Dive into the benefits of Chiropractic with Dr. Julio

Chiropractor. Community Advocate. Traveler. Diver. And a firm believer that healthcare should feel personal.

Hi, I'm Dr. Julio, chiropractor and founder of Meraki Chiropractic.

I created Meraki because I wanted to build something that felt different—a place where patients feel heard, where care isn't rushed or cookie-cutter, and where the goal isn't to sell you a lifetime of treatment.

The word Meraki means to do something with love, passion, creativity, and soul. That's exactly what I wanted this practice to represent.

As a Puerto Rican and bilingual chiropractor, I'm especially proud to provide care in both English and Español and help make chiropractic care more accessible to Indianapolis' Spanish-speaking community.

My Approach to Chiropractic Care

I believe there's much more to chiropractic care than simply adjusting the spine.

Every patient comes in with a different body, lifestyle, history, and goal. That's why my approach combines hands-on chiropractic care with other techniques, when appropriate, including: dry needling, cupping, soft tissue therapy, spinal decompression, mobility work, rehabilitation, kinesiology taping, and recovery-focused therapies.

Sometimes an adjustment is exactly what you need. Sometimes we need to work on a muscle, improve mobility, strengthen an area, or approach the problem differently.

And I don't believe every patient automatically needs months of treatment.

My job is to listen, evaluate what's going on, explain your options, and help create a plan that makes sense for you.

Education & Professional Training

My education and continued professional training allow me to bring multiple approaches to the treatment room rather than relying on one technique for every patient.

Recognized in Our Community

I'm incredibly grateful that the work we've built at Meraki has been recognized by the Indianapolis community.

The recognition means a lot to me, but what matters most is what it represents: the relationships we've built with our patients and the community we serve.

Outside the Office

There's much more to me than chiropractic—and I think that's important.

One of my biggest passions is scuba diving. Diving has taken me around the world and given me the opportunity to meet people from around the world and experience places & environments that most people never get to see.

Whether I'm diving in remote waters, traveling somewhere new, or behind a camera trying to capture what I'm seeing, I'm naturally curious and always looking for the next experience.

That love of diving has even influenced my professional interests. I'm increasingly interested in learning more about diving medicine, movement, recovery, and the physical demands placed on divers—another example of how the things I love outside the office continue to shape the clinician I want to become.

When I'm not helping patients, you'll find me in the kitchen, cooking and baking is my other passion. There's something peaceful about it, like meditation with food. My partner and I often spend evenings hosting dinner with friends, playing card games, and enjoying good conversation. We share our home with Luna, our cat, who keeps us company and reminds us to slow down which is something I tell patients all the time:

The goal isn't simply to hurt less. It's to be able to keep doing the things that make your life yours.

That's what Meraki is ultimately about.
