Meet Dr. Kimberly Sanborn

For Dr. Kim, movement has always been at the heart of living a healthy, active life.

With a background in strength and conditioning and a lifelong passion for human performance, chiropractic care was a natural next step in her career.

Her professional journey took her around the world, including three and a half years in Australia, where she worked as part of a Women in Sport initiative, coaching elite athletes preparing for and competing in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. She later served as the Strength and Conditioning Coordinator at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, California.

Her interest in human movement also led her to Project Walk, where she worked as a Spinal Cord Injury Recovery Specialist. Using movement-based protocols grounded in the principles of neuroplasticity, she physically assisted clients with spinal cord injuries as they worked to reconnect with their limbs and maximize their functional potential. These experiences shaped her appreciation for the body’s remarkable complexity and adaptability.

Wanting to expand her ability to help others, Dr. Kim earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Port Orange, Florida. There, she met Dr. Emily and Dr. Kreg, two classmates who became close friends and, eventually, business partners. Together, they opened Gulfside Chiropractic in April 2017, building a practice rooted in friendship, collaboration, and a shared commitment to patient care.

Her philosophy is simple: Keep moving so you can keep moving.

Dr. Kim believes maintaining mobility and healthy joint function is essential to staying active and enjoying life through every decade. Drawing on her diverse background, she takes an integrative approach to chiropractic care, recognizing how the spine, muscles, tendons, and joints work together. She combines a variety of chiropractic techniques with soft tissue mobilization, tailoring care to each patient’s needs, goals, and comfort level.

While she especially enjoys working with active individuals, her goal is to help patients of all activity levels move better, feel better, and continue doing what they love. Nothing is more rewarding to her than watching patients regain confidence and return to the activities that bring them joy. With compassion, education, and a healthy dose of humor, she strives to make every patient feel comfortable and empowered in their care.

Outside the office, Dr. Kim enjoys life with her husband, Todd, and their two French Bulldogs, Dominick and Gia. When she’s not lifting weights (or convincing her friends to join her), she loves traveling, attending concerts, scuba diving, and cheering on her beloved Miami Hurricanes. Go Canes!
