Dr. Valle is also a certified practitioner of Kinesio Taping® Techniques. The powerful combination of these and other techniques allows Dr. Valle to deliver high quality chiropractic care to athletes and non-athletes alike. Dr. Valle’s expertise in biomechanics and muscular skeletal system, has allowed him to successfully treat elite athletes such as ultra marathoners while many times avoiding the need for surgery.
Dr. Valle is a co-founder of Bay Area Sports Chiropractors (BASC), a collaborative network of fully credentialed ART® providers. As part of BASC, Dr. Valle has worked various sporting events such as S.F. Marathon, Cinderella Classic, Wild Flower & Vineman Triathlons during which he's treated both professional and amateur athletes alike. Dr. Valle also served as the official Chiropractor and ART® provider for the mixed martial arts amateur circuit fighters of Max Self Defense Gym both in-house and at competitions, as well as professional fighters from various training camps. Dr. Manuel Valle is the treating chiropractor for Elite XC's Welterweight MMA Champion, Jake Shields, which he thanked during his post fight live interview on the July 26, 2008 CBS Saturday Night Fights. Jake Shields has recently signed on with the Ultimate Fighting Champion (UFC) organization as top Welterweight contender. Dr. Valle is also the treating doctor to other well known MMA fighters, such as Strikeforce's Gilbert Melendez and others.
As such, Dr. Valle uses a "whole person approach" when taking care of his patients. He recognizes that today's cookie cutter approach used by many other chiropractors is NOT an appropriate treatment method. By combining the very best hands-on-techniques, state of the art soft tissue techniques, physiotherapy procedures, and functional rehabilitation exercises, he is able to personalize treatment of individual patient at ever step of the way. Dr. Valle's goal is MAXIMIZING YOUR POTENTIAL!
During his spare time, Dr. Valle enjoys spending quality time with his wife and two children, fishing, camping, mountain biking, and working out and MMA training.
