Meet Dr. Austin

Chiropractic Neurologist and Functional Medicine Physician

Dr. Austin Tchikatilov is the Founder of High Vibe Living Chiropractic, where he helps children and families unlock their full health potential through nervous system-focused care, root-cause healing, and evidence-backed health strategies. He posesses a unique blend of expertise in chiropractic neurology, pediatric neurodevelopment, functional medicine, acupuncture, and neuromuscular rehabilitation. Dr. Austin specializes in supporting children with neurodevelopmental challenges, anxiety, sensory sensitivities, behavioral issues, traumatic brain injuries, and nervous system dysregulation, while also helping adults improve brain function, balance hormones, and optimize their energy levels.

Before entering clinical practice, Dr. Tchikatilov spent over eight years in the health and wellness industry as a trainer, nutritionist, and health coach, helping individuals improve their physical performance, metabolic health, and quality of life. His diverse background gives him a comprehensive understanding of how movement, nutrition, lifestyle, and neurological function work together to create lasting health outcomes.

A lifelong athlete, Dr. Austin played collegiate basketball and later competed professionally in pickleball, achieving a world ranking among the top 50 players. His experience in elite athletics reinforced his appreciation for performance-based healthcare, functional movement, psychological fitness, and the body's remarkable ability to adapt and heal when given the right support.

Dr. Tchikatilov's professional journey was shaped by his own personal health experiences. His passion for holistic healthcare was deeply influenced by his own journey overcoming nervous system dysregulation as a young child after a traumatic birth and healing from multiple concussions sustained during his teenage years. Through his recovery, he discovered the life-changing impact of chiropractic neurology and was inspired to dedicate his career to learning the intricacies of the brain-body connection.

 His clinical approach integrates neurological rehabilitation, functional medicine, chiropractic care, acupuncture, and lifestyle optimization to address the underlying causes of health concerns rather than simply managing symptoms. In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Tchikatilov has appeared on multiple podcasts discussing topics including breathwork, integrative nutrition, ADHD, autism, chiropractic care, and nervous system regulation. He is passionate about educating families and empowering individuals with practical tools to improve brain health, resilience, and long-term wellness.

At the heart of Dr. Austin's philosophy is the belief that every person possesses an innate capacity to heal. He believes that true health begins with a well-regulated nervous system and a commitment to uncovering the root causes of dysfunction. Through High Vibe Living Chiropractic, he is dedicated to helping children develop optimally, supporting parents on their health journeys, and creating healthier, more vibrant families and communities.

Outside the office, Dr. Tchikatilov enjoys spending time with his wife, exploring the outdoors, staying active in his community, and continuing his lifelong pursuit of learning about cellular health and healing. His mission is simple: to help people reconnect with their body's natural healing potential so that they can experience  high vibe living!
