Your Chiropractor in Irvine, CA!
Dr. Andrew Bown, D.C.
My journey into chiropractic happened by surprise! I was originally wanting to become an orthopedic surgeon at a very young age. When I was 10, I suffered a severe trauma that broke multiple bones in my leg, requiring numerous reconstructive surgeries followed by several years of physical therapy and rehab. I spent two years in a wheelchair. I always enjoyed helping people, so given my previous accident, going into the medical field and orthopedics seemed like the right fit given what I’d gone through. During highschool and undergrad, I shadowed orthopedic surgeons, physician’s assistants, and physical therapists to further my curiosity, gaining more knowledge in the medical world. It wasn’t until I was two weeks away from graduating with my bachelors that I realized becoming an MD wasn’t the right fit for me! There were several occasions when patients would come to the clinic searching for pain relief, physical therapy wasn’t working, so the next step was more medications, injections, and surgery. I felt like there had to be something else that could help, something less invasive, more holistic and natural, I just didn’t know what that was at the time. So after graduating, I did some soul searching and tried to figure out where my journey was heading next.
At this time, I had been competing in bodybuilding for several years as a hobby. At my last show, I was backstage talking with other competitors, chatting, getting our spray tans all ready to go. There was a nice older gentleman who was also a competitor. We got to talking, and he mentioned that he was a Chiropractor. The only thing I had ever heard about chiropractic was from my surgery mentors who didn’t speak highly of the profession. Well, after speaking for a few minutes with this chiropractor about what he does for his patients, my curiosity was immediately sparked! The next day when I got back home, I decided I wanted to learn more about what this whole chiropractic thing was all about. I got an internship with a chiropractor, and I received my first life changing adjustment. It was at that very moment that I knew that this is what I was meant to do! I was absolutely blown away at how amazing my body felt. I had just accepted my fate that my body was always going to hurt, since i’d had so many surgeries, but after my first adjustment, my entire outlook on my health changed. Chiropractic helped me where others didn’t. It truly was a life changing experience for me.
My approach to chiropractic is patient centered, using the best evidence-based treatments available. I believe that health means more than just the absence of disease; it is a state of balance and wellness both internally and externally. This includes your physical, spiritual, and mental wellbeing. I want to create the best treatment that works for you individually, modify things when something isn’t working, and continue to develop the perfect recipe that allows your body to optimally heal.
I have extensive treatment experience and knowledge in the fields of Sports Medicine, Family Practice, Pediatrics, and Perinatal. I’ve treated professional athletes in the NFL and Olympics, grandparents in their 90’s, pregnant mothers during all stages of growth, newborn babies as young as two weeks old, toddlers and teenagers! Most chiropractors choose to only work with a specific patient demographic; I wanted to diversify my ability to work with patients of all backgrounds, regardless of age, gender, or body type. I’ve worked alongside and trained with team doctors for pro sports involving performance and recovery, as well as working with a Pediatric and Pregnancy clinic that worked closely with lactation consultants and midwives. I am a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatrics Association. I believe chiropractic care is beneficial for everyone!
I was born and raised in Nashville, TN. After high school, I moved to Johnson City, TN for college and graduated with my Bachelors in Microbiology, with a concentration in Health Sciences from East Tennessee State University. I then moved to Orange County for Chiropractic school and graduated from Southern California University of Health Sciences with my Doctor of Chiropractic. I met my wife Emily during grad school, we’ve been happily married for over two years. We have a beautiful daughter, Madelyn.
