Dr. David Lantos, DC

Dr. David Lantos received his undergraduate degree from Long Beach State University, earning a Bachelor’s in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Fitness. He graduated in the top percentile of his class from Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCUHS) with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree, specializing in Sports Medicine. During his clinical rotations, he was awarded the Dr. Lester McCoy Clinical Excellence Award for demonstrating excellence in diagnosis, treatment, and patient management. He served as an attending board member of the Sports Injury Council and Rehab to Performance student organizations at SCUHS. While attending his doctoral program, he also completed over 300 hours worth of continued education credits to serve his patients.

Dr. Lantos’s passion for the human body and biomechanics began as a young multi-sport athlete in Hungary. With the guidance of his physiotherapist mother, he learned that the site of his pain or injury wasn’t always the original source. Like a well-maintained machine, every part of the body must work together in unisense to achieve optimal human performance.

Dr. Lantos takes a comprehensive approach to understanding the human body and its mechanics, focusing on posture, joint-by-joint movement, and muscle engagement. His treatment plans are tailored to each patient’s goals integrating self-mobilization techniques, corrective exercises and movements that aids basic daily activities. He believes that understanding one’s pain is key to overcoming it and that it should be treated as feedback rather than a burden.

When not in the clinic, Dr. Lantos enjoys spending time in the ocean surfing and diving as well as playing beach volleyball on the sand. Being a natural thinker, he’s always looking for ways to improve his skills and come up with new solutions to aid his patients as well as his personal needs.
