Member Profile

SANTA CRUZ CHIROPRACTIC & SPORTS MEDICINE My name is Dr. David Love, and I have been a practicing chiropractor for the past 32 years. I own and operate Santa Cruz Chiropractic & Sports Medicine Clinic, which in addition to chiropractic provides cutting-edge technologies and wellness strategies. I have made it my professional goal to educate each one of my patients on the importance of developing a proactive preventative approach when it comes to their long-term health and well-being. All too often people will ignore their health until the day that they find themselves in a reactive intervention state, which is not where anyone wants to be.

So what services does our clinic provide that makes us unique?

As I am primarily a chiropractor, I provide specific, gentle, manual adjustments to the spine. What my experience has shown me is that many people are not aware of the variety of conditions that can be helped with chiropractic. Some examples are realignment of the joints in the upper extremity, including shoulder, elbows, and wrists, in addition to the lower extremities of the knees, ankles, and feet. In addition to my adjustments, I offer several cutting-edge technologies that can help ensure the best clinical outcome for the conditions I treat. Below is a brief summary of services that we offer in addition to chiropractic. Visit our website, www.santacruzchiro.com, for detailed information and coupons for discounted services as well as FREE treatments. Acoustic Compression Therapy (ACT)- This new technology, now available in U.S., has been utilized in Europe for over 20 years. This medical device provides pulses of sound energy called “acoustic waves” to treat painful conditions of the musculo-skeletal system. Applications include the treatment of and pain associated with planter fasciitis, sports related and repetitive stress injuries, and trigger points. It achieves these results by dramatically increasing blood supply to the injured areas. Cold Laser- This low-level therapy is very effective in the treatment of joint and nerve-related symptoms, which includes carpal tunnel. Other acute and chronic soft tissue conditions can be helped as well. Love For Protein Weight Loss Program- It is no surprise to anyone that carrying extra weight can lead to a long list of health challenges. I have offered a weight loss program in my clinic for over 5 years now where we have helped over 500 people lose their unwanted weight. Our simple 3-step program utilizes a ketogenic-based plan that allow the body to burn its stored fat while maintaining its lean muscle mass. I personally supervise each dieter’s results and our coaches provide one-on-one coaching, and weekly body fat analysis. Please visit www.loveforprotein.com for more information as well as your online discount coupon. Our goal is to help our patients to look and feel their best. If you feel that you can benefit from any of our services, we would love to be a part of your journey to optimal health. - Dr. David Love 1220 41st Ave, Capitola 831-462-2002 santacruzchiro.com
