Need a Chiropractor in San Francisco? Check Us Out: No Appointments. No Wait. No Hassles

San Francisco Chiropractor Comments:

I have spent the last 17 years serving the San Francisco Financial District. We were the first downtown chiropractic clinic to offer No waiting-Walk-in service.

Recently, we built a new state of the art clinic at the SF Embarcadero Center. We decided to relocate because quite frankly...it's a much better location than our old Front Street Chiropractic digs. We can now validate parking...and we are much more convenient to more people than we ever were before.

Plus...we wanted our clinic to be eco-friendly...so we wanted to build it Green from the ground up.

We also wanted our decor to be spectacular...check out our Grand Opening Parties.

The name of our new chiropractic clinic is Executive Express Chiropractic. As the name suggest...we cater to busy San Francisco executives and office workers...and we do it in a timely fashion. We have taken our No wait, No appointment needed chiropractic services to a whole new level.

We now incorporate the most advanced chiropractic techniques and equipment into our treatment protocols. For instance...our 10 minute warm-up massage is now a combination of a specifically targeted soft tissue method called Active Release Techniques (ART), which is done in conjunction with flexion-distraction (our chiropractic tables are motorized) stretches to elongate the spine and rehydrate the spinal discs.

ART is famous amongst elite athletes and dancers, who seek it out for specific sports injuries and ailments. ART also works wonders for chronic neck, back, and wrist pain...which is primarily what we treat at Executive Express Chiropractic.

So...basically, you come to the clinic any time during open hours (9-6, M-F & Sat, 9-1), and within minutes you are on a chiropractic table getting your treatment. No Appointment. No Wait. No Hassles.

We also offer non-surgical spinal decompression for patients with herniated cervical and lumbar spinal discs. Next time you are in the neighborhood come check us out. We are located at One Embarcadero Center in downtown San Francisco...on the Lobby Level...right above the Street Level. We can be reached at 415-392-2225.

San Francisco Rated Americas #1 Fittest City

San Francisco Chiropractor Comments:

I had a feeling it would be San Francisco...even before I read the article entitled:

America's 5 Fittest Cities

Sometimes when I travel,  I can't believe how out of shape an entire state or town can seem to be. Then, when I go out to eat...or even go to the local grocery store...I can't find anything I want to eat. This seems especially true in the mid-west.

But here in my home city of San Francisco it's a whole different story. I can maintain a vegetarian lifestyle with ease. Just about all the restaurants have many vegan choices.

In fact according to the study done by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM)...30% of San Francisco residents eat more than 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day, well above the national average...good stuff.

The San Francisco Bay Area is also a great place for an active lifestyle...as there is so much to do and see. And people walk a lot here. We also seem more health conscious as a city. San Francisco leads the nation in Green Business advancement...and a healthy work environment means healthier employees.

We just opened up our new chiropractic clinic at the SF Embarcadero Center in downtown San Francisco...we had our Grand Opening Parties last week. It was important for me to use only environmentally sound construction products...so we built Executive Express Chiropractic Green from the ground up.

But the thing is...we are surrounded by merchants, employers, customers, and city officials that share our healthy philosophy. Yes...San Francisco is the fittest city in America...and we are glad to be a part of it.

DRX9000 Nonsurgical Spinal Decompression For Herniated Discs

San Francisco Spinal Decompression Doctor Comments:

I have been treating patients with the DRX9000 at my San Francisco Spinal Decompression Centers for almost four years now...and the results are outstanding. We use the DRX9000 to treat herniated and bulging lumbar discs...and the DRX9000c to treat cervical disc herniations, cervical bulges, and facet syndromes. Both cervical and lumbar decompression systems work well for degenerative disc disease also.  

In fact, this morning I have a radio interview scheduled with the manufacturer of the DRX9000,  Axiom Worldwide, to discuss how we use spinal decompression at our new Executive Express Chiropractic clinic at the SF Embarcadero Center.

Sure, most of the patients we treat are in really bad shape.  They have disc herniations in the neck, or disc herniations in the low back that have not responded to anything. Most have tried various combinations of chiropractic, physical therapy, pain medications,  cortisone injections, and various forms of exercise and pain management. For these patients...the DRX9000 or DRX9000c is often times a godsend.

However, we also treat many patients that have cervical or lumbar neurovascular compression syndromes, that are leading close to normal lives. They have figured out a routine that works...but as time goes on they feel the condition is getting worse and they want to see if nonsurgical spinal decompression can help keep them where they are.

And some herniated disc patients are completely asymptomatic and they want to keep it that way.

The DRX9000 and the DRX9000c are tools that can be used many different ways. They are drugless and do not involve surgery...they are all natural. So, the risks of injury are very low and the chances of a favorable outcome are fairly high...this is very appealing to many chronic back and neck pain sufferers.

Anyway, this blog is loaded with information about nonsurgical spinal decompression, and be on the lookout for the live interview I am doing today...I will post it on this blog.

If you would like to find out if you are a candidate for the DRX9000 at Executive Express Chiropractic in downtown San Francisco...simply call 415-392-2225 and ask for a complimentary consultation.

Holiday Stress and Back Pain? Consider Exercise & Chiropractic

San Francisco Chiropractor Comments:

These aren't exactly the best of times...as far as finances go and the state of our economy. The San Francisco Financial District is really feeling it. Many of my fellow merchants at the SF Embarcadero Center, tell me sales are off 50% or more...OUCH.

So, here come the holidays...already a stressful time of year for many. This stress can build up inside your body and manifest as back pain...or neck pain...or headaches...making things even worse. 

So...what can you do to prevent this from happening?

Well...#1 on your list should be exercise. Exercise helps rid your body of stress. And, it's easy to do. You can take a walk, run, ride a bike, go to the gym...or workout in your garage. Nothing beats exercise during times of stress.

If you are too sore to exercise, you can visit your chiropractor. It's probably a good idea to do this anyway...the last thing you want is to be in pain during the holidays. Chiropractic and exercise are a good one-two punch.

The chiropractic adjustments help to re-align the spine and remove pressure from the nervous system.

The exercise helps to strengthen and tone the muscles.

Both are stress relievers and do not take a whole lot of time or money to implement.

And stress related muscle tension builds up silently...so don't wait until you get symptoms...exercise now...and get a chiropractic adjustment...

Because you can't afford to be in pain!

Research Shows Exercise Keeps The Brain Young

San Francisco Chiropractor Comments:

Exercise has many benefits. Not only does exercise help keep the body tone and fit...apparently it does the same for the brain. A Taiwanese research study has shown a remarkable ability of mice to stave off brain cell aging with moderate exercise.

Personally...I don't need research to know this...it is self evident. But I guess there is no harm done...the mice are better off with the exercise.

Anyway...check out this very interesting article on the always informative www.revolutionhealth.com.  

Let me know what you think.

Executive Express Chiropractic San Francisco: Grand Opening Celebration Week

San Francisco Chiropractor and founder of Executive Express Chiropractic Comments:

Well...it has been a wild week so far. Wednesday night, the architect that designed our space, Justin Martinkovic of Martinkovic Milford and Peacock Construction, the builder, threw a big bash at our new Executive Express Chiropractic No Wait. No Appointments. No Hassles clinic. The food was catered by Osha , they have a really nice restaurant at Embarcadero Center Four, and there was an exotic scotch tasting...it was quite a party.

Thursday night was the Executive Express Chiropractic official Grand Opening Party. It was also quite festive. We will be giving away a $2300 Human Touch massage chair after we enter all the names into the drawing...we had lots of great food and champagne...and we gave live demonstrations of our services. 

Tonight is the Embarcadero Center CARNIVAL...we will be right outside Peet's Coffee at Embarcadero Center Two...see you there.

Spinal Decompression Can Help Keep The Party Going: Give Your Spine A Facelift

San Francisco Spinal Decompression Doctor Comments:

There are quite a few people out there with herniated discs in the low back...or herniated discs in the neck, that have figured out how to live semi-normal lives.

Maybe they have a 2 hour workout regimen...or a combination of physical therapy and chiropractic...or some special exercises...or all of the above. But as time goes on, they feel the herniated disc getting worse...the back pain regimen that once worked is losing it's touch...what now???

Well...nonsurgical spinal decompression just might be the answer to your prayers. Sure,  most of the herniated disc patients that undergo decompression therapy have no answers...but so what...they don't own exclusive rights to spinal decompression treatment.

At Executive Express Chiropractic at the SF Embarcadero Center, we have many patients that are doing OK...but they want to keep it that way. After all...none of us are getting any younger. Why not use spinal decompression as a tool to keep your lifestyle active, and reduce the likelihood of the herniated discs in your spine spoiling the party.

Hey...pro athletes use spinal decompression technology to keep the spine healthy and increase resistance to injury...it's not just for chronic, severe, crippling back pain...lots of these athletes are feeling good (pro golfers, pro baseball players, pro soccer players, pro tennis players).

Sure, this is a little out of the box...but this is how smart people think. Smart people that want to keep the party going and enjoy life are finding out spinal decompression is the real deal.

If you want to learn more check out the left side bar of this blog, or give us a call for a complimentary spinal decompression consultation. You can reach Executive Express Chiropracticin downtown San Francisco by calling 415-392-2225. Life is short. Isn't it time you gave your spine a face lift?

Your Health and Your Earning Power are Connected

San Francisco Chiropractor Comments:

It sure is hard to be your best at work when you are not healthy...especially if you are taking medications. One of the most common ailments that interferes with productivity at work is chronic back pain. I know, because I see it every day at Executive Express Chiropractic in downtown San Francisco.

In fact, the main reason we setup shop in the SF Embarcadero Center, was to create a place where busy office workers and executives could go for back, neck, and wrist pain...with No Waining. No Appointments Needed. No Hassles.

Because You Can't Afford To Be In Pain 

The San Francisco Financial District is often called the "corporate jungle". And it is survival of the fittest...just like the real jungle. The last thing you can let happen if you want to maximize your earning potential is lose your health. This famous quote says it all:

"When health is absent, Wisdom cannot reveal itself, Art cannot become manifest, Strength cannot be exerted, Wealth is useless, and Reason is powerless."

Herophiles, 300 B.C. 

If you want to keep your edge you need to take care of yourself. You need to eat right, exercise, get plenty of rest, and take care of your spine...because the power that controls your body flows through the spine to all your body parts.

In my 17 years practicing chiropractic in San Francisco...I have noticed that my patients and employees with the best lifestyle patterns...the ones that eat right, get chiropractic adjustments, maintain a normal bodyweight, and exercise frequently...keep their edge sharper. They miss less work, get sick less often, make more money, and have more fun.

So, invest in your health...there is no better Return On Investment.

Executive Express Chiropractic is Green from the ground up

San Francisco Chiropractor Comments:

We recently opened our new state of the art clinic...Executive Express Chiropractic at the Embarcadero Center in downtown San Francisco.

After about a month, we are as busy as many San Francisco chiropractic clinics that  have been around for years. We wanted to create a place where SF Financial District office workers and executives could go...any time they want...No Appointments...No Waiting...No Hassles.

Well...so far so good. Sure, we have to iron out some kinks. It's been very challenging converting over to a completely paperless note taking and patient management system...but we wanted to reduce our carbon footprint.This is also the reason we spent the extra 20% to make sure every material we used to construct Executive Express Chiropractic was Eco-friendly.

Chiropractic by it's very nature is "Green"...after all, the word chiropractic was derived from the Greek roots meaning "done by hand".  

So...we don't put things into the body...we don't cut or remove things from the body...we use our hands to remove nerve interference that results from vertebral subluxations.

Chiropractic is the worlds largest, drugless healing profession. This could not have happened with smoke and mirrors. This happened because chiropractic delivers results...over and over again.

We just take it to a new level at Executive Express Chiropractic...come find out for yourself. For a complimentary consultation call 415-392-2225...or just walk-in during open time and ask for one. Chances are...you will be glad you did.

Good Wrist Pain Treatment Can Be Hard To Find: Is There A Missing Link?

San Francisco Carpal Tunnel Doctor Comments:

  I have been helping patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and other repetitive stress injuries (RSI) & upper extremity disorders in downtown San Francisco for 17 years. One thing for sure...it's not easy to find a good hand pain doctor.

It is very common for a patient at Executive Express Chiropractic to present with long standing arm, hand, or wrist pain...that has already had many forms of treatments and therapies...with little success. It is also very common for us to take the same San Francisco hand pain patient...and get them better in no time at all. How is this possible...what's the missing link?

Well...the missing link in my opinion is the neck-arm-hand connection. It just seems like most forms of hand pain treatment either try to address the pain itself with pain pills, cortisone, and maybe wrist splints. Or...they only look at the site of pain...the arm, wrist, or hand...without regard to the origin of the nerves that innervate (control) the hand...the neck.

The San Francisco Financial District was the epicenter of the dot-com bubble. And I was the one of the "Go-To" doctors for treating computer related neck, arm, hand and wrist pain for many big technology companies. I treated thousands of cases of computer related upper extremity pain disorders. So much so, that we became known as The SF Carpal Tunnel Injury Center.

What I learned was that pressure on the nerves in the neck can predispose the upper extremities to repetitive stress injuries...which can lead to carpal tunnel symptoms and other forms of (hand) pain syndromes. So, when it comes to CTS treatment...your doctor needs to know how to check for (and remove) nerve pressure from the neck to the finger tips. And that's exactly what we do at Executive Express Chiropractic...which is why we have such a great success rate.

Anyway...if you have persistent hand pain, and you feel like you have tried everything...you really haven't unless you have tried us. 

To find out if you are a candidate for hand pain care at Executive Express Chiropractic at the SF Embarcadero Center...please call 415-392-2225 and ask for a complimentary CTS Evaluation.
