Dr. Arnold Koo of Turning Point Chiropractic

Dr. Arnold Koo is the owner of Turning Point Chiropractic in Pleasanton CA. Read on for our interview with Dr. Koo:

Why do you do this type of work? I chose chiropractic because I believe in the body's ability to naturally self-heal, and my mission is to help remind people that theirs can too. My job is just to figure out what misalignments in their spine are affecting the nervous system and preventing their body from healing or functioning at its potential, and correct it.

Describe your ideal client. Who are you hoping to connect with through your images? My ideal client is someone who has never been adjusted before but has also "tried everything". I also love working with a parent who is bringing her children into the chiropractor for the first time because they heard it could possibly help with something going on. Kids are great because they respond so honestly and quickly to chiropractic care.

How does your client's life change after working with you? What's the outcome? The most common thing I hear is, "I didn't know this is how I am supposed to feel". People seem to associate the word or feeling of pain into their daily lives. I always hear about an issue that they've had for a while but it's not bad or they have gotten used to it. Most importantly, when people get the adjustment they need, they start to realize that the discomfort and dysfunction they have been living with for so long is actually not normal. This is the best outcome for someone that I could ever wish for.

What is your signature method or process? Tell us more about working with you. I believe that feeling well is an important factor when it comes to health, but maybe more importantly, I also believe that being able to objectively measure wellness is equally as important. My initial process involves a little more upfront work and analysis to figure out what is causing people's health issues, why it is happening, and what specific goal they have for their health so that I can customize chiropractic care to their specific needs. Most of the time it comes down to how well the communication between your brain and body is performing. I understand that not everyone is built the same or some people just simply require different needs so use a multitude of different techniques for adjusting the spine which can or cannot involve the popping sounds usually associated with an adjustment.

What do you do for your clients that is unexpected? How do you make them feel special? If you don't like positivity, then you probably won't like me. But I want people to walk into my office feeling that sense of positivity because that is where real health starts.

When people see your brand images, what do you want them to feel? I want people to feel comfortable and hopeful about their health.

Where do you draw your inspiration from? My inspiration comes from the smiles I get to see after people get an adjustment. I don't feel like there are many doctors offices where more people leave smiling, and I really am grateful to be apart of this profession.

What do you love to do outside of work that can give us a peek at who you are behind the scenes? I love staying active outside of "work". You can usually find me hiking or doing some sort of workout. If I am not doing that, I also like cooking while pretending I'm on the show "Chopped" while streaming "The Office" in the background.

What are the three core messages of your business? The body can heal. Chiropractic works. We are here for you.
