Sese Novas, DC

Doctor of Chiropractic

Dr. Sese Novas was born and raised in Spain and maintains her fluency in Spanish. She was introduced to holistic care by her father, who refrained from using pharmaceuticals and instead opted for home remedies and nutritional therapies.

Dr. Novas' interest in natural ways of healing intensified as a result of her athletic activities. This led her to become a certified massage therapist. She developed an interest in chiropractic after experiencing its healing power following a car accident, which left her with intermittent back pain. She was soon enrolled at the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic. She first earned a Bachelor of Science degree and then completed her Doctor of Chiropractic in 1993. Dr. Novas is a member of the California Chiropractic Association.

Her goals are to optimize her patients' health by: improving posture; resolution of muscle imbalances; proper alignment of the spine resulting in healthy nerve function to the muscles and organs; pain relief; as well as treatment for related symptoms that compromise health like headaches, allergies and digestive difficulties. Dr. Novas uses a full range of soft tissue techniques, capitalizing on her background as a massage practitioner.

Dr. Novas is a firm believer in the team approach to wellness and will refer patients to other practitioners in the Center if she thinks their condition would be improved by the consultation. "My main goal as a Chiropractor is to help patients achieve optimal health without the use of drugs or surgery, encouraging them to capitalize on their own ability and desire to improve their health."

Dedication to physical exercise has inspired Dr. Novas to become an avid runner and a long-time practitioner of the martial arts. She has also incorporated yoga into her regular regiment and views it as a perfect complement to her exercise routines. She enjoys the amazing benefits this ancient art has to offer.

Married with two beautiful daughters, Dr. Novas is a very involved volunteer at their school and with their Girl Scout troop. She combines her love for martial arts and kids by teaching karate to children. She has also been involved with Soroptimist International of Long Beach, a volunteer service organization for business and professional women who strive to improve the lives of women and girls.
