Dr. Daniel Cagape
D.C.
Chiropractic
Dr. Daniel Cagape was born and raised in San Jose, CA, where he graduated from Independence High School. It was at IHS that he first discovered his interest for Anatomy and Physiology and decided to pursue a career in health care. He went on to graduate from the University of California Irvine, before moving back to the bay area and graduating from Life Chiropractic College West in Hayward, CA.
His hobbies include staying active outdoors playing sports or hiking and weightlifting. He also enjoys spending time with family, his partner, Becca, and his puppy, Milo.
He decided to pursue Chiropractic because of his own history of sports injuries. He was uninterested in the allopathic systems of dealing with sports injuries, including surgery and drugs; He wanted more information on preventative methods to deal with his injuries. That’s when he came across Chiropractic.
From 2020 to 2022, Dr. Daniel Cagape had the opportunity to work at Almaden Chiropractic and Wellness in South San Jose with Dr. Carl Dieter, Dr Phillip Dieter and Dr. Charles Decker, who have over a 100 years of combined experience.
