Dr. Dom’s philosophy on chiropractic care centers on the fundamental belief that spinal alignment is not just an isolated condition but a cornerstone of overall health and well-being. She has an innate passion for understanding the intricacies of the body and obtained her doctorate degree from Life Chiropractic College West, as well as a Bachelor’s of Science in Integrated Health Science with a minor in Ayurveda Wellness from Maharishi International University. This academic background laid the foundation for her holistic approach to healthcare, instilling in her a deep-seated belief that health and wellness are intricately tied to the understanding of the mind-body connection.

In 2012, Dr. Dom began her professional journey with a massage certification, later working at an Ayurvedic Wellness Center.

Dr. Ruch opened North Oakland Chiropractic Clinic in 1987. For over 36 years he has dedicated his career to bringing chiropractic care to those who are in need of extra gentle treatment.

Dr. Ruch has developed methods to carefully adjust joints with small repetitive motions. He can safely treat people with prior back surgery, implants, joint replacements, osteoporosis, hypermobility conditions, and people who are fearful of traditional chiropractic care.
