WILLIAM RUCH, DC

For over 39 years, Dr. William Ruch has dedicated his career to bringing chiropractic care to those who are in need of extra gentle treatment. He has developed methods to carefully adjust joints with small repetitive motions. He can safely treat people with prior back surgery, implants, joint replacements, osteoporosis, hypermobility conditions, and people who are fearful of traditional chiropractic care. In addition, the methods he has developed to realign the ribs are especially helpful for alleviating anxiety and insomnia. He is working to document the connection between hypermobility, insomnia, anxiety and the over-stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system.

The same year he went into practice, he began teaching at Life Chiropractic College West in Hayward, California (he retired from teaching in 2023). Dr. Ruch has spoken at several chiropractic conferences, taught seminars for members of the healthcare community, and has authored numerous scientific articles, written chapters for and published numerous photographs in several textbooks. Through Life Chiropractic College West, he published the 2nd edition textbook, Atlas of Common Subluxations of the Human Spine and Pelvis, which is now a part of his curriculum and considered a standard reference throughout the chiropractic community. He published a second textbook, Advanced Adjusting Techniques, in addition to two self-help books on adjusting:The Level Pelvis Method and Got Knee Pain?. He has recently republished his Textbooks — both in digital & paperback formats, via his new publishing company Postura Press.

Life Chiropractic College West has received programmatic accreditation through the Council on Chiropractic Education and institutional/regional accreditation through WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC).
