Meet Our Doctors of Chiropractic
Dr. Josh Nannen
Dr. Josh Nannen has been seeing a chiropractor since the age of ten. His parents knew the importance of preventative wellness care for the spine and wanted their children to have a great start and development through life!
As an East Texas native, he grew up in Jacksonville where he excelled in sports and school and received scholarships to play soccer at St. Edward’s University in Austin, TX where he graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and a minor in Business. Dr. Josh credits chiropractic care for unleashing the potential within him that allowed him to perform at an elite level both on and off the field.
His love of serving people and his passion for learning how the human body works drew him to Chiropractic as a potential career, and after working for a year as a therapy technician at a chiropractic office, he made the move to Parker University in Dallas.
It was here that Dr. Josh obtained his second bachelor’s degree in Health and Wellness and a Doctorate of Chiropractic degree. He graduated at the top of his class and went to work as an associate doctor in a busy chiropractic office in Frisco, TX gaining as much experience as possible to better treat his patients.
Dr. Josh’s time at school and time as an associate doctor cultivated his love for wholistic wellness Chiropractic care. The purpose of Chiropractic care is to insure proper motion of the spine, thus removing interference to the nerve that exits between the vertebrae. He has developed a passion for making sure the brain can communicate properly with every organ, cell, and tissue of the body through spinal adjusting and basic functional neurology. Dr. Josh does not go a week without getting adjusted to maintain the integrity of his own spine! Making the transition from athlete, to doctor, to family man persuaded Dr. Josh to make the move back to beautiful East Texas to serve and care for the community he grew up around, in the unique way that he promotes health and healing.
Dr. Josh and his wife Nicole, who is from Tyler, along with their son’s Liam and Gavin and daughter Melody are creating a community of health, wellness, and family at Essential Living Chiropractic. Their family is honored to love and serve the people of Tyler, and the surrounding areas, and to help them reach, and go beyond, their health and wellness goals.
Meet Dr. Danielle Lewis
Dr. Danielle Lewis attended Parker University College of Chiropractic where she simultaneously earned her Master of Science in Clinical Neuroscience. During her time at Parker, she achieved the Clinic Excellence Award and the James W. Parker Chiropractic Philosophy Award for demonstrating the Parker Principles of Friendship, Love of Mankind, and the compassion to serve in the Practice of Chiropractic – an extremely high honor. Dr. Danielle has a heart for helping families feel and function at their best. As a vitalistic chiropractor, she believes that when the nervous system is supported, the whole body can thrive. She understands it is an honor to walk alongside patients through every stage of life—whether it’s helping a mom-to-be find comfort during pregnancy, caring for a brand-new baby, or supporting kids as they grow.
Pregnancy and childhood are such unique and special seasons, each with their own physical and emotional needs. That’s why Dr. Danielle has dedicated extra training to perinatal and pediatric chiropractic care, becoming Webster Technique certified through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association and continues to be an active member.
She is currently pursuing her CACCP and CSSPP certifications and aims to be a forever student always increasing her knowledge. This allows her to meet those delicate needs with the right skill, attention, and care.
She understands that no two people are the same. That’s why she uses a range of different chiropractic techniques, tailoring each adjustment and approach to the individual in front of her. Her goal is always simple: to create a patient-centered experience that helps each person feel heard, cared for, and supported on their journey to better health.
At Essential Living Chiropractic, Dr. Danielle loves creating a warm, welcoming space where families can feel at home. She considers it an honor to serve her community and to witness the amazing ways the body can heal and flourish when given the right support.
Outside the office, Dr. Danielle maintains the typical “Mom Taxi-driver” status between her four children, husband, and two dogs. She enjoys being active in her church community, training in Jiu Jitsu alongside her family, reading a good book, spending time outside, and settling in for an epic movie marathon—especially favorites like The Lord of the Rings and Jurassic Park.
