About

A soldier, a scientist, and a storyteller

Dr. Chris Slininger served nine years in the U.S. Army as an engineer, including overseas during Operation Iraqi Freedom, before dedicating his career to the brain. Today he is one of fewer than 80 craniocervical specialists in the country and one of only a handful of Certified Advanced Orthogonists.

As founder of Cerebral, Executive Director of the Advanced Orthogonal Institute, and founder of Synapse Continuing Education, he has trained doctors nationwide and logged hundreds of hours on stage — all with one message: people deserve real answers and real solutions.
