Dr. Alex Hwang, D.C.
Doctor of Chiropractic
Dr. Alex Hwang, our lead Chiropractic Physician and Clinical Director, began his Chiropractic journey in 2018 with Total Healing & Wellness. He naturally felt that Torrance was a great place to start as the community that he grew up had a great influence in him wanting to pursue the field of medicine.
As Dr. Alex Hwang was interning and shadowing medical practices as a student, he believed in building a center that will incentivize in patient-centered care through the modern approach of Chiropractic. Modern Chiropractic care means providing a comprehensive care that combines Acupuncture, Massage Therapy, Functional Rehabilitation and Physical Medicine to help treat one's medical condition, rather than focusing only on the symptoms.
Dr. Alex Hwang's mission and vision is to create medical centers where patients not only find answers to their problems but also learn new ways that will help them achieve their wellness goals.
