About
Dr. David Revivo, DC
Dr. David has been immersed in the philosophy and science of chiropractic for nearly a decade. With his strong connection to natural, healing arts and his dedication to his own health, it was only natural that he would connect to chiropractic as a career path. Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, Dr. David’s childhood was challenged by a health condition known as Spinal Scoliosis – a significant and often disabling curvature of the spine. This condition caused him excruciating pain that lowered his quality of life. After years of undergoing treatment at the hands of orthopedic surgeons, including two ineffective back surgeries, Dr. David’s keen interest in spinal health and helping others began to develop into becoming a spine specialist himself. “Since surgery didn’t work and only made my condition worse,” he explains, “I turned my attention to a profession focused entirely on the spine and one who’s holistic, noninvasive philosophy truly resonates with my belief system.” After his first few sessions receiving chiropractic care, Dr. David began to experience an amazing shift in his energy both internally and externally: “I began to realize that this was the path chosen for me,” he states. He also came to realize that had he been blessed with the opportunity of being under chiropractic care as a young child his spine could have developed normally. Inspired by this realization, Dr. David made a lifelong commitment to help all walks of life – young or aged, rich or poor – get on a path to optimum spinal and overall health.
After completing his chiropractic studies in 1999 at the Los Angeles College of chiropractic, Dr. David helped a very successful Doctor run a high volume office in Long Beach, California, where he had an opportunity to truly refine the techniques he acquired through college. In 2001, he moved to San Diego and practiced in a Multi-Doctor office in Clairemont, where he began attracting a large client base, which until today has developed into a core group of loyal and committed people. In early 2004, he was introduced to the founding traditional chiropractic principles, which he was never taught in school. With renewed passion and vigor from a deepened relationship with chiropractic, Dr. David left Clairemont to share an office with a like-minded chiropractor in Kearny Mesa, where he continued to develop his practice. In September of 2005 he ventured into solo practice and opened his own office, Cardiff Family Chiropractic, in beautiful Cardiff-by-the-Sea. “I knew Cardiff and Encinitas were the right areas for me to bring my message of drug-less, knife-less, energy based holistic chiropractic to the masses. There is also a significant buzz in Cardiff and Encinitas when it comes to natural healing approaches,” says Dr. David. In September of 2008 – on the 3rd birthday of Cardiff Family Chiropractic, – Dr. David relocated his practice to Downtown Encinitas, a region of North San Diego known as a hub of holistic healing. Today, his practice offers the latest advances in chiropractic care, as well as a state-of-the-art system of energy healing called B.E.S.T. (Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique), which balances the mind/memory/soul energy fields and releases old toxic stress patterns from the body. Always capitalizing on the opportunity to play on words, Dr. Revivo is frequently referred to as “the B.E.S.T. Doctor in San Diego.” Dr. David and his staff work as a team to create a tranquil yet dynamic healing environment with service excellence as their ultimate goal: “We are committed to making your trip to the office the highlight of your day,” he remarks. On a personal note, Dr. David enjoys meditation, yoga, running, playing drums, as well as hockey, and teaching the public about health and chiropractic. Dr. David strongly believes his active lifestyle and rich quality of life wouldn’t be possible without chiropractic and B.E.S.T. Guided by the message from an ancient Arabian proverb, “one who has health has hope; and one who has hope has everything,” Dr. David has dedicated his life’s work to sharing the truth about health and to creating greater levels of health for himself and those he serves.
