Your San Francisco Chiropractor

Are you currently having any of the following pain issues?

Neck Pain
Back Pain
Wrist Pain
Tennis Elbow

Shoulder Pain
Knee Pain
Ankle Pain
Foot Pain

I ask about these particular problems for a reason. The practice of Chiropractic now includes some remarkably innovative approaches for dealing with them.

In my San Francisco Chiropractic practice, I take particular pleasure helping relieve people of their chronic pain. (Read My Story for more on how I got into chiropractic in the first place).

Unlike many other chiropractors, I also make a point to spend time with you every time you come in and closely track your progress.

It's my goal to be your partner in your pain relief.

We Use Only Comfortable, Proven Pain Alleviation Techniques

I offer the wide range of proven chiropractic pain management approaches. You and I would need to sit down together to decide which method is appropriate for your particular need. These approaches include:

Acupressure
Kinesio-Taping
Traction Therapy
Trigger Point Therapy
Activator Therapy
Application Of Heat Or Ice
The Graston Technique

The last of these, "The Graston Technique," has an incredible track record. Fully 87% of patients nationwide (including many professional athletes) who have been treated with the technique have had their condition resolved. That’s a lot of pain ended, sometimes forever.

Like all Chiropractic treatments, The Graston Technique is non-invasive. It involves the use of special instrumentation against the skin to directly address pain in soft tissue lying beneath. That includes pain you may have in muscle, ligaments, tendons and other areas.

If you are currently hurting in the areas mentioned above, call my office now at 415-566-7134 and let’s sit down and discuss which chiropractic treatment is right for you.

Why It’s Wise To Think “Outside The Bottle” For Pain Relief

If you’re in pain, I hardly need to tell you how it affects your life. Your pain goes wherever you go. And sometimes you’re not able to go very far because of your pain. You often take it to work. You take it to bed. You take it everywhere.

For a great many people the “quick fix” comes in a child-proof container. This is not to say that pain medications are not necessary and a godsend for certain types of pain.

But for a good many people with age-, stress- and injury-related pain, lasting relief will never come in a bottle. At best, it will only serve to mask the pain.

You see, a Chiropractor’s goal is not to give patients drugs so they don’t feel their pain. Our goal is to discover the source of the pain and correct it.

Suffering from Arthritis?

I can help you without the need for medication

The kind of chiropractic treatments I offer brings welcome relief from symptoms of arthritis. If you are a victim, you know the cycle: The joint pain immobilizes you and when you become less mobile, your arthritis worsens and then there is more pain. Chiropractic improves mobility and reduces pain. My treatment increases the range of motion in the arthritic joint without pain. Thus your mobility returns and arthritis is slowed or arrested. Let’s sit down and talk about your particular situation and how I can help you right away.

I was skeptical about Chiropractic when I applied for a job here...

Three years ago, I walked in to apply for the job of Dr. Swanson’s assistant, and I was not very schooled in Chiropractic. In fact, I was pretty much a skeptic of any other treatments besides going to see the family doctor. (Actually, I was pretty surprised I got hired!)

Today, after being a witness to so many changed lives thanks to the effects of Chiropractic treatments, I’m such a strong believer. And even more so because of the doctor’s style of care. It is not uncommon for him to spend 45 minutes to an hour on a first evaluation of a patient. That’s unheard of in most physician practices – but Dr. Swanson really wants to get to know his patients before recommending any treatments or procedures. Believe me, this is the kind of doctor every pain patient should have.

Sit down with me… let’s discuss your pain and how I can help

I like to take my time in getting to know a patient. That’s just me. I’m interested in learning about you, how you live your life and how you want to live your life. I want to know all about your pain and I want to introduce you to the right Chiropractic approach to deal with it.

I do not charge for my initial consultation with you. It’s only fair that you should know exactly what we have to offer you…and what’s workable in your situation.

If I feel the management of your pain is better suited for treatment by an M.D., I will refer you to one who I feel is best for your needs.

How long have you experienced pain
and how much longer will
you wait to address the root cause?

Years ago, I remember hearing an old expression that you probably remember, too. It was, “Everything comes to he or she who waits.” Unfortunately, while that may apply to other areas of life, when it comes to dealing with pain, waiting only brings more pain…as well as the other affects it can have on your life, your relationships, your career, your happiness.

With a visit to my office, you have absolutely nothing to lose (as mentioned, I provide a complimentary get-to-know-each-other appointment) and so much to gain in terms of the quality of your life.

Please call my assistant, Bettie--whom you’ll appreciate for her warmth and gentle care--to schedule an appointment. Or, if you’re in severe pain right now, let us know and we’ll make an extra effort to see you immediately.
