My practice is one of my two big passions in life. It is most satisfying to see a patient who thought they would have to live with pain or limited movement leave my office feeling better and hopeful. My goal is to get to the bottom of the problem by careful analysis and then, through the use of Active Release Technique and gentle chiropractic, get patients better as quickly as possible.
Each person presents a problem to be solved. With decades of chiropractic experience I am able to apply the appropriate therapy to help my patients recover and find permanent relief from pain. Your body's ability to move freely and relatively pain free depends in large part on how well your muscles and joints function.

After a thorough examination to determine the cause of the problem a variety of therapeutic techniques will be used, depending on the individual requirements of the patient. In addition to ART, Dr. Britton uses a variety of gentle and precise spinal and extremity adjustment techniques - so that you can feel better and move more freely again.
A sports injury can set you back for weeks, or even months. What attracts so many serious athletes and weekend warriors to ART are the quick results gained without resorting to surgery. It provides relief for many conditions that medicine or physical therapy, or even traditional chiropractic alone, cannot improve.
Prenatal chiropractic helps alleviate pregnancy symptoms. Postnatal chiropractic helps new mothers recover quickly. If you are pregnant or a new mother, you know that pregnancy can dramatically affect your body. A weight gain of 25 to 45 pounds means extra pressure on your pelvis, lower back and hip joints.
Dr. Marilyn Britton specializes in helping people recover from injuries and find permanent relief from chronic pain. One of her greatest satisfactions is working with a client who formerly believed they will always be in pain or physically limited. She finds it professionally and personally fulfilling to see people get better, and get on with their lives.
Dr. Marilyn Britton cares passionately about pets and believes that they deserve the best life possible. Her thirteen-year-old Coton de Tulear, Tony, is a source of joy and love in her life. Tony has inspired her to support organizations that engage in dog rescue and work to shut down puppy mills, which are commercial dog breeding facilities that are operated with an emphasis upon profits above animal welfare.

I’ve been to a ton of Chiropractors (4 in Marin alone) and Dr Britton is by far the best. If you have an issue with your body that you want to resolve - go to her. If you just want to get cracked because you like the way it feels, go somewhere else. She is not happy cracky.
I’ve had chronic issues with my back for a very long time and she took the time to really diagnose and then treat the source of the issue, not just the location of pain. She cares deeply about you getting better and she is a master of Active Release Technique which is soft tissue work and it really does work.

I have had knee issues for years and been to several PT's and Chiropractors. Marilyn was referred to me by a massage therapist and I had the best session with her! She did a working stretching release that helped me realize how tight my thighs were and how to get my knees tracking the right way. She even adjusted my back in a way where it didn't get stuck again in the same way. She is the most knowledgeable chiropractor I have been to along with an amazing sweet demeanor. I highly recommend you see her, especially if you suffer from long term issues where you just are not getting the

Third time was a charm when it came to Marilyn Britton. I had seen two other chiropractors for hip pain, both of who diagnosed lower spine compression. Marilyn thought it was a muscle or tendon injury, and after about 6 sessions with her active release technique and some simple exercises, the pain is completely gone. I knew it was a good sign when I was waiting for my first appointment, and the patient coming out of the office spontaneously offered that Dr. Britton is amazing, and that she couldn't walk a month earlier, and "look at me now!". Dr. Britton is very knowledgeable

Dr Britton is the best! She helped me with a groin injury that had been bothering me for a long time. Massage and stretching were very useful. She recommended some pool recovery and certain movements to avoid. Definitely putting me in the correct track. Very sweet person and knowledgeable professional. Will return as I grow old and have more pains!

Much More Than a Chiropractor
Marilyn Britton is not a typical chiropractor. Her knowledge of underlying muscle structure and her ability to address bound up areas in the body is amazing. She has eliminated an often painful misalignment in my shoulder that has been with me for more than 10 years. Her Active Release Techniques and exercise suggestions were exactly what I needed!
Marilyn is not only a gifted at chiropractor, she is also a very warm and kind person. She is constantly attending workshops and seminars so that she can stay up-to-date on the latest and most effective techniques. I

After 10 days of lower back pain and no relief from exercises and stretches, I went to see Dr. Britton. The Active Release Techniques she uses works wonders, and I was already feeling much better after the first visit. After 2 follow-up visits, I was pain-free and extremely grateful. Dr. Britton took the time to explain how the anatomy works and what was causing the pain. She also recommended some exercises to prevent the pain from reoccurring in the future. I am hoping that the core-strengthening regimen I am now following will help me in the long term, but I will definitely go back and see Dr

Dr. Britton is a lifesaver. I was having very severe lower back pain (in large part due to wearing a boot on my right foot for 8 weeks after an injury.) The day after the first appointment with Dr. Britton, my back was 95% better and following the second appointment, I was pain free. I have never gone to a chiropractor before, but I am now a believer. Thank you!!!!!

Dr. Britton is an excellent choice for injury or sports pain relief. After a recent fall I have been seeing her regularly for neck and head pain and she has really made a big difference. After just the first visit the range of motion in my neck was much improved. Weeks later now each subsequent visit has her taking my healing to a deeper level now that some of my swelling and pain have lessened. I have been telling all my friends who will listen how fabulous she is. Many thanks to Marilyn.

Marilyn Britton is the "Back Whisperer" Her knowledge and skill is just top notch. After just one visit, my sprained back felt great and I went swimming for an hour. She is the best. So glad I have discovered her. And, just like four years ago when she took my pain away after just two visits, she keeps doing her magic! If you have back pain, look no further. Marilyn Britton is the best!

My daughter had severe back pain and after many trips to the doctor, physical therapists, and other chiropractors, I sent her to Marilyn. In two visits, Marilyn made such progress that Amy was pain free for the first time in years. Amy needs to keep at it periodically but Marilyn was amazing. I cant recommend her enough!

I've seen Marilyn Britton several times now for various neck and back issues and have experienced total relief in just one or two visits. This woman has some magic fingers, I tell you! Her active release technique is gentle and very effective. I send many of my own patients now to Marilyn as a complimentary therapy to acupuncture and highly recommend her!

I have been going to chiropractors, acupuncture, physical therapy all to try to help my back pain...you name it I have tried it and spent thousands over 3 years and had only temporary results.
I first went to Marilyn based on the Yelp reviews alone, and I initially went for maybe 5-6 appointments in a row, and since then I barely have had to go because I feel so much better! She really focuses on trying to fix the problem permanently, and I am really grateful for that!
Now my fiancee and my Mom both go to her for similar injuries.
Thanks Marilyn!

I have been dealing with a shoulder issue for many years. I've seen 2 chiropractors, 2 acupuncturists and several massage therapists in addition to using my own fitness training program. I felt immediate improvement in my shoulder as a result of Dr. Britton's work. I find her extremely knowledgeable, honest, friendly and informative. I value her explanations as to what is going on with my body so I can continue to help it heal. I have recommended her to others and will continue to do so.
