Dr. Tim was inspired to become a chiropractor through a skiing injury. Initially he suffered with shooting pains in his arms, back and legs. After trying several different modalities i.e. pain killers, physical therapy and acupuncture, he finally tried chiropractic. After months of pain and out of sheer desperation he ended up seeing a chiropractor, Dr. Larry Stern. In a relatively short period of time Dr. Stern completely resolved the pain and brought him back to an optimal state of health. It was through this experience that a seed of inspiration was planted. In the ensuing years Dr. Tim was in a serious car accident in which he herniated a cervical disk (C5-C6). One of his medical doctors told him that he would never be able to enjoy the physical activities that he enjoys such as skiing, wrestling and diving. Fortunately, Dr. Tim knew about the benefits of chiropractic care and was able to heal his body, and as a result he enjoys a full range of activities. Chiropractic has changed Dr. Tim's life in the most positive way. It not only increased the health and quality of his life, it helped to maximize his true potential.

Jason Ellis is a 2004 graduate of Cleveland Chiropractic College-Los Angeles, with undergraduate work at the University of Oklahoma. While attending Cleveland-L.A., Jason was active in the ACA, CCA, Gonstead Chiropractic, YMCA Boys and Girls Club, and performing athletic physicals for high school athletes.

Jason was originally turned on to chiropractic through his college baseball team's chiropractor. "It was amazing to me to see the progress made on extremity injuries through conservative care."

A year later, Jason was involved in a serious wakeboarding accident. "This accident left me incapable of continuing normal everyday activities. A friend of mine introduced me to a chiropractor who then explained to me the importance of a healthy spine and correcting subluxations. I was amazed at my own recovery time after my spinal subluxations were corrected and stabilized."

Jason practices Diversified technique with motion palpation, ART (active release technique), with a focus on muscular balancing and core strength. He addresses almost every joint in the body. "I understand the importance of chiropractic care on the extremities, i.e. TMJ, shoulders, knees, elbows, wrists, and ankles."

Jason enjoys almost any type of athletic outdoor activity, "surfing, stretching, and weight training-in that order…and there's always a little time to skateboard." If Jason is not in the office, you'll probably find him somewhere in the South County catching some waves.
