People frequently come in to get out of pain; often we don't have the luxury of being able to identify a specific mechanism of injury. In this case, there is often an accumulation of micro-traumas from poor posture or ergonomics or a combination of both. Dr. Pillow works with each patient to get to the cause and teaches exercises, stretches and creative self-care to avoid future issues.
Gwen Pillow, D.C. My interest in becoming a Chiropractor was piqued while working as a massage therapist in San Francisco. There I saw how quickly Chiropractic care got to the core of the issue. I knew that I was ready to continue my education, so I enrolled at Palmer West College of Chiropractic in San Jose, CA.

Relocated cross country earlier this year. As I have had chiropractic care for over 40 years I was anxious, and dreading, finding a new chiropractor. Luckily I hit the jackpot with my first choice! Dr Gwen is very informative. I especially like the education and personal responsibility aspects of her care. Have not encountered a chiropractor who not only does gentle adjustments and provides teaching at every visit. Would highly recommend!

I have been going to Dr. Pillow for several years. I have an ongoing problem with my neck and back and have seen other chiropractors in the past, none of which were very helpful. But she has restored my faith in chiropractic treatment. Her treatments have been a life saver to me! After treatment I have been able to go for many months with no pain and feeling great. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Pillow came highly recommended by my former chiropractor in the Bay Area. I was really impressed at my first appointment. Dr. Pillow asked a lot of questions & fully assessed range of motion and sensory tests. She really took the time to get to know me, both as a patient and a person! She even called the next day to see how I was feeling after the treatment. I am very confident that Dr. Pillow will be able to take care of all of my chiropractic needs - and yours!

Dr Pillow is a great chiropractor. She takes a careful history, she really listens to what you say, she does gentle adjustments (not the scary kind that make loud cracks), and they are effective. Her office is accessible, easy to find, with plenty of easy parking. Her front desk people are friendly and efficient, her office schedule runs on time, and she will almost always fit you in if you have an emergency. I have referred several friends to her and will continue to do so. I'm a medical doctor so I'm a somewhat picky consumer of health care services and I give Dr Pillow the highest

I am glad I have found Dr. Pillow. I was new to the area and searching for a gentle chiropractic treatment, like the one I had in WA, rather than the traditional 'popping sound' chiropractic technique that I am so frightened of. Did not have much luck with the first chiropractor. I did more research on google and found Dr. Pillow. Only a few treatments from her, my neck and shoulder have improved significantly, and I have had this problem for over 6 years. Her technique is gentle but absolutely effective. She does not just treat, she also gives advices on exercise and proper posture

I was having terrible pain that traveled from my neck down to my hand and after 6 months of procrastination, I decided to see Dr. Pillow as she came highly recommended.
On the first appointment she spent quite some time going over everything from my symptoms to information I might find helpful. She showed me various exercises and also did an adjustment. I left her office feeling brand new!
I would highly recommend her for her professionalism and expertise. Great experience overall.

I have always had a fear of adjustments to my neck and lower back, but Gwen Pillow was given rave reviews from friends, so I took the leap. It has been so worth it! She is so knowledgeable and always has such great tips on how to help the areas I have problems with. When I have an adjustment from Dr. Pillow, I am walking tall and out of pain.
