"I was lucky to meet Dr. Nick at a chiropractic screening in
Salem, MA in 2009. I was struggling with digestion issues and was having some
problems with breathing. Never once did I come right out and tell him this...it
was when he checked my spine and he asked me if I had any digestion issues that
I was intrigued, to say the least! My pictures speak for themselves as far as
how much my posture and even my body has changed since meeting Dr. NIck; I have
really dove head first into the wellness lifestyle that we teach her at SBFC. As
for my digestion and breathing? Breathing is once again something I don't need
to think about (odd that it was ever any other way). A for digestion...when I
met Dr. NIck I was at a point in my life where I was scared to eat anything,
becuase everything I ate made the rest of my day miserable. I can excitedly say
that that is no longer an issue, and as soon as I'm feeling like my digestion is
off, I clean up my diet (based on the wellness lifestyle that we teach), and get
adjusted! knowledge is GOLD! :)

Before I came under Dr. Nick's care at Santa Barbara Family Chiropractic I had struggled with nagging injuries for years. Since committing to care I have experienced the most phenomenal physical transformation. Pains that previous doctors, physical therapists and even chiropractors had told me I was going to have to deal with for the rest of my life have disappeared. I am stronger and more capable than I have ever been, and most importantly, I feel like I have no limits for the first time in my life!

Committing to care with Santa Barbara Family Chiropractic is quite literally the only sure investment you can make in the world. I know I will be seeing returns for the rest of my life. If you're on the fence, just tell yourself "I am worth it!" and commit today!

 On July 4th of this year after spending the weekend at the beach in virtually no pain, I stepped from my shower and felt a searing pain from my left butt check down through my leg into the bottom of my foot. I tried ice, rolling it, ibuprofen and lastly a couple margaritas to try and dull the pain. I even missed the fireworks attempting to lie down and get comfortable. At around 11 PM I was in so much pain I asked my boyfriend to take me to the emergency room, I was admitted by 12 and was on the operating table by 8:30 the next morning. I had a herniated disc L5/S1.

After surgery I was in worst pain than before and had lost feeling in my left leg. I was taking muscle relaxers and pain pills just to function. Dr Nick heard of my plight(Innate boot camp) and called me up to come in and see him. I was weary at first I did not want ANYONE to touch me let alone a doctor that is supposed to bend and crack you. I was pleasantly surprised that he just talked to me explained some things and adjusted me without contorting me and I actually felt a little better.

Needless to say I have been seeing Dr Nick regularly for the last 2 months, I have no pain and complete feeling back in my leg. I feel stronger and taller than I ever have
in my life.

Thank you Dr Nick for being there and making a believer out of me…

Yolanda, a Mom to be.

“Even when I was not pregnant, I was skeptical about the benefits of chiropractic treatment.
Pregnancy is definitely full of different emotions, and discomforts. Early in my pregnancy, I was extremely worried of how things would eventually go. I was already not sleeping well, my energy levels during the day were low, and I was not nearly as mobile as I normally prefer to be. Running my business requires me to be mobile, and be alert and attentive to address a client’s needs and concerns. I was beginning to stress out on the complexities of how to continue my business when I eventually got to a point when I either couldn't work anymore, or when the baby comes and I would need recovery. I decided to see if chiropractic treatment would help. Treatments with Dr. Nick have definitely improved my situation. I am now weeks away from delivery, and I am sleeping well, I am still able to work, I am alert and am highly mobile during the day. Sometimes, I forget I am pregnant, until I see myself in the mirror, or when I try to squeeze through tight spaces. Having a place like Santa Barbara Family Chiropractic doesn't only give someone a place to get near term relief, the team at SBFC provides really good information, in sessions and in seminars. They have made a
believer that chiropractic along with other lifestyle adjustments can and will make me a healthier individual.
Thanks!

I came to know about Santa Barbara Family Chiropractic through Innate Body Boot
Camp, who I’ve been training with since February.  When we moved to our amazing new workout studio at 360 S. Hope Ave, Santa
Barbara Family Chiropractic opened shortly thereafter.  I took advantage of their startup special as recommended by my health
coach (Dr. Nick’s brother).  I had never considered Chiropractic care and never thought I needed it because my back
never bothered me; I also thought that chiropractors just helped to heal injuries.  I did have a plaguing ankle injury that even a specialist couldn’t heal. 
When Dr. Nick said he suspected my nervous system wasn’t communicating properly with my ankle I thought I’d give it a shot! 

I went to my appointment and got a full set of x-rays and some diagnostic type tests that I thought were pretty cool. 
After reviewing it turns out that I had 3 subluxations- or areas of collapsed or ill positioned vertebrae, which in turn cause damage to the nervous
system. They can become very serious and irreversible….yes, both scary and surprising since my back had never bothered me! I’m about 3 months
into my 8 month program and what a difference I’ve experienced!  Not to mention I now have FIVE health coaches supporting me to thrive and
live my best.   

Overall I’ve lost about 25 lbs and 7% body fat.  Subluxations equal stress and stress causes your body to hang on to fat I
now know.  I absolutely attribute my success in weight loss to my chiropractic care because that’s when the weight
really started to drop off.  Overall, I feel healthy and mobile, I have no aches or pains and my ankle
is completely healed.  My husband is a client as well and he feels the same way after years of lower back pain.

Dr. Nick and Jen are incredible, they have set the benchmark for healthy couples/people everywhere.  When I
say they are health coaches, it means they’ll be there every step of the way to educate you and answer any questions you have.  They focus on educating their clients
to aid in healthy decisions that will become lifelong practices.  Their office is incredibly comfortable.  It offers a kiddo area, a lending
library, a sitting area for watching Dr. Nick’s recorded seminars, and of course they have all of the latest chiropractic do-hickeys. 
Jen, my now very dear friend, has a wonderful way with people and will make you feel right at home.  

I feel so lucky to have found Santa Barbara Family Chiropractic and all they have to offer.  Thanks to them I look forward to a life of spinal health, happiness and fitness! Thank you SBFC!
