Meet The Doctor

I have been a Chiropractor for over five years, and the miracles I see each day never cease to amaze me. I am passionate about what I do daily, change peoples lives through Chiropractic. It still amazes me how the human body has the power to heal itself naturally.

In our office we believe that health and wellness is one of the greatest joys of life. We see how true this is with each of our patients. When people are truly free from pain their entire quality of life is better. They are happier, more energetic, and have a much more positive outlook. They can once again enjoy things that they could not before due to the constant pain. My goal is to tell the world the truth about Chiropractic care and all of its benefits, one person at a time.

I completed my pre-chiropractic education at Las Positas College and Cal State Hayward. I continued on to graduate from Life Chiropractic College West where I received my Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree. I constantly strive to improve and update my knowledge in Chiropractic, the medical fields, and general overall health. 

My wife, Melissa, and I have two sons, and we enjoy boating, fishing, family barbeques, and anything as a family.

Let me tell you my story. Years ago something happened that changed my life forever.

It happened one evening while driving home, I’ll never forget that day. Out of nowhere, BAM! I was in a horrible head-on collision. The accident left me with severe pain in my neck and upper back. It was so bad that when I tried to use my left arm, I just couldn’t. I had no strength and the pain was unbearable. The pain forced me to quit the things I loved. I tried to use my left arm as little possible due to the pain. At 19, weight lifting and sports were my life, but that stopped after the accident. I also stopped hanging out with my friends and just stayed at home. Being a young man, I figured that the pain would just go away. But, after some time, it didn’t seem to be getting any better. It doesn’t stop there.

My medical doctor had me on some really powerful drugs. But nothing was helping. I started to get pretty scared. Here I was, just a young guy, losing the use of my left side and in awful pain everyday. I thought would I have to live like this forever? I felt so alone. The loneliness and the pain killers made me feel depressed, I felt like I didn’t have anything left to live for. I had suicidal thoughts. I felt like the pain would just never end. But, then something happened.

That’s when a friend of mine finally convinced me to try his doctor. He had been asking me for over 10 months. I was skeptical at first. That new doctor did an exam, ran a few tests, and then “adjusted” me. The adjustment didn’t hurt, it actually felt pretty good.  And guess what? I started to get a little better. After each adjustment I felt better than before. The pain I had been living with dramatically decreased. I felt so much better.

Oh, did I mention that doctor was a chiropractor?  Chiropractic worked so well for me, and I was so excited and impressed with all the “miracles” I saw from chiropractic, that I finished my undergraduate school and headed to chiropractic school. 

Chiropractic literally saved my life. It gave me a hope, and my life back. I know some of you have come from that same place of pain and despair, but you’re here today because someone reached out to you to help save your life.

Unlike conventional medicine, which focuses on attempting to treat disease once it occurs, Contreras Chiropractic emphasizes improving your health in an effort to reduce the risk of pain and illness in the first place. Most people would rather be healthy and avoid illness, if they could. This is one of the main reasons for the big surge in the popularity of our wellness center.

For some, Contreras Chiropractic will take them back to a place that is cozy and familiar, offering a rediscovery of health and wellness that had been previously known but long lost. For others, the journey may offer a new center, one never before experienced.

People are recognizing the benefit of seeking an alternative to traditional medicine; one that will help them achieve and maintain optimal health.
