Chiropractic Care
Doctor of Chiropractic
Dr. Thomas Kano has been a licensed Chiropractor since 2000. Born and raised in San Diego, he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management from San Diego State University. He became interested in Chiropractic after a sports injury prompted him to seek the care of a Chiropractor. He discovered that Chiropractic was about whole-body wellness rather than just the treatment of back pain.
Having found a greater purpose, Thomas went back to school and graduated from Life Chiropractic College West in San Lorenzo, CA.
Dr. Kano uses a combination of several methods, including Applied Kinesiology, to suit the individual needs of each patient. Whether you are 2 or 90 years old, an athlete or a sedentary professional, his combination of hands-on care with rehabilitation exercises and physiotherapy can help you reach your full physical potential.
Dr. Kano is committed to offering clear explanations of treatment and care because those who know what a chiropractor does and why seem to get the best results in the shortest amount of time.
