About Dr. John Riordan
In my early twenties I had two "eye opening" events in my life. The first one was literal. I received my first pair of eyeglasses. I still remember how amazed I was to see the world for the first time. It was so crisp and clear. I didn't know that the world was so beautiful and distinct looking. I had gradually gotten used to blurry vision, and didn't even know that it was not normal.
The second was in regards to my back. I was born with, or grew up with, scoliosis and was never diagnosed as a kid. I always had back pain, but I thought that was a normal part of life. My father decided to go back to school later in life. After I had left home he began chiropractic school. I had not even heard of "chiropractic" until then. I went to visit him one day, and he practiced on me. What a difference I felt. It was if my eyes were opened once again. There was life without back pain. I learned then that back pain was not normal!
Many times in my practice I have had patients tell me "Oh, that's just my normal back pain." My goal in life has been to open people's eyes to the fact that back pain is not normal. I have seen time and time again patients discover this truth for themselves under my care. It is an awesome experience to see their eyes opened for the first time.
I'd like to share a little about myself. My name is Dr. John Joseph Riordan. My friends and patients usually call me "Doc" or Dr. John because my last name is difficult for most to pronounce. I prefer that, but just for the record it is pronounced "rear-done".
I was born in Grants Pass, Oregon. I am the oldest of 13 children, 11 boys and 2 girls. We were always a very poor, but a very happy and close family. We lived there until I was in my freshman year of High School. It was then that my family decided to move closer to our Hawaiian roots my grandmother is 1/2 Hawaiian, and we moved to Hawaii. I fell in love with Hawaii and most especially the beach and the beautiful mountains.
