The Irvine Chiropractor to see - Chiropractor Irvine

Meet Your Irvine Chiropractor, Dr. Mamak Shakib

What kind of doctors are they if they don’t give any medicine?

It was curiosity that got me interested in chiropractic. After all, I was only used to thinking medicine being the ‘cure’ for all. When I looked into chiropractic, I was intrigued by how simple, yet profound its root was: Follow nature’s rules and you win, break nature’s rules and you lose! That it was not any medicine deficiency that caused dis-ease and disease and that there was more to health than what media and Big Pharma made it to be.

I chose Los Angeles College of Chiropractic (LACC) for multiple reasons, the most important of which being its high academic emphasis. I wanted to know the different diseases that I probably was not going to treat as a chiropractor; I wanted to know everything about everything (something I am known for!) and LACC allowed me to learn what Medical Doctors learned in school. After all, if I knew from the very beginning that if I was going to educate people on what to do to avoid medicine, I needed to learn how medicine worked. Later on, I learned that to truly embrace the concept of the chiropractic LIFESTYLE, I had to learn about the other 2 angles of the triangle of health. It was then that I proceeded to learn about Functional Medicine, assessing each system and organ in the body while interpreting its impact on the rest of the body and later Meridian talk therapy (EFT). The latter explored the impact of mental component of health which is so often missed by even alternative health practitioners including many chiropractors. I find satisfaction in knowing that I am a true Chiropractor. It was then that my pursuit to become who my title implied knowing that Doctor meant teacher.

I firmly believe that reducing symptoms gives us a job, educating patients creates our career but enhancing the way others live their lives produces our legacy. My team and I have an established reputation of being pioneers in our Irvine community with a style of practice that has the health of the patient and not political health trends as our goal.

I met my husband in Organic Chemistry class (some Chemistry class that was!) and later we started Chiropractic School together. We now practice chiropractic in Irvine, Orange County together and have 2 beautiful daughters. I have my own radio show called Health Matters with Dr. Shakib, which is on alternatives to the conventional medicine. I am an active member of the Irvine community, performing Wellness and Prevention lectures at companies, Health Fairs and schools going out of my way to share the truth about true health which some how do not make it to the media!! I also provide community awareness lectures at my wellness clinic in Irvine, discussing commonly known diseases with prevention in mind.

I practice what I preach and start my day with positive affirmation, drive to work listening to uplifting audios, laugh and make people laugh, exercise, get adjusted and eat organic food that is based on my Metabolic Typing. I finally end my day by mentally thanking God and myself for the wonderful day I had.

Let's remember that what happens tomorrow is the direct result of functions and actions we take today! If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, want to not be a sick old person but a graceful elderly, if you want to see your children be healthy and happy now and when they are older, you need to take control of your health. I am prepared to show you the way if you are willing to ask questions and be an active participant in your life. Be proactive not reactive! Give our Irvine chiropractic office a call today.
