Overview
In his own words
I’m Dr. Dmitry Tupikov, and my passion is helping people overcome pain and get back to living life fully. Since graduating from the University of Western States in 2015, I’ve had the privilege of caring for more than 5,000 patients with challenges ranging from chronic back and neck pain to sciatica, sports injuries, car accidents, and post-surgical recovery.
​
Over the past 10 years, I’ve worked with patients of all ages—including Olympic athletes, professionals, and older adults—but what matters most to me is understanding each person’s unique story. My approach is built on listening, creating a personalized plan, and guiding you step by step toward lasting relief and better movement.
​
My goal is simple: to help you feel stronger, move easier, and get back to doing the things you love without pain holding you back.
