Dr. Jean Hulbert, DC, LACDr. Jean Hulbert has been practicing chiropractic and acupuncture since 1995. She received her doctorate in chiropractic from Northwestern College of Chiropractic in Minnesota, and attended a three year master's level program in acupuncture at the Minnesota Institute of Acupuncture and Herbal Studies. She is the only provider in South Central Alaska with professional licenses in both chiropractic and acupuncture. Having the perspectives of both professions informs her treatment of patients whether she is providing chiropractic care or acupuncture, and the two disciplines compliment each other when combined in a session.
Dr. Hulbert loves helping people "get back in the game" so they can live their most ideal life. Although pain relief is a primary reason patients seek chiropractic and acupuncture treatment, Dr Hulbert finds her work effective in treating anxiety, depression, insomnia, digestive disorders, allergies, asthma, menstrual irregularities, and infertility. Her practice is family oriented and she enjoys providing chiropractic care and gentle acupuncture treatments for children. |
Dr Hulbert grew up in Anchorage and spent much of her childhood hiking, skiing, camping, kayaking and beach combing in remote areas of Alaska with her adventurous family. She now enjoys daily adventures around Anchorage and beyond with her yellow lab, Phoebe.
