San Francisco Chiropractor Services

Chiropractors (Doctors of Chiropractic) practice a hands-on approach to health care that includes clinical examination, diagnosis, treatment, and, most importantly, patient education. Chiropractors can diagnose a broad range of conditions and are trained to recommend rehabilitative exercises and provide recommendations for nutritional, dietary, and lifestyle changes to help optimize health.

Our San Francisco Chiropractors are primary healthcare providers that focus on the health of the nervous system (bones, joints, muscles, and nerves). As Bay Area Bodywork & Chiropractic specialists, use manual adjustments or instruments that assist in performing an adjustment to a specific location. The adjustment is a safe, specific, and controlled force applied to a joint to restore spinal function and ultimately support a healthy nervous system.

Chiropractors create specific treatment plans and goals based on exam findings to help their patients reach their health and fitness goals. Chiropractic is a non-pharmacological, non-surgical form of healthcare that focuses on prevention.

How Chiropractic Care Works at Avid

Initial Chiropractic Visit

In our Bay Area Bodywork &  Chiropractic practice we assess new issues/injuries during a 40-minute visit with our Sports Chiropractor.  We will take a complete history during this session and perform a detailed physical exam and treatment as indicated.
