Who We Are

Hi, my name is Christopher Weilandich, DC, LAT. This website has been a dream in the making since I started my Doctorate of Chiropractic program at Logan University back in 2017. I am a Chiropractic Physician in the wonderful state of Missouri, and I am super excited to finally get Project Chiro off the ground. 

A little about me. Helping people become healthier, better, faster, stronger, and reach their optimal potential has always been one of my greatest passions. With this passion in mind, I completed my undergraduate studies at Lindenwood University where I majored in Athletic Training and Exercise Science, with a minor in Psychology. After graduating I worked as the Head Athletic Trainer at a local high school where I got to further my passion for helping clients overcome and prevent injuries. I got to work with team coaches and strength and conditioning coaches to develop training programs to help our teams perform at their peak potential while working to prevent injury. 

This was a great job and I loved every second of it. I couldn’t get enough, helping clients get back to what they love was icing on the cake. However, I always felt as though there was something more, I could be doing to help more people. So, I did a lot of research into other professions and even higher education. When I first told family and close friends that I was considering going back to school, most of them thought I had gone mad. But seeing my passion for helping others, they were all incredibly supportive, nonetheless. I honestly could not thank my parents and my wife enough for helping me to work through the planning and logistics of it all.

So, I started my search. I investigated all possible options available to me. I investigated Physical Therapy and Physician’s Assistant, even a Medical Doctor and Doctor of Osteopathy (we’ll discuss all of these options in the future), plus more! But none of these really piqued my interest nor lined up with my own philosophy of a holistic approach to healthcare, or how to help future clients. So, the search continued. One day I was sitting in my Athletic Training Room before school let out , waiting for the hopefully controlled chaos to begin, and I was pondering over what profession to look into next. I knew I wanted to stay in the healthcare/medical field, but nothing was lining up. 

Then I remember back to my childhood. I was quite an active child, and rather prone to getting myself into trouble that most often culminated in bumps, bruises, and sometimes a trip to the doctor’s office. The doctor of choice was, more often than not, an amazing Chiropractic Physician. This was a huge light-bulb moment! I started looking into Chiropractic: what all they can do, how they treat clients, how they help people, and what their philosophy on healthcare is. The more I researched Chiropractic, the more excited I got about this option! Almost everything was lining up with my outlook on client care. It was amazing! And even better, one of the best chiropractic schools in the country is only a few minutes away!

So my search came to an end, and I was all in. I started my Chiropractic adventure in 2017. The education was grueling. The hours spent in classes were long and the many nights spent up late studying were exhausting. I don’t know how my wife dealt with me through it all, but she is amazing and stuck it out with me. 

Now the in-class education is over and the real world begins. It’s a new chapter and I’m so excited to share the journey to the peak of healthcare with all of you!
