Our Practitioners
What do we think about Acupuncture, Massage Therapy or Naturopathy? Every day, our patients ask our professional opinions on contemporary forms of health care. Our answers are generally based on our experiences, the research we read, and the clinical results we have seen in practice. We have found a multi-disciplinary approach to health and wellness is by far the most comprehensive.
At the SLO Wellness Center we incorporate many different treatment modalities to ensure patients get better quicker. You can receive acupuncture, massage or skin care as “stand alone” treatments or as complements to your chiropractic care. Additionally, we have an extensive referral network within the community which includes the following disciplines:
- Physical therapy
- Sports nutrition
- Orthopedics
- OB/GYN
- Functional training
- Internal medicine
- Counseling psychology
- Yoga
Take a moment to “meet” our practitioners. As you can see, they are educated, well trained, compassionate healers.
