Meet the Doctor

Dr. Tad Norris

JSC - Apple Valley

Dr. Tad is a passionate NUCCA chiropractor at Johnson Spinal Care, dedicated to helping patients experience lasting health and wellness. His approach focuses on restoring balance and unlocking the body’s natural ability to heal, offering hope to those who have struggled with chronic pain or unresolved health issues.

After suffering from headaches, dizziness and memory issues because of numerous concussions throughout his hockey career and finding no relief, Dr. Tad gave Johnson Spinal Care a chance to change his health. After his first NUCCA correction the fog cleared and he found sustained relief from his symptoms for the first time.

NUCCA chiropractic had such a profound impact that it changed his career path from physical therapy to becoming a NUCCA doctor. Dr. Tad feels blessed and honored to be able to give the same life changing care to his patients.
