William J. Ruch

Dr. William Ruch has held a successful chiropractic practice for over 40 years, in Oakland, California. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from the University of San Francisco in 1975. He graduated Cum Laude from Life Chiropractic College West in Hayward, California in September of 1986. In the Spring of 1987, he returned to his alma mater as adjunct faculty, where he taught until 2023. Dr. Ruch authored numerous scientific articles on spinal and pelvic pathophysiology including cadaver dissection study and radiograph photography which have appeared in chiropractic journals. In addition, he has written chapters on the autonomic neuroanatomy of the vertebral subluxation/misalignment complex, and published several cadaver specimens, radiology and photographs in other textbooks.

Dr. Ruch is considered to be a pillar of the chiropractic community for his extensive research into subluxation and his resulting work: Atlas of Common Subluxations of the Human Spine and Pelvis, which was a part of his class curriculum. He also published Advanced Adjusting Techniques, his second textbook on chiropractic care for patients with special needs. His other books include "The Level Pelvis Method for Pregnancy and Birthing Ease," "Got Knee Pain?" and "It's Not All in Your Head." Dr. Ruch has also conducted seminars for post graduate education and relicensing, and he continues to teach the birthing community the Level Pelvis Method to aid in difficult pregnancy and labors.

Dr. Ruch made it his mission to teach the chiropractic community the importance of understanding human anatomy, and why it is possible to achieve the patient’s desired results, without unnecessary procedures, stress, anxiety and pain.
