At Cardinal Chiropractic, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic wellness care to our patients. Below are some the different services offered in our downtown San Francisco office.

Chiropractic Care

We provide safe and natural corrective treatments that fix the problem not just the symptoms. Dr. Karri Cardinal's unique approach to the spine is designed to relieve pain and restore optimum posture and health.

Dr. Cardinal specializes in Chiropractic Biophysics (CBP) adjusting. This technique focuses on correcting problems related to patients posture. Dr. Cardinal is the only advanced certified CBP chiropractor in San Francisco.

Acupuncture and Massage

Elizabeth Pearlson, L.AC. has been working with Dr. Cardinal for over 8 years. Elizabeth offers deep tissue massage therapy in combination with acupuncture. A typical hour treatment will consist of a half hour massage followed by a half hour of acupuncture. We find that this combination of treatment is the most effective for muscular skeletal pain and injuries. Other modalities that may be used during a one hour session includes: cupping, moxibustion, and infrared heat.

We are proud to welcome Linda Crane, CMT to our practice. Linda has been providing exceptional massage therapy in San Francisco for over 8 years. Linda has vast knowledge of various massage techniques, customizing each visit to her client's individual need.

Lifestyle Advice Corrective Exercises

We teach our patients' special "posture exercises" designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique posture problem. These exercises will improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction adjustments. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissue can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific posture excercies and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.

We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness. Dr. Cardinal is known to provide no cost ergonomic evaluations for her patients.
