Sports Medicine in Santa Maria

“I’ve been a patient of Pierce Chiropractic for about 15 years, so believe me when I say how great they are there. I go on a regular basis, as Dr. Beau calls it, a monthly tune up. In recent months, though, I have been seeing Dr. Richie, who has given me a path to feeling well again: visits were once a week then now every two weeks. Unfortunately, I had a jarring fall a few years back, causing more problems than I thought at the time. My chiropractic care is my health/wellness journey. From being adjusted, learning stretching and exercise techniques, and just learning about my own physiology and how to help myself, my pain has gone from about 7-8 to about 2. For me that’s remarkable! I highly recommend Pierce Chiropractic for injury care. Did I mention how nice the front desk staff are? When I call, they always try their hardest to fit me in that day, and at the office, they always greet me with a smile. This is a doctor’s office who knows how to treat their patients.

“My OB referred me to Karen for pelvic floor therapy at Santa Maria Valley PT due to back and hip pain related to pregnancy. Karen took the time to provide education regarding pelvic floor and the benefits of strengthening it, including alleviating back and hip pain. I was surprised how many exercises and stretches there are; all of which were helpful. Karen also gave me tips for movement during labor to help with baby’s positioning and descent. The most helpful piece of advice was the updated recommendation of how to breathe while in the pushing stage of labor. For my first pregnancy, I was only in labor for ~6hrs and only pushed for 1 hour. The delivering OB relayed that I had no tears and attributes this to the daily stretches I did for about a month and a half. I had a very smooth labor and think that pelvic floor therapy by Karen greatly contributed. Thank you Karen!“

“Paul and staff, very caring and supportive. I highly recommend and appreciate their caring attitude when I was rehabbing from hip surgery.“
