Dr. Craig Ullman

I was introduced to the health and wellness arts through yoga in 2004. Yoga opened my eyes to a beautiful holistic vision of life and after a couple years teaching classes led me to chiropractic. So I spent three years learning all I could about conservative medicine and chiropractic at the University of Western States in Portland Oregon. Chiropractic education gave me a detailed understanding of how the body works and an appreciation for manual therapy. As a chiropractor, I see my job as identifying and eliminating stress in the human body, to improve function and balance. The main tools I use include; diversified spinal manipulation, active release technique, muscle energy technique, exercise and education. Many of these tools are simple but when applied with proper focus and timing are very effective.

Dr. Martin Carrillo

I am a first-generation American with roots traced to Mexico. My journey into chiropractic care stems from an admiration of the holistic approach that recognizes that a person’s physical structure, physiological function, and mental well-being are interconnected.

My treatment approach integrates spinal manipulation, soft tissue manipulation, and active care rehabilitation to address the unique needs of every patient.
