About the Doctor
Dr. Daniel Foss lives in the San Antonio, Texas USA. Previously, he lived in Austin, Texas, Bend, Oregon, Madrid, Barcelona, and Murcia, Spain, Dublin, Ireland, and San Ramon, Costa Rica. A 1998 graduate of Washington State University in Pullman, Washington, he received a bachelor’s degree in Genetics and Cell Biology and a doctorate degree in Chiropractic from Western States Chiropractic College in 2003.
As a child he had suffered from torticollis when he was in 3rd grade and bent down to pick up a pencil in school. The teacher sent him to the school nurse and the nurse sent him to his family physician. The family physician wanted to prescribe him pain killers and muscle relaxants. His mother, whom did not approve of such strong medications for a 8-year old, decided to take him out of the Medical Doctor’s office and across the street to a Chiropractor. It was the first time anyone in the family had seen a Chiropractor. After a thorough examination the Chiropractor adjusted his neck, he felt better, and from that day forward he wanted to study Chiropractic.
While living in Costa Rica he delivered over 20,000 life-saving adjustments to the people of San Ramon. It was in Costa Rica that he developed a love for Chiropractic and made it his life work to serve life thru natural Chiropractic care. After a year in Costa Rica he moved to Spain where he practiced in Madrid, Barcelona, and Murcia. Spain had always been a dream location for Dr. Foss to practice. He had traveled there many times as a backpacker during his college-years riding trains throughout 17 European countries from Ireland to Romania. He practiced in Spain for 2-years and made his way slowly back to the United States and ended up in Austin, Texas. While in Austin he met his beautiful Senorita, Margarita Lopez, who convinced him to move to San Antonio where he now currently resides.
After a year in San Antonio Dr. Foss opened his office Pura Vida Chiropractic. He named his office “pura vida” , meaning “pure life” in Spanish. In Costa Rica the people say “pura vida” which means to have a pure, healthy, wholesome, and wellness based lifestyle which is what Chiropractic is all about.
Dr. Foss enjoys serving the city of San Antonio and is very active in the Hispanic community with outreach, education, and a passion for helping others achieve health and longevity.
