Kenneth D. Erickson, D.C.
Dr. Erickson, a native of San Diego, was first introduced to the chiropractic philosophy of natural healthcare while still in high school. As a wrestler, he put a great deal of physical stress on his body, and suffered numerous injuries from doing so. Often disappointed with the “shake it off” attitude of his athletic trainers, Dr. Erickson was drawn to the chiropractic concept of enhancing the body’s ability to heal itself. After discovering chiropractic, not only did Dr. Erickson keep his name off of the “walking wounded” roster, he also experienced significant gains in his performance level. His chiropractor attributed these gains to the improved balance, coordination and agility that is the hallmark of optimal function.
