Meet Dr. Ellenita Salko
Education
Dr. Ellenita Salko is the founder of ElleWell. She graduated from Cornell University with a bachelor’s degree in microbiology before pursuing her chiropractic education at New York Chiropractic College.
After earning her Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 2003, she completed her internship at the Bethesda Naval Hospital.
Embracing Santa Fe
Ready for a change, Dr. Elle came west, settling in Santa Fe. She immediately fell in love with the community and the stunning landscape.
Starting from a single room in her home, Dr. Elle began offering chiropractic care, nutrition, and functional medicine. Her dedication and expertise quickly attracted a growing number of patients. By 2015, she expanded to our Baca Street office, and due to continued growth and demand, moved to our current location in 2021. Today, what began as a humble home office has transformed into a thriving multi-disciplinary practice, serving tens of thousands of patients.
Passion for Patient Care
As a chiropractor, she is very hands on and uses a combination of diversified manual adjustments, drop table, and myofascial release, along with low force methods such as traction, blocking and Impulse® adjusting. Dr. Elle loves educating patients on how their bodies work, demystifying their health conditions so they can make choices that support better health and wellness.
Meeting You Where You Are
Dr. Elle is caring, supportive and nonjudgmental. She cares for people of all walks of life who want to take their health to the next level—whether that means getting out of pain, completing a triathlon or anything in between.
Dr. Elle’s patients include athletes, people with acute or chronic pain, cancer survivors, patients with low energy or headaches—even those with Parkinson’s or MS, whose determination and appreciation for life are beyond inspiring.
Meet Your Unique Health Goals
Dr. Elle is happy to work with patients who just want to get out of pain and feel better—and she also loves the challenge to dive in deeper with patients who strive to make comprehensive life and health changes.
