My journey into chiropractic care began with personal experience — years of sports and car accident injuries left me with chronic pain that conventional treatments couldn’t resolve. After earning my bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and working in orthopedic research at UC Davis, I realized I wanted to help people more directly. My search for a lasting solution led me to chiropractic school, where hands-on training transformed not only my understanding of health but also my own body. As my pain faded and my vitality returned, I knew I’d found my purpose. In 2018, I opened my own practice in South San Francisco, focusing on the Gonstead Method, a biomechanically precise approach that finds and corrects the root cause of pain. Around the same time, I accepted a position as an associate professor at the chiropractic college where I trained, allowing me to stay on the cutting edge of research and technique while mentoring the next generation of chiropractors. Today, balancing patient care and education keeps me deeply engaged in both the science and art of chiropractic healing. My mission is simple — to help every patient achieve long-term relief, balance, and optimal wellness through natural, non-invasive care.
A Chiropractic Evaluation is performed to identify subluxations that may be contributing to pain, dysfunction, or restricted movement. This evaluation helps determine appropriate care and guides the development of a personalized treatment plan. Supportive therapies, such as Cold Laser Therapy, Soft Tissue Work and Therapeutic Taping, may also be included when necessary. Cold laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses a small handheld device applied near or gently on the skin to support healing and reduce discomfort. Protective eyewear is required during treatment, and sessions typically last from 30 seconds to a few minutes, depending on the area treated. Therapeutic taping may be used to further support your care and is applied based on your specific needs. Taping techniques can help relieve pain (neurosensory), reduce swelling or bruising (microcirculatory), or provide support and encourage proper movement (structural).
