About Dr. Gary

Hi, I’m Dr Gary Hulin, DDS, DC,-- ‘Dr Gary” as most of my patients know me. If you’re like me, when you visit a professional for the first time you’d like to know something about them, so I thought I’d fill you in a bit.

You might be interested to know why I left a successful dental practice to become a chiropractor. After serving in the US Army Dental Corps in Germany, I opened a practice in the Lowery Medical Arts Building in St Paul, MN. After about 9 years I developed some debilitating health problems- extreme fatigue, depression, swelling of my face and tongue, an inability to concentrate, etc. No one was able to diagnose or treat the condition, and it became so severe I was forced to sell my practice.

As a dentist, I saw a lot of people with Jaw problems, so I studied an osteopathic technique known as Cranial Sacral Therapy. It offered relief to many TMJ pain and migraine sufferers, so I was open to considering less traditional treatment modalities for my own health problems. When all else failed I saw a Chiropractor known for helping people with strange/non specific symptoms like those I was experiencing. Using Applied Kinesiology, his diagnosis was that my issues stemmed from a deleterious reaction to many of the chemicals and other substances found in a dental practice. The homeopathic remedies, detoxification process, adjustments and nutritional supplements prescribed brought me back to health.

After that experience, I wanted to help others as much as he helped me.  I went back to school for my DC and completed a number of additional courses to learn more about the modalities that had given me my life back. That is how I practice today.
