Meet Dr. Jason Penaluna
A Defining Experience
Shoreline Chiropractor Dr. Jason Penaluna was interested in anatomy and physiology from his youth. Before he began his chiropractic studies, he was offered a contract to play professional rugby. During play, he tore his ACL and required surgery and rehabilitation, which he did through chiropractic.
Dr. Penaluna also developed a sizable Baker’s cyst on his left knee, which responded well, as long as he continued with chiropractic adjustments. These experiences solidified his career choice.
