Allison Kyzer Gardner, D.C.

Dr. Allison Kyzer Gardner is a Saluda County native. She also has strong ties to Newberry County, as she is a 2009 graduate of Newberry College and her father was born and raised on the old Oakland Mill Village.

After graduating from Newberry College, Dr. Gardner enrolled at Sherman College of Chiropractic in Spartanburg, SC where her passion of chiropractic grew. The philosophy of chiropractic impressed her and she knew she had found the perfect way to help others with a natural and noninvasive way to approach healthcare. Both Saluda County and Newberry County feel like home for Dr. Gardner; therefore, she has always known that she would return to this area so that she can care for the people she has always known and loved.

Dr. Gardner and her husband currently reside in Union County. They both share a love for the outdoors and enjoy spending time with their son, Kipton, and two pups, Lady and Woodrow.

Dr. Gardner and her husband are the founders of  a non-profit, Judd's Legacy - ICP Awareness.  Judd's Legacy was founded in memory of their son, Judd William Gardner, who was stillborn due to a pregnancy complication called Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy.
