Meet The Doctors
Dr. Dale Vallotton joined The Joint Chiropractic in 2023 when he became part of the team at the Fort Wayne North clinic, where he does the rewarding work of helping people as their local healthcare provider.
“I have been practicing chiropractic for more than 23 years and it still makes my day when I see changes in the pain relief and posture of my patients after just one adjustment,” he says. “I like contributing to the health of their immune systems while correcting their spines.” Born in Baton Rouge, La., Dr. Dale, as his patients call him, spent his childhood living in various parts of the United States including Tennessee, Kentucky, New Mexico, Arkansas, Michigan, Alabama, and Colorado. He has worked as a chiropractor in Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, Indiana, Guam, Indonesia, and Singapore.
His wife, Elena, is originally from Eastern Europe. They have one son and four grandchildren who all live in Kentucky.
In his spare time, Dr. Dale enjoys working on a mini-farm they recently purchased where they raise Americana and Murano chickens. “We have a large wooded area with a lot of deer and other wild animals that like to play in our yard,” he says.
For his undergraduate degree, Dr. Dale studied at Maysville Community College and Morehead State University in Ky., as well as Park University in Parkville, Mo. He earned a doctorate at Cleveland Chiropractic College in Kansas City, Kan.
“When I was 8 years old I saw my mother carried into the chiropractor’s office after she had a fall and she walked out,” he says. “When my son was young, he had grand mal seizures that ceased after being treated with a chiropractic adjustment. I also went to the chiropractor many times after injuring my back working as a union millwright. At the age of 30 I decided I didn't want to continue injuring myself and I wanted to help others. That was when I went to school to become a chiropractor.”
As a chiropractor, Dr. Dale is most interested in how unique and interconnected the human body is. “It cannot be compartmentalized,” he says. “For instance, I have found that most plantar fasciitis begins with a compressed nerve at the L5 level in the low back. Sinus problems often stem from a C2-3 misalignment in the neck, and femur head misalignments at the top of the leg can cause low back and knee pain. But the biggest occurrence is the first rib compressing the nerves going down the arm and causing shoulder, arm, and hand pain, with hand and finger tingling and numbness. I work with these situations every day.”
What he likes most about working at The Joint in Fort Wayne North is the atmosphere in the office. “We have the time to take care of all of our patients and we don't have to rush,” he says. “The staff is great.”
In Case You Didn’t Know
He always keeps fresh spring water on hand so he’s not drinking chemicals from the tap or bottled water.
If he could plan the ideal dinner party including four famous guests, Dr. Dale would invite Jesus, Adam, Nikola Tesla, and Thomas Jefferson. “I don't think anyone would say much except for Jesus and the rest of us would be asking him questions,” he says. “I would like to get Adam's view of what the earth looked like during his time.”
Dr. Dale had some of his most memorable experiences while traveling across the globe. “I've visited 37 countries and I have met all kinds of people and experienced their cultures,” he says. “I lived in Asia for 11 years. I've learned that most people in the world are nice and we should treat people the way we want to be treated.”
His favorite book is The 10X Rule by Grant Cardone. “This book changed the way I looked at work and success,” he says.
Some of the best marital advice Dr. Dale has ever received is: “You can be right or you can be happy; you can't be both.”
If he had advice to give to others, it would be: “The most common phrase that will ruin your health is ‘I thought it would go away!’”
Dr. Ryan Hosler joined The Joint Chiropractic’s team of local healthcare providers in 2024 when he began serving residents in Fort Wayne, where he relishes the opportunity to do the work he finds so rewarding.
“I love helping my patients feel better through chiropractic adjustments because it allows them to start moving with less pain,” he says. “I believe that movement is medicine and amazing things happen when we're able to start moving more and being more active.”
Dr. Ryan, as his patients call him, loves providing pain relief to patients who haven't found relief elsewhere. “It gives them hope to continue working conservatively on overcoming their issues before resorting to surgical interventions,” he says.
A Fort Wayne native, Dr. Ryan practiced in Tampa, Fla. before returning to Indiana. He married his high school sweetheart, Jen, and the couple has two dogs. Dr. Ryan enjoys lifting weights, boating, and relaxing at the lake with his family.
He attended Indiana University, where he earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science. He got a Doctorate of Chiropractic at National University of Health Sciences in Florida.
“I knew chiropractic was the career for me after my own experience with chiropractic care in high school,” he says. “I was struggling with intermittent lower back pain and chiropractic care provided me with almost immediate relief, allowing me to become active again and work on building back my strength.”
In Case You Didn’t Know
Dr. Ryan always keeps beef jerky on hand. “I'm always trying to get ample amounts of protein and it's a quick and easy snack to help accomplish that goal,” he says.
If Dr. Ryan could plan the perfect dinner party, he'd invite the best physical therapist, medical doctor, strength coach, and manual therapist. “If we all came together to understand how we help people individually, we'd be more likely to all work together as a team to better help our clients,” he says.
Strength training is among Dr. Ryan’s most effective physical practices. “Life is so much easier when you have strength,” he says. “I will continue strength training throughout my life and do my best to influence others to get – and stay – strong.”
His best advice for others includes: "If a healthcare provider tells you something that doesn't sound right, it probably isn't. Get a second or third opinion."
Dr. Nick joined The Joint Chiropractic in November 2022 and is excited to be a part of the team here in Greenville, North Carolina. Dr. Nick graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic West in San Jose, CA in 2019. He is originally from a small town called Camden, Michigan. Dr. Nick loves traveling and seeing new places, going to the movies, trying new foods, and getting to spend time with his family back in Michigan. He came to chiropractic after spending time in the medical field and realizing he wanted more interaction with patients and better opportunities to help patients with their wellness. Dr Nick is looking forward to getting to know the Greenville area and being a part of the community.
