Chiropractic is a branch of the healing arts based upon the understanding that good health depends, in part, upon a normally functioning nervous system (especially the spine, and the nerves extending from the spine to all parts of the body). "Chiropractic" comes from the Greek word chiropraktikos, meaning "effective treatment by hand." Chiropractic stresses the idea that the cause of many disease processes begins with the body's inability to adapt to its environment. It looks to address these diseases not by the use of drugs and chemicals, but by locating and adjusting a musculoskeletal area of the body which is functioning improperly.

Care is typically known for:

- Neck/back pain

- Ankle, foot, knee pain

- Wrist/hand pain

- Tight hips/shoulders

- Other old lingering injuries.

We can also help with more specific conditions such as sciatica, headaches/migraines, jaw pain, frozen shoulder, tailbone pain, carpal tunnel, old whiplash, disc herniations, asthma, and overall nervous system regulation.

No two people are alike. We use a variety of tools based on your needs, including:

- Myofascial Release – restores range of motion and function

- Muscle E-Stim – relaxes tense or spastic muscles

- Kinesiotape – supports joints and improves circulation

- Percussive Massage – relieves tension and improves circulation

- Ultrasound Therapy – increases blood flow and promotes healing

You can also ask about other tools before or during your visit.

Under normal circumstances, adjustments don't hurt. You may feel minor discomfort during the adjustment, but it only lasts a few seconds.

Chiropractic adjustments are extremely safe and have an excellent safety record. It is a conservative approach that avoids invasive procedures and addictive drugs. Risks are minimized through thorough examinations, clear communication, and personalized treatment plans based on your health history and condition.

Chiropractors complete undergraduate studies followed by four years of specialized education in neuromuscular diagnosis and treatment.

Training includes:

- Biological and health sciences (anatomy, physiology, etc.)

- Chiropractic theory and practice

- Extensive clinical training

They must also pass national and state board exams and continue postgraduate education to maintain their license.

Yes. Studies have shown chiropractic to be effective in relieving back pain, and more recent research suggests benefits for infantile colic and migraine headaches.

Your chiropractor will ask about your health concerns, medical history, lifestyle, and prior treatments.

A physical exam may include:

- X-rays

- Lab analysis

- Diagnostic procedures

- Spinal examination

These help determine your condition and guide treatment.

We focus not only on symptom relief but also correcting poor posture that causes discomfort. We use traction techniques to restore proper spinal curves.

We believe quality chiropractic care should be accessible, not overpriced. Our pricing is simple, transparent, and well below the Bay Area average — with no hidden fees, ever.

New Patient Exam — $75 (Most Bay Area chiropractors charge $90–$275+ for an initial visit. Ours includes a full health history review, lifestyle assessment, and hands-on physical evaluation.)

Chiropractic Treatment — $75/visit (About 20 minutes of personalized care. No upsells, no surprise charges.)

General Health / 2nd Opinion Consultation — $20 (A quick 1-on-1 conversation to ask questions or explore treatment options — something most offices don't even offer.)

Health & Wellness Talks (for teams or groups) — Starting at $100

Health Educational Workshops (private, hands-on) — Starting at $300

We are currently out-of-network with all insurance plans and do not participate in Medicare. However, we're happy to provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement. No insurance? No problem — pricing stays the same.

Chiropractic restores joint motion and improves overall body function. Adjustments break up micro-adhesions, stimulate the nervous system, and trigger endorphin release, helping reduce pain and improve balance.

When the nervous system functions properly, muscles, tissues, and organs can relax and work normally, potentially improving related symptoms.

Yes. Chiropractic care is safe for all ages.

- Babies receive very gentle care

- Elderly patients receive lighter-force treatments

Different techniques are used based on individual needs.

Joints contain synovial fluid. When adjusted, pressure changes can create gas bubbles, producing a popping sound. It is similar to cracking knuckles and should not be painful.

It depends:

- Chiropractic: focuses on spine, joints, and nervous system

- Physical Therapy: focuses on muscle rehab and function

- Massage Therapy: focuses on relaxing muscles and improving circulation

Each serves a different purpose depending on your condition.
