About Dr. Max
FOUNDER / CHIROPRACTOR
I have always been an active person. From martial arts and cycling, to hiking and dancing, I am constantly seeking new ways to keep my body in motion. With that comes not only countless injuries, aches, and pains, but also moments of absolute joy and freedom. Around the age of 13, I started experiencing severe pain in my neck, so my father sent me to a holistic chiropractor, who not only guided my healing process then, but also planted many seeds of my current philosophy.
Dr. Kevin Michael helped me combat scoliosis in my teenage years by teaching me to view the body as an interconnected system. I learned that the dynamic exercise routine my body required is unique to my experience with scoliosis, and others will undoubtedly need a customized approach for their bodies. He also taught me that the human mind plays an active role in the healing arts, and our internal connective tissue intrinsically responds to the activity of our minds. I learned to focus on understanding why and how our bodies’ fascial planes move under stress, as well as how to restore and maintain homeostasis. As my interest in his work grew, I began formally training with Dr. Kevin, and over time, he helped me grow into an energy-based, myofascial bodyworker.
Now, with over 30+ years of hands-on experience with thousands of clients, a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology, and a Doctorate in Chiropractic Medicine from Cleveland Chiropractic College in Los Angeles, California, I bring a multifaceted, nuanced approach to chiropractic healing work. I view my patients as equal partners in their journey to a pain-free, functional, and sustainable lifestyle. My approach allows time for focused, gentle, and effective treatments. I am committed to helping people reclaim their vigor for life, remove chronic pain, recover from acute injury, and recalibrate stress related imbalances.
I am a lifelong student in the world of evidence informed holistic medicine. I enjoy collaborating with other healers and physicians to structure and provide the ideal care for patients, and I am constantly learning from my peers and patients.
When I’m not in the office working with patients, you can find me exploring the great outdoors, pursuing fitness-based activities, and enjoying time with my partner, Tiffany. We met through the dance world in Los Angeles, which became the foundation of our vast and diverse community that we cherish with gratitude. I look forward to working with you. Please feel free to reach out to me.
