Historyn 1978 my first son, Matthew was born. At the same time I became interested in alternative health care. I took a number of courses in Traditional Chinese Medicine for the general public on what was, in the West at that time, a new, interesting, and novel approach to health. For no apparent reason, I developed knee pain that inhibited my ability to walk, run, or climb stairs. Visits to several orthopedists left them scratching their heads and me still incapacitated. A friend suggested I see a chiropractor, which I knew nothing about. He said my knee problem arose from a torque in my pelvis caused by carrying my growing son around on one hip, resulting in a sprain of my sacroiliac joint and a muscle imbalance in my thigh. He corrected my pelvic imbalance and my knee pain of several months duration was miraculously and quickly gone. I was impressed and decided then and there to become a chiropractor. After three years at Palmer Chiropractic School I graduated in 1984.SpecialtiesI have been a practicing chiropractor in Santa Cruz for over 25 years and I continue to enjoy every individual I have the opportunity to treat.
