Our Techniques

We use a number of safe, gentle, painless and highly-effective adjusting approaches to help improve spinal biomechanics and  nerve system function. Each person we see is as unique as a fingerprint and we tailor our approach to each one of you as  individuals.

We utilize pediatric techniques for infants and children, with some adjustments requiring as little as six ounces of measured pressure held for 30 to 60 seconds on specific spinal segments.

Typically, we use a combination of manual and mechanical instrument adjusting techniques. Most people that we see are amazed at the gentleness of our approach.

Dr. Fulanovich Asks some important questions of interest to Palo Alto residents - Chiropractor Palo Alto Dr. Fulanovich Asks...

Can those with osteoporosis get chiropractic care?
Of course. When developing a care plan, we consider the unique circumstances of each patient. There are many ways we can adjust the spine. The chiropractic method we select will be best suited to your age, size and unique situation.
Could a chiropractor put an end to bedwetting?
If bladder control seems elusive, consider chiropractic. If spinal bones are interfering with nerves that control your child's bladder, plastic sheets, alarms and other methods simply add to the embarrassment.
