“Sally was well informed and listened to my questions and gave me very good answers. I appreciate her willingness because I’m a big question asker .“

“Dr. Derik Anderson at the Muscle and Joint Clinic in San Rafael is the best chiropractor in Marin that I am aware of, and I have been to quite a few. He works with sophisticated equipment and techniques that are very efficient for rehabbing muscle and joints. He is an outstanding practitioner! Outstanding!“

“I'm a believer now. Dr. Tino Abon has definitely helped me with my neck and back pain.“

“This place is so fantastic you almost don’t mind that you’re recovering / injured / healing. My daughter and I have been regulars at this clinic for almost a year and a half, as she pre-hab’d and re-hab’d from knee surgery and in my case, as I fight to be as fierce as possible to fend off faux knees. The clinic is fun, clean, friendly, welcoming, organized and all the things. But the secret weapon is the combination of personalized care and best-in-class skill of all the therapists there. We’ve worked with many of the Therapists but have also watched / listened to the others since we’ve been there so often. They are all truly exceptional. To be clear, don’t book an appointment here if you just want to put in the requisite weeks some doctor told you you need to be able to check the box. Do go here if you are ready to learn and work and feel and perform your very best.“

“Dr Kalra takes a proactive approach to pain management, rather than simply seeking to mitigate symptoms. Very happy with my care to this point.“

“Tammara is the best trainer I have ever worked with! Because she is so experienced both as a PT and a trainer, she is really able to tailor my workouts. I have a chronic illness and she has been able to give me workouts that have increased my strength, endurance and flexibility. She is also fun to work with!“

“Absolutely wonderful experience with Chalita at MCA ? such a blessing to have high quality care offered at an accessible price. The space is warm & comfortable and Chalita is a fantastic professional and practitioner. I can’t wait to return. Thank you!“

“On my first visit to Dr. Paul's office, I talked about my ongoing pain and numbness on my whole left side. I had symptoms going on since 2016. On my first reflex test with Dr. Paul, I could feel how different the muscle/nerve response was compared to my right side. I had lost 90% of my grip on my left hand, barely felt my left leg, and had unbearable pain for someone my age (27). I found Dr. Paul through a referral and I am amazed by what I could accomplish thus far. He recommended a corrective care program that would cover 90 days (3 times per week) with a reasonable discount which really helped me since I needed more visits because of my situation. This program included re-exams, re-X-rays, and home care routine exercises with some home kits provided by his clinic. I learned with Dr. Paul that soft tissue and nerves heal slowly, therefore patience is necessary to see results. So as you can see in the images attached, during these 3 months I've made real progress, drinking more water, stretching, and going to my therapy with Dr. Paul. I've let these symptoms take over for so long that my body is slowly recovering only now and I will continue regular care with Dr. Paul until my frequency is reduced to once a month. The tipping point was when the pain started spreading to my right upper back and going to reach my right arm, and I am right-handed. My symptoms were these: Numbness and heaviness on the left arm and leg, head, left buttock, and testicle, difficulty breathing, sleeping and exercising or working, zero motivation to complete tasks, 24h stabbing pain in my back near the spine, burning on my hands and dropping objects, unable to hold objects for over 30 seconds on my left hand, neck pain, heaviness on chest and pain chewing food on my left side.Dr. Paul also explained that shifts in our spine, incorrect posture, and degeneration of disks, cut down the communication (flow of energy) with the organs, slowly causing disease and failure. I still have a lot of work to do and I'm glad it wasn't too late for me.I'd also like to remind you that it's still important to get extra exams done and really get to the bottom of what you're feeling. What I can say is that chiropractic help was fundamental for my symptoms to start going away and finally be able to return activities to moderate levels. I bartend and wait tables, so I am always on the move, getting those regular adjustments also make a huge difference.Today, I feel like I went from 0% to at least 80% in general in these 3 months and I am feeling a lot better, and walking straight, which also makes me feel taller and people definitely notice my new level of confidence by the way I carry myself.Needless to say, I renewed care with Dr. Paul for another shorter-term plan after the corrective care, which will allow me to reduce visits little by little as I'm recovering.“

“Marylin had me diagnosed within 2 mins and went straight to work 'working it out' with deep tissue massage, stretch and a neck adjustment I had been in desperate need of. I left with excercises, focused postures and stretches to perform to keep my stiff neck and shoulders strong and feeling better. Thank you Marilyn.“
