Dr. Norman Deitch came to chiropractic at a late age after a successful career in the fashion industry. He was stimulated by his older son Jason's passion for natural health and healing and at the age of 53 became a full time student with his younger son Joshua. Graduating together in 2000, Dr. Deitch moved to Carlsbad and opened his first practice in Oceanside. After retiring in 2006, he had treatment on his low back for disc protrusions and had amazing results. He then decided to pursue more knowledge in this specialty and opened Health-Link Medical Center in February, 2008 dedicated to providing the most advanced treatments and technologies for musculoskeletal conditions.Health Link Medical Center was founded with the mission of providing the most advanced Non-Surgical treatments for the spine and musculoskeletal problems.
