Meet Dr. Dana Tankell

Doctor of Chiropractic with 15+ years of experience in patient-centered care

Dr. Dana Tankell, D.C.

Doctor of Chiropractic

Dr Dana shares over 30 years of experience in chiropractic care with San Diego. As a former gymnast and manager of the wrestling team, she saw the need to understand how their lifestyle and diet was effecting their health and ability to thrive as an athlete. She received her BS in nutrition and food science from Hunter College. She then went on to receive her DC from Life University in Marietta, GA.

Known for her patient centered approach, Dr Dana takes the time to listen to each patient’s concerns and develops personalized treatment plans that address their specific needs. She believes in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms, and is committed to helping her patient achieve optimal, health and wellness.

Dr Dana specializes in a variety of chiropractic techniques including Thompson drop table, Diversified, SOT, Activator and Chiropractic BioPhysics but at the core of each adjustment is a technique called KST. Her expertise extends to treating injuries sustained from an auto accident, sports injuries, chronic back and neck, pain, and headaches, as well as supporting you during pregnancy.

When not treating patients, Dr Dana enjoys going on walks with her dog, Sunshine (who also doubles as an office greeter on certain days), practicing yoga and dancing through life.
