Chiropractor

Lance Casazza D.C.

Dr. Lance was born in San Francisco in 1971, growing up on Lombard Street, one block from the crooked street. Later he attended St. Francis High School in Mountain View and graduated in 1989. It was during this period, 1986 to be exact, that Dr. Lance received his first chiropractic adjustment and has been under wellness care ever since.

After high school, he attended U.C Davis where he played four years of intercollegiate football and graduated with a bachelor's degree in exercise science. One day after graduation, he moved to Scotland to work for the National Football League and returned it a World Bowl Trophy under his belt.

In 1998 he was accepted to Palmer West College of Chiropractic. During his time there he became president of his chiropractic college and upon his graduation, achieved the honor of valedictorian.

He has always felt at home in the Sacramento area and opened his practice here in June of 2002. Since opening, his recent accomplishments have ranged from becoming a team doctor for local semi-pro teams to doing charity work at Wellspring Women's Center. Your health and wellbeing is and always will be his ultimate goal!

Chiropractor

Miles Bradford D.C.

Born in 1996 and raised in the close-knit community of Newark, California, Dr. Bradford developed a passion for helping others from an early age. His journey began at Newark Memorial High School, where he not only excelled academically but also made a name for himself as a dedicated soccer player, proudly representing his school for three years.

After graduating in 2014, Dr. Bradford set his sights on higher education, enrolling at California State University, Sacramento. There, he pursued a bachelor's degree in exercise science, a field that perfectly aligned with his deep-rooted interest in human health and physical well-being. He graduated in 2021, eager to make a difference in the lives of others.

It was during this time that Dr. Bradford discovered his true calling—chiropractic care. Fascinated by the intricacies of the human body and driven by a desire to help people achieve optimal health, he decided to further his education at Palmer West College of Chiropractic. Accepted into the program in 2021, Dr. Bradford fully immersed himself in his studies, embracing every opportunity to refine his skills and techniques. He actively participated in a variety of extracurricular courses, gaining hands-on experience and deepening his understanding of chiropractic care.

In 2024, Dr. Bradford proudly earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree, marking the culmination of years of dedication and hard work. However, his journey was far from over. With a deep affection for the Sacramento area, where he had spent his undergraduate years, Dr. Bradford knew that this vibrant community was where he wanted to be. Eager to give back to the people and the city that had played such a significant role in his life, he returned to Sacramento with a renewed sense of purpose. Dr. Bradford is committed to serving his community, offering compassionate care, and helping his patients achieve their health and wellness goals.
