Dr. Ilan Green is originally from the San Francisco Bay Area. He grew up playing various sports including football, baseball, and basketball and experienced his fair share of injuries. His mother, Dr. Jennifer Green, is also a Doctor of Chiropractic who is currently practicing in Santa Rosa, CA. As a result, Ilan was fortunate enough to experience the benefits of Chiropractic care for the majority of his life while frequently finding himself on his mother’s table being treated following rough games.
His love of sports and his exposure to a hands-on approach toward healthcare encouraged him to seek out a career where he could help others who share the love of movement. When looking into fields of study for his undergraduate degree he found Kinesiology, which focuses on the science of human movement. Ilan then went on to obtain his BS in Kinesiology from California State University Northridge in Los Angeles, CA.
Shortly after graduating he became a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association before working on the Strength and Conditioning staff for Los Angeles Pierce College.
Ilan then made the decision to continue in his educational journey by attending Palmer College of Chiropractic West in San Jose, CA where he obtained his Doctorate of Chiropractic degree. While at Palmer he gained experience treating patients in the campus outpatient clinic while spending his free time volunteering with the Sports Council treating both amateur and professional athletes at sporting events all around the Bay Area.
Dr. Ilan enjoys treating athletes of all levels of competition (recreational to professional), weightlifters, CrossFitters, endurance athletes and weekend warriors. He aspires to one day complete a triathlon, but admittedly needs to learn to swim much (much) better. Above all he enjoys seeing his patients achieve their own goals and aspirations.
