While in high school, Dr. Schulman was a football player. He ended up having neck pain, low back pain and headaches from his sport. His migraines would get so bad that he would be bedridden. Painkillers accompanied him everywhere, and he could hardly get through a day without them. A friend suggested Dr. Schulman try chiropractic. Desperate for a solution, he decided to see if the chiropractor could help.
The improvement Dr. Schulman saw from care was so impactful that he threw out his bottle of painkillers. He’d always been into health and fitness and made it his career by becoming a personal trainer. The clients he helped at the gym would often suffer from injuries, but he felt limited by how he could assist them. The next logical step was to enroll at chiropractic college.
Dr. Schulman attended Life University in 1998 just outside of Atlanta, Georgia. There, he took courses such as anatomy, biochemistry, physics, X-ray reading and various chiropractic techniques. In class, he performed his first adjustment on a fellow student. Afterward, with the positive feedback he was given, he felt confident in his ability to help people. He received a Doctor of Chiropractic as a cum laude (high honors) graduate from Life University.
The postdoctoral education Dr. Schulman has includes courses such as Triaging the Injured, Caring for the Trauma Patient, and Head Trauma and Brain Injury. To further care for people who have been in accidents, he became certified in whiplash injury at the Spine Research Institute of San Diego. His additional qualifications include
Board-Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician®
Active Release Therapy® certified
Kinesio Tape® certified
He is a member of The Academy of Chiropractic and the American Academy of Medical Legal Practitioners. Both organizations provide the latest research on the diagnosis and resulting treatment of spine-related conditions.
Life Outside of Chiropractic
Dr. Schulman has been married since 2002. He and his wife have three daughters, two of whom are twins. When he isn’t at Chiropractic Fitness, Dr. Schulman likes to exercise and spend time with his family.

“I have endured an 18 year headache due to a car accident. I’ve visited multiple Chiropractors over the years with no change to my issue. I’m now seeing there is light at the end of this dark tunnel. The care that I am receiving is unmatched. I no longer have a constant headache. I recommend coming here for Chiropractic care if you desire to get better.”

“I found Dr. Schumann at the Taste of Charlotte a few weeks back, and it has completely turned everything around for the better. I have had chronic pain in my low back, hip, leg, and groin since November of 2025 (~7 months unresolved). I went to orthopedic doctors, physiologists, physical therapists and more in that time frame — no one was able to give me a concrete or definite source of my pain — if anything, I was thrown around a million different diagnoses and treatments. I’m a healthy, active 26 y/o and had no prior injury. Very quickly (when I say fast, I mean with scans evaluated during our FIRST consult) Dr. Schumann was able to identify that I’ve had a pinched nerve at my S1. I’ve been following his plan for the last two weeks and have already felt relief that I completely forgot exists. I can proudly say that I am no longer in chronic pain, while I experience minimal flares as we work to fully resolve the issue. I plan to continue treatment until my spine is realigned. Whether you’re in need of immediate relief, long term relief, or someone that will affirm you are not crazy and there is a source to your pain — Chiropractic Fitness is the place to go (and Dr. Schulman’s team is absolutely phenomenal and so helpful).”

“Great experience at this chiropractic clinic. The staff was friendly, the office was clean and organized, and the chiropractor took the time to explain everything clearly. I felt noticeable relief after just a few visits. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality care.”

“Thank you, Dr. Schulman, for helping me! Just a few short weeks ago, I was using a walker for the pain. Now, I’m not using a walker and I can even roll over! Amazing!”

“I had a severe neck/back fusion 8 years ago. If you ever contemplate spinal surgery, avoid it like the plague. The surgery was medically successful but now I am on permanent disability due to chronic pain from the surgery. I have done my due diligence for any kind of relief to no avail. This includes a 3.5 week pain rehab program at the Mayo clinic. Approx 2 weeks ago I was doing more research and came across a technique called Active Release Treatment which is directed at breaking up scar tissue which is what is causing 90% of my pain. I did more research which included talking to a friend who is a chiropractor and confirmed it is a treatment I should definitely try. I searched for doctors/clinics that offered this treatment as it requires certification to perform the treatment. I found Dr. Shulman online and did my research on his background. He has been practicing this for 13 years and all of his reviews were nothing but positive so I made an appointment. I have a very serious case which takes alot of treatment but at this point, all I can say is I wish I knew about this 8 years ago and my life would be so much better. I highly recommend seeing Dr Shulman if you are having any form of post spinal surgery muscular issues. Starting week 5 today and the amount of relief I have gotten is incredible. Dont pass this up it it describes your issues. BTW, he is a NY Giants and Yankees fan but I can't hold that against him. Lol.”
