My Journey to Chiropractic

My first exposure to chiropractic was going with my mom as a boy and watching her receive care. It intrigued me to see my mom walk in with a bad mood due to a painfully stiff neck and walk out with very little pain and a much improved demeanor.

Then, as a young boy I started getting headaches and neck pain that brought my quality of life down. Chiropractic was the answer I needed and it continues to benefit my life today. Western medicine has its place but we must trust our bodies to perform. Just without interference.

Looking back at yesteryear it was a no brainer for me to get involved with chiropractic. I enjoy people from every walk of life and have the desire to help individuals feel better. I like to use my hands and stretch my mind to new and exciting opportunities.

Chiropractic Education

After graduating from high school, I completed my prerequisites for chiropractic college at Valley College. Then, after researching different chiropractic schools, I decided to go to Pasadena College of Chiropractic. I felt this was the most well rounded college for me. The students were friendly and the campus was nice. They taught a variety of adjusting techniques that I knew would help me in my career choice.

Chiropractic Philosophy

Chiropractic is about so much more than just back and neck pain relief. It really is about health and wellness.

Health starts with yourself. Along with keeping your nervous system functioning properly through chiropractic adjustments, it is important to eat wholesome food that is live (organic) and delicious. It is also vital to exercise. Without it your body cannot get the motion it so desperately needs to work correctly. You must also give attention to your mental, emotional and spiritual health. These like food and exercise must be worked on daily. I work at managing this through out the week. Taking quiet time to reflect and mediate on the goodness of life along with a good family will help life to run smoother, with less peaks and valleys.

At Active Care Chiropractic, we focus on all four of these aspects of health and see great results. It is such a pleasure to see patients get back function that they had lost years ago and that they thought they would have to live with. We had a patient who originally came to us with complaints of pain in his neck, back, right shoulder and arm. As we started treating him, it came out that he suffered from extreme headaches that were so bad that it would incapacitate him to a point of bed rest. His M.D. started him on self induced injections he would give himself 1 to 2 times a month to relieve the devastating pain.

Through chiropractic adjustments and our focus on whole health and wellness, his headaches became less intense and less frequent. WOW! What a quality of life change that was.

A Little About Me

I am a family man with an awesome wife of 20 years and a teenage daughter who is an incredible human. Weekends are consumed with family activities and training our Golden Retriever puppy. Lots can be learned from a wonderful dog.

Short trips and vacations are fun and exciting for us. Traveling to see the world and its beauty has always been an adventure. Places like Banff, Canada are so incredibly beautiful.

I also enjoy getting involved in my local community and in the chiropractic community. I am a proud member of the California Chiropractic Association, CCA.
