I was born in San Francisco in 1972 and I have lived most of my life between the US and Spain. I am a chiropractor and a veteran of the United States Navy. I served my country as a medical corpsman until I injured my back and discovered chiropractic. Whithin seconds of my first chiropractic adjustment my leg and low back pain improved dramaticaly. This led me to persue chiropractic with the help of the Veterans Administration. I graduated from Western States Chiropractic College in 2003. You can check out my resume here.

The Chiropractor's Integral Role in Multidisciplinary Healthcare
Chiropractors are health care professionals who focus on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. Their unique expertise makes them a valuable and often essential component of a collaborative healthcare environment, particularly one addressing pain, rehabilitation, and performance.
1. Distinct but Complementary Expertise
The chiropractor’s primary skill set focuses on spinal manipulative therapy (adjustments), mobilization, and the diagnosis of neuro-musculoskeletal conditions. This perspective is highly complementary to other professions:
- Compared to a Physiotherapist (PT): While both professions treat the musculoskeletal system, PTs typically focus more on rehabilitation through exercise, movement, and physical modalities (like heat or electrical stimulation). Chiropractors often emphasize restoring proper joint function and alignment first, which can make subsequent PT exercises more effective and less painful.
- Compared to a Personal Trainer (PTn): PTns specialize in fitness, strength, and conditioning. They are not licensed to diagnose or treat injuries. A chiropractor can diagnose the underlying cause of a client’s pain (e.g., a sacroiliac joint dysfunction) and safely treat it, then collaborate with the PTn to modify the exercise program so the client can continue to train without risking re-injury.
2. Benefits of Collaboration
Working together, chiropractors, physiotherapists, and personal trainers form a comprehensive continuum of care that addresses all phases of a patient’s journey
3. Enhancing Patient Outcomes
A coordinated approach leads to better and faster results for the patient:
- Reduced Pain and Increased Mobility: The chiropractor’s adjustments can quickly reduce pain and improve joint range of motion, making a physiotherapist’s strengthening exercises easier to perform correctly.
- Seamless Transition to Wellness: Once the acute injury is managed, the patient can smoothly transition from the PT’s advanced rehab exercises to the PTn’s personalized fitness program, ensuring the treatment gains are maintained for the long term.
- Integrated Injury Prevention: Chiropractors and PTs can identify postural or biomechanical weaknesses. This critical information is shared directly with the Personal Trainer, who can then build a truly customized preventative program (e.g., focusing on hip flexor flexibility or rotator cuff stability) to prevent the injury from happening again.
- Triage and Safety: In a fitness setting, if a client reports a new pain, the Personal Trainer can immediately refer to the in-house chiropractor for a diagnosis rather than guessing or continuing an inappropriate exercise, which prevents further injury and keeps the client safe.
Conclusion: A Holistic Model of Care
In a modern healthcare system, no single professional can fully address the complexity of the musculoskeletal system. The integration of chiropractors provides a vital, hands-on, diagnostic, and biomechanical focus that sets the foundation for successful rehabilitation (Physiotherapist) and long-term wellness/performance (Personal Trainer). This multidisciplinary model represents a holistic, patient-centered approach that maximizes recovery, minimizes recurrence, and promotes overall health.
