LA Native
I'm one of those people who are considered a fairly rare breed. Raised
in Los Angeles, I am a certified "native" of the Southland,
complete with a diploma from Santa Monica High School, which I proudly
received in 1976. I later received my bachelor's degree in Kinesiology
from Humboldt State University in 1981.
Sports Enthusiast
I was active in sports throughout college where I was a runner, weight
lifter, swimmer, and volleyball player. I also crewed for the varsity
team for four years. To do this day, I’m still an avid runner—I’ve
completed over 20 marathons (26.2 miles each) and 12 ultra-marathons
(31-50 miles each).
Experienced Therapist
Following graduation, I worked as a respiratory therapist at UCLA Medical
Center until 1988. That's when I saw how many medical treatments were
simply ineffective. But I also had a personal experience that ultimately
led me to discover chiropractic.
Chiropractic Patient
For 10 years following a foot injury, a podiatrist injected me with
cortisone, prescribed orthotics, anti-inflammatories, and other medical
treatments. Nothing worked. It was a friend who recommended I see a
chiropractor. Believe me, I was skeptical at first. But not for long.
The chiropractor found an imbalance in my pelvis that caused the foot
injury. It was a fixation along the spine that caused the pain and could
have led to other health problems. Bottom line: Within a month of beginning
chiropractic treatment, the pain was gone.
Chiropractic
Doctor
The next thing you know, I was hooked! Based on my personal experience,
and seeing how many medical treatments have failed others, I decided
to choose a career as a Chiropractor. I enrolled in Cleveland Chiropractic
College and graduated in 1991. I opened my own practice, Rainey Chiropractic,
in 1993. With over fifteen years of experience, I appreciate every day
I spend, helping other people feel better so they can also live rich,
full, and pain free lives.
