PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:
I would like to thank you in advance for this opportunity to introduce my clinic services. My clinic, Menifee Valley Chiropractic, Decompression & Massage, has been a chiropractic office for the past 41 years in Sun City, CA. I took over this clinic in 2005. The office is located just off the 215 and McCall, behind the U.S. Post Office and BBVA Compass Bank on Bradley Ave., across from McDonalds.
I am not the typical chiropractor. In addition to my 18 years of clinical experience as a Board Certified Chiropractor, I am one of about 75 chiropractors to have been selected and approved to provide chiropractic care to military personnel on a military base. In 2009, I was selected by the Department of the Navy to provide Chiropractic treatment at the Officers Cadidate School, US Marine Corps base, Quantico,Virginia. In 2010, I transfered to Twentynine Palms Naval Hospital, U.S. Marine Corps base, CA. I am one of only about 4000 chiropractors to complete the post-graduate program Certified Chiropractic Sports Practitioner (C.C.S.P.) and then to be nationally certified by American Board of Chiropractic Sports Physicians. I also have advanced post-graduate training in the treatment of whiplash injuries and spinal rehab.
Additionally, I am one of a very few selected chiropractors to ever work as a Clinical Care Manager at American Specialty Health in San Diego, CA., the largest chiropractic HMO. While there, I provided evidenced based clinical review of proposed patient treatment, and new provider credentialing review and education on a nation level.
As a Certified Nutrition and Wellness Consultant, I am a member of the Scientific Advisory Board with Biogenesis Nutraceuticals, Inc. I have also worked for Sabre Sciences, a salivary hormone testing and bio-identical hormone creme lab made famous by Suzanne Summers.
As a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Army Illinois National Guard, I am a Veteran Affairs California Medical Center approved chiropractor an eligible to receive referrals from the Veterans Administration’s Loma Linda Medical Clinic and the Sun City Clinic. I am a provider for most insurance plans including Medicare, Prime Care and most all PPO / HMO plans. I am a member of the American Chiropractic Association.
I have practiced in and managed two of the busiest multi-discipline clinics in Chicago, IL. with daily clinical experience working alongside an Anesthesiologist/Pain Management M.D., Neurologist, Podiatrist, Naturopaths and Physical Therapists. I have also worked as a temporary / fill-in / vacation relief chiropractor, working in over 26 different clinics since 1993.
Currently, here in Sun City, CA, I treat patients of all ages using a variety of safe, effective, evidence based, chiropractic treatment techniques, including Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression for disc injuries, Cold laser therapy for arthritis and sport injuries, ArthroStim for gentle non-force manipulation, and more. Having extensive training in sports injuries, spinal rehabilitation, and clinical nutritional protocols, I regularly support my diagnosis and treatment with various medical specialists, MRI, diagnostic tests and any other necessary medical means to effectively manage patient care. These experiences have provided me with exceptional confidence and success in all aspects of patient management.
Numerous clinical studies prove chiropractic manipulation is highly effective and more cost effective for acute low back pain. And after treating thousands of patients, including many professional and semi-professional athletes, as well as infants to seniors, I know Chiropractic care is safe, gentle and effective, with a very high level of patient satisfaction. I can offer you a valuable service as a part of your overall health and wellness. I am also available for health lectures.
