My Chiropractic Journey

Chiropractic Allowed Me To Walk Again

On the high school football field is where Dr. Chris Elleraas began his chiropractic path. After football practice one day he could barely walk due to a compressed nerve in his back, shooting pain into his leg. He is fully aware of the devastating effects of not being aligned and pressure on his nerves. His parents after bringing him to many doctors brought him finally to a chiropractor and the rest is history…his chiropractic career was born!

Dr. Chris is not a native of San Diego; born and raised in Fargo, North Dakota, he can truly appreciate San Diego’s great weather and beauty. After graduating from high school, Dr. Elleraas went on to pursue his pre-chiropractic Bachelor of Science degree in Biology at San Diego State University. After SDSU he relocated to Whittier, California where he attended Southern California University of Health Sciences formerly known as Los Angeles College of Chiropractic (LACC).

Dr. Chris also lives in the Carmel Valley/San Diego area with his wife Nicole, daughter Ava, and son Ethan. Dr. Chris enjoys numerous outdoor activities especially golf, running, biking, reading and fly fishing in the Northern Sierras.

Dr. Chris is passionate about life, and is passionate about teaching, educating and informing you about the value and necessity of restoring your nervous system to normal with chiropractic care. He has committed himself to helping all patients reach a level of maximal health through the detection and correction of interference to the nervous system.
