About
^{Donald G. Gerken, DC, DACCP, CSTD}

Dr. Donald Gerken is a chiropractor who specializes in family practice.  After completing his doctorate in chiropractic, he went back to school for additional training in pediatrics, pregnancy, CranioSacral Therapy and nutrition. He is the only Chiropractor in south San Diego certified in family practice by the ICPA (international chiropractic Association of pediatrics) at the diplomat level.  He is also the only chiropractor in south San Diego that is certified diplomat in CranioSacral Therapy by the Upledger Institute. Dr. Gerken’s 25+ years experience with pregnancy means that his focus isn’t strictly on pain relief, but improving the overall function of the pelvis and soft tissue structures surrounding the uterus.  This optimizes labor and delivery.  Dr. Gerken comfortably works with newborns and conditions such as: torticollis, GERD, colic, inability to latch strongly to the breast, TOT (Tethered Oral Tissue) and cranial molding problems.
