Dr. Darcy Oikawa, DC, IFMCP

Dr. Oikawa has always been deeply interested in helping others achieve health. She believes health comes from a body in balance. Nearly 20 years into private practice she found her practice evolving; wanting to offer her patients even more opportunity to address the issues that were prohibiting them from really thriving. 

As a lifelong athlete, Dr. Oikawa has always had a vested interest in human performance, and optimizing function. When facing her own injuries and other health related issues she found that addressing the root cause led her to better outcomes. She also noticed that often the most powerful solutions were simple. Nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management,  simple but essential pieces in the journey to optimizing her own health. These experiences informed her decision in 2018 to begin her educational training in Functional Medicine. In 2021, Dr. Oikawa was accepted by the Institute for Functional Medicine’s certification program. In early 2023, Dr. Oikawa graduated from this program as an IFM Certified Practitioner. 

In many ways functional medicine is rooted in the same philosophy as Chiropractic. A holistic perspective, treating each patient as an unique individual, where care is personalized and anchored in determining the root cause. The belief  that when the body is in balance it is capable of handling stress, illness, injury in an elegant and healing way.
