IIThe Turning Point

It started with his own body.

From a tennis scholarship to a calling in alignment, his path to becoming The OC Chiropractor started on his own spine.

Before he was “The OC Chiropractor,” Alex was a scholarship tennis player at Portland State, and a young athlete full of the aches you learn to ignore. The first adjustment that gave him his game back also gave him his calling.

In 2016 he earned his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Southern California University of Health Sciences and made a quiet promise: no one should have to accept pain as normal. Ten years later, people travel from across the world to keep that promise with him.

“My purpose is to touch lives, to give people back physical and emotional healing.

What people remember
“What people love most is my confidence in my practice.”

Dr. Alex

Ten years in, hundreds of patients a day across the practice, every spine X-rayed first. That certainty, and a genuine love for the work, is what turns a first visit into a family.

The Initial Scan

Your alignment, revealed.

Before the first adjustment, a full-body scan maps your posture from head to spine, so nothing’s left to guess.
