About Us
A chiropractor who got here through injury, not theory.
Meet Dr. Edward Johns, DC, and the team behind North River Chiropractic in Parrish.
Dr. Johns developed an early fascination with the human body's remarkable ability to heal and perform at its highest potential. As a high school and collegiate athlete, he played football, competed in weightlifting, and participated in track and field.
It was through injuries sustained during college football that Dr. Johns first discovered chiropractic care and was introduced to corrective treatment. Through specific chiropractic adjustments and corrective rehabilitation, he experienced a remarkable recovery and, within just a few months, felt stronger and more stable than he had before his injury.
Inspired by the impact of his own recovery, Dr. Johns made it his mission to help others recover, restore function, and achieve their highest level of health and wellness.
Dr. Johns earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and his Doctor of Chiropractic degree, graduating Magna Cum Laude, from Palmer College of Chiropractic. His education and extensive clinical experience have prepared him to care for patients of all ages and with a wide range of conditions.
Throughout his clinical experience, Dr. Johns has worked with and treated professional athletes from organizations including the NFL, NHL, MLB, ATP, and AMA. He has also cared for newborns, pregnant women, children, adults, and seniors, helping patients at every stage of life pursue improved health, mobility, and overall wellness.
When he is not caring for patients, Dr. Johns enjoys spending time with his wife, Tamara, and their three daughters, Lillian, Lola, and Evelyn. He also enjoys playing golf, exercising, and taking weekend trips with his family to explore parks and the outdoors.

Our approach
Our philosophy
Care here is built around correcting structure, using digital X-rays and postural analysis to see what's actually happening in your spine before recommending anything. No guessing, no one-size-fits-all adjustment.
“The preservation of health is easier than the cure of disease.”
