Dr. Tom Iwashita is a Southern California native and USC Business Administration graduate who discovered his passion for sports medicine after receiving his first chiropractic adjustment as a student athlete. This experience led him to trade his playing career for time in the Athletic Training Room at Cypress High School, where his dedication earned him a Lifetime Athletic Pass at graduation. Nearly forty years later, he continues merging his love of sports and healing to serve athletes of all ages.

A graduate of The Los Angeles College of Chiropractic (LACC), Dr. Tom has built a career around performance, leadership, and education. He created the innovative Tri-Metrix program—an evolving clinical treatment tool that he uses to not just treat patients, but coach them through their recovery and performance goals.
