Dr. Derek Rice D.C.

Doctor of Chiropractic

Dr. Rice began his path as a chiropractor at age 23 after witnessing a life-changing result in someone close to him. A close friend struggled with recurring migraines that often lasted one to two days at a time. While spending time together at a mall, they met a chiropractor who believed he could help.

After beginning care, Dr. Rice’s friend experienced a dramatic improvement. Over time, her migraines stopped, and she was able to discontinue her migraine medications. Seeing her regain her quality of life had a profound impact on him.

Inspired by how chiropractic care supported the body’s natural ability to heal, Dr. Rice committed himself to becoming that kind of provider for others. He immersed himself in studying the structural causes behind pain and dysfunction, learning how the body can be guided back toward healthier function through natural methods.

Today, Dr. Rice’s approach is rooted in helping patients improve their health through chiropractic care, movement, and nutrition. His broader goal is to positively impact the health of the San Diego community by supporting healing through evidence-informed, natural care strategies.
