime and those being the options. Clearly neither one aligned with the future I envisioned for myself. My brother Travis extended a hand and reintroduced me back to my roots: healing through chiropractic. I have been in and out of chiropractic offices for everything under the sun; however, this one was different. I was actually injured and scared. I made the journey from Cushing, Oklahoma to Tyler, Texas and began receiving chiropractic care. Not only did I recover from what medical professionals were calling a lifelong uphill battle, but I experienced a level of clarity, function, and overall well-being that changed the entire trajectory of my life. I also became a world champion and world record holding powerlifter. That whole experience confirmed for me that when the nervous system is free to express life, the body is capable of far more than we are often led to believe. This ‘epiphany’ made it easy to leave one dream and to become obsessed with the next. Chiropractic.
During my schooling and training, I developed a deep respect for the intelligence of the body and it’s ability to adapt when interference is removed. My graduate Masters thesis focused on the neuroplastic changes that occur with chiropractic adjustments, studying EEG, somatosensory evoked potentials, and functional outcomes to better understand how restoring proper communication in the nervous system influences human health and performance. My conclusion: Chiropractic has limitless benefits to all who have a spine. “Get the big idea, all else follows. It is as simple as that!”
I’m trained in a variety of Chiropractic adjusting techniques Diversified, Upper Cervical Technique, Thompson, SOT, Activator, Webster, Prone Specific, Motion-Specific Technique, pneuma, MC2, and Zone to name a few. I can adjust infants, pregnant mothers, athletes, and adults with clarity and precision. My experience in high-volume principled practices reinforced what I believe at my core: every person deserves the opportunity to function the way they were created to, without interference.
Working alongside my brother is something I have looked forward to for years. I am here to honor the mission, culture, and standard of care he has built. My focus is to serve with excellence, communicate with intention, and help every individual who enters our office to feel supported, understood, and empowered in their journey towards better health and healing.
Whether you are here for performance, pain, pregnancy, pediatric care, or everyday wellness, my goal is to address the root cause, reconnect the nervous system, and help you experience life expressed at a higher level. Chiropractic is more than a profession to me, it’s a calling and a responsibility to show up for people with clarity, compassion, and a commitment to principled care. To help and provide hope to those who may find themselves where I was with 2 bad options, full of fear and a lack of hope.
Outside the office, I enjoy training, walking my dogs Hank and Phebs, being outdoors, and continuing my education in neurology, human performance, and principled chiropractic. I am honored to be part of this practice and grateful for the opportunity to serve you and your family.
God Bless,
Dr. Guy Parker D.C, M.S Clinical Neuroscience, CSCS
