about
Dr. Eric Turner is a proud Tri-Cities native, born and raised in Richland.
A graduate of Richland High School, he was actively involved in athletics and student leadership. After his freshman year at Brigham Young University in Provo, UT, he served a two-year church mission in Arizona. While serving as a missionary, he had become well acquainted with a chiropractor in the Glendale area. Dr. Eric refers to this as his first personal experience with chiropractic.
Two years of walking, biking, and just being on my feet took a toll on my body. Thanks to regular adjustments, this great chiropractor helped me to feel better and take control of my own health. The more we spoke, the more he encouraged me to consider becoming a chiropractor myself!
Upon finishing his mission, Dr. Eric returned to his studies at BYU (where he met and married his beautiful wife, Carly!). He received his Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science in 2015. The Turners then moved to Davenport, Iowa, where Dr. Eric enrolled at Palmer College of Chiropractic. For the next three and a half years, he immersed himself in the science, art, and philosophy of health at the birthplace of chiropractic. His passion for the body and its capabilities only grew as he worked as a dissector in the human cadaver lab, and as a teaching assistant in the chiropractic technique department. He continued serving in student leadership capacities such as president of his class, and vice president of the Palmer cycling club. Dr Eric graduated from Palmer College in 2019 and started his career in the Tri-Cities.
Immediately upon graduation, Dr. Eric began the additional coursework required to become a Certified Chiropractic Extremities Practitioner (CCEP). He is one of the few extremity certified chiropractors in Washington state trained to address chiropractic issues in both the spine and in the extremities. This full-body approach creates a truly one of a kind and unique treatment experience. Dr Eric is also certified in Webster Technique, the premier chiropractic protocol for pregnancy and maternity care.
I chose to become a chiropractor because I want to help people achieve their health and wellness goals in a unique and personal way. I love to teach! The body is capable of healing and regulating itself, but I don’t want to just tell people about that—I want to help them to experience it
Dr. Eric enjoys spending time with his immediate and extended family, and is grateful to be back in the Tri-Cities. He loves outdoor activities including cycling, exploring local parks with his family, and Mariners baseball. He can often be seen (or heard) playing his bagpipes. The Turners enjoy adventures with their kids Benjamin and Natalie.
Dr Eric is kind, intelligent and incredibly skilled. He not only can adjust nearly every joint in your body, he takes the time to talk through what might be the root cause of the problem and will educate you how to make lasting changes.
