About

Dr. Young is a native of Oakland, CA. He grew up cross country running and riding his bike through the redwoods of the Bay area. His undergraduate degree in Exercise Physiology is from UC Berkeley. He received clinical honors through his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Life Chiropractic College West.

While his initial experience was as a full spine chiropractor, he quickly became intrigued with the NUCCA technique. Since then, he has fully embraced upper cervical care, and has successfully completed the challenging 300-hour Diplomate program in Craniocervical Junction Procedures (DCCJP) through the International Chiropractic Association. He is also Level 2 Certified in NUCCA Procedures & Protocols.

Through hard work, dedication, and community service he earned the honor of Eagle Scout rank through the Boy Scouts of America. Dr. Young continues to serve by being the volunteer chiropractor for homeless youth for San Diego’s Urban Street Angels. He visits their campus and adjusts the program’s participants on a weekly basis. You can find him cycling around the city on his personal time, as he enjoys all things exercise.

Dr. Tapia experienced NUCCA Spinal Care as a patient before she graduated from chiropractic school. She quickly became an advocate for this specialty chiropractic technique as she saw patient after patient get help and relief. She learned several upper cervical techniques but came back to NUCCA as it was a lifesaver for her own personal health.

She completed the post-graduate Academy of Chiropractic Philosophers Program through Sherman College of Chiropractic after completing her doctorate from Life Chiropractic College West. She was honored as the Outstanding Graduate for her Bachelor’s degree in Human Nutrition at San Diego State University and also holds a Master’s degree in Education.

She draws on her prior career experience as a science teacher at Sweetwater High School, and from working at the diet office at Alvarado Hospital. She also leans on her prior pharmaceutical industry experience to better help patients with their health. On her personal time, she enjoys gardening, reading great books, and hiking with her dog, Charlie. She is fluent in Spanish as she is originally from Mazatlan, Mexico but has called San Diego home for over 40 years.

Joselyn was born and raised in sunny San Diego and enjoys meeting new people. She loves chiropractic and continually learning more about upper cervical care, NUCCA Spinal Care, Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression, as well as health and wellness in general.

She loves working with patients and hearing how chiropractic has improved their quality of life. She strives to brighten up everyone’s day while providing the best customer service experience possible while managing the front desk. Her philosophy is to treat people as she would like to be treated offering patients the highest level of care.

Outside of work, she loves experiencing new cultures and food. She also loves to travel, appreciates all things related to design and fashion and listening to great music. Joselyn looks forward to meeting you, getting to know you and welcoming you to Intouch.

Kayla, who recently moved to San Diego from the Pacific Northwest, is loving this new city. You can find her and her husband enjoying a local coffee shop or soaking up the sun at the beach on their free time. She also enjoys a good book and cooking something up for family and friends.
