Calm Body. Wild life.
Get back to the life you love — fast.
Hands-on, rehab-focused chiropractic for people who want to feel great now and stay adventure-ready for decades.
you’re not broken, you just need to take care of yourself
You’re the kind of person who is planning weekend hikes, trains for races, plays with your kids, or just wants to move through the day without pain slowing you down. When your body says “no,” you don’t want to wait weeks for approvals or shuffle through big treatment plans of cookie-cutter care.
I’m here to help you get back to your active, balanced life as fast as possible.
How It Works
1. Evaluate
Let’s see if we can find the real issue, not just where it hurts.
2. Treat
Same first visit: hands-on or gentle instrument adjustments without “popping”, soft tissue work, and targeted rehab to calm pain and retrain movement patterns.
3. Return
You leave with simple home tools and a strategy to stay strong, balanced, and ready for the next adventure. No endless plans, no waiting games. Just focused care, and practical movement that keeps you out there being the feral animal you are.
What makes balanced Bear Different
We jump right in to treatment at the first visit. If I don’t think Chiropractic can help you, I won’t charge or treat you. No sales pitch for unnecessary extended treatment plans. Sometimes it just takes one treatment to get you back on track anyway.
Private, single-patient studio for calm, focused sessions.
Evidence-based chiropractic + active rehab to help with pain/stiffness issues you’re having in the short term.
Simple self-care guidance that fits your lifestyle. Education is the most important tool for long term pain management.
No waiting weeks for insurance approval! Same day/week appointments usually available.
I do Rehab Chiropractic in the studio. Expect the use of myofascial release, myofascial decompressing (cupping), trigger point therapy, exercises, education, sleeping recommendations, etc. Rehab Chiropractic is different than the more common >5 minute quick “crack” adjustment: most adult appointments take about 15 minutes (unless you specifically book a "Quick-EASE”). I find that taking the time to warm the body up beforehand aids the adjustment significantly. I have a certificate in acupuncture and use some modalities in the office: gua sha, magnets, and stimulating points. No needling is done in the studio.
Diversified Adjusting Technique: This means mostly hands-on chiropractic adjustments for your spine and other joints. You can be adjusted without being “popped”! I sometimes use an instrument and drop pieces for gentler adjustments of the spine. Great for the baby bears, our older friends, the hurting, the fearful, and the person who responds best to kind touch. Chat with me if this is your preference.
Other therapies like needling acupuncture, massage, in-depth nutrition consults, medical assessments, etc. have an inherent value and I am happy to refer to specialists for any of your needs.
To understand your body, a quick examination of the spine, muscles, soft tissue system is used. There are no X-rays, MRI’s, or scans – but there are facilities nearby if additional testing is necessary to your care.
For the Lifetime Adventurer
Whether your adventure is trail running, chasing kids, or surfing at sunrise, I’m here to help your body keep up.
Chiropractic care is an effective and safe way to feel better QUICKLY and enjoy your adventures until you’re an old grey bear. There are a lot of pieces to this puzzle: your posture habits, sleep, activity, diet/water intake, how you are recovering from mild to severe injury, etc. Chiropractic is NOT a helpful piece for everyone: but you won’t be treated in this office if it’s not right for you: this is not a vitalist practice that believes everyone needs to be adjusted all the time, but instead a practice that is realistic about what treatment can do for you.
