Nipomo Chiropractor Dr. Janet Gaussoin was affected personally by an auto accident and chiropractic care changed her life. It made such an impact that she decided to return to school to become a Doctor of Chiropractic. She wanted to offer the same relief to her community that she had received, so she opened California Chiropractic.
You will feel welcome when first visiting our Nipomo office. Our goal is to determine the cause of a patient's problem, and, if nervous system interference due to misalignment of vertebra or other bones is the cause, we gently "adjust" the joints to remove the interference. We find that restoring and maintaining motion in the joints helps to keep symptoms at bay, but more importantly it helps patients live an active lifestyle.

Services
We have been serving Nipomo since 2003, and the surrounding area (Santa Maria Valley) since 1992. Our approach is simple. We believe that health is amongst our most valuable possessions. And while we generally meet people after they've lost their health, our commitment is two-fold. We're committed to teaching our patients that true health is a journey, not a destination.
We use a number of highly-effective adjusting approaches to help improve spinal biomechanics and reduce nervous system interference. The approach we use is based on our clinical judgment and years of experience. After identifying which vertebrae have lost their normal motion or position, a specific manual thrust is applied to free up "stuck" spinal joints.
If you've ever gone to a social event where you didn't know anyone, you know how uncomfortable that can make you feel. Our goal is to eliminate every shred of apprehension and make you feel at home. Since chiropractic care involves a series of visits, with each one building on the ones before, it's important that our relationship can go the distance.
At your first appointment at California Chiropractic, you will be asked to fill out paperwork, including a history of your complaint and insurance information. You will be advised of our HIPPA policy, as well as our financial policy. Payments arrangements will be handled with our front desk. After your consultation, you will be examined by the doctor.
On your second visit, if you were sent for x-rays, we will review the x-rays, report what has been found, and begin your treatment. You will likely receive physical therapy such as muscle stimulation, traction, and/or ice. The goal of therapy is to relax your muscles prior to being adjusted. Next, our treatment procedures and techniques will be explained and we will answer any questions you may have.

Dr. Janet is great. You can tell that she cares and really wants to know more about you. Signs around her office make it obvious that she prioritizes health over reactionary care and 'pills'.
She put significant effort to ensure I felt comfortable before she gave my back an adjustment. You can trust Dr. Janet with your back!

Really LOVE the treatment I get from Dr. Janet! I have been to a few other chiropractors, but Dr. Janet is the best of all of them. She has 32 years experience and does an excellent job of working on your problems. Very thorough and effective! I plan on always returning here whenever I need chiropractic treatment. She also has an excellent massage chair that works your back and neck area and feels great when it is massaging.

Dr. Janet is so compassionate and sensitive! She has saved me from pain so many times. And sometimes when I flake and don’t follow her advice, she kindly redirects me and gets me back on course! I have 7 children and they all go to her to help them maintain healthy backs. Chiropractic is the way to go!

First visit here and it was a great experience. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Dr. Janet was very personable and took her time explaining everything to my wife and I. We both felt extremely comfortable and walked out of her office feeling great. The use of the massage chair and muscle relaxing machine prior to the adjustment was a huge plus. She was gentle yet firm and able to move me around for the adjustment. In addition she took extra time to recommend different things we could do on our own for better posture that would help us going forward. I appreciated her taking

Let me begin by saying I really like Dr. Janet, and there is something to be said about being the only chiropractor in town, but I AM DONE. My last appointment I left my 18-year-old son in the car because I did not have time to take him home and still be on time for the appointment. After all, how long can it take for an adjustment? I sat in the waiting room for nearly 30 minutes. In that time no other patients came in, so I do not know why I was left there so long. When I left, I was asked if I wanted to make a future appointment, I was already considering finding a new doctor. Another issue is

Janet is awesome. She's gentle but firm at the same time. You really need that with a chiropractor, especially if you're a bigger guy like myself. She can manipulate me as needed to get the proper adjustment but never goes so far as to cause discomfort or injury. She has GREAT "bedside" manner and I often find myself sticking around (without wasting her time) chatting for a bit. She's great with kids too. My son loves talking to Dr. Janet whenever we come for an adjustment. I highly recommend her.
