2005 Palmer graduate Dr. Ryan Hummel practices at Point Loma's Element Wellness Center off North Harbor Drive, where Canadian national rugby-team injury history shapes his Shelter Island marina-basin caseload. Rugby exposure translates into a sports-heavy practice — scoliosis progression, auto-accident whiplash, and post-surgical shoulder and knee rehab — with recovery-phase strengthening frequently handing off to Sunset Performance Physical Therapy. Before San Diego, his mission work in Ireland's underprivileged communities — hundreds of family chiropractic cases — shaped the wellness-certification and Chiropractic Biophysics fellowship path he continues today. When scoliosis progression or post-concussion cases need athletic-trainer-level functional screening alongside structural care, workflows layer with Victoria Simpson, DC, ATC's ATC-credentialed movement assessments. Scoliosis monitoring is the practice's longest-arc workflow — teenage Cobb-angle tracking through skeletal maturity, with Chiropractic Biophysics protocols and repeat imaging extending across five-to-ten-year timelines that few chiropractic practices in San Diego carry.
