Epic Chiropractic & Sports Therapy
Epic Chiropractic & Sports Therapy has been providing quality chiropractic care in Sacramento since 1942. We specialize in auto accident care, sports injuries, movement assessment, nutritional therapies, and myofascial release techniques. Located in the Arden area of Sacramento, we are centrally located and have convenient hours of operation.

Using a combination of orthopedic, neurologic, and functional movement assessment we will identify faulty movement patterns, neurological deficit, and joint / soft tissue dysfunction in order to recommend the appropriate treatment plan. The goal of this phase is to reduce pain, inflammation, and restore full range of motion of the affected structures.

I’ve had chiropractic care since I was little and I’m very particular in the chiropractor that I choose for my on-going maintenance. Dr. Jesse gets me ‘straightened out’ while providing positive, excellent care.

I have been a patient for roughly 10 or so years now. I have to say that I always feel welcomed and at home when I visit the office. I have been Dr. Shank's patient but have also been treated by her sons Jesse and Dan as well. The office atmosphere is always very welcoming and kind. All the staff, including the doctors, are patient and take the time to listen to you. I appreciate that I have never felt rushed when I come here. Not only is the office just an awesome and welcoming environment, but they are also truly up to date on treatment methods and this really does put you in good hands when

Excellent and honest treatment. Definitely more than just a chiropractor. Great for athletes. I had calf pain for 6 months and it was completely fixed in a few sessions. Working through another issue now and am happy with the progress and level of care received. I highly recommend!

My back felt compressed and could hardly bend over after 3 days. Saw Dr.Dan and the next day back was 100% better and could move. He addressed the issues in my back and focused on that specific area! Thank you so much

Early August I hurt lower back while working out and lifting heavy weights. I rested for a couple days and though I’d be okay. Well things didn’t get better and I decided to look up a chiropractor at first I was going to go to any ordinary chiropractor but I decided to choose to go to a sports chiropractor to see if they better understood my problem. I went in and met Dr. Saenz he helped me out by adjusting me, giving me good advice and stretching methods that should be performing. I took his advice and kept going week to week and I feel way better overall I’m glad I decided to choose Epic

Linda and Jesse are amazing! Everyone in Sacramento who needs a chiropractor should be going to Epic Chiropractic. Wish I could make it here every week, but living in another state makes it difficult. So I visit every time I pass through. Thank you both so much.
