Dr. Ilya Skolnikoff, a San Francisco native, lives and practices in San Rafael, California close to his family. With a father who is a psychiatrist and a brother who is a marriage and family therapist, he was drawn to the health professions. Dr. Ilya became interested in chiropractic, acupuncture and healing in the early 90’s after having worked for an environmental and health company for many years. At that time he was suffering from burn out, toxicity, and poor dietary habits. Through work with environmental and health concerns, Dr. Ilya was able to meet numerous chiropractors and other health care professionals. He received chiropractic care that was so effective that his health and energy were completely restored. With this dramatic health improvement, he became fascinated with chiropractic. Dr. Ilya was also impressed with the level of health and happiness enjoyed by the chiropractors who treated him.
