Our Team

Dr. Stephen Zografos

Dr. Zografos graduated from Washington State University in 1984 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology (Pre-med back in the day). He then attended the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic graduating with high honors in 1988. California was nice with the sun and beaches but he and his wife were packed up and ready to head home to the Pacific Northwest the day after graduation.

He has extensive clinical experience and postgraduate training in Orthopedics, Rehabilitation, Sports Injuries, functional assessment, and myofascial release. He is credentialed in a variety of leading edge evaluation and treatment methods with an emphasis on function. He has learned from the best in a variety of disciplines including chiropractic, osteopathy and physical therapy, blending his approach to what works best for a speedy return to activity. He works with a wide range of patients (a true family practice) from sofa surfers to elite athletes and every thing in-between. 

Dr. Zografos and his wife Debbie were born and raised in Washington (Spokane), living and working in Kent for over thirty years. They have been married for 36 years and have two grown sons both of whom live in Eastern Washington (they like the sun!). He enjoys fly-fishing, pickleball, and working out as his favorite past times when not in the office or at a seminar.  

Elizabeth Tipikin, Administration

Elizabeth was born in Oregon, where she finished K-8th grade. In the year 2000, at just 15 years old, she moved to Siberia, Russia with her aunt and cousins.They lived in a Russian Orthodox village without electricity or running water. It was basically in the middle of nowhere in the Siberian taiga. Life there was comparable to Pioneer days in the old frontier. The environment was extremely harsh.

All the work was manual labor, but this is where she acquired many life skills that have served her later in life. Unfortunately, she never had the opportunity to further her education.

In 2016, Elizabeth returned to America and earned her GED. The following year she became a licensed massage therapist and worked at Kent Sport and Spine from 2017-2020. She has always worked several jobs at a time, a habit she continues to this day. If she is not in the office, she is making bath products, massaging, remodeling, cooking, or planning the next event. She likes challenges and gets things done! Being bored is not something that happens often. Sunday is typically a rest day for Elizabeth and her fiancé’ Scott. They make time to go hiking together, watch movies or spend time with friends and family. They want to someday travel the world and are working hard to get there.
