NUCCA Spinal Correction
This specialized technique corrects upper cervical misalignments through precise, gentle adjustments. Utilizing detailed X-ray analysis, we create customized correction formulas that realign the atlas vertebra without forceful manipulation. Patients often experience immediate relief from referred pain patterns as nervous system function improves. This approach addresses structural imbalances affecting posture, nerve function, and overall body mechanics.
Nutritional Wellness
Individualized nutrition plans address chronic health challenges and support spinal correction outcomes. Our consultations integrate decades of clinical research on environmental toxins and metabolic optimization. We focus on dietary strategies that reduce inflammation, enhance healing, and sustain musculoskeletal health through evidence-based nutritional interventions.
Spinal Stability Exercises
Customized exercise programs reinforce spinal corrections and improve neuromuscular coordination. These evidence-based protocols target connective tissue strengthening, muscle balance, and postural retraining. Patients learn self-care techniques that maintain alignment between adjustments and enhance overall functional capacity.
Low Level Laser Therapy
This non-thermal laser treatment accelerates cellular healing processes using specific red light wavelengths. Clinical studies show enhanced tissue repair for muscles, nerves, and skin when combined with spinal adjustments. We use this technology to address persistent soft tissue injuries and neurological symptoms that require additional therapeutic support.
Postural Analysis
Comprehensive biomechanical assessments identify compensatory patterns affecting spinal alignment. Using advanced imaging and leg length differential testing, we map structural distortions that contribute to chronic pain. This diagnostic process reveals how cervical misalignments create systemic mechanical stresses throughout the body.

Dr. Pete has been become my first level support when it comes to headache, back pain or tension in the neck. His treatment impacts almost immediately and when applied continuously even provides a long term relieve. Since I moved to Europe in 2009, I could not find a comparable treatment or NUCCA practitioner. Hence I always have an appointment for an adjustment with Dr. Pete on my frequent trips back to the Bay Area. It is a real unique health service in my arsenal. Thank you.

As someone who's boxed for many years I've put my body through a lot. Dr. Pete has changed the way I view rehabilitation at its core. I'm an open person but I was skeptical of the traditional chiropractic approach. Dr Pete has changed my views and allowed me to believe that I can heal my body without surgery. The way he explains and performs his craft shows his deep knowledge about the spine and what steps to take to get it back to the way it should be. I highly reccomend him as a way to tune your body and keep you healthy so you can maintain a good quality of life. Thank you Dr. Pete for everything that you've done for me and my loved ones.

I have been going to Doctor Pete Tsiglieris for many years and he is the best chiropractor that there is! He is is an expert in the NUCCA (upper cervical) technique and saved me from the neck, arm and upper back pain I was suffering after I was in a car accident. I tried many other things and other doctors attempted to treat me but nothing worked until I was treated by Dr. Pete. He took the time to explain what was going in on with me and so I knew what to expect when he treated me. He has helped me have a healthier life with a better posture and I continue to see him see to make sure I am in alignment. He really cares about his patients and is a top-notch chiropractor!

Dr Pete's adjustments always have me feeling taller and walking lighter. I suffer from Chronic neck and low back problems. With Dr Pete's help I am able to live pain free and pursue physical activities I've enjoyed all my life. I have been a patient of Dr Pete since his days at Life West Chiropractic College. I used to visit him at the school clinic whenever I got the chance. To this day I look forward to seeing Dr Pete and having a conversation, sharing a laugh or two and most importantly getting adjusted. Thank you Dr Pete improving the quality of my life for these many years.

I was blessed to meet Dr. Pete several years ago thanks to a colleague and friend of mine. As a holistic-oriented fitness and nutrition coach, I know how skilled and rare NUCCA chiropractors are and have been blessed to have Dr Pete so close. I'm very selective about who I work with-especially when it comes to bodywork-and Dr Pete has a very specialized and personalized approach so that the adjustment is very precise, gentle, and effective.
I've gone very long periods without needing any maintenance and I've also gone through periods where I seem to fall out of adjustment quite frequently and realize that there are so many factors outside the control of even the best practitioners that this pattern is standard and typical like the ebb and flow of life. All in all, I know, like, and trust Dr Pete and would recommend anyone to him before the curtain closes and he disappears to the Mediterranean!.

I have been in and out of chiropractic care for years, I have tried acupuncture, massage and yoga. I did not find relief until I met Dr. Pete. His knowledge of the body and nutrition combined with his masterful grasp of the NUCCA technique make you feel comfortable immediately. After my first adjustment, I had relief from lower back pain that I had not felt in years. I would recommend you pay him a visit if you want to heal and improve the quality of your life.

My husband has had back/neck issues since he was a young man. He tried several different chiropractors over the years, but none of the treatments he received seem to work. Almost 20 years ago, I heard Dr. Pete Tsiglieris on the radio. He discussed NUCCA (a painless treatment without all the popping and cracking methods that are often used by other chiropractors). I suggested, to my husband, that he make an appointment. He has been a patient ever since, and the quality of his life improved after just a few visits. He has continued maintenance treatments to this day, and recently, I have become a patient as well.
