Dr. Robert Sanders
Chiropractor
Dr. Robert Sanders graduated from Miami University of Ohio with a bachelor of science degree in Kinesiology in 2015.
Originally planning to attend medical school after graduation, Dr. Sanders was exposed to chiropractic care after a low back weight-lifting injury while in school. Within 2 to 3 visits to the chiropractor, he was back in the gym pain-free. After that experience, he found his calling.
After college, Dr. Sanders attended Palmer College of Chiropractic West in San Jose. While there, he was a member of the Sports Council, frequently going to nearby sporting events and providing care to the athletes. Events ranged from season-long care to San Jose State Rugby team, Avon breast cancer walk, SeaOtter bike racing, Santa Cruz Beach volleyball, Ironman 6.0 Oceanside and countless others. Dr. Sanders also went on a chiropractic Mission trip and travelled to Arequipa, Peru and treated an underserved population.
After graduation, Dr. Sanders worked abroad in Singapore, where he worked as a chiropractor while also learning East Asia's health and acupuncture techniques. He treated a number of sports-related injuries in Singapore, a place where primarily golf, cricket and soccer were the most popular sports. COVID brought Dr. Sanders back to the United States, where he has been working with Chuck Pechin ever since.
In his free time, Dr. Sanders spends time with his wife Dr. Angelica (also a chiropractor who specializes in pregnancy care) and their maltipoo named Coco, hiking as a family or going to the beach. In addition, playing golf, skiing, and going to the gym.
