Born in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Dr. Joseph D. Wahl was fascinated, even as a child, with how the human body functions.

With a Bachelor of Science from North Carolina State University, Dr. Wahl graduated from Northwestern College of Chiropractic in 1990 and began his practice in Greensboro. In 1991 he moved to Southern Pines and took over the practice, Southern Pines Chiropractic.

Since then, Dr. Wahl has built Southern Pines Chiropractic into a practice that embodies the Chiropractic Triad of Health: structural, chemical and mental. He has assembled a group of six employees, including two licensed massage therapists, who offer a full range of services including Sigma Instrument Adjusting, massage therapy, nutritional and weight-loss counseling and custom orthotics.

Dr. Wahl truly cares about his patients and their well-being. His goal is to set his patients on a course that leads to a richer, better life as a result of the chiropractic experience. Dr. Wahl enjoys running and regularly participates in marathons and half-marathons.
