Meet Dr. Tiltmann

Kai Tiltmann

Dr. Kai Tiltmann, D.C.

Dr. Tiltmann graduate from Palmer College of Chiropractic West in 1998 and practiced in San Jose and San Francisco.

He became a McGill Method Master clinician in 2018 and now only provides the McGill Method for people with chronic low back, hip, and extremity symptoms that have not responded to other treatments and procedures.

Since most of the work can be completed in a single 3-hour in-person visit, he can be seen in four cities: San Francisco, and once a quarter in, Denver, Austin and New York City. Zoom visits are offered, but not a replacement for the in-person session and for best results follow up visits are recommended at 3-, 6-, 12- and 24-month intervals.

His Back Pain Story:

In 2016, Dr. Tiltmann suffered a severe low back injury at the gym from incorrect training concepts and techniques. As a chiropractor with 18 years of experience he should have known better and now he does. He could hardly walk and closed his clinic for weeks. All the typical low back treatment failed including chiropractic therapy, soft tissue work, medications etc.

Then out of frustration he went to the web and discovered the book 'Low Back Disorders - Evidence Based Prevention and Rehabilitation' by Dr. Stuart McGill, PhD. While reading it, the cause and fix for his back problems were revealed. That experience, along with years of chiropractic knowledge, enhanced by the special teachings of Dr. Stuart McGill, provided the wisdom needed to become a McGill Method Master Clinician. He is now pain free and fully functional and participates in all activities without restriction including his latest sport - kiteboarding.
