Barger Chiropractic of Folsom

Our chiropractic care utilizes advanced spinal correction techniques to address misalignments and improve nervous system function. Dr. Barger employs state-of-the-art methods for safe, effective pain relief from back pain, neck pain, and headaches. This drug-free approach focuses on restoring natural mobility and promoting overall wellness through personalized treatment plans.

The Activator Technique uses a precision instrument to deliver controlled spinal adjustments. This low-force method ensures accurate corrections without excessive pressure, ideal for patients seeking gentle care. Research-backed and widely used, it effectively addresses joint dysfunction in the spine and extremities while maintaining patient comfort during treatment.

Flexion-distraction therapy employs a specialized table to gently stretch and mobilize the spine, targeting disc-related issues like sciatica. By isolating affected areas and reducing nerve compression, this technique alleviates leg pain and inflammation. Combined with physiotherapy, it helps restore disc height and spinal function through a structured 12-session protocol.

Our nutritional counseling provides personalized supplement recommendations and dietary advice to support spinal health. Dr. Barger's Functional Diagnostic Medicine certification enables tailored programs addressing individual deficiencies and wellness goals. This holistic approach enhances recovery by optimizing cellular function and overall bodily balance.

We offer comprehensive spinal and postural screenings using computerized evaluation tools. These assessments identify alignment issues that may contribute to chronic pain or mobility limitations. Screenings are available at community events or in-office, providing actionable insights to guide corrective care and preventive wellness strategies.

If you would a chiropractic office that provides professional and respectful customer service at the front desk, to be seen on time, and and to follow county and state health mandates, this is not the office for you.

Dr. Barger is wonderful. He has done wonders for me over the years. At 69 years old I am still working at an elderly care home lifting residents etc. He has given me exercises to strengthen my back and fixed my problems when I over do it. He is gentle when necessary not like the walk in places that hurt me and made me worse before I found Dr. Barger. I have neck issues also. He has a wonderful technique that gives me the relief I need. I can't say enough about the professional treatments I have received.

Dr. Jim Barger is the best chiropractor. He basically has magic in his hands. I was in his office with terrible back-pain and not able to move forward even by 5 degrees. After he applied his procedures on my back, I was out of his office with my back fixed and relieved. I was expecting going into office that it would take multiple visits before my back is normal, and it is a sweet surprise that my back got fixed in my first visit. He is honest and explains the root cause of the issue and treatment procedure with patience. Appointment is on time and no wait time if online papers are filled upfront.

Dr Barger has gone where very few have ventured; my Neck. I've been seeing Chiropractors for 35 years and none have had the competence to adjust my Neck on every visit. Both Karen and Dr B are friendly and my Appts have been on time, no wait time.

Been a highly satisfied patient of Dr. Barger for a long time since I moved to Folsom. I had a bad car accident, along with lingering football injuries. After getting tired of all the pills, I finally asked my MD if he would recommend a chiropractor, and he referred me here. Karen helped me with insurance issues and Dr. Barger's skilled hands helped heal this aching body! Now I come in for periodic tune-ups of my back and neck pain when I over do it in the yard or various sports activities. He also gives me rehab exercises to help keep me in shape, when I remember to do them.

It used to be that I would wake up every day with my back hurting, my neck stiff and wondering how bad my headache would be later with the stress at work. Finally took my friend's advice and visited Barger Chiropractic. Dr. Barger did a great job of explaining everything to me and letting me know what he could do to help me. A brief initial plan of treatment was recommended with the understanding that if I did not respond as expected, he would discontinue care and refer me back to my primary care doc.

There was no pressure at all. After the first few visits, I could not believe how much better I felt. I no longer dread getting up in the mornings, the back and neck pain is gone. I now go back in for a "tune up" every now and then, depending on the amount of stress I'm under. Karen, at the front desk, is always helpful and courteous. I never have to wait more than a few minutes for an appointment and it is probably the only appointment I actually look forward to going to.

After years of on again, off again neck, back and head-aches and not getting any lasting relief with Advil or physical therapy, I finally decided to give chiropractic a shot. Read some reviews, asked some friends and even risked getting tossed out of my medical docs office about chiropractic. Funny thing, he didn't get mad at the thought of me going to a chiropractor. He even referred me to Barger Chiropractic in Folsom.

I wish I had looked into this sooner! Dr. Jim Barger is a very competent and caring individual and outlined my options after doing a thorough evaluation. Long story shortened, after a few treatments and changes in my lifestyle that he recommended (like getting off the couch and exercising), I am now in better control of my overall health. As long as I follow his recommendations, I am doing so much better and recommend him highly.

With all the driving I do to and from the SF bay area, I get pretty stressed out, with headaches, neck and back pain. Past auto accidents and sports injuries have not helped either. A friend recommended I try chiropractic, so I asked my MD about that and he said he has had good results with patients he had referred to Barger Chiropractic of Folsom. He explains everything in advance and lays out a definite plan of action.

Can be busy at times, but waiting is kept to a minimum, with pleasant conservations with his receptionist, Karen. We now have my aches and pains under control with occasional tune-ups. Too bad Dr. Barger doesn't have a satellite office in the bay area. He is one talented chiropractor!

Folsom sure has its share of chiropractors and Dr. Barger is certainly a credit to his profession. My chronic headaches and back pain are a thing of the past thanks to his gentle techniques. He started out by numbing my back pain with ice, then used a clicky instrument (Actuator?) to adjust my back and neck. After that, he gradually added more hands on treatments and recommended exercises to help my muscles hold the treatment. Now I just go in for tune-ups. Nice office and plenty of parking too!

My back pain had been bothering me on and off for several months before I decided to give chiropractic a shot. The latest experience on a wild ride at Cal Expo state fair was the last straw. I saw Dr. Barger's chiropractor office listed on my insurance list, talk to my MD who said he has had good results with patients he has referred here ( can you believe that!), took a look around his website and scheduled an appointment that same day. The decompression table he uses, along with his hands on treatment have been great! Just have to keep up with the exercises he recommended and I feel I will be as fit as I was as a teenager.

After growing up in Utah and experiencing chiropractic care through much of my high school athletic career, I moved out to Folsom, CA. My former chiropractor looked up the available docs in this area and after reviewing his credentials, suggested suggested I see Dr Barger. After just a few visits, I can say this was great advise. The head and neck pain I got from the stress of moving have been greatly relieved. Highly recommended this office!

My back went out while visiting my mom in Folsom. She recommended I see her chiropractor, Dr. Barger. I was able to see him that afternoon, walked into his office in extreme low-back pain, had an evaluation, adjustment and therapy, and walked out much better! Been to other chiropractic offices that don't do much of anything the first day, but not here. Very thorough, caring and competent. Thank you

Karen was very nice and does a great job. Dr. Barger knows his stuff and made sure I understood everything before he treated me. My back feels so much better!

Have had a few sessions and now can give an informed opinion. Love this office. Back and neck have been in much less pain since I've been coming in. Would definitely recommend to anyone seeking chiropractic.
