About West Coast Chiropractic Center
Dr. Derek Rupp – Highly Rated Carlsbad Chiropractor
Dr. Derek Rupp grew up in Lancaster, CA and knew at an early age that natural health was what he believed in. When he was in high school he was injured on the football field and his dad took him to see the family chiropractor. After his football injury had healed, he realized that he no longer suffered from allergies or heartburn; this gave him his first experience of the power of chiropractic and what it can do. From that point on he wanted to learn more about chiropractic. “I knew I wanted to help people live a healthier, happier and longer life, and the best way I felt I could achieve that was to become a Chiropractor.”CBP Chiropractor & Other Certifications
