Encinitas Chiropractor, Dr. Michelle Binkowski

My Discovery to the Wonders of Chiropractic

Dr. Michelle Binkowski with young patient.

The doctors could not figure out what to do with her persistent headaches and why they came on so spontaneously. As it turns out, my sister was involved in a bicycle accident and hit her head which lead us to discover the wonders of chiropractic. It was the Chiropractic Doctor who was able to help her in a few treatments and heal her completely!

My Chiropractic Journey

I remember the first time I saw a chiropractic treatment. I thought "wow!", I didn't know the body could go in that position, make that noise and make you feel like new! I was inspired and since then I have always been drawn to the healing arts. Observing surgery in my teen years and exploring the marvelous ways the body heals despite our trauma and poor care, I was inspired to teach and heal people to promote the best health they could have, through a holistic approach.

Chiropractic Education

While my undergraduate degree is in sports medicine, my chiropractic degree has allowed me to enhance my knowledge base and refine my skills to treat professional athletes in various sports. The value of having a flexible and fully functioning spine can only truly be appreciated when you are limited from performing at the level you have been accustomed to. One patient comes to mind, who is not only a famous martial arts actor, but he also performs his own stunts. It is vitally important to his career that he maintains his health, especially through chiropractic care.

A Chiropractor of Golfers

Since my experience is in sports medicine, cranial and spinal trauma and energy medicine, the patient who feels especially nurtured in my practice is the golfer. The game requires great mind over matter concentration, persistent skill and stamina, flexibility, strength and power and full body participation. I have had great success in treating many golfers and typical injuries that occur. The female golfer can have different injuries than the male and thus providing individual care is what we specialize in! From nutritional support, to stretching, strengthening and power exercises, to balance and spinal care, we make your care specific to your needs.

I truly enjoy golfing and networking on the golf course. As an assistant professor at the university of Health Sciences, I am constantly challenged to stay on the cutting edge and I really enjoy sharing my experiences and passion for the profession. Along with that pleasure is giving back to the community. I have organized charity events and fund raisers and will continue to serve those in rural areas of the world as a missionary doctor.

A Little About Me

Flexibility, proper nutrition and strength are essential to me, my spiritual, mental, physical function and performance! Chiropractic to me is not about back pain. It is a form of Eastern medicine that promotes optimum function, maximizes healing, creates harmony and balance in the body and allows me to live drug free, with passion and longevity. Of course I live the holistic lifestyle--how could I pass this up?
