The Joint Chiropractic - West Village

As a basketball player in high school, Dr. Kayla Tallant had continued problems with her ankles. She consistently experienced injuries that would keep her out of play for a week at a time. Thankfully, someone recommended that she see a chiropractor. This changed everything. While she began her professional career working in the corporate world, she eventually realized that she wanted to shed the desk job and pursue a career that allowed her to be more active, have more interaction with people, and above all else, make a difference. "After my first adjustment, I never had an injury that kept me from playing again, and I was able to continue my basketball career into college. Like so many people, I thought I knew what career path I wanted to take, but it wasn’t long before I realized I could make a lasting impact on peoples’ lives through Chiropractic care.”

Her pursuit led her to pursuing a doctorate of chiropractic in Dallas. She has continued her education with the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, specializing in pediatric and pre-natal care while also treating athletes. She joined The Joint team in 2014 after three years of owning a practice in Oklahoma City. "My philosophy on chiropractic is that everyone with a spine needs to be adjusted. The insurance model does not make this very possible, which is why I am thrilled about this opportunity. The Joint offers me the ability to provide convenient and affordable care to virtually anyone...or at least anyone in our corner of the world!"

Dr. Kayla graduated from Austin College in Sherman, Texas with degrees in History and Political Science before attending Parker College of Chiropractic care in Dallas.

She was the first African-American female nominated for a Leading Actress Oscar in 1954 for her role in Carmen.
