Testimonials

I have been visiting Dr Bartlett at Acorn Wellness Center ever since the birth of my second child in July. Recovering from my birth and physically getting back on track postpartum has been so much easier having a chiropractor! I feel so great after each visit and for weeks to come.

My prenatal visits have eased pregnancy aches and pains and helped me remain a mobile and active 9 month pregnant mom – despite also having a heavy toddler who jumps on my back, hangs from my neck and begs to be carried. Visits at Acorn Wellness Center truly have allowed me to achieve and maintain a comfortable pregnancy. I wish I had done this during my first pregnancy!

Acorn Wellness Center is great. I started going to see Dr. Bartlett in my second trimester of pregnancy, which was very hard on my body. Going in was a relief every time while I was pregnant, so I recommend chiropractic appointments as prevention. Once postpartum, I was also able to bring my little one in for adjustments, making sure to start her off happy and healthy!

I’ve come to love Acorn Wellness in Walnut Creek as my go-to for chiropractic maintenance and acute care. I had some hand/nerve issues bothering me over a year ago and Dr. Bartlett’s care and recommendations helped me heal in weeks, after months of suffering. The more I learn about how chiropractic care helps our nervous system and, by extension, all our bodily systems, the more dedicated I am to utilizing this tool for a lifetime of good health.

I have a really tricky neck, due to several car, horse, and gym accidents. I’ve also been going to chiropractors since I was a teenager, and some of them are just not great at adjusting my neck, or take several times to get it right, which I have very little patience for anymore!! Dr Bartlett is a masterful chiropractor, and he easily and skillfully adjusted my neck after a bit of massage. I immediately felt smarter and taller, and my pain levels decreased right away!

Elon is a wonderful chiropractor! He is very professional, knowledgeable and highly adaptable! His background in massage is very helpful. If you’re looking for a great chiropractor, look no further.

I started going to Acorn Wellness when I was 7 months pregnant. I just went for my first postpartum visit and brought my baby. As a new mom who’s juggling a stroller, diaper bag, and newborn, it was the first time I truly appreciated how baby-friendly Dr. Bartlett’s office is. I could nurse my baby in the lobby while waiting for my appointment, the restroom has a changing table, and his baby craniosacral treatment is so effective – she was so calm and sleepy afterward.

Dr. Bartlett was highly recommended by my doula as an expert in prenatal and postpartum chiropractic care. He took the time to explain what was happening in my body and offered simple exercises and massage techniques that I could help myself with at home. After his treatment I immediately felt better. In addition to his care, Dr. Bartlett’s office was very welcoming and especially catered for infants.

After my first delivery, I suffered from Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD) and was confined to crutches for 3 months. So when I was pregnant for the 2nd time, I found Dr Bartlett online and was reassured that he specializes in prenatal care. I was very impressed with my first session as Dr. Bartlett had so much knowledge around prenatal care and I continued to see him throughout my pregnancy and had a wonderful experience delivering my second baby without any issues (no SPD & no crutches)

I am a birthworker and chiropractic care often comes up as a remedy for a lot of things related to pregnancy so I am so glad I found Dr Bartlett. He is passionate about what he does and has a great knowledge about pregnancy and babies. He is my “go to” for craniosacral therapy which is amazing for babies. When babies are having a hard time breastfeeding, sleeping, or with their bowels, craniosacral works wonders and he is super good at it and explains things very well to parents.

My neck and shoulders have historically been areas of pain for me, even to the point of disrupting my sleep or preventing me from doing things I love like playing soccer. What makes Dr Bartlett different from other chiropractors I have seen is the soft-tissue work he does prior to doing the adjustments. I feel the benefits of these adjustments for longer than I did with other chiropractic work. I feel so much better and freer, and I know I am making a good investment in self-care that will keep me pain-free and able to keep doing the things I love for longer.

I saw Dr. Bartlett for the the second half of my pregnancy and it saved me. I was particularly uncomfortable in my mid back and the relief I experienced from my treatments made all the difference for me. In general, I have issues with my neck and I have been to a lot of chiropractors. I am so lucky to have found him. His manor is very caring and he clearly knows his stuff. He always explains to me what he is going to do and helps me to understand my body in a way that is empowering.

Highly recommend chiropractic care from Dr Bartlett! He really takes time to listen, understand patient needs and preferences, and get to know you. Can easily sense his many years of experience caring for patients of all ages. Massage and adjustments are thorough and gentle. I leave feeling great. Specializes in care during pregnancy and postpartum; a new mom recommended his care to me, and I’m so glad I checked it out.

My doula recommended Dr Bartlett during my pregnancy since my baby was breech. Dr Bartlett used the Webster Technique and round ligament massage in order to create more space, which led to my baby girl turning! Every time I would go to him while I was pregnant, I could feel her move around more as a result of having more space.

Dr Bartlett was exceptionally helpful to me throughout my pregnancy – helped to eliminate aches and pains and made me feel more mobile and healthy throughout my pregnancy. I ended up having a rather easy birth despite my baby being “sunny side up” and I credit Dr Bartlett for this!

I originally contacted Dr. Bartlett because he was certified to perform the Webster Technique for my breech baby. After several visits during pregnancy I brought my newborn daughter in for craniosacral treatments and saw how she melted in his hands. Most recently I have visited for hip pain, neck discomfort, and general alignment and Dr. Bartlett has made me feel so much better each time.

Dr. Elon Bartlett of Acorn Wellness Center is surely the best prenatal and postnatal chiropractor in the area. I sought out a prenatal chiropractor because I was experiencing pain in my pelvic area relating to my pregnancy. During our appointments, he has taught me many things regarding the design and alignment of the body, pregnancy, childbirth, and options regarding caring for an infant. I have even trusted him to do craniosacral therapy on my one-month-old son.

Seriously, Dr Bartlett is the best chiropractor! I have been to a few chiropractors in the Bay Area and I always felt like I was throwing away money. Not only does Dr Bartlett listen to me about my body and the issues I have, he also teaches me about what I can do for myself to alleviate pain. I love going to him and I am so excited that he now has a Walnut Creek office. Simply the best.

Dr. Bartlett is a wonderful healer and chiropractor. He is talented and kind and takes his time. I trust him and couldn’t recommend him more highly!

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the treatment I received from Dr Bartlett. He took the time to write out individualized super bills after each one of our visits to make sure I was properly reimbursed by my insurance companies. He was extremely thorough and never missed a pain point — massaging the tensest spots before a more traditional chiropractic adjustment. I don’t know what I would do without Acorn Wellness! Thank you, Dr Bartlett!
