Meet Grand Junction chiropractor Cullen Ferdarko

Cullen M. Ferdarko, B.S., D.C.

Dr. Cullen is a former martial artist turned chiropractor. He has a decorated background as a martial artist as he succeeded in making it to a 2nd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. During his time as a martial artist, he learned the meaning of integrity and discipline. After a bad injury during a tournament, Dr. Cullen turned to his father, Dr. Mark Ferdarko, for help in treating his injury. Since that day, he has become enthralled at the idea of being able to give back to his community. During his education, Dr. Cullen spent his weekends helping the kids of his neighborhood by offering free martial arts training and exercise programs. Dr. Cullen graduated from Life University in Marietta, Georgia at the beginning of 2021. At graduation, he was awarded the honor of Cum Laude and the Award of Integrity. Since graduation, Dr. Cullen moved to Fruita, Colorado and enjoys spending time with his family and volunteering at Harmony Acres Equestrian Center.

Drs. Mark and Cullen are extremely passionate about helping each and every person to reach their God-given health potential through specific chiropractic care. Not only does chiropractic help with musculoskeletal issues but also allows the body to heal on a much deeper level, from the inside out through correction of the nervous system. While the improvement of symptoms is important, long term optimal health is our ultimate goal at Empowered Chiropractic.
