High School Soccer Injury Lead Me to Chiropractic

"I was a skeptic,” admits Dr. James Pedreiro. "An appointment was made for me to see a local chiropractor, Dr. Wilmer O., for low back pain I was experiencing daily after a high school soccer injury 5 years earlier. I was reluctant but I couldn't live that way any longer." “It was incredible,” continues Dr. Pedreiro. “I’ll never forget that first adjustment. It was as if a huge weight was suddenly lifted from my shoulders and back. That’s when I decided I wanted to be achiropractor.”

During his four years at Life West, courses included biochemistry, a major emphasis on anatomy and human physiology, X-ray, diagnosis, chiropractic adjusting techniques and patient care in the Life West Public Clinic.
