Meet the Chiropractors
Dr. Mike Pierce – Doctor of Chiropractic
Dr. Mike Pierce is passionate about educating and empowering people to reach their highest levels of health and performance. Growing up as an athlete, he learned the importance of peak performance firsthand. His inspiration to become a chiropractor began when chiropractic care transformed and saved his father’s life.
Dr. Mike believes the body needs no help to heal, only freedom from interference. His mission is to help minimize medication use, prevent sickness and disease, and allow patients to live the lives they were created for. Together with his wife, Dr. Alanna, he is dedicated to building healthy, thriving families in Chandler and beyond.
“Health isn’t something we wait to lose. It’s something we actively protect. Chiropractic gives people that power.”
Dr. Alivia Dallman – Doctor of Chiropractic
Dr. Alivia Dallman first discovered chiropractic in high school when her mother developed an autoimmune disorder. After finding little help from conventional medicine, her family turned to chiropractic care, which revealed a new, root-cause approach to health. Inspired, Dr. Alivia pursued her passion for helping others heal naturally.
She graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, where she met her husband, Eric. Now living in Arizona, Dr. Alivia enjoys hiking, visiting local coffee shops, working out, and spending time with their two dogs, Journey and Rainier.
“You’re not broken. You just need the right tools and support. We’re here to provide both.”
Dr. Curtis Dunlop - Doctor of Chiropractic
Dr. Curtis brings more than 30 years of experience to the chiropractic profession and has dedicated his career to helping individuals and families live healthier, more vibrant lives. He discovered his passion for chiropractic early on and graduated from Parker College of Chiropractic before opening a family-focused practice in North Platte, Nebraska. For over three decades, he became known for his patient-centered approach, his commitment to true healing, and his heart for serving his community.
After many successful years in Nebraska, Dr. Curtis and his wife felt called to begin a new chapter in Arizona. They now enjoy the warm climate and continue pouring into patients with the same purpose, passion, and belief that the body is designed to heal when given the right support.
Dr. Curtis is the proud father of seven children and grandfather to eighteen grandchildren. When he’s not serving patients, he enjoys rebuilding classic cars, golfing, hunting, and spending quality time with his wife, kids, and grandkids.
