My chiropractic journey began in 2006 when a friend of mine persuaded me (kicking and screaming!!) to come and see Dr. Adam.  I was extremely skeptical that a chiropractor could do anything for me.  I was suffering from tendonitis in both ankles for two years and had been going to many different specialists to try to figure out what was wrong with me.  I was also diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. 

I received Cortisone shots in both ankles on two occasions and was prescribed Narcotic pain killers, sleep medications and Anti-Depressants.  I was told that I was either going to "be this way" forever or maybe have surgery.  I was only 31 years old, my hips, knees, and ankles hurt chronically and I could no longer do some of my favorite activities including running, hiking, sports and riding my bike.  The worst part was that I had a 6 year-old daughter that I could no longer chase around due to my chronic pain.  I had to wear tennis shoes with my business suits - which was very embarrassing! 

Dr. Adam took X-rays and did an exam and told me the problem was in my lower back.  I saw Dr. Adam three times per week for adjustments and my pain got worse for a couple of weeks but then a miracle happened!  THE PAIN COMPLETELY WENT AWAY!!  I then figured I could stop seeing the doctor, but after about a month the pain came back.  I realized that in order to relieve my pain, I was going to need to keep treating my symptoms. 

I now see Dr. Adam once a week and am feeling great!  I can do whatever activity I want to do and some other surprises occurred.  I was not having chronic bladder infections (which I had about 8 per year) and my allergies subsided.

I am now a full believer in chiropractic as it gave me my life back!  I hike, run, play with Sydney (my daughter) and do just about whatever I want to do.  I've even worked for Dr. Adam's office for a bit when I lost my job and couldn't afford care.  Dr. Adam is a very honest, caring doctor.  I believe that the best parts of his job are seeing the miracles that chiropractic care creates in people's lives.

Thank you so much Dr. Adam!

I had a lot of constant pain in my back due to old sports injuries and being a volunteer fireman.  I would hurt my back by lifting quickly or from not being properly stretched, because there wasn’t time.  I had numbness in my lower extremities and back pain.  It was so severe I could not stand up straight and I had pretty severe headaches too.

For fun I like to spend time with my family, cook, and golf.  When my back goes out I can’t play golf and I couldn’t go to training for the fire department.  The worse part about being in pain is that it makes you feel older than you actually are. 

Now that I am under chiropractic care, I feel better, sleep better and have no more numbness in my legs.  I still get a stiff back every once in awhile so I still come in to get checked by Dr. Cantor on a regular basis.  It is a lot easier for me to move around now, I have more range of motion, and I golf better!

I really feel that chiropractic is great to add to preventative medicine.  You know most people do some sort of exercise or stretching, but chiropractic sessions just help you stay in optimum performance!

Getting adjusted has been the GREATEST thing ever!

Before I met Dr. Cantor, I was getting headaches almost every day, and MIGRAINES a couple of times a month.  It was hard for me to sit though a movie without feeling uncomfortable and fidgeting.

Since I started care with Dr. Cantor, not only have my headaches gone away, but my allergies have gotten much better.  I can't believe that I can sit comfortably for long periods of time, since I have been getting adjusted.  My performance at work has increased, because I am able to concentrate and stand on my feet for longer periods of time.  I have also noticed other little changes as well.  Things that used to irritate me don't anymore, becaase I am calmer and more relaxed.  Even my co-workers have told me that I seem much calmer.  Getting adjusted has also improved my quality of sleep and my form has improved in gymnastics.

Thank you Dr. Cantor for all your help!  I love Chiropractic!!!

The number one priority in my life is my son and I was having trouble playing with him because I was in so much pain.  I knew I had to do something, when I could barely sit down.  I had shooting pain going down my left leg.  Since I couldn't bear to sit down I stood every where I went, because it did not hurt as much.  I was miserable and cranky.  On top of the pain I started getting SINUS INFECTIONS.

Before I started seeing Dr. Cantor I was seeing a Chiropractor every six weeks, which wasn't really helping.  To manage the pain I would take Ibuprofen and Claritin D, but that only covered up the pain for a few hours and it would be back again.

One day I was getting my nails done and I was complaining about my back.  The woman recommended Cantor Chiropractic Center, because she had such a wonderful experience there with Dr. Cantor.  I had driven by many times, but after he was recommended to me I knew that it was a sign and I had to go get checked out.

When I went into the office I felt very comfortable and calm.  I was not nervous about the chiropractic part, it was meeting a new chiropractor.  Dr. Cantor was so nice; I just knew this was the right place for me.  I really appreciated and liked the corrective care plan he made up for me, which made his office better then the last office.

After a couple of weeks of getting adjusted I started to see a difference.  I am now more limber and I started going back to the gym.  I could continue my hobbies of skiing, and playing with my six year old son.  I was even able to go to Disneyland with my family and enjoyed every minute of my vacation.  My husband and I now see Dr. Cantor regularly to keep tuned up.

Chiropractic works and I highly recommend it and Dr. Cantor!

I am the mother of two very energized boys.  I need to be on my feet and ready to go at all times.  When extreme neck and back pain took over my body, it was a lot harder to do all the activities I wanted to do with my boys. 

I would take Advil, but all it would do is cover up the pain for a few hours.  I didn't know what to do; I just eventually accepted that this was the way it was going to be.  I basically lost hope until...

I met Dr. Adam at the Wildflower Training weekend and received an adjustment.  I was so amazed at how great I felt that I made an appointment to see him when I got back home.  When I arrived at his office he told me all the benefits of chiropractic and I knew that if I wanted to continue my hobbies of swimming, biking, and running that this is just what my body needed.

After a couple of weeks I noticed huge improvements!  I was sleeping better, my pain was gone, and my PLANTAR FASCIITIS was even better!  I couldn't believe it!

Dr. Cantor is wonderful and I recommend him to my friends and family members. 

~Jeanine D., San Anselmo, CA

Josh is my 2 year old, ball of fire with so much energy!  I didn't enjoy seeing my child go through so much pain with EAR INFECTIONS and constantly being sick.  He was usually very outgoing but during these times he was tired and grumpy.  He was 2 years old and not enjoying his life, like all children should.  Josh had been on antibiotics many times and I was not happy about it or comfortable with it.

Dr. Adam told me that getting adjusted might help with his ear infections, and he couldn't have been more right!   Ever since Josh has been getting adjusted he hasn't had a single ear infection.  He can finally be a toddler again and I thank Dr. Adam for that!

Before I met Dr. Cantor I suffered from 3 to 5 severe MIGRAINES per week.  In addition to waking up feeling nauseous every morning, I had severe visual problems and I had been suffering from knee issues, which I believed started from playing high school sports.  The migraines affected my life tremendously.  I was not able to concentrate on school or do my normal activities of daily living.  I was also limited on my fun activities.  I love going on hikes with my family and friends, and due to the migraines I was unable to go on the hikes.

Since I have been getting adjusted, I have noticed huge improvements thanks to Dr. Cantor.  I have been able to work longer hours, and reduce the amount of medications I was taking.  I have been able to resume an active lifestyle.  I am now able to go on longer hikes with my family and friends.  I have not had any more dizzy spells or vision problems since starting care at Cantor Chiropractic Center.  In addition to the improvement of my daily activities, my back and neck pain went away and has not returned.

When I first started care, I could not wait to cut my care down from 3 times per week to just one time per week.  When I graduated to wellness care, I started coming in to the office less frequently.  I started back to school, and after only 3 weeks, I noticed that I was starting to get small headaches again.  I made the decision to continue coming in more frequently so the small headaches would not become migraines.

Thank you Dr. Cantor!  I can now study and do the things that I love to do without the need of prescription medications.

I was having a lot of BACK PAIN, and one Sunday morning in church I prayed for a healing touch.  After church I stopped at United Market and Dr. Cantor had a booth outside offering a check-up.  Dr. Cantor was donating the sign up fee to the Ross Valley Schools.  I signed up and went to his office the very next day. 

Dr. Cantor did an examination and took a picture of my spine.  When we went over the films, Dr. Cantor showed me the disc degeneration, bone spurs, which are bone growths off the spinal bones, and the incorrect curvature of my spine.

I started care and five weeks later I left on a 30 day, 4,000 mile road trip to 7 National Parks.  I did more hiking than I ever did before and I was pain free and felt better than I had in 5 years.

Thank you so much Dr. Cantor for your healing touch. I have had Chiropractic care in the past, but not with the success I have had with Dr. Cantor. 

Was this divine intervention, my prayers being answered?  I think it was!

Like many others my age, I thought chronic pain was just part of being a woman. 

I now know that is not the case! 

Despite constant visits to traditional doctors for treatment of frequent migraines, acid reflux, insomnia, abdominal pain, and constant back and neck pain, they just couldn’t seem to help me.  Even after countless tests, blood work, and even an MRI, in the end all the doctors would do is write me prescriptions for pain killers.  I knew drugs only mask the pain, and wouldn’t solve my problems. 

I am a very adventurous, fun loving person who enjoys swing and ballroom dancing, hiking, watching films, writing, cooking, and I love to eat!  Because I am a high energy person, I couldn’t let my symptoms get in the way of my active lifestyle. 

I met Dr. Cantor at an outreach event, and decided to give chiropractic a try.  Dr. Cantor has been helping me for several months now, and I feel amazing results!  I am more focused, I sleep better, and best of all I have stopped taking my prescription drugs! 

If there is one thing I learned from my experience, it is that living with pain is NOT normal.  Chiropractic truly does improve your quality of life.  Dr. Cantor is a gifted healer – he is compassionate and takes time to listen and understand my needs, and is genuinely interested in helping me.  I came in one day with many questions, and he even took time out of his lunch hour to make sure I got all the answers I needed instead of asking to chat next visit.  That’s when I knew I’d made the right choice undergoing care with Dr. Cantor!

I was involved in a four car auto accident in 2010.  I went to the emergency room because I had NECK PAIN, but thankfully the radiologist let me know that nothing had been broken.

After the accident I suffered from muscle pain in my torso, chest, groin, neck, and back.  I was involved in a similar automobile accident back in 1999, and I knew that Chiropractic was the best solution to getting back on track.

I met Dr. Cantor at ‘The Yellow Emperor’ where I was interning at.  I went to his office that next week because I was experiencing tingling and numbness in my arm.  When I got to the office the staff was very friendly.  I filed out some papers then Dr. Cantor sat down with me to ask me questions about the accident and what was going on with my body now.  He did an examination and took x-rays of my whole spine.  Dr. Cantor let me know that the whiplash and disc degeneration were the culprit of my arm pain and tingling.

After seeing Dr. Cantor and him addressing my injuries, I finally felt cared for.  I occasionally experience some numbness in my hands but it is quite minimal in comparison to the problems that I have had.  I realized after speaking with Dr. Cantor that this was going to some time to fully recover.  He explained to me that we were working past getting me out of pain and that we were fixing the problem.

If you know anyone who has been involved in an accident and is suffering from bodily injury, I strongly suggest they minimize their pain and suffering by getting Chiropractic care like I have.  Dr. Cantor has helped me a great deal and I strongly encourage Chiropractic care with him.

Thank you for caring Dr. Cantor!

I was at the point with my BACK PAIN were I could not do a lot of my favorite activities without tremendous discomfort.  My neighbor told me about her amazing recovery from all sorts of issuers after going to see Dr. Cantor and she continuously urged me to go see him.  I decided it was time to try something new, I was very skeptical that a Chiropractor would do anything to relieve my pain from two RUPTURED DISCS in my low back but at this point I was willing to try anything. 

When I first met Dr. Cantor I was impressed by how knowledgeable he was and with his easygoing demeanor.  He explained to me that even though my discs were damaged he could realign my back and neck to alleviate my pain and help reduce the symptoms that I was having in that area.  In addition he said my allergies, which I suffer from greatly, would quite possibly be reduced as he removes the pressure off the spinal cord. 

After going to Dr. Cantor for a few weeks the constant pain dissipated.  I have now been under care regularly for several months.  I can do all of my favorite sports, water skiing, snow skiing, tennis and golf, without worrying about my back.  My profession as a contractor is manageable now and my allergies have gotten better as well. 

Dr. Cantor’s staff has been fantastic and I have nothing but praise for them.  I would highly recommend and encourage anyone who is suffering from back pain, neck pain or allergies to try Cantor Chiropractic Center they are the best. 

Thank you soooooooooo much!!!

My life has changed tremendously since I started care at Cantor Chiropractic Center. 

For a long time I have had a lot of problems with ALLERGIES AND MY BACK.  I was suffering for 5 years until a friend refereed me to Dr. Cantor.  Before going to Dr. Cantor’s office I visited my General Physician. My GP would only say “Patricia you need to take the medication we prescribed, otherwise if the pain continues we have to operate on your back.”  I didn’t like the sound of having surgery so I opted to choose something different.  I was tired of taking so may pain killers and my back and sinuses were not getting any better. 

One day when my allergies were at their worse my friend saw how miserable I was and reminded me about Cantor Chiropractic Center.  When I called, the office, the staff was very friendly and helpful.  I had a good experience and it seem like they understood what I was going through.  They were able to get me in right a way. 

I started going and I felt a HUGE difference!  I don’t have mucous sinus pressure buildup; I was able to breathe clear without any inhalers in the mornings.  The pain in my back was getting less with every adjustment. 

Oh Boy!!!!  I am pain free for the first time in years.  I use to get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom several times at night making sleep an issue.  I couldn’t have a good night sleep for months.  I can’t believe I waited so long to feel like this!  I’m able to sleep through the night for the first time in months. 

I can’t believe all the things Chiropractic helps me with.  Now I enjoy the outdoors with out any sinuses problems, and I can walk without my back hurting.  I have so much more energy than before. 

My life has changed thanks to the help of Dr. Cantor and Chiropractic.

After breaking my back in 1995 I lived with CONSTANT LOWER BACK PAIN.  My doctors told me it was just something I would have to live with.  Along with the lower back pain I got MIGRAINES and had trouble sleeping.  In 2006 I got rear ended in a car accident; and I wasn’t able to stand up straight and was in a great deal of pain. 

I came to Dr. Adam and within two weeks I was standing straight and without pain.  Within two months I no longer was getting migraines.  Today I have no lower back pain, and I haven’t had a migraine in one and a half years!  I also have had bad knees which Dr. Adam has been helping me with as well. 

In the last two years I have lost 170 pounds and I feel like getting adjusted has helped me with that as well!

Thank you Dr. Adam you are the best!

After experiencing back surgery and not having seen a chiropractor in 6 years I was so happy to meet Dr. Cantor.  Even after back surgery I was still experiencing back pain and it was affecting my every day activities.  Just putting my shoes on was becoming a chore.  With the type of work I do the back pain was making it difficult for me to practice my art.  At work I have poor posture and it puts a lot of stress on my back, which cause me to be in pain.

Being under Dr. Cantor’s care has made such a HUGE difference in my life and how I feel overall.  Not only do the adjustments help with getting ride of the back pain, but also my immune system and energy levels have increased since I started getting regular care again.  My overall health has improved tremendously.

I swear by Chiropractic and will be getting adjusted regularly for the rest of my life.

Thanks a million Dr. Cantor!

~Matt H., San Rafael, CA

Six months ago I injured my spine between my shoulder blades.  I was in terrible pain, and my body felt like it was all twisted.  I was unable to lie down in any position.

When I came in to see Dr. Cantor he did an examination and took x-rays of my whole spine.  It was good to see what was going on with me and to find out Dr. Cantor could help me was awesome.  After just three adjustments the pain is gone.

I have complete FAITH in Dr. Cantor!

~Kenneth O., San Anselmo, CA

WOW! Getting adjusted has been such a blessing! 

Before, I began this life changing experience I got horrible headaches, about 2 to 4 times per week.  My neck was always stiff and my low back killed me every time I bent over.  I thought I was ageing before my time, especially since I am only 15 years old.

After talking to Dr. Cantor and his Assistant Claudia, my family and I decided Chiropractic was the right way to go.  After getting adjusted twice a week for a short period of time all the headaches, neck stiffness, and low back pain disappeared!  It was AMAZING!

I am able to get back to playing sports with success and I have a lot more fun now.

Now my whole family goes, including my Grandparents!

~Samonti S., Point Reyes, CA

Being only 28 years old I couldn’t believe the pain I was feeling.  I had sharp sever pain in my back and hips.  I was getting horrible headaches and had pains in my neck. 

I tried a lot of western medicines and even had an MRI!  The medications I was prescribed only covered up the pain and symptoms but it was all short lived.  I would be right back in pain as soon as the medication wore off.  I wanted something that would set me free from the pills and actually fix the problem.

I heard about Dr. Cantor through a trusted family friend, so I set up an appointment and had an examination and x-rays taken.  Dr. Cantor saw what was going on with my spine and put me on a care plan that required me to come in three times a week for a few months.  Even though I had a very busy schedule I made sure to make my appointments knowing how important it was. 

One of my favorite things about coming to the office is that they implemented overall good health.  Not only are they a natural way of healing but Dr. Cantor makes a point to talk about eating right, drinking plenty of water, exercise, getting enough sleep, and over all happiness.  This was right along the lines of how I felt, so I knew this was the right fit for me and I knew it would be easy for me to follow.

Chiropractic has changed my life and enabled me to continue doing the things I love.  I can take long beautiful motorcycle rides and I can workout with zero pain.  It is almost funny how after changing a few things that I was doing could make such a huge difference in my life. 

Dr. Cantor is a miracle worker and Chiropractic has made my life better!
