Dr. Taylor Chard grew up just 40 minutes outside of Toronto, Canada. She attended Wilfrid Laurier University where she obtained her Bachelor of Kinesiology Degree. During her third year of university, Dr. Chard battled extreme health complications where she was given a guarded prognosis. This is when she decided to seek conservative care where she was seen by multiple holistic doctors, including a Chiropractor. Needless to say, chiropractic changed her life in a multitude of ways which allowed her to regain confidence in her healing process.
Chiropractic has been apart of her life since she can remember. Dr. Chard was often seen by her hometown chiropractor throughout her childhood and when she acquired sports injuries. Dr. Chard played for many soccer teams, including Ontario (provincial) level soccer. She also enjoyed being a competitive dancer for 12 years.
After completing her Bachelor of Kinesiology degree she accepted her offer of admissions to Logan University located in St. Louis, MO. She decided to take on a big move to the USA to obtain her Doctor of Chiropractic degree. At school, Dr. Chard took part in many clubs including Motion Palpation Institute, Rehab2Performance, Forward Thinking Chiropractic Alliance, and took part in a Strength and Conditioning program with a varsity soccer team. Dr. Chard has always been interested and intrigued by integrative health care and functional medicine practice. She was accepted into the Integrative Health Care internship program affiliated with Logan University where she was able to gain clinical experience within hospitals and medical centers alongside other physicians. She was also a tutor and mentor for trimester one and two students to help with graduate school transition. Dr. Chard then moved to Charleston where she completed her last internship rotation and fell in love with this beautiful city and has since made it home.
When Dr. Chard isn’t at the clinic; she is often found working out, hanging out by the pool with friends, trying new coffee shops, enjoying all the beaches, gardening and spending time with her mini Aussiedoodle, Koda.
Dr. Chard looks forward to serving the Charleston community with chiropractic care. Her goal is to help her patients overcome health burdens and maintain a healthy lifestyle with a strong emphasis on neurophysiology and biomechanics.
