Chiropractor serving San Rafael, CA
Trusted chiropractic care for San Rafael
About 12 minutes (8 miles) from our Novato office
Living in San Rafael means a lot of time on US-101, the daily push south toward the Golden Gate or north toward Novato and Sonoma. If you’re looking for a chiropractor near San Rafael, our Novato office is about 12 minutes up the freeway. All those miles behind the wheel, plus long hours at a desk downtown or in a Terra Linda home office, add up to the kind of back pain we treat, along with neck strain that can radiate into arm pain.
When a crash happens on the freeway or on Fourth Street, our Novato office focuses on auto-accident care, with on-site X-ray imaging so injuries like whiplash can be evaluated and documented in a single visit.
For San Rafael patients dealing with disc trouble or a pinched nerve, non-surgical spinal decompression is an option worth asking about. The office sits just off US-101 at the San Marin Drive and Atherton Avenue exit, an easy drive north from any San Rafael neighborhood, from the Canal to Peacock Gap.
Proudly serving: Downtown / Fourth Street, Terra Linda, Gerstle Park, Sun Valley, Dominican, The Canal, Peacock Gap, Montecito.
San Rafael is the busy heart of Marin, from the county seat offices at the Civic Center to the shops along Fourth Street, the students at Dominican University, and families settled in Terra Linda, Gerstle Park, and Sun Valley. All that commuting, sitting, and screen time adds up to the everyday back, neck, and nerve pain we help with.
US-101 runs the length of the city, and that means long daily commutes and the occasional fender-bender. Our practice focuses on personal-injury and auto-accident care, backed by on-site X-ray imaging and medical-legal evaluation, so a San Rafael patient hurt on the freeway can be examined, imaged, and documented in one place.
Getting to us is easy from any San Rafael neighborhood. The office sits just off US-101 at the San Marin Drive and Atherton Avenue exit, roughly a quarter-mile up Redwood Boulevard, and we take a drug-free, non-surgical approach to care.
