Chiropractic Care in
Walnut Creek
A chiropractor is trained to detect the irritated areas and restore joint motion with gentle impulses called chiropractic adjustments. These chiropractic adjustments bring about relief from pain in the back, as well as other areas, and improve nervous system regulation.
Our Walnut Creek chiropractor, Elon Bartlett believes that combining massage with chiropractic treatments makes for an even more effective and dramatic result. The affected areas are targeted with highly refined and therapeutic massage before the chiropractic adjustments, making any back pain treatments easier, the benefits longer lasting, and the relief from pain faster.
Even if you’re not sick or in pain your body may still be acquiring micro injuries that are interfering with your nervous system and keeping you from optimal health. Regular chiropractic care in Walnut Creek can help you have a strong and healthy immune system and stave off illnesses, injuries and chronic degeneration.

Pregnancy & Newborn Care
Prenatal Chiropractic Care
During pregnancy there are several physiologic and endocrine changes that occur in preparation for the developing baby. One such change is the production of the pregnancy hormone relaxin which makes ligaments soft, allowing the pelvis to be more flexible during birth. The effect of relaxin, along with other postural adaptations such as increased weight and a protruding belly, make pregnancy …
Breech Presentation
Dr Bartlett does not perform any medical techniques to turn breech babies. He has, however, been trained in the Webster Technique to address pelvic alignment. Dr Bartlett became Webster certified in 2001 and has been focusing his practice on pre- and post-natal care ever since. The Webster technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and diversified …
Postpartum Chiropractic Care
After delivery, the hormone relaxin keeps making ligaments soft for 6 months. This increases your vulnerability to lower back and pelvic joint misalignment and pain. In addition, baby holding and breastfeeding put tremendous stress on the neck, upper back, shoulders and arms. Many new moms suffer from headaches, neck and shoulder aches as well as wrist and ..
Baby Care
Even the gentlest births are considered traumatic by the baby. We specialize in caring for newborns to release birth trauma or to treat common complaints such as colic, digestive issues, sleeping problems, or difficulty with nursing. We use CranioSacral Therapy (CST), which is a subtle, profound, and painless bodywork technique that releases restrictions of the connective tissue throughout the body.
How We’re Different From Other Chiropractors
We don’t just “crack your back” and send you out the door in 3 minutes like some chiropractors. We spend the time it takes to determine what are the underlying patterns in your body, and then address those with massage and teach you stretches and strengthening techniques to keep your problem from returning.
As a result, the benefits of your chiropractic treatment will last longer, which means you can achieve results in fewer visits, saving you time and money.
Are you experiencing joint pain that’s keeping you from your favorite activities? Do you have sore muscles that affect your daily routine or quality of sleep?

And you can feel better naturally, with chiropractic care.
