Dr. Tom Iwashita is a Southern California native. He attended Swain Elementary, Lexington JHS, and Cypress HS. He started playing baseball and basketball in the SEYO leagues at the age of 5, and continued playing youth sports in Little League, Pony, Junior High School, and into High School. While in junior high school, after waking up with a stiff neck, his father took him to get his first chiropractic adjustment. While in high school, after suffering several injuries, he became very interested in athletic training. Now, twenty years later, Dr. Tom puts these two facets of his life together for the benefit of athletes, both young and not as young.

Still seen on the basketball (OCSA/LA Fitness) and volleyball (Westside/USLVA) courts, Dr. Tom remains athletically active.

His patients range from 6 year-old soccer players through the professional ranks of Basketball, Volleyball, and Football. He's worked with numerous charitable organizations and volunteered for the AVON 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk and now the Susan G. Komen 3-Day walk as a Crew Chiropractor.

While many of Dr. Tom's patients feel he has made the difference in their abilities and lives, he knows the key to a patient’s success is rooted in their Mind-Brain-Body Interaction.
