Meet Homan Diba | Dr. Homan Diba, D.C is the Senior Staff Doctor and Director of the Align Clinic.

We had the good fortune of connecting with Homan Diba and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Homan, how has your work-life balance changed over time?
Having a young family has really forced me to prioritize my personal and professional life

What should our readers know about your business?
After attending Cal State Northridge for several years to work on my business law degree, I noticed that I was not happy and did not feel like I was on the right path. The courses were boring and did not peak my interest like I expected. I was going through a crisis and needed to pursue my passion, which was health and wellness. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been the go-to person in my family to loosen up tight, aching muscles through my muscle work and self-taught soft tissue techniques. There had to be a profession that suited my strengths and dealing with the human body.

In 2004, I decided to take a leap of faith and enrolled in the Chiropractic Program at Cleveland Chiropractic College and graduated in 2008 with a bachelor’s in Human Biology and a doctorate in Chiropractic.

After graduating, I joined a multi-specialty clinic in Redondo Beach where I was immediately recognized for my hands-on soft tissue techniques and adjusting skills. In two years of practice, I was considered the go-to chiropractic physician in the Southbay and was fortunate enough to purchase the practice from the owner.

Fast-forward 12 years later in practice and helping patients from all ages and walks of life, I was blessed to open my second office, Align Chiropractic & Sports Medicine in El Segundo CA. I remain committed and dedicated to research and sound clinical practice in integrative pain and rehabilitative medicine to combine different, proven complementary approaches to relieving acute and chronic pain and promote healthy living for my community.

Starting a practice in El Segundo, I am often invited to participate as a volunteer in events both at schools, fortune 500 companies and gyms to speak about various subjects from injury prevention to proper lifting techniques. My current patient population includes working professionals (Boeing, Space X, Mattel, Ratheon, Northrop Grumman), entertainment celebrities, professional athletes, LAX employees (American Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Delta Airlines, Southwest Airlines), firefighters and Police officers.

Has it been a smooth road?

Educating the public on the importance of chiropractic care and spine health has always been a challenge due to the abundance of push back on the profession. Like MD’s, Doctors of chiropractic are trained in anatomy and physiology in addition to focusing on diagnosis, orthopedics, pathology, radiology and nutrition. This is why we are considered primary care physicians and through a collaborative network and referral system can help in managing pain and illness from the young to the elderly.

Another challenge is conveying to patients the importance of seeking help, making time for there visits and follow ups. The balance of work, family and self-care is something that many patients struggle with. One of my favorite quotes is “If you don’t make TIME for WELLNESS, you will be forced to make TIME for ILLNESS”. This is why at Align Chiropractic & Sports Medicine, I have incorporated the Free Consultations/Evaluations to educate my patients on their condition and find a treatment plan based on their needs.

How will the industry Change

Although Insurance carriers have put profits over the health of patients with ever rising premiums and deductibles, I believe that the profession will continue to prosper. Chiropractic is more accepted and mainstream now than ever before and more patients are getting results and benefits. Medications, while sometimes necessary will not treat the underlying cause of many conditions. As a Non-invasive and drug-free approach to health, I believe that chiropractic will flourish.
