Meet Dr. Jason Nardi
Chiropractor | Chiropractic Internist | Clinical Nutritionist
For Dr. Jason Nardi, healthcare is more than a profession—it is a calling shaped by his own remarkable journey from patient to doctor.
Before entering healthcare, Dr. Nardi built a career in New York’s fast-paced printing and advertising industry. His perspective on medicine changed dramatically after developing a complex illness that resisted conventional treatment. An adverse drug reaction brought additional health complications, and a subsequent back injury left him searching for answers.
From a Patient to a Doctor
When he sought chiropractic care, the results changed his life. Within three weeks, his back pain had resolved, and he experienced a remarkable improvement in his overall health.
That experience sparked a lifelong interest in the relationship between the body’s structure, nervous system, and overall function. Already pursuing prerequisites for physical therapy or acupuncture, Dr. Nardi changed course and enrolled at Life University, earning his Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 2011.
Advanced Training & Clinical Expertise
Dr. Nardi gained international clinical experience working in a specialized scoliosis clinic within a hospital in Saudi Arabia. After relocating to Alaska, he began recognizing that many patients presenting with musculoskeletal complaints were also struggling with complex metabolic and systemic conditions, including autoimmune disorders, thyroid dysfunction, and Type 2 diabetes.
Determined to offer a more comprehensive approach to patient care, Dr. Nardi pursued extensive postgraduate education in functional medicine, chiropractic internal medicine, clinical nutrition, and medical acupuncture.

This combination of training allows him to approach patient care from complementary perspectives, addressing structural and musculoskeletal conditions while investigating the nutritional, metabolic, and physiological factors that influence health.
Three Pillars of Health
At Valley Chiropractic, Dr. Nardi integrates structural care with an understanding of internal physiology through three fundamental principles.
These three pillars, symbolized by the three trees in Valley Chiropractic’s logo, represent his belief that lasting health requires attention to the body’s physical framework, the fuel that sustains it, and the movement that keeps it functioning.
Proper Structure
Chiropractic care addresses spinal and joint mechanics, helping reduce pain, restore mobility, and improve physical function.
Proper Nutrition
Functional diagnostic testing and individualized clinical nutrition help identify and address nutritional and metabolic factors that may contribute to poor health.
Proper Movement
Therapeutic exercise, rehabilitation, and healthy movement patterns help build strength, restore mobility, and maintain long-term physical function.
A comprehensive perspective
Where Structure Meets Function
Together, these principles form the foundation of his practice: Where Structure Meets Function.
Dr. Nardi has a particular clinical interest in complex chronic illnesses, autoimmune conditions, Type 2 diabetes, hormonal dysfunction, and integrative support for patients undergoing cancer treatment. He is equally passionate about helping patients overcome persistent pain, recover mobility, and return to the activities they love.
For Dr. Nardi, the most rewarding part of practice is helping people make meaningful improvements in conditions they once believed they simply had to live with.
Leadership, Community & Family
Beyond patient care, Dr. Nardi is dedicated to advancing professional education and serving his community.
He serves as President of National Nutrition Standard, a nonprofit organization committed to advancing postgraduate clinical nutrition education and professional development. He also participates in philanthropic initiatives throughout Alaska supporting Shriners Children’s.
A dedicated practitioner of traditional Filipino martial arts, Dr. Nardi values the discipline, movement, and lifelong learning that martial arts encourage—principles that complement his approach to health and wellness.
Above all, Dr. Nardi is a devoted family man. He treasures time with his wife, Jessica, and their beloved pets, finding in family the same sense of connection, balance, and purpose that guides his professional life.
