WHAT OUR PATIENTS ARE SAYING

google review for sports chiropractic in San Francisco

I started seeing Dr. Dan after experiencing really painful sciatica for a month, or so. Best decision I ever made! After two or three visits, the pain was pretty much gone. He was great at explaining what was going on and how and why he was doing what he was doing. He gave me simple exercises to maintain the relief from pain. His easy going, friendly and often funny demeanor makes going to see him a joy, rather than a chore. He's a truly gifted chiropractor!

Dan Shapero is an experienced and effective chiropractor. He helped my resolve acute back pain -- quickly. I will continue to see Dan in the years ahead to help optimize and maintain my health. It is worth noting that Shapero Chiropractic's front office is managed by Suzie, who facilitates easy scheduling (and helpful appointment reminders). I recommend Shapero Chiropractic!

Dr. Dan is our go-to chiro for RoCo dance teachers, and we love him! I’ve been seeing him on and off for a few months and I’ve definitely noticed improvements. My body feels lighter when dancing and teaching my classes. His professional and attentive approach has really helped me feel more balanced and mobile. Highly recommend!

How Sports Injury Care Works

Chiropractors have taken on a more advanced role in sports science since understanding the neuromusculoskeletal system can help increase performance and prevent the breakdown of an athlete's body. Any physical trauma, on or off the field, can produce physical stress and shift the spine's vertebra. These shifts are called subluxations and significantly impact pain, fatigue, recovery, performance, and overall health. If left untreated, a misaligned spine, even the slightest kink, or a postural issue can cause aches, low energy, and other severe conditions throughout your body.

Our sports injury chiropractor in San Francisco utilizes a variety of non-invasive methodss and techniques to help you get relief and get back to your athletic activities more reliably than ever before. Once you have healed from your sports injury, it's a good idea to have ongoing aftercare and maintenance. Whether a professional or amateur athlete, regular treatments and follow-ups are a great way to maintain your physical conditioning, improve your mobility, and keep acute injuries under control.

If you're interested in restoring and improving your performance and well-being through natural, non-invasive chiropractic care, contact Shapero Chiropractic today at (415) 255-5655 to schedule a consultation.
