Meet The doctor
Dr. Zach Thomas, DC
Dr. Zach Thomas attended massage school before finishing his Bachelor of Science degree studying Business Information Systems at California State University Chico. After a stint in the corporate IT world he decided it wasn’t his calling so he returned to Chico to practice massage and teach martial arts at the University. These pursuits instilled a fascination with the body and how it recovers from injury which eventually culminated in his interest in chiropractic and his attending Life Chiropractic College West. While at Life Chiropractic College West, in addition to taking a number of outside seminars of chiropractic techniques, he also enrolled in and successfully learned every elective technique course taught at the school graduating Cum Laude.
A lifelong athlete, Dr. Zach began playing organized sports with Tee-ball at a very young age, later moving on to competing on school teams for soccer, baseball, basketball, football, track, and rugby. After High School he discovered a passion for martial arts and has trained Karate, Tai Chi, Jujitsu, Judo, Kendo, Kenpo, Silat, Lua, Escrima, Aikido, Muay Boran, and others, though he only holds a black belt rank in Judo and Jujitsu. He is considered a Master in Wu style Tai Chi and has taught Tai Chi for more than a decade. His experience as an athlete as well as treating athletes has led to his becoming an expert in adjusting the entire body rather than simply focusing on the spine.
While attending Life Chiropractic College West, Dr. Zach was hit from behind in a rear end collision that caused a severe concussion forcing him to quit the school’s rugby team, and nearly ending his life. The struggle to recover and return to normalcy from that time has left an indelible impact upon him and the lessons that he has learned in his recovery from this event has informed the way he practices today.
Before moving to Benicia, Dr. Zach practiced in Oakland, and taught at Life Chiropractic College West in the Basic Sciences and Clinical Sciences departments.
