From an early age, Dr. David Gilligan believed he would pursue a career in chiropractic after witnessing a chiropractor heal his father from a serious auto accident which left him bedridden. He was fortunate to attend Arizona State University on a full academic scholarship before graduating from the Southern California University of Health Sciences in 2003 with a doctor of chiropractic degree. For 15 years, he dedicated himself to his private practice in Scottsdale, AZ before relocating to the Bay area in an effort to serve the masses with an affordable new vision of chiropractic care at The Joint Chiropractic in Walnut Creek, CA.
Dr. Gilligan has gained considerable knowledge and experience over his career and has developed chiropractic manipulation and mobilization techniques to help alleviate the physical discomfort of those with neck pain, upper and lower back pain, migraines, tension headaches, shoulder pain, sciatica, allergies, back pain during pregnancy, arthritis, rib pain, sprained ankles and other sports related injuries. In addition, he has seen chiropractic care improve the quality of life of those affected by fibromyalgia, gastro-intestinal disorders, auto-immune diseases, thyroid disorders, chronic fatigue, attention deficit disorder, brain fog and additional stress-related issues.
Dr. Gilligan has continued his education annually receiving post-graduate certifications in spinal and extremity adjusting, sports medicine and the treatment of soft tissue injuries, plus activator methods adjusting technique. He has a delightful bedside manner which helps inspire his patients to feel their best.
Dr. Gilligan and his wife are proud parents of three young children. In his free time, Dr. Gilligan enjoys traveling with his family and exploring all the Bay area has to offer. He also attends The Rock, his church in Danville.
