Dr. Jean Hulbert, DC, LAC

Dr. Jean Hulbert has been practicing chiropractic and acupuncture since 1995. She earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Northwestern College of Chiropractic in Minnesota, and completed a three-year, master’s-level acupuncture program at the Minnesota Institute of Acupuncture and Herbal Studies. She is the only provider in Southcentral Alaska professionally licensed in both chiropractic and acupuncture. This dual perspective informs every treatment she offers—whether chiropractic, acupuncture, or a blend of both—and allows the two disciplines to complement each other in a truly integrative approach.

Dr. Hulbert is passionate about helping people feel their best so they can live their most fulfilling lives. While many patients initially seek care for pain relief, she especially appreciates when they notice an overall sense of improved well-being after treatment. She treats a wide range of conditions including anxiety, depression, insomnia, digestive disorders, allergies, asthma, menstrual irregularities, and infertility. Her practice is family-friendly, and she enjoys offering chiropractic and gentle acupuncture care for children.

A lifelong Alaskan, Dr. Hulbert grew up in Anchorage and spent her childhood hiking, skiing, camping, kayaking, and beachcombing in remote corners of the state with her adventurous family. These days, she enjoys daily outdoor adventures around Anchorage and beyond with her yellow lab, Phoebe.
