Back Pain

Back Pain Relief through Emotional Release Therapy & Natural Healing

Chronic back pain and headaches can feel like a constant companion, but it doesn’t have to be. Our holistic, three‑fold approach treats the structural, chemical, and emotional roots of your pain for lasting relief

Is Back Pain Limiting Your Life?

Back pain isn’t just an ache — it can keep you from doing the things you love. Whether it’s lower back stiffness, mid-spine tension, or neck pain, even small tasks like bending, lifting, or sitting at work can feel overwhelming.

At our San Rafael chiropractic clinic, we go beyond temporary fixes like painkillers or injections. Instead, we identify and treat the structural, chemical, and emotional causes of your back pain.

Through gentle chiropractic adjustments, posture correction, and holistic therapies, we help patients across Marin County restore mobility, reduce inflammation, and finally break free from chronic pain.
