Meet the Team
Dr. Dan Cianni
Doctor of Chiropractic
Dr. Dan Cianni graduated from St. Scholastica and received his Doctor of Chiropractic from Northwestern Health Sciences University. He has been serving patients in the Plymouth, City Center, and Wayzata area for seven years. Dr. Dan was originally inspired to become a chiropractor because he liked the idea of being trained in only using hands and knowledge to be able to help someone. He believes this is the most natural form of health care. His favorite part of treatment is seeing the progress of his patients and when they can do something new that they otherwise were not able to do before treatment. Dr. Dan has particular interest in postural correction, biomechanics, IMJT and ART.
