Your Trusted Chiropractors in San Francisco
Arroyo & Shpritz Chiropractic was founded in 2001 by Christopher Arroyo and Helaine Shpritz, who bring over two decades of combined experience in holistic healthcare. Our practice prioritizes personalized care, treating each patient as an individual rather than a standardized case. We focus on addressing the root causes of pain through hands-on chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, and wellness-focused methodologies. Our philosophy centers on the body's innate ability to heal itself when nerve interference is removed, emphasizing muscle balance, joint mobility, and nervous system function.Patients often seek us for neck pain, back pain, and headaches, but many also experience improved posture, flexibility, sleep, and athletic performance. We maintain a welcoming environment where patients feel heard and supported, offering follow-up communication via text and email to ensure continuity of care. Our commitment to community extends to treating clients from diverse backgrounds, including musicians and industry professionals, while maintaining a family-friendly practice that serves teens to retirees.

This service addresses structural and neurological imbalances to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and support the body's natural healing processes. Patients receive personalized treatment plans tailored to their specific needs and health goals.

Acupuncture sessions integrate traditional Chinese medicine techniques with modern chiropractic care to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and promote wellness. By stimulating specific points on the body, this service helps restore energy flow and complement adjustments. Patients often combine acupuncture with other therapies for comprehensive pain management and stress reduction.
