Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Michele Ross.
Hi Dr. Michele, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My story really begins in my childhood as a competitive gymnast. That experience gave me a deep appreciation for movement, discipline, and the amazing things the body can do. It also gave me first hand experience with injuries-what it feels like to be hurt, to heal, and to rebuild. Those early experiences sparked my interest in helping others and ultimately guided me toward becoming a chiropractor.
As I grew in my chiropractic career, my curiosity about the body-and the many ways we can support it-kept expanding. I’ve always loved to learn, and each new area of study opened the door to the next. My interest in natural approaches to health led me to study herbal medicine, which broadened my understanding of how the body responds to different forms of support.
From there, I continued my journey into acupuncture school. Acupuncture allowed me to explore healing from an energetic perspective and added another dimension to the way I help people find balance and wellness.
My passion for learning didn’t stop there. I eventually became interested in sound healing and now incorporate tuning forks and a sound table into my work. Sound has a unique way of calming the nervous system and creating space for deeper relaxation and release. I especially enjoy using this modality with people dealing with stress-because truly, who doesn’t have stress these days?
Through each step of my path-gymnastics, chiropractic, herbal studies, acupuncture, and sound healing-I’ve built a practice rooted in curiosity, compassion, and a genuine love for helping people feel better in body, mind and spirit.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Honestly, I can’t say that I encountered many obstacles on this career path. Life naturally brings its challenges, but in my work, discipline, dedication , and a heartfelt devotion to my craft have carried me forward. Being able to support others on their healing journeys is not just meaningful to me – it’s one of my greatest joys.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
I provide integrative, whole body care that combines chiropractic, acupuncture , and therapeutic sound healing. My approach brings together structural alignment, energetic balance, and nervous system regulation to support the body’s natural ability to heal.
Using chiropractic adjustments for the spine and extremities, acupuncture to address both physical and internal conditions, and sound therapy with tuning forks and a sound table, I tailor each session to the unique needs of the individual. This multimodal approach allows me to address a wide range of concerns, including:
*Neck, back, and extremity pain
*Auto-injury recovery
*Headaches and migraines
*Sciatica and nerve pain
*Joint, muscle, and mobility issues
*Digestive issues
*Menstrual irregularities, PMS, and menopausal symptoms
*Fatigue, low energy, and overall imbalance
By blending these powerful modalities, I offer comprehensive care that supports physical alignment, emotional well-being, and deep, restorative healing.
I am also honored to work work with veterans. Through the VA, chiropractic and acupuncture services are covered. I understand navigating the VA system and insurance coverage can feel overwhelming, so I encourage veterans to reach out to me directly. I’m happy to help guide them through the process of accessing these modalities and making the most of their available benefits. I can be reached at 858-270-8085.
Do you any memories from childhood that you can share with us?
Some of my sweetest childhood memories revolve around my grandma – she was truly extraordinary. Being around her felt healing, and I cherished every moment we spent together. She was endlessly creative: she cooked and baked, sewed clothes for us, and had a deep love for crystals. My own love of stones and crystals came from her.
My sister and I often had sleepovers at my grandparents’ house. They even had a sauna, and we’d sit inside breathing in the blend of aromas – whatever my grandma was cooking mixed with the scent of the eucalyptus trees that lined the street. Those moments were pure magic.
