About

Hulbert Chiropractic in San Carlos, San Diego, is operated by Dr. Ryan Hulbert at 8312 Lake Murray Boulevard, Suite O, in the 92119 ZIP roughly one mile west of the Lake Murray dam. A San Diego native, Dr. Hulbert grew up playing baseball, basketball, and football across the city's east-county parks and credits chiropractic care with resolving a bulging lumbar disc that had kept him off the field for two years. That recovery led to a starting position on Grossmont College's baseball team and eventually a scholarship to play at Cal State San Bernardino, and patients integrating chiropractic correction with progressive resistance training work with Platinum Fitness in San Carlos to build posterior-chain strength that stabilizes corrective gains. The Lake Murray Blvd office draws a patient base from San Carlos and Del Cerro, including Cowles Mountain hikers who develop sacroiliac joint dysfunction from repetitive uphill loading on the 2.9-mile summit trail. Hulbert Chiropractic's intake process includes neurological screening, orthopedic testing, postural analysis, and on-site digital X-rays to build a diagnostic picture before the first spinal adjustment. Treatment plans cover relief care for acute injury, corrective care for structural misalignment, and ongoing wellness maintenance, with soft-tissue massage and therapeutic exercise built into each phase. The Lake Murray commercial strip also houses Lake Murray Optometric Center, and families in the 92119 corridor schedule chiropractic and optometric appointments in the same visit window to consolidate healthcare trips. Dr. Hulbert's adjusting technique combines diversified manual manipulation with instrument-assisted methods for patients who require lower-force correction, particularly adolescents and post-surgical recovery cases.
