Life West Service Trips

Give. Do. Love. Serve.

A guiding principle that you’ll hear early and often at Life West: “Give, do, love, serve — from a place of abundance.” Life West graduates are poised to enjoy long, successful and profitable careers as Doctors of Chiropractic. We hope to root that success in the mindset of giving back and paying forward.

Following that ethos, Life West operates multiple global service trips throughout the year including travel to India, Tonga and Mexico, as well as opportunities to work with underserved communities locally.

Global Service Trips

Life West Mexico City Service Trips

3 times per year, Life West travels to Mexico City – working with several local organizations to provide chiropractic care to communities throughout the city who would not have access otherwise. It’s an incredibly rewarding trip that almost always fills up due to the relatively short flight from both Life West campuses.

This is an amazing opportunity to put your skills to use for the good of humanity. Spend time (re)finding your “why?” and come home with a refreshed purpose.

Global Service Trips

Life West India Service Trips

Life West works with the Indian Association of Chiropractic Doctors, Sant Nirankari Mission and doctors from all over the world to serve thousands of people from the India community during these service trips to India.

The chiropractic clinic is part of a larger event attended by over a million people. Many of them have never experienced chiropractic care, and students, staff & DCs come back with some of the most amazing stories to tell.

Global Service Trips

Life West Tonga Service Trip

Life West travels three times a year to the island nation of Tonga to deliver care in two-day chiropractic clinics.

The first trip came after a visit from Dr. Saia Piukala, Tonga’s health minister, in 2018. Students, staff and faculty members from Life West traveled to the Kingdom of Tonga in December 2018 for an initial visit to provide free chiropractic care to the public. A fantastic community relationship has formed and Tonga has become a core part of Life West’s service mission.

Life West Service Trips Are Open to the Chiropractic Community

Life Chiropractic College West has a legacy of commitment to service. Our vision is to share chiropractic with the world, creating a brighter future for humanity.

India, Tonga, Mexico, or locally, we highly encourage Alumni + Friends to join Life West on this mission. Service Trips are open to the chiropractic community and you’d be hard-pressed to find a more immediately rewarding experience.

“The India trip was one of the most powerful experiences I’ve had in Chiropractic. I would most definitely recommend it to anyone considering, and I even look forward to going back one day! I am still processing the experience, and a bit beyond words, however, I think it is safe to say that the India trip embodies the concept of Give, Do, Love, Serve and even takes it one step further: Give, Do, Love, Serve, GROW!”

Student Peyton O'Connor

Sometimes you only need one adjustment to make the biggest impact on an individual. We were able to ask people to come back, and we would see huge improvements in such a short amount of time.

Student Allison Land

We were able to have faith in what we were doing, and that it was effective and safe. You can’t put a price on being able to feel what we were doing was the right thing.

Student Alex Lee

“The humility and gratitude for life from each and every person I met brought my heart to a place of peace and love like I had never felt before. It was an honor to both experience the feeling building in me and to have it reflected back into each and every person I laid my hand on.”

Student Dahren Doss

They didn’t come in with any preconceived notions about chiropractic. They were there to heal. We made the adjustment, wished them the best, and saw how far they came. It was incredible.

Student Danielle Jordan

“That experience will forever inform the way that I care for people, because I’ve now learned that language in my hands and in my tone of voice and in my eye contact.”

Student Seraphina Freund

“As part of the culture in the Nirankari Mission, it is customary to touch the feet of the other person when greeting them. After the adjustment, he knelt down on the ground and touched his head to my feet, which my translator told me was the highest form of respect.”

Student Joshua Adams
