If you're looking to establish a chiropractor in San Francisco (Financial District), Dr. Karri Cardinal is top notch. I've been getting chiropractic care and treatment from Dr. Cardinal for everything from car crash related neck pain to acute sport injury, posture alignment, back pain and headaches for 10 years.

I was happy to find a practitioner of Chiropractic Biophysics in the Bay Area after recieving this care when living in Seattle. It's really a superior form of chiropractic care. Also, it's obvious how skilled and intuitive Dr Cardinal is; she has targeted my discomfort and provided so much relief and I feel I'm in very good hands. If you are skeptical about chiropractic care, give her a try. She's solidly an expert in her field with a human touch to boot.

Dr. Cardinal is a caring, knowledgeable chiropractor. She performed a thorough exam before my first adjustment. In the process, she found the underlying source of my backpain and provided some simple modifications that have significantly helped me. Dr. Cardinal gives you options and will work with whatever treatment path you decide to take.
