From Passion to Practice: The Life Aligned Journey
The Vision Behind Life Aligned Wellness
My journey toward Life Aligned Wellness began over 20 years ago. I saw firsthand how broken the healthcare system was, how sick people were, and how they were not getting the outcome they so desperately needed. Seeing the way people were suffering, I knew in my heart that something had to be said and done to bring awareness into the community and show them a different route.
I wanted to provide something that was really unique to healthcare and show those suffering that they had other options to address their various health challenges. This is why Life Aligned Wellness Center was founded. I created a model of healthcare that is different from what exists today. I believe that health comes from the inside out and that we are born to naturally be healthy and there are a lot of things that get in the way of that.
I don’t believe your first choice should be drugs and surgery, but instead, asking the questions: Why is my body sick, and how do I restore my health? To try and find the root of the problem rather than “treat” each symptom as it comes and play the guessing game.
I believe that a natural healthcare system is essential to honor the body’s natural ability to heal and do what it’s designed to do. In doing so we can start to rely less on drugs and surgery and solve the root of the problem. In hand with that, I believe building relationships with our patients is key to really getting an understanding of where the problem lies and how to start the healing process.
Changing Lives, One Patient at a Time
About Dr. Christopher Cox
Founder & CEO, Life Aligned Wellness Center – Tucson, AZ
Dr. Christopher Cox has been helping people feel better, move better, and live better since the mid-’90s (yes, he’s that old—and that experienced). With more than 250,000 chiropractic adjustments delivered and over 3,000 patients personally cared for, he’s earned a reputation for solving tough, chronic, and complex cases—especially when other approaches have failed.
From the start, Dr. Cox has believed that people deserve more than quick fixes and symptom-chasing. His care is rooted in a whole-person approach, using advanced technology, deep clinical insight, and a genuine connection with every patient. His goal? Real results that last—and a care experience that feels personal, not clinical.
Life Aligned Wellness Center was built from that passion. Frustrated by the limitations of the traditional healthcare model, Dr. Cox set out to create something better: a space where people are truly heard, deeply cared for, and guided back to the life they’ve been missing.
This isn’t just a job—it’s a calling. And for nearly three decades, Dr. Cox has shown up every day with purpose, precision, and a lot of heart to make a lasting difference in the lives of those he serves.
If you’re looking for a chiropractor who blends clinical excellence with down-to-earth compassion, you’ve found the right place.
Get to Know the Experts Behind Your Care
Dr. Cox
CEO/ChiropractorDr. Cox is the mastermind behind Life Aligned Wellness Center in Tucson and has spent 23 years helping people rediscover their health without relying on endless meds or unnecessary surgeries. He earned his BS in Human Biology and Doctor of Chiropractic degrees from Northwestern Health Sciences University, equipping him with the expertise to transform lives through chiropractic care. As someone who overcame his own struggles with knee pain, ruptured spinal discs, and more health issues than he’d care to relive, Dr. Cox knew there had to be a better way. Chiropractic care gave him his life back, and now he’s paying it forward, one adjustment at a time.
His favorite part of the job? That “wow” moment when patients realize they’re doing something they thought was impossible – like tying their shoes without wincing or dancing at their kid’s wedding. It’s moments like these that keep him going (along with a cup of black coffee, occasionally sweetened when he’s feeling adventurous).
When he’s not in the office, Dr. Cox is likely biking for 4-5 hours straight – because why not? – or enjoying a quiet family dinner with his wife Jennifer and their four kids. His life motto? “Fall down seven, get up eight.” So, if you’re ready to stand a little taller and feel a whole lot better, Dr. Cox is the guy to help you get back on track. Just don’t be surprised if you catch him biking off into the sunset after your appointment!
Dianna
Operations Support SpecialistSay hello to Dianna, our Operations Support Specialist and the office’s unofficial cheerleader! With nearly 15 years in healthcare (and 9 fabulous years here in Tucson), she’s the maestro of our daily operations. Dianna’s path to healthcare started with her dream of being a mom, which she accomplished early. After a brief stint in nursing, she found her groove as a Certified Biller/Coder, ensuring our behind-the-scenes processes are as smooth as her favorite gummy bears (she’s definitely Team Pineapple!).
Dianna’s talents don’t stop there—she’s a master at insurance billing, team training, and filling in wherever needed. If you’re curious about her secret life, she’s a proud owner of two dogs, six tortoises, three chickens, and two fish! And, just to keep things interesting, she crushes it at Pole Fitness classes.
After a long day of helping patients, you’ll find her enjoying dinner with her family and maybe leveling up in Coin Master. Oh, and did we mention she was Little Miss Arizona at five? Talk about a star!
Her golden rule for everyone? Hydrate! It’s the simplest way to kickstart feeling better. And if you need her, she’ll probably be next door at Starbucks, fueling up with her favorite iced quad shot!
Angelique
Director of Practice Member ExperiencesMeet Angelique, our Director of Patient Experiences and self-proclaimed Cheeto Puff fanatic! With almost 5 years in healthcare, she’s passionate about helping patients find their way to health and happiness.
One of her favorite moments? Seeing a patient go from barely standing to walking tall, with tears of joy streaming down their face. When she’s not at work, Angelique loves scrapbooking, baking, and unwinding with a long bath. Her go-to motto? “Just keep swimming!” Her advice to everyone? Be proud of who you are—Cheeto dust and all!
Aleida
Chiropractic Case ManagerSay hello to Aleida, Chiropractic Case Manager extraordinaire at Life Aligned Wellness Center! With years of healthcare experience, she’s all about making patients feel cared for, understood, and ready to take on the world—after some fruit gummies, of course (her secret to powering through busy days). Her most memorable moment? Helping a patient walk out pain-free after years of suffering—his smile said it all!
Outside the office, Aleida loves to sing, play piano, and tackle crochet projects (even if they don’t always turn out quite right). After a long day, she’s happiest with her family, her dogs, and a relaxing hobby or two.
Her go-to motto? “Where there is life, there is hope.” And her advice? Be patient, embrace change, and trust that good things are just around the corner!
Sarah
Clinical Chiropractic AssistantSarah’s journey to Life Aligned Wellness Center was all about one thing: helping people feel confident in their own skin (and skeleton). For the past two years, she’s been the friendly face behind many of the therapies that help patients get back to living life—pain-free and full of joy.
She’s a small-town girl who grew up with more animals than houseplants, knows her way around a two-step, and keeps things powered by home brew and kindness. She’s all about helping people find their confidence, whether it’s through care here at the office or a friendly smile. She thrives on challenges and believes in learning something new every day. Pro tip: lead with love—just like Sarah does.
Harmony
Rehab Chiropractic AssistantI’m Harmony, the rehab chiropractic assistant here at Life Aligned Wellness Center. My job is to make sure your stretches aren’t just stretches—they’re done right, so you can recover faster and smile bigger.
I’ve worn a lot of hats: assisted living caregiver, personal trainer, even soldier (yep, I joined the military at 17). But no matter the role, helping people has always been my purpose. Around here, that means coffee in hand (any kind will do), cheering you on, and reminding you that change is not only okay—it’s the point.
When I’m not guiding stretches, you’ll find me unwinding with my partner, Jonathan, our two pups Millie and Zoey, some Netflix, and maybe a video game or two. My motto? “Will this matter a year from now?” (Spoiler: that extra rep usually does.)

Our Mission: Healing from the Inside Out
We envision a healthcare system that’s rooted in relationships, prioritizes natural solutions, supports the individual, and encourages proactive, personal responsibility for health.
At Life Aligned Wellness Center, we believe healthcare is broken—and we’re here to help fix it. Our mission is to bring awareness to the fact that many people are suffering unnecessarily, simply because they aren’t aware of safe, natural, and effective alternatives to conventional treatments.
Quick fixes and invasive procedures have become the norm, but true healing happens from the inside out. Our bodies are designed to heal and function optimally—often without the need for drugs or surgery. While there is a time and place for conventional medicine, it should never be the first option.
Prevention, education, and empowerment are the keys to long-term health. We help our patients understand that reclaiming their health is a journey, not an overnight event. Through the right support, tools, and mindset, we believe we can create lasting change—for individuals and our entire community.
Because healthy people are happier people. And happier people make the world better.
Your health and well-being are just an adjustment away!
