I have attended thousands of hours of postgraduate seminars in chiropractic, orthopedics, sports medicine, and nutrition. I have a long history in the health and fitness field. I was a competitive bodybuilder in the 1980s and won Mr. LA in 1985. I published a paper on Preventing Weight Training Injuries in 1996 in a peer reviewed journal. I wrote a book on back injuries with a focus on rehabilitative exercises in 1998, The Back Relief Book. I am a certified sports chiropractor and a certified sports and conditioning specialist. I have been doing chiropractic and nutritional counseling for over 25 years. I'm married with 2 children. My hobbies include reading, weightlifting, following the stock market, watching the Clippers, Lakers, Dodgers and playing golf. My reading focus areas have been health, nutrition, and history.I have been a sports chiropractor and nutritionist in Santa Monica for over 20 years. I have helped thousands of patients recover from various injuries and feel better, including back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, rotator cuff tendinitis, headaches, hip pain, knee pain, foot pain, elbow pain, and wrist pain. I have helped them get back to full activity levels and maximize their performance. On the nutrition front, I have helped many clients to lose weight, get their blood sugar and cholesterol under control, and to help them manage various other chronic conditions. These conditions include gas and bloating, reflux, constipation, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, hypothyroid, fatigue, autoimmune diseases (like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis), and even cancer.
