Dr. Chris Cucullu

Chiropractor

Dr. Chris Cucullu is an experienced Gonstead Chiropractor. Born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska.

He received his Doctor of Chiropractic from the Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude (Palmer College of Chiropractic is the same college that Dr. Gunnsteinn and Dr. Andri graduated from).

Dr. Chris first decided he wanted to become a chiropractor after he himself suffered from debilitating neck pain when he was in high school during hockey season.

As a competitive hockey player, for years he battled constant strain and demand the game had on his body. In pain he first visited a traditional medical doctor to no avail. Then he went to see a doctor of chiropractic where he experienced relief and correction of the underlying cause.

At that time he noticed a stark difference between the two distinct healing arts that left a lasting impression. The other patients at the chiropractor’s office were actually happy to be there and seemed to be expressing more health! Then after meeting the chiropractor, receiving his first spinal adjustment and feeling relief, Chris decided he too wanted to become a chiropractor and help others.

Later while attending the Palmer College of Chiropractic and learning about the more common chiropractic techniques, Chris decided he wanted to serve people through specific chiropractic. Meaning a thorough method that localizes the precise shift in the spinal column obstructing the involved spinal nerve (vertebral subluxation) and the normal healing process; then provides a more targeted adjustment to address a specific issue resulting from the subluxation. For this reason, even though he knew it would require a lot of additional work and training, Dr. Chris chose the Gonstead Method – which is widely regarded as the gold standard in chiropractic care.

Dr. Chris first began his training as a Troxell Intern, which involves extensive training and required proficiency in the Gonstead system of analysis. He has since interned for some of the most respected Gonstead Chiropractors in the world and has been in active practice.

Early on Dr. Chris also knew he wanted to help children, pregnant mothers and families because he saw first hand the stark difference in health for those who waited until crises mode and those receiving regular spinal checkups. As such, he has sought out additional training and certification, including the Webster Technique in caring for pregnant mothers, as well as training through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) for newborns, infants and children.

His passion for pediatrics is fueled by the fact that children are sicker than ever (over 50% of children now suffer from at least one chronic condition) and he has seen first-hand how specific chiropractic care can bring about a return to health for so many needlessly suffering children.

Dr. Chris is passionate about helping his patients “express their true health potential as nature intended“.

His other memberships, training and awards include:

• Member of the Academy of Chiropractic Philosophers

• Awarded the Virgil Strang Chiropractic Philosophy Award

• Member of the Delta Sigma Chi Fraternity of Chiropractic

• >250 hours of additional training in NeuroStructural Corrective Care

Dr. Chris grew up playing competitive hockey and still enjoys playing recreationally whenever he gets the chance. He also enjoys golfing, fishing and spending time with friends and family.
