Dr. Christina has been passionate about animals since childhood. She spent countless weekends volunteering with the Michigan Animal Adoption Network, an organization co-founded by her father decades ago. Dr. Christina earned her undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Michigan, followed by her Doctorate in Chiropractic from Life University in Georgia. She then completed her certification in animal chiropractic at Options for Animals College of Animal Chiropractic in Kansas. Board-certified by the International Veterinary Chiropractic Association (IVCA), she founded Advanced Animal Chiropractic in 2014 and remains one of only a few IVCA-certified practitioners in Michigan.
In 2017, her husband, Dr. Grant, also became board-certified and joined the practice. Together, they have provided chiropractic care to thousands of animals.
Most recently, Dr. Christina was appointed as an acting member of the IVCA board, an honor that allows her to contribute further to the advancement of the animal chiropractic profession.
Dr. Grant Tully is a licensed human chiropractor and board-certified animal chiropractor through the International Veterinary Chiropractic Association (IVCA).
A Florida native, Dr. Grant has adapted to Michigan’s winters, drawn by its beautiful summers. As an active athlete throughout his childhood and into college, he experienced multiple injuries that introduced him to chiropractic care. The rapid recovery and enhanced performance he experienced through adjustments inspired him to pursue chiropractic as a career, blending his passion for healing with his love of science.
Dr. Grant earned his undergraduate degree in Biomedical Science from Auburn University and his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Life University in Atlanta, where he met his future wife, Dr. Christina. Her enthusiasm for animals and her home state profoundly influenced him.
After a brief period in human practice focusing on neurological conditions, Dr. Grant transitioned to animal chiropractic. He completed the same postgraduate certification program as Dr. Christina at Options for Animals College of Animal Chiropractic in Kansas and joined Advanced Animal Chiropractic, where he now dedicates his practice to animal care.
Together with Dr. Christina, he has provided chiropractic treatment to thousands of animals.
Dr. Christina and Dr. Grant have multiple rescue hounds at any given moment, currently the crew consists of Pongo, Slinky Dog, and Woody. They are most passionate about their fur babies and look for any excuse to spend their spare time snuggling them. They love to travel and love it even more when the pups can come along. Between the two of them football really is a second passion and they’ve spent many a weekend cheering (or cursing) their beloved teams, the Michigan Wolverines and Auburn Tigers. They also support the Detroit Lions, which just goes to show their dedication to those often deemed a lost cause.
The doctors have always had a passion for animals and have dreamed of dedicating their lives to their betterment. Dr. Christina and Dr. Grant are not veterinarians and do not practice veterinary medicine. They acknowledge chiropractic as an adjunct to veterinary medicine, not a replacement. As such, they work by veterinary referral in accordance to Michigan Codes and Regulations.
