About Timothy J. Burkhart, DC, BCIM

Dr. Burkhart is a visionary. During his career, he has continued to expand the variety of services offered to patients to help them achieve optimal health. In 2008, Dr. Burkhart began offering spinal decompression treatments to patients suffering from neck and low back pain. Due to the success of these treatments and subsequent increased demand for these services, Dr. Burkhart developed a vision for an additional facility that would be dedicated to spinal decompression treatments. This vision became a reality in May, 2011 when the practice expanded and opened an additional facility, Burkhart & Chapp Chiropractic Spinal Decompression and Therapy Center.

Dr. Burkhart is an entrepreneur. He has recently become associated with HillDT Solutions, LLC. This newly formed company is a retailer for the Hill DT spinal decompression table, which are the tables used in the Burkhart & Chapp Spinal Decompression and Therapy Center. Due to his success with spinal decompression and the Hill DT table, the Company has asked Dr. Burkhart to share his knowledge and expertise with other health care providers by providing training and certification programs for spinal decompression through HillDT Solutions, LLC.

Dr. Burkhart collaborates with other health care professionals. He was the first chiropractic physician to be approved by the board of Metro Hospital to provide chiropractic care on their site. He has also presented to the neuroscience team of Metro Hospital and other regional medical facilities on the efficacy of the chiropractic alternative to traditional medical treatment.

Dr. Burkhart has also published two articles. He published an article on injury prevention in the Parsac Journal in 1998 and an article focused on results based spinal decompression in The Industry Compendium of Chiropractic Research in June, 2011.
