Instead of simply masking symptoms, our care focuses on restoring balance at every level of health — structural, emotional, and nutritional.

Emotional Balancing (NET & TBM)
Using Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) and Total Body Modification (TBM), we help clear the emotional stress patterns that keep your body stuck in “fight-or-flight” mode. These gentle techniques calm your nervous system, release old stress responses, and help you feel more balanced emotionally and physically. By addressing both mind and body, this therapy unlocks your natural capacity for deep, lasting healing.

Chiropractic Kinesiology
Through gentle manual muscle testing, we identify hidden imbalances in your body — whether structural, chemical, or emotional. These insights guide highly targeted chiropractic adjustments that restore alignment, reduce tension, and improve the way your body moves. Patients often notice immediate improvements in pain, posture, and energy once their body is back in balance.

Cranial Sacral Therapy
his subtle, hands-on therapy works with the skull, spine, and sacrum to enhance cerebrospinal fluid flow, release deep-seated tension, and restore nervous system health. Many patients describe the experience as profoundly calming, with long-lasting relief from headaches, stress, and musculoskeletal pain. It supports whole-body healing by improving how the brain and body communicate. vement.
FAQ
What conditions do you treat under Pain & Injury Care?
We address a wide range of musculoskeletal concerns—including back pain, neck pain, sciatica, sports injuries, TMJ dysfunction, and postural distortions—using an integrated structural, nutritional, and emotional approach.
Is this approach safe for acute injuries and chronic conditions?
Yes. We use gentle chiropractic kinesiology, cranial sacral therapy, and emotional balancing techniques that are adaptable to both recent injuries (e.g., from car accidents or sports) and long‑standing chronic pain. If you have a recent fracture, we urge you to go to an orthopedist and get an X-ray done. The orthopedist can help you with taping and a sling and any other supportive care you may need for your recent fracture. A complete tear or 90% tear of a tendon or muscle may warrant surgery. We do not provide surgery and we do not do the taping or provide the sling. However, we can still help with the healing process after your 90% tear or avulsion or major fracture has been properly evaluated. We do not take X-rays at our facility.
How many sessions will I need to experience relief?
While everyone’s healing journey is unique, many patients notice improvement within 2–4 visits. We’ll assess your progress at each appointment and customize the treatment plan to achieve lasting results.
What should I expect during my first Pain & Injury Care visit?
Your initial session includes a thorough history, posture and movement analysis, and any necessary muscle testing or neurological testing. We’ll then perform targeted adjustments if they are indicated or other therapies and review a personalized home‑care plan. You should expect to feel better and relieved after your first visit. You may be given instructions indicating rest, sleep, diet, exercise, water intake, protein intake and other instructions. We will explore any emotional upsets from your injury and provide therapies to help you recover and dramatically reduce the pain. We will be balancing your Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture meridians that are directly related to your organs and glands. We will be giving you specific instructions to strengthen your digestion and help you to keep your blood sugar stable. We are thrilled to provide you with a complete solution to your injury. We are able to help most people with most injuries most of the time but we cannot help every injured person with every problem. For example, if someone has completely severed their arm, we will not be able to re-attach their arm.
How do emotional therapies enhance my physical recovery?
Techniques like Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) and Total Body Modification (TBM) identify and release stress‑related patterns in the nervous system, which often unlock deeper, more sustainable physical healing when paired with structural and nutritional care. The issues are in the tissues. Pain is an emotional experience that is registered in the limbic portion of the brain. We provide therapies to help with your emotional state. These therapies are incredibly effective at reducing and even eliminating pain completely in many circumstances. It is not magic. It is a very left brained approach that has taken many years of training and skill development and practice to master. We are the only office in northern California that provides these focused and effective therapies. You are going to love our safe, fast and effective therapies!
What self‑care practices should I follow between sessions?
We don’t know yet because we have not examined you yet and have not yet provided you with care. Each person’s therapies need to be specific just to them. You can learn more about our Custom Tailored and Personalized programs when you go through our Path To Health chart. It would make a lot of sense for you to pick up our best selling book that goes over a variety of different lifestyle changes. The Skolnikoff Method New Medicine For A New You: Inflammation Solutions Handbook is the name of the book. In general, between appointments we will often recommend gentle stretching, perhaps applying heat or ice to affected areas as needed (to help with the release of toxins from the healing process in the affected area), staying hydrated, and following your personalized home‑exercise plan. Proper rest and stress management—like deep breathing or short walks—also support faster, longer‑lasting recovery.
