For over 10 years, I had experienced recurrent low back pain and sciatica from my work, standing all day on my feet in the service industry. In 1999, I began to limp from weakness, tingling and numbness in my left leg; pain in my low back and hips was constant and severe; I was ‘eating’ anti-inflammatory pills like jelly beans; I was unable to sleep, was exhausted, and was impatient with my co-workers, wife and new baby; and physical therapy was not helping me after a year.
A friend referred me to Dr. Grace, and skeptically I made an appointment. I felt beyond help. But she assured me that she had worked successfully with hundreds of people in my condition, during more than two decades of practice.
After the most thorough history and exam I had ever had, she explained her evaluation of my problem and told me how we could work together. She said that she didn’t fix anyone, but helped by restoring motion to joints, relieving irritation to the nerves, and helping the muscles to become relaxed and strong. She said that I was going to have to do my part too if I wanted to get better. I was given therapies to do diligently at home…and I had to do them or else…Dr. Grace is one firm lady, because she cares!
After six months of regular care (2-3 times/week), I have never felt better. I run, play tennis, golf, cycle, do my back exercises daily (or else!), and I’m sleeping better and waking up rested for the first time in years. I had no idea how much energy I was wasting, and what stubborn, sheer grit it had taken for me to make it through the day.
And my wife is happy. I’m not a grouch anymore, and my baby is happy her Papa can lift and carry her again.
Don’t wait as long as I did. See Dr. Grace today! She’s part of our family now.

I have been to several chiropractors over the years, and felt like I was getting the same adjustments each time. Whenever I see Dr. Grace, she does something different to turn on my own healing. And that’s a lot of ‘different’ and deep healing after four years. Her neck adjustments are the gentlest and most effective I’ve ever had.

I love my baby, but her colic and crying was driving me crazy. I couldn’t wait for her to grow out of it. My birth coach/doula told me about Dr. Grace, after she heard her speak to her monthly education group at Marin General Hospital. After 3 visits, no more colic, no more crying. Dr. Grace is a part of our health team, now.
I started care with her to relieve the stress on my neck and shoulders from breast-feeding and carrying my growing baby. She emphasized that despite the demands of new motherhood, I still have to care for myself, and stretch and strengthen my muscles. She gave me some simple home exercises, which I can easily do…and they work.

My baby had constipation, from birth. He pooped every 3-4 days, and screamed with pain and fear each time. His pediatrician and a G-I specialist prescribed medications and suppositories, which didn’t work for him. My sister told me about Dr. Grace, and in desperation, I made an appointment. She was the ONLY PRACTITIONER who actually felt my baby’s belly to feel the tension and congestion in his intestines.
We saw Dr. Grace 3 times a week for a month, and now my little guy has 1-2 poops a day. We don’t miss our monthly tune-ups.
She also referred us to a pediatrician who practices homeopathy to help childrens’ bodies work better, and naturally. Thank you, Dr. Grace.

Since age two, I had asthma attacks, needed medication, and was hospitalized many times. At age 32, the medications no longer helped me. Our birth coach (I was a new father), recommended Dr. Grace. Dr. Grace explained how the nervous system controls the function of the immune system, and the tone of the smooth muscles in the lung pathways; how by restoring motion to the joints of the spine, the body can relax, strengthen and balance itself. We worked together for six months 2-3 times a week, with chiropractic adjustments. Dr. Grace also made nutritional recommendations, and gave me exercises to help my body rebalance and strengthen. I only use my asthma medication now if I am going places where there are cats and dogs. What a relief to be able to run again, and play with my son…and to breathe easily.
