Want the best chiropractor in Santa Cruz? Meet Dr Deborah Vitale

Having special training in corrective chiropractic, sports chiropractic and maternity care, we can treat the entire family.

I have been fascinated with the treatment of sports injuries since I was a child.  As a competitive gymnast, avid skier and downhill mountain biker racer, my body has endured more than its share of pounding and injuries. By my early 20’s I was really starting to feel the effects of my activities.  Combined with poor ergonomics at a high stress job, I was left injured and unable to use my right arm.  The combination of chiropractic adjustments, effective soft tissue work and ergonomic optimization restored the use of my arm and gave me my life back.  My transformation inspired me to want to go to chiropractic school so that I too could help other people get back to what they love doing. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the prestigious Palmer West College of Chiropractic and was an awarded member of the Chiropractic Sports Council for my entire 4 years there.

While I have special training in sports injuries and get excited by the unique injuries that my top athletes bring me, who I really love working with is families. While my soft tissue training is a requirement for sports injuries, it works great for all kinds of regular back pain and neck pain too.  I find that I can get great results faster because I offer a wide variety of treatment options and techniques.  There is nothing more gratifying than helping a dad get back to playing with his kids, or easing the rib or pelvic pain of an expectant mother. I have dedicated my life to the service of regular people, and I thank you for putting your health in my hands. I love helping people and hope to have the opportunity to help you too!
