Our Story

The story of Hands for life Irvine is one of opportunity. As a new branch of Hands for Life, we are excited to start giving back to the community. With hearts to serve and a passion for helping, Hands for Life gives us opportunity to serve and help the community and around the world. Going to chiropractic school and learning the philosophy and principle of chiropractic has taught us so much about what health really is and what it means to have control of your life. Our bodies are such an amazing organism which self-healings, and self-regulates. Removing inference of that self-healing and self-regulating is what allows healing and health to take place. Can you think of your number one asset in life? I would guess it to be your health. Without health what do you have? Hands for life is all about giving health back to the under privileged in the community and across the world. In 2014, Hands for life went over to India and served 7200 plus people in 4 days. Also, in 2014 Hands for life served over 6000 children and adults in Mexico. So as stated earlier this is a story of opportunity and new beginnings. We are so excited to give back and guide the community back on course to health and function, and return the power of health back to the individual. We are part of the equation and would love for you to be part of it as well. So lets join in as one and help create a healthier more wholesome community and world!

Our Team

We’re a family of chiropractors serving to make the world a healthier, more connected place. Our team understands the disparity in healthcare across the globe. There are some communities with access to excellent chiropractic care. There are other groups of people who have no way of receiving the benefit of chiropractic care. Our team came together to try and shrink the gap between the “haves” and the “have not’s”.
