Meet Our Practitioners and Support Staff

Dr. Michael Close, DC

Chiropractor

Dr. Michael L. Close accomplished his undergraduate studies at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He then went on to the Southern California University of Health Sciences (formerly known as Los Angeles College of Chiropractic), in Whittier, CA.

Dr. Close first joined this clinic in 2000, balancing patient care with running the day-to-day operations. In 2005, his passion for helping people live healthier lives pushed him to take the next step. He purchased the practice and reintroduced it as the Chiropractic Health and Wellness Center.

Dr. Close has always believed health is about more than just fixing aches and pains. That is why he expanded the practice to include other holistic practitioners, creating a space where patients could get whole-body care under one roof. His patients know him not just for his skill, but for his down-to-earth approach and genuine care. Whether he is adjusting a spine, cheering on their health progress, or sharing a good laugh to ease nerves, his goal is always the same: helping people live well.

Two decades later, his vision has grown into a welcoming center where people come not just to feel better, but to live better.
