37 years. Over 10,000 patients. An Olympic team on his resume.
Dr. Michael Foudy, D.C. has cared for spines in Mission Viejo for 37 years and treated more than 10,000 patients. From 1996 to 2004 he was the official chiropractor to the U.S. Women’s Olympic and World Cup Soccer teams, and in 1999 he was named Chiropractor of the Year. The same table-side standard he brought to a national team is the one waiting on Marguerite Parkway this week.
Open mornings most days. Thursday is afternoons only, 3:00 to 6:00 pm.

“I think I know what I’m doing.”
He says it plainly, and after 37 years he has earned it. Dr. Foudy treats chiropractic like a craft, the way a master carpenter talks about wood. He measures before he ever touches you, shows you what he found on your own scans and X-rays, and tells you honestly whether he can help. Most of the time, he can.
And when something is not his to fix, he says so. He would rather point you down the street to the right specialist than sell you care you do not need. That honesty is the reason patients stay with him for decades.
I’ve treated over 10,000 patients. I think I know what I’m doing.Dr. Michael Foudy, D.C.
We’re not measuring your pain. We’re measuring how the nervous system is functioning.Dr. Michael Foudy, D.C.
The training behind the hands.
Dr. Foudy earned his Doctor of Chiropractic from the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic in 1989 and a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology along the way. He holds a California Radiography X-Ray Supervisor and Operator license and is certified in Paraspinal Electromyography, which is why the X-rays and the surface EMG happen in his Mission Viejo office, on his equipment, read by him.

Six techniques, matched to you.
Your spine is like the circuit breakers in the back of your house. When one is out of alignment it blocks the signal, and an adjustment pops it back in so the signal flows again. Dr. Foudy does not run every body through the same move. He matches the technique to your spine, not the other way around, and adds AccuSpina spinal decompression with oscillation when the disc is the problem.
- Diversified
- Sacral Occipital Technique
- Cervical Traction
- Thompson Drop Table
- Cox Flexion/Distraction
- Activator Method

He walks his own talk.
Surfing keeps the shoulders moving. Golf keeps the spine rotating. Hiking keeps the heart pumping. Dr. Foudy lives the lifestyle he prescribes, because he expects his patients to live theirs too. You have to brush your teeth, eat good food, and exercise. Your spine is the same.
I love what I do, and I’m not going to stop.Dr. Michael Foudy, D.C.
