Our Philosophy

Acorn Wellness Center is the result of the long-time vision of Elon Bartlett, who had been in practice in Berkeley for 7 years and then Oakland for 15. His goal is to serve everyone looking for increased health and vitality while also offering a focus on growing families. Growing a baby, giving birth, providing sustenance, and supporting your partner who is going through all those things are stressful events. Dr Bartlett wants to support you through it and has been in Walnut Creek
since 2023.

We believe that everyone deserves to be vibrantly healthy. Many people live with health issues such as back pain, headaches, or digestive issues, not knowing it’s possible to do anything about them.

We treat the source of health problems rather than masking the symptoms, and do it in the least invasive way possible.

In addition to treating existing health issues, complimentary treatments are also great at preventing future problems which prevents increased costs, pain, and suffering.

Elon Bartlett, DC

Elon Bartlett, founder of Acorn Wellness Center, has always had a passion for optimal body mechanics and bodywork which can be seen in his background as a massage therapist and advanced student of Tai Chi Chuan. Another passion of his, empowering birth, began as a child upon seeing images of his own, peaceful home birth. Once he made the progression from massage therapist to chiropractor, he combined his passions by specializing in prenatal and post-partum care.

From his Walnut Creek, CA location, Dr. Bartlett practices Diversified chiropractic, incorporating Activator, Drop, NeuroMuscular Re-education (NMR), and CranioSacral Therapy (CST) into his treatments. His treatment style is gentle and precise, meaning he only uses as much force as is required to achieve the desired result. What sets him apart as a chiropractor is that he begins every treatment with NMR, a therapeutic form of massage, to soften muscle tension first and then uses manual palpation to assess what treatment is needed, only relying on X-Ray when required.

Dr. Bartlett is known as a sciatica chiropractor and a TMJ chiropractor in Walnut Creek. Click “Schedule Now” to start your personalized care plan with Walnut Creek Chiropractor Dr. Bartlett.
