Meet Dr. Gary Hatlen, D.C., CCN, CPN

Phoenix chiropractor since 1989 — formulator of the Rapid Relief & Recovery Protocol and founder of the Brain Spine Posture Academy.

Dr. Gary Hatlen has dedicated his life to advancing health and wellness through innovative chiropractic care and cutting-edge techniques. He began his academic journey at Montana State University studying Architecture before shifting focus to the sciences at the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater, where he studied physics, chemistry, and biology.

His passion for helping others led him to graduate Cum Laude from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Iowa in 1988. Since 1989, Dr. Hatlen has been practicing chiropractic in Phoenix, Arizona.

A post-graduate neurology course in 1993 ignited a passion for the brain and nervous system, inspiring Dr. Hatlen to pursue advanced certifications including Certified Chiropractic Neurology (CCN) and Certified Postural Neurology (CPN).

As the formulator of the Rapid Relief and Recovery Protocol, Dr. Hatlen has developed a system of care that accelerates the healing response and pain relief. The developer of the Brain Body Balance Blueprint, he focuses on restoring balance to the body's bioelectrical, biochemical, and biomechanical systems. His methods address the five essentials of life and health: innervation, oxygenation, hydration, nutrition, and detoxification.

In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Hatlen is the founder of the Brain Spine Posture Academy, where he has created programs to improve posture, mobility, strength, stability, flexibility and balance. He also formed Wheely Good Posture, LLC to create the exercise equipment used in the Academy.
