Nicholas Bullo, DC, CCSP
Dr. Nicholas Bullo is a Sports Chiropractor and the founder of Sidekick Chiropractic in Irvine, California. He’s passionate about helping athletes and active adults recover from pain, move better, and perform at their best—so they can get back to doing what they love.
Dr. Bullo earned his Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Fitness from California State University, Long Beach, where his passion for performance and rehabilitation began. While there, he trained the women’s crew team and spent four years working as a physical therapy aide in a sports medicine clinic, gaining valuable hands-on experience helping athletes return to competition stronger than before.
He later earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Southern California University of Health Sciences in 2023. During his time there, he completed internships at multiple sports medicine clinics and at California State University, Los Angeles’ student health center. He also volunteered at the annual AIDS Life Cycle, where he provided care to cyclists throughout their 545-mile journey down California.
Drawing from his background in fitness, biomechanics, and sports rehab, Dr. Bullo focuses on treating the root cause of pain rather than just the symptoms. His personalized, one-on-one approach blends adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and corrective exercise to help patients regain confidence, strength, and control over their health.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Bullo practices Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai, enjoys Olympic weightlifting and golf, and loves spending time with his friends and family.
