Dr. Parker Forbes, D.C.

Dr. Parker Forbes, DC was born and raised in Ventura County, where he attended Moorpark University and met the love of his life. After graduating from Moorpark, Dr. Forbes desired to continue his education, and followed his passion for the holistic health field when he entered the chiropractic profession. Parker obtained his chiropractic license from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport Iowa. He graduated with the highest marks of distinction; achieving Summa Cum Laude as well as receiving the Academic Excellence Award and being nominated for the Clinical Excellence Award. Since graduating Parker and his wife Lauren have moved back to beautiful southern California, where he looks forward to helping heal Ventura County and its surrounding communities for decades to come.

Dr. Forbes practices using Diversified Technique but also uses Drop Table, SOT, McKenzie, Applied Kinesiology and Low-Force Techniques when needed. He also utilizes a wide variety of soft tissue techniques; from PNF, FKTR, and Trigger Point Therapy to Cold Laser and Shockwave Therapy. Dr. Forbes believes that the healing process always starts from within. He believes that the body is a self-healing machine and that his job as a Chiropractor is to facilitate health by removing the obstacles that are currently in the way of the innate healing process.

When he is out of the office Parker and his wife enjoy going on adventures and exploring the local trails and wildlife with their australian shepherd/border collie named Misty. They love to hike year round and when the sun gets too hot in the summer months they head to the beach to cool off and go scuba diving. They also love to travel the world together and have been to 12 countries so far, and counting!
