Meet Our Team
Chris Moran, DC
Chiropractic Physician, Functional Neurology - Trigenics
Dr. Chris Moran received his BS degree in Physical Therapy / Physical Education from Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey in 1984. While pursuing his dream of playing professional baseball, Chris injured his low back. After other medical treatments failed, the University’s soccer team physician, a Chiropractor, helped resolve the source of Chris’ injury, allowing him to follow his dream professionally. After his baseball career, Chris attended Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, and graduated as a Chiropractic Physician in 1988. Dr. Moran moved to Denver, Colorado where he was first to utilize moving x-ray technology (digital videofluoroscopy) for the evaluation of spinal biomechanics.
Dr. Moran’s interest in nutrition led to Residency training at True North Health Center, an interdisciplinary live-in Health Education Center now located in Santa Rosa, California.
Dr. Moran became a founding partner at Whole Health Traverse City where he specializes in functional neurology and the clinical application of Trigenics, a revolutionary neurologically-based treatment system that reconnects the brain with the rest of the body, immediately reducing pain and increasing range of motion and function. Dr. Moran now specializes in chronic knee and shoulder pain. He is also certified in Chronic Intractable Pain and Neuropathy from American College of Physical Medicine
Phillip Siemer, MD
Board Certified Family Medicine, Certified Functional Medicine, Regen Medicine Clinic Director
Co-Founder of the Suttons Bay Medical Clinic, Dr. Siemer, is well known by families in the Suttons Bay area having delivered babies for nearly a decade as a Family Practitioner. As a provider with MDVIP, a national network of Primary Physicians, Dr. Siemer was able to focus on his passion for helping people in the preventive aspect of health.
Suttons Bay Clinic was established as a Regional Osteoporosis Treatment Center, incorporating the Bale and Doneen Method as a comprehensive tool for evaluating Cardiovascular Risk, offering effective treatment to reduce those risk factors. Retiring from Suttons Bay Medical Clinic in 2023 has allowed Dr. Siemer to expand his skills and help his patients regain true health through functional medicine while reducing reliance on medications when and as possible.
Realizing that the body’s innate healing abilities are maximized and optimized by incorporating healthy daily life habits, Dr. Siemer continues to broaden his knowledge and experience through ongoing Doctorate level courses in Functional Medicine. This natural approach to wellness uses diet and lifestyle modifications as well as targeted nutritional supplementation through lab testing to improve quality of life, slow down and even reverse chronic health conditions including heart disease and diabetes, and improve overall health including mental health.
Dr. Siemer is the Clinic Director for Whole Health Regenerative Medicine where he oversees the safe and effective use of injectable biological products such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) for the treatment of orthopedic injuries involving bone, ligaments, tendons and muscles.
