About Dr. Spillman
Dr. Samuel Spillman attained his chiropractic degree in 2008
from Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, Oregon.His undergraduate study was spent at Miami
University of Ohio where he earned dual bachelor's degrees in Interdisciplinary
Philosophy and International Studies in 2001.
Dr. Spillman's introduction to the science of chiropractic indirectly resulted from a serious back injury he obtained
while practicing the martial arts he had studied from a young age.Prior to his chiropractic career, Dr.
Spillman immersed himself in Japanese culture and martial arts, which not only
influenced his undergraduate course of study, but led him to Japan following
college. After teaching English in the small village of Joge, he worked in
international relations for the city of Saga. During this time he studied
aikido, karate, judo and other martial arts while also participating in and
observing tournaments. It was at this time he obtained the injury through which
he was introduced to chiropractic treatment. This
led to a change of career and a return to the United States to complete his
pre-med requirements before enrolling in Western States Chiropractic College.
Dr. Spillman retains the principles of rigor and discipline from his background
in martial arts, which in turn influence his appreciation of the complex
machine that is the human body.His
experience leads him to be especially interested in sports medicine and the treatment
of acute injuries although his practice also emphasizes whole-body wellness and
the prevention of injuries through appropriate exercise and healthy diet.An
avid fitness proponent, Dr. Spillman competes regularly in obstacle course
races like the Tough Mudder and Rugged Maniac and continues his training in the martial arts.
Along with traditional chiropractic and physiotherapy techniques, Dr. Spillman
specializes in soft tissue and muscular injury and therapy. He is fully
certified in both the Graston Technique and Active Release Techniques.
He moved to Charlottesville to begin practicing; he chose it,
simply, because he thinks it's a great place to live.
