Treatment Program

Dr. Mark uses combinations of chiropractic, muscle work, physiotherapy, energy medicine, and nutritional supplementation in order to provide you with the best in natural healthcare. Dr. Mark can refer out and order additional diagnostics like x-ray, mri, blood/urine analysis, live blood evaluation, saliva and hair analysis.

Dr. Mark is competent in multiple chiropractic adjusting techniques, muscle and myofascial techniques and athletic taping techniques. This versatility assures that you will get comfortable and effective care.

Initial visits include consultation, examination and initial treatment. Typically Dr. Mark uses 2-4 treatment visits to evaluate the response to therapy and develop a definitive impression of the extent of injury. A treatment plan is then developed based on whether injury will need short term (2-8 visits) or long term (8-20 visits) care.

All treatments are tailored to your needs at the time of your visit and include a combination of 1-4 therapies. For this reason office rates are based on the length of each office visit. Typically initial visits range between $90 and $125. Follow up visits range between $30 and $100. Dr. Mark is a preferred provider for the Blue Shield of California and United Healthcare networks. He accepts insurances from most other networks. Clients with insurances where Dr. Mark is out-of network, are treated as cash paying clients until the time their insurance begins to pay.

Dr. Mark typically tries to avoid the use of braces on injuries (unless absolutely necessary), but often incorporates the use of functional taping techniques when joint stabilization is necessary. Braces can be custom fit and ordered when necessary.

Dr. Mark utilizes the highest quality supplements and products available. For more information:
