My personal chiropractic story begins 26 years ago with a small incident that ended up having much bigger effects on my life later on. I was introduced to chiropractic as a result of breaking the cardinal rule, "lift with your knees not with your back". I was working out at the gym and lifted a weight improperly.
Most people experiencing ankle pain seem to attribute it to a sprain that never healed properly. Although often dismissed as "just a sprain", an ankle sprain can have long-term negative effects, not only on the joint itself but on the mechanics of the rest of the body. Decreased motion often remains in the ankle after a sprain has healed.
Elbow pain very commonly arises from various types of repetitive stress, often from sports. In both cases, the tendons and muscle attachments on that side and the joint itself have become inflamed. Zollner Chiropractic offers advanced elbow pain relief treatment in his state-of-the-art facility in San Rafael, CA.
Each foot is comprised of 26 bones. This is the same number as in the entire spine! All these individual bones are designed to move and articulate with each other in a certain way. Foot pain can take various forms: plantar fasciitis, neuromas, bunions, metatarsalgia. Women tend to have more foot pain issues than men, due to constricting footwear.
Headache pain can respond well to chiropractic care. Although the pain is felt in the head or more specifically the muscles surrounding the head, the nerves that supply these muscles originate in the neck. Headaches are often dismissed as a common occurrence. And yet for many people, they can rise to a level that severely affects their quality of life.

I was referred to Dr. Zollner for neck issues after a minor car accident.
Like someone else said, when you meet Dr. Zollner and start treatment, you just feel truly lucky that you landed in the right hands. He is genuinely friendly, kind, compassionate, thorough, patient, professional and knowledgeable. He is also a good listener, so the care plan is flexible and always on point with exactly what you need help with at that visit.
His office staff is always friendly and smiling as well which always says a lot.

I can't recommend him enough!

I was referred to Dr. Zollner by my old chiropractor in Monterey when I moved back to Marin. Boy did I get lucky! I started seeing Dr. Zollner 3 years ago and can't believe it's taken me so long to write a review.

I really can't say much that hasn't already been said in the other reviews here other that they are all true -- he's an incredible chiropractor and in the Top 10 in Yelp! for chiropractors in San Rafael. He's actually better than any chiropractor I've had anywhere. Why?

Aside from he really knows what he's doing, he's give a very comprehensive

I work as a digital artist and due to decades of poor posture at a computer as well as a few major injuries, It felt like my days as a freelance artist were over. I could still teach, but I missed the quiet hours I had at my desk, getting lost in the art of creation.
Dr. Zollner, with his gentle chiropractic techniques, gave me a part of my life back that I thought was gone forever. To be able to get in the creative zone is a true blessing in my life. Thanks Dr. Zollner! From a very happy artist :)

I have been seeing Dr. Zollner for over 10 years, as I age into my '60s, and continue to challenge my body. "Doc" is a serious student of health, wellness, and pain management, as well as Chiropractics! He explained to me, in a 3 minute talk, about the detriments of sugar and its effects on the body, mind, and general health. He does not judge, but educates. The "non-force" method of adjusting is easy on the spine and related body parts. Dr. Zollner is devoted, knowledgable, and a superior practitioner. I recommend him for your Chiropractic needs!

My husband encouraged me to see Dr. Zollner after his visits to the chiropractor really helped him a lot. By the time I left the office after my my initial visit, I felt better, and the headache I arrived with was gone. Dr. Zollner diagnosed several issues with my neck and back. After seeing him for short visits over a few weeks, I began to experience noticeable improvement. My headaches disappeared, my back and shoulder pain reduced substantially, my energy level improved, and I slept better since I was no longer waking up in the middle of the night with hip pain.

Dr. Zollner is a great practitioner. If you are hyper mobile, his gentle technique works wonders without the harsh approach of standard chiropractic adjustments. He's very knowledgeable regarding exercise and nutritional supplemental support as well. He is a genuinely kind and caring person and very astute in his diagnosis of various issues. I highly recommend him and his approach.

Dr. Zollner continues to remove the pretzel twists from my back whenever they start to incline my spine back into its default scoliosis position. I have been seeing him for more than 10 years. Recently, I saw him for a new problem. An old injury came back in a calf muscle, limiting my stride length, and the doctor corrected the problem for me within days. Dr. Zollner is a wonder. Don't hesitate to see him for your own muscle cramp and back issues.

Dr. Zollner is amazing! He has a kind, caring manner, really listens, uses a gentle technique that is very effective. Dr Zollner has helped me immensely, I was becoming hunched over and limping but now am more erect than I have been 15 years and walking fluidly again. Most of my pain is gone and he even did more for a knee issue I had than a year of physical therapy after surgery. I sing his praises to everyone.

I've had an extremel awesome experience as Dr. Zollner really knows some tricks that other chiropractors do not. He cured my plantar fasciitis by custom creating insoles and did some therapy which really helped. I continue to go in order to keep the nervous system in optimal alignment so I don't get sick under these extremely stressful times.

Dr. Zollner is a God send. Our whole family has been going to him this year for 5 months now. We all feel taller and stronger with out the aches and pains that we have all had. He is so kind and really cares how our treatment is going. I have had many surgeries and have been on pain meds for some years. After 2 weeks I started noticing I wasn't needing them during the day, pains have lessened. My husband who had been in a car accident at the end of last year is not hunched over in pain anymore. He also had a back issue since our little one jumped on him 29 years ago and that has gone away

Dr. Zollner is Amaizing. Two years prior to seeing him I injured my back at work and it was really catching up with me. I was having a hard time making it through work and since I've started working with him my life has been a lot better. I'm improving a lot and I'm planning to work with Dr. Zollner more because I'm finally on the path of getting my body back to where it once was

Dr. Zollner's technique is precise and his manner is professional, but what makes him truly outstanding is his compassion and his abiding dedication to his patients.
I've been seeing Dr. Zollner for more than five years. As my pain and discomfort dissipated under his care, I began listening to his health advice generally. Instead of coming to him only in crisis, I came to him to *avoid* the crises in the first place. Oddly enough, I'm saving money and time because, well, as the saying goes, a stitch in time saves nine.

I originally visited Dr. Zollner with a stiff neck that limited my ability to turn my head and made it difficult to drive. He asked if I had any other issues bothering me. I had a nagging discomfort in my hip which had been plaguing me for more than a year. Within several treatments, the persistent discomfort had resolved enough for me to start running again. I was able to get back to an activity I loved. Under Dr. Zollner's care I was able to train for my first Half Marathon, he kept me in tip top shape and injury free. Thank you Dr. Zollner for your extraordinary care.

As an active young adult, volleyball being my sport of choice, I've spent plenty of time in a chiropractic office attempting to fix my lower back ailments. Recently, I "threw out my back" playing on a Sunday and found myself looking for chiropractic referrals on Monday from a friend at the office. They referred me to Dr. Zollner.

I went into Dr. Zollner barely able to walk the pain was so intense. In the past, this reoccurring injury would leave me in pain for weeks, even while seeing a chiropractor. After about 5 visits over 2 weeks with Dr. Zollner, I felt great! Now I'm

I had lower back and hip pain. I started coming here about 8-9 months ago with back pain from some old car accidents. I had been to other chiropractors before but did not realize that it was not normal to leave the office with paw. All of my adjustments have left me feeling better – Not worse.

I first went there because I hurt my lower back skiing. Now I just go every month even when I'm not injured, and I've found this guy to be really good way to keep from getting hurt. The guy knows his stuff. He taught me about injury prevention, and it's been well worth my time. I haven't' hurt myself skiing for 3 years now. I don't need the pain and time off from work, it's just too costly.

I have been going to Dr Zollner for over 8 yrs. At the time I met him, I had experienced so many different Chiropractors and had decided that Chiropractic was not for me. After one treatment with Dr Zollner I was feeling better. We started with several treatments a week and then moved down to once a week and then once a month. At that point, I was

Dr. Zollner's technique is precise and his manner is professional, But what makes him truly outstanding is his compassion and his abiding dedication to his patients. Having been to a dozen chiropractors in my day, I took a few visits to adjust to his approach, which depends in large part upon use of a device called the Pro Adjuster. I'm here to tell you that in the right hands--and those would be Dr. Zollner's--there is nothing more gentle and effective that this device for aligning your spine in the direction of optimal health.

I have been to numerous chiropractors over the course of my life. I can definitely say that Dr. Zollner is one of the best. He's good at explaining what's going on so that I feel a part of the process instead of him just working on me. His technique is definitely different than the regular hands on chiropractic I had previously but I prefer the gentler approach. I also like the fact that he doesn't push long treatment plans, although I understand that with some people's spines, it does legitimately take longer. We talk about what I want to accomplish and he does what

I've had to go to several chiropractors in my day because I have a labor intensive job. Frankly, I spent more time in some of those other chiropractic offices measuring my progress than experiencing a relief from pain and limited mobility.

With Dr. Zollner, I don't know what else to say except that we get things done. He knows his stuff, and the appointments are productive with a noticeable reduction in pain, and a significant increase in my mobility. I really think he gives the field a good name, and before visiting his office, I really didn't see the benefits of treatment (probably
