Dr. Pooja Manchanda, DC, CCSP ®
Dr. Pooja’s passion is to help others get out of pain, and improve their quality of life. She is also passionate about working with athletes and is a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP) ®. As an avid sports fan and a trained martial artist in Tae Kwon Do, she has seen many sports injuries first hand that could be helped by chiropractic. She began providing care for athletes at several sports events in the Bay Area, including the San Francisco Half Marathon and Sea Otter Classic. Her focus is to improve the quality of life for her patients, whether they are a weekend warrior or an Olympic athlete. She has been fortunate enough to take her passion abroad by completing chiropractic mission trips in El Salvador and Fiji, which involved treating hundreds of patients in a short period of time pro bono.
Since 2019, Dr. Pooja has been working with a men’s elite ultimate frisbee team: Revolver Ultimate. The on-field experience she has gained while working with this team has been invaluable. Along with managing and treating acute injuries, she has learned what it takes to be an athlete for a competitive team and now applies the principles of intensity, humility, and discipline (Revolver’s core values) to all parts of her life.
Dr. Pooja is also certified in several other techniques, such as Nasal Release Technique, Cupping, RockTape, Applied Kinesiology, and Técnica Gavilán to help her patients heal quickly, and get back to doing what they love. Don’t let pain stand in your way of living your best life!
Dr. Pooja received her Bachelor of Science degree in Molecular Environmental Biology from the University of California, Berkeley. She graduated Magna Cum Laude with her Doctorate of Chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic – West Campus. She has lived in the Bay Area for almost 15 years and is a member of Business Network International. When Dr. Pooja is not seeing patients, she loves discovering new hiking trails around the Bay Area, exploring new restaurants, and traveling to new destinations with her husband.
