Member Spotlight: Young Chiropractor of the Year Award Recipient, Jennifer Gardner, DC Young Chiropractor of the Year Award Recipient, Jennifer Gardner, DC
Jennifer Gardner, DC, prides herself on providing personalized care to everyone that sees her for an adjustment. Dr. Gardner graduated from Texas Chiropractic College in April 2014, earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Organismal Biology, with a minor in French, at the University of Tennessee at Martin in 2008. At Gardner Chiropractic and Wellness Center in Round Rock, she provides care to the whole family, including expectant mothers, babies, and children. Her chiropractic techniques include Diversified, Activator, Flexion-Distraction, and Webster Technique. She is also certified in Functional Taping for Musculoskeletal Injuries and Graston Technique. She wants everyone to heal better, feel better, and live better when they visit with her.
Dr. Gardner is a member of the Texas Chiropractic Association where she has served in various leadership roles, including District 8 State Director on the TCA Board of Directors. She previously served as External Affairs Coordinator and has chaired several TCA state committees. She also is also a member of the American Chiropractic Association, Women Chiropractors, Professional Women of Williamson County, Round Rock Kiwanis chapter, BNI Chapter President, and is a supporter of the Round Rock ISD Partners in Education Foundation. Dr. Gardner was voted a “Round the Rock” Top 3 Chiropractor. Born in Mesa, Arizona, Dr. Gardner lived in several states before movingto Texas in 2008, where she met her husband, Joe, and has stayed since graduating from Texas Chiropractic College. She was inspired to be a doctor by the fantastic care that she was given by her pediatrician in Colorado. She chose to attend chiropractic college to help heal people with her hands. When she’s not caring for patients, she enjoys spending time with her husband, son, and family while hiking, kayaking, swimming, reading, crafting, and playing with her two dogs. She also enjoys trying new restaurants, taking in new movies, attending renaissance fairs, fishing, traveling, and day trips in and around the Austin area. How long have you been a TCA member and why did you join TCA? I started with TCA while I was a student at Texas Chiropractic College. I was involved in the STCA and President for the last two years of school. After I graduated, I took a hiatus while I started my practice and had my son. I started back up with TCA in 2016. When Dr. Mo Jahadi moved up into TCA Secretary/Treasurer in 2018, I was elected District 8 State Director. I have served in several state leadership roles since then. Currently, I am involved at the district level, chair the Education & Events Committee, and co-chair the Texas Women Chiropractic Collaborative. I am a part of TCA because it is important to me that we continue to protect our rights to practice as chiropractors and project chiropractic into the future. I stay with TCA for the community of doctors, especially as a solo doctor in a small family practice, that I can turn to for questions and advice. At this point in my career, I am excited to mentor young doctors and build a community of women chiropractors in Texas that may not have been a part of TCA before. |
