Academic Background and Early Career
Dr. Dennis Sullivan grew up in California, earning his Bachelor and Master degrees in the study of Kinesiology (Exercise Physiology and Biomechanics of Human Motion) at UCLA. Prior to coming to Oregon to study chiropractic, he was the Director of Exercise at the then world-renowned Pritikin Longevity Center, a cardiac diet and rehabilitation facility in Santa Monica, California, and was also a massage therapist in private practice.
A Calling to Chiropractic
Dr. Dennis Sullivan was drawn to chiropractic after having seen a good friend healed by a chiropractor following two car accidents. Witnessing the benefits of chiropractic therapy, combined with his earlier career choices, Dr. Sullivan felt called to the profession.
Nearly Four Decades of Chiropractic Practice
He earned his Doctorate in Chiropractic here in Portland in 1986 and has been in continuous practice for nearly 40 years—first in Arizona for 5 years, then returning to Oregon in 1992.
Educating Future Chiropractors
Beyond his work at Woodstock Chiropractic, Dr. Sullivan serves as adjunct faculty at the University of Western States, participating in their Community-Based Internship and Preceptor programs to help train the next generation of chiropractors.
