History
Dr. Ko served the thriving community of the Silicon Valley - working with various professional/semi-professional teams and athletes, weekend warriors as well as working professionals and children. He later accepted a position as Lead Chiropractor at LifeLong Medical Care to serve the vastly underserved communities of Alameda, Marin, and Contra Costa Counties. As a result, he had to say farewell to the South Bay, which he had called home for almost a decade and relocated to the East Bay where he now has a part-time clinic to continue serving the general community.
Specialties
Dr. Derek specializes in restoring the body's function by working with the neuromusculoskeletal (nerves, muscle, and skeleton) systems. Rather than treating the site of pain alone, he evaluates how you move on a fundamental level and breaks down problems joint by joint to determine the underlying cause of your pain to not only relieve your pain, but to help you keep it away! He often integrates rehabilitative exercises, soft tissue work, and extremity adjustments to enhance the outcome of Chiropractic care.
