Introducing Canoga Park Chiropractor Dr. Christopher Shafer
"Ever since I was a small kid, I dreamed about having my own office and helping others. After looking at all of my options, I knew being a chiropractor was my calling in life."
"When I was 23 years old, I was on an intense exercise program. The program had taken its toll on my low back. It began to hurt me every day and kept me from doing some exercises. I went to a chiropractor and began feeling better right away. My back pain was gone, but to my surprise, I was sleeping better, fewer headaches and had more energy throughout the day. I seemed to have found the fountain of youth. Just then, I began visiting my future chiropractic college to find out chiropractic heals. One day it all clicked. I knew that I was already a chiropractor. All I needed to do was walk upstairs and become a chiropractor."
Dr. Shafer began his pre-chiropractic education at Pierce College where he studied the basic sciences such as inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, biology, along with basic physiology and anatomy courses.
After completing his study there, he was accepted at Cleveland Chiropractic College in Los Angeles, California. During his four years at Cleveland, courses included biochemistry, a major emphasis on anatomy and human physiology, X-ray, diagnosis, chiropractic adjusting techniques and patient care in the Cleveland College Public Clinic. After graduating in 1997 Dr. Shafer returned to the West Valley area to establish his practice.
“We love skeptics,” smiles Dr. Shafer “I still remember the concerns and apprehension I had when I went to the chiropractor for the first time. So we make it a point to explain everything in advance, answer questions and attempt to over communicate. Patients appreciate that.”
"I am the youngest of six kids and we didn't use drugs for colds and flus. Actually, we didn't use drugs for anything. My mother always used natural remedies. To me it was normal. I live my adult life, very much like I was raised. I follow a healthy program of exercise, nutrition and regular chiropractic adjustments. Life just seems to fall into place when you feel really good!"
