I was born and raised in Titusville , Pennsylvania ; a small town in the northwestern corner of the state. Our claim to fame includes being the birthplace of the oil industry, home to “muckrakers” like Ida Tarbell as well as the legendary John Heisman. After serving 5 years active duty in the United States Army as a medic, I worked towards my Bachelors of Science degree at the US Military Academy and Penn State University . I earned my Doctor of Chiropractic Degree from the “fountainhead” of our profession, the prestigious Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport Iowa in February 1998. Following graduation, I was offered a job in Edinburgh , Scotland where chiropractic was considered a “shortage” profession. I saw this as an exciting opportunity to experience life overseas as well as to potentially help shape the future of chiropractic in Great Britain . I stayed in beautiful Edinburgh fro a year before moving to the Newcastle (northeast) area of England . I started two additional practices as an Associate doctor before opening my own clinic in December 2000 together with my wife Amy.

One of the highlights of my practice in England was working closely with professional athletes and teams. I was the team chiropractor for premiership football (soccer) teams Sunderland AFC and Middlesboro FC and worked on a consultancy basis with several other players from teams including the USA national team, Swedish national team, Dutch National Team. I also worked with many British Olympic athletes. Although the professional associations were exciting, the most rewarding part of practice was family practice, treating the young and the old from 1 day to 99 years!

Despite our success in England , after 7 years of practice, we decided it was important to raise our  children in America and made the decision to return to New England , where my wife was raised. We made the move to the wonderful seacoast of New Hampshire in January 2005 and could not be happier with our decision and feel that we have found the best possible home-town for our children!

In order to better serve myself and my patients, I am dedicated to continued education and training.  In addition to being a Doctor of Chiropractic, I am also Board Certified in Physio Therapy and a Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner.  I have advanced training in Sacro-Occipitial Therapy, Cox Flexion Distration and Active Release Techniques.  In 2010, I completed course work to become a Certified Chiropractic Wellness Lifestyle PractIcioner through the international Chirorpactic Association.  Currently, I am working towards a Diplomate in  Functional Pediatric Neurology.   I am a member of the International Chiropractic Association, the American Chiropractic Asociation, The International Pediatric Chiropractic Association, The International Federation of Sports Chiropractic and the NH Chiropractic Association.

In all our years of practice, we credit our success not only to our commitment to providing the absolute best in comprehensive, individualized chiropractic care, but also to our commitment in providing the same customer service and welcoming atmosphere that we would expect for our own family and friends. In addition, we simply care about the people we serve, love what we do and are committed to surrounding ourselves with staff members with like purpose.

Alison Dean

I was born in Massachusetts and raised in Keene, NH.  After high school, I attended Champlain College in Burlington, VT, where I earned an Associates Degree in Fashion Merchandising.  After graduation, I spent the next 15 years in retail management while simultaneously earning my Bachelors Degree in Organizational Management.  In 2006, I decided to hang up my heels and pursue my passion for health, nutrition and wellness by joining the team at Middleton Chiropractic and returning to school once more at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York City where I became a Certified Integrative Nutritionist.  In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, exercising and experimenting with healthy recipes in the kitchen! 

Erin Dixon

I was born to a military family in upstate New York, where I lived only briefly before duty called and we were off! My father’s career in the United States military gave us the opportunity to live and travel all over the states and overseas before settling here in New Hampshire.  After graduating from Goffstown High School and earning a Certificate of Education for Marketing and Business Management from the Manchester School of Technology, I decided to explore the field of dentistry.  Through training and working as an apprentice, I developed into a skilled Crown and Bridge Dental Technician for the next 9 years.  In 2008, I decided to embrace a new profession where I could not only focus on my own health and well-being, but also help and encourage others to do the same.  That’s when I joined the team at Middleton Chiropractic.  Since that time, I have also earned my certification at the American Academy of Personal Training in Boston, Ma.  I enjoy living in the Seacoast and staying active while sharing my enthusiasm for fitness training and nutrition.  A few of my favorite hobbies and sports are soccer, rugby, running and many other outdoor activities.

Tyler Bartlett, DC

Tyler is a New England native who grew up in Vermont, spent childhood summers vacationing on the beautiful Maine seacoast and recently made his home in the seacoast of New Hampshire. He attributes his interest in pursuing a career in chiropractic to his strengths in the study of physical sciences coupled with the importance his family placed while growing up on a healthy, active lifestyle.  He felt that chiropractic was the natural choice to be able to help others reach their own unique health potential while being able to draw from his own personal philosophy.  Tyler graduated from Allegheny College in Meadville, PA in 2006, as a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a concentration in Molecular Genetics. He then attended New York Chiropractic College in Seneca Falls, NY where he was able to enjoy the Finger Lakes Region countryside. He completed his clinical rotation in Long Island as an intern in private practice where technical specialties included Cox Flexion Distraction and Graston soft tissue mobilization. His most recent professional experience was in a clinic where the primary focus was physical rehabilitation of injury and is looking forward to incorporating some of this expertise within the practice model at Middleton Chiropractic. In his leisure time, Tyler enjoys running, biking, golfing, soccer and being in the great outdoors!
