The Balanced Atlas

The Balanced Atlas The Balanced Atlas is a NUCCA chiropractic office serving the San Francisco Bay Area.

I graduated from West Virginia University in 2002 with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology and a minor in Aquatic Therapy. I earned my Doctorate in Chiropractic in 2006 from the birthplace of Chiropractic, Palmer College in Davenport, IA. I have been under Chiropractic care on and off since I was I was about 12 years old due various sports injuries. I always thought that being a Chiropractor would be an awesome career because my Chiropractor at the time was the Chiropractor for Guns n' Roses and Bon Jovi, how cool is that! Through a referral I found myself in the office of a NUCCA Chiropractor in my college town. The NUCCA adjustment was so gentle that I did not believe the doctor had done anything. Two days later the sciatic pain that I had for months started to lessen in intensity and was completely gone within a week. I entered Chiropractic college about 3 months after my first NUCCA correction and have dedicated my career to the study and advancement of the NUCCA work.
