dr. David Wu ChiropractorI am a native of New Jersey, graduated with honors from Southern California College of Chiropractic in 1991, and previously maintained a private practice in the San Francisco Bay Area for 1 2 years.  My practice specializes in gentle chiropractic techniques, energy medicine, and nutritional therapy.  I am a licensed chiropractor in the State of California, a certified Bio Cranial practitioner, and a clinical nutritionist.  As clinic director for Well Fit Center, my mission is to provide the people in the surrounding communities with safe and natural solutions for many of today’s health challenges.

After almost a decade of practicing chiropractic and providing symptom-relief for my patients, I began to experience some health problems of my own, chronic bronchitis and torticollis, a condition involving neck pain, stiffness, and inability to turn the neck.  It was quite obvious my health problems were not just a chiropractic issue.

With the help of nutritionists and my own research, I began a program of detoxification and nutritional supplementation. It seemed that my health issues stemmed from food allergies, toxins, and dietary habits.  After my program, I regained my health, and as a result, had my eyes opened to the idea that my patients were suffering with similar problems.  I realized I needed to offer more than just chiropractic care.   I needed to offer a total health program.  Subsequently, I immersed myself in over 1,000 hours of graduate courses in health, nutrition, and natural healing.

The approach I prefer is a partnership with my patients, to not only provide lifestyle and nutritional recommendations, but through advanced diagnostic technology, help them see for themselves objectively what their true health condition may be.  Then, I provide immediate symptom relief, the tools, and information which allow them to make better decisions about nutrition, dietary habits, posture and more.

My goal is to get my patients on their feet and out the door as soon as possible.  With this model, I have succeeded in helping hundreds of patients regain the healthy, vibrant lives they deserve.  These patients have told me I not only provide the highest service, but they feel comfortable recommending Well Fit Center to their family and friends.

With today’s emphasis on prevention and non-medical intervention, I am actually grateful that I had the health issues that lead me to learning about natural health alternatives, enabling me to help myself and hundreds of patients over the years.

It saddens me to see so many people suffering and “in the dark” about their pain and health problems, when I am aware that there are natural solutions to their problems that do not require drugs.  I want to reach out and help them, and I want to also help you.
