Dr. Nicholas Porterfield
Chiropractic Physician

Dr. Nicholas Porterfield received his undergraduate degree in kinesiology with a specialty in athletic training from California State University, Hayward. It was during his undergraduate studies that Dr. Porterfield decided that he wanted to take his knowledge of athletic injuries to another level and attend chiropractic school.

Dr. Porterfield attended Life Chiropractic College West in Hayward, CA. In his time at Life West, Dr. Porterfield excelled in the classroom as well as in the clinical setting. He also became fully certified in Active Release Techniques (A.R.T.) while in school. He graduated in 2007 as one of the top students in his class and was honored with the Clinical Excellence Award which is given to the top overall student and clinician in the graduating class.

Shortly after graduating, Dr. Porterfield opened a practice in the San Francisco Bay Area. Aside from his practice, he was also apart of the Bay Area Sports Chiropractors, a group of chiropractors who attend and treat athletes at the top marathons and triathlons in Northern California. After three years of practicing in the Bay Area, Dr. Porterfield was asked to join All Star Health. Having enjoyed his previous time in the Valley of the Sun, Dr. Porterfield gladly accepted to offer to join the All Star Health team. Not only is Dr. Porterfield the chief treating chiropractor in the Gilbert office, he also enjoys working on some of the most elite athletes in the world at Athlete’s Performance twice a week in Phoenix.
