John Michael Talevich, DC

We have been in Sierra Madre for thirty-nine years. In that time, we have seen whole families grow up, generations of people we've cared for and about. It has been a privilege, one that has taught us so much as we have served the community. Our approach is one acknowledging the depth of the body-mind connection. Our physical bodies cannot be separated from our mental processes; thought and form interrelate and coalesce creating health, what we call "willness, " the choice to appreciate and create wholeness and vibrancy.

Dr. Talevich is a chiropractor licensed in California and Washington. His emphasis is on dialogue-based practice wherein both doctor and patient enjoy equal footing. To that end, he has developed a number of different methods for accessing and evaluating the patient's needs and condition over his years in practice. This may include standard lab testing and radiographic studies, along with procedures to identify and correct patient-specific stress patterns.

A former faculty member at Los Angeles College of Chiropractic (now the Southern California University of the Health Sciences) and with experience as a staff clinician at Instituto di Statico in Milan, Italy, Dr. John brings both an understanding of the body's structure and function as well as an appreciation of the unique mental, emotional and spiritual aspects that contribute to well being.
