Dr. Michelle Chu was born and raised in Davis, where she played on the Davis Senior High School Tennis team and was a member and camp instructor for Davis Tennis Club. She also attended Davis Chinese School for 10 years, where she also taught traditional Chinese dance and tai chi.

Dr. Chu received her Bachelor's Degree from UC San Diego, where she played on the Women's Lacrosse team. After sustaining multiple injuries, but continuing to play through them, Dr. Chu became interested in preventative and rehabilitative care for athletes. She went on to receive her chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic West in San Jose, CA, where she was an active participant in the school's prestigious Sports Council, which offers medical and chiropractic care to professional, semi-pro, and amateur athletes in events across Northern California. Dr. Chu has treated at events such as the Kona Ironman in Hawaii, the Sea Otter Classic biking event in Laguna Seca, Monterey, and the International Children's Games at Stanford University.

In addition to a standard chiropractic adjustment, some techniques used during a regular treatment with Dr. Chu include Active Release Technique (A.R.T.), Tecnica Gavilan, Trigger Point Therapy, RockTape (kinesiology taping), and Selective Functional Movement Assessment or Biomechanics Evaluation. These techniques allow for a functional approach to treat pain and injuries to reach maximal recovery in minimal time.

Medical Professionals are limited by HIPAA as to what information they can make public about their patients, including who their patients are.

2011-08-02 10:36:31   Dr. Chu or as I call her Dr. Pain! As a cyclist and bicycle racer I use muscles I never knew I had! Any issue I have with muscles and cycling, Dr. Chu has been able to resolve and treat. ART has been the best option for my needs and I cannot say enough about Rock Tape, it is a miracle tape! Sure, I can purchase the tape on my own but it would not be as effective as if applied it to myself. Dr. Chu always goes above and beyond, she knows her stuff! I would recommend her to anyone having muscle issues! —KristenHill
