Corrective Chiropractic
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 one of only a few advanced certified CBP chiropractors in San Francisco.
We also teach our patients individualized postural exercises and stretches designed to help strengthen and correct their unique posture issues. 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 exercises 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.
To complement and enhance the healing effects of chiropractic adjustments, we also provide the following physiological therapeutic procedures:
- Interferential Electrical Muscle Stimulation
- Mechanical Traction
- Moist Heat Therapy / Cryotherapy
- Stretches / Strengthening Exercises
- Custom Orthotics

Chiropractic BioPhysics®
Correct posture is at the core of the Chiropractic BioPhysics method of treatment. The curves in your spine act as levers, shock absorbers, and resistance to gravity; they also protect and reduce forces acting on the spinal cord and nerve tissues. But, gravity, age, poor posture, improper physical activity, injury, and disease can all play a role in the misalignment of your spinal curves and, as a result, your entire body.
CBP can help restore that balance. Following a scientific analysis of your posture and the curvature of your spine, a treatment plan is developed, based on your deficits, to restore proper alignment, relieve pain, and improve function.
Your treatment plan may include a variety of tested and proven CBP techniques, including adjustment, exercise, and traction or what is termed ‘Spinal Remodeling’.
