Meet The Team

My name is Dr. Taylor Russell and my journey to becoming a doctor of chiropractic was born out of my desire to help others and have a lasting impact on those around me. Unlike most of my peers, I grew up not knowing what I wanted to be but I greatly admired my father, who is an orthopaedic surgeon, and his ability to heal brokenness and restore hope in those he treats. With that in mind, I set out to get my Bachelors in Biology from Samford University with the end goal of becoming a medical doctor like my father. Toward the end of my schooling at Samford University I decided that becoming a medical doctor wasn’t the exact career path I wanted to pursue. However, I still desired to help others restore their health and well-being. With that in mind, I decided to obtain my personal training certification through the National Academy of Sports Medicine so I could play an integral part in others health and fitness successes. Around this period of time my brother, Dr. Ryan Russell, graduated with his Doctorate in Chiropractic from Life University and needed someone to help him start his practice so I divided my time between personal training and assisting him with patient care at Integrative Chiropractic. It was during this time at my brother’s practice that I vividly remember one patient encounter that would change the direction of my life forever. The patient was not over 30 years of age but shuffled from his car across the parking lot and into our office like a man 40 years his senior. After an hour of treatment that day, I watched this patient WALK out of our office and climb into his truck. It was at that moment I knew I wanted to become a chiropractor and bring healing and restoration to as many people as I possibly could. As they say, the rest is history and I am now a Doctor of Chiropractic looking to bring about meaningful change and healing to those I am privileged to treat.
