Medical Massage / Manual Therapy in Santa Barbara




After seeing the need for specific soft tissue / manual therapy / massage work in my patients I have decided to offer manual therapy sessions Monday through Thursday mornings. I am still adjusting every day however I truly enjoy providing the highest quality manual therapy work around!
After graduating from undergrad I took some time off (to have my 30th eye surgery) and enrolled in a 1288 hour medical massage / manual therapy program. This is a big part of my inspiration to become a chiropractor; I wanted to be able to do more than just muscle work!
Now that I have been in practice for just over a year and have a set, steady schedule in the new office I am able to provide this necessary care for our patients.
I book by the half hour and focus on a specific injury or region of the body. This is not a relaxation massage but rather manual therapy the create healthy tissue and aid in the health and healing of the body.
This manual therapy however does NOT replace the need for regular chiropractic adjustments! The adjustments Genuine Chiropractic provides are gentle, specific, and profound. They restore proper function to the spine and allow the nervous system to flow freely. When there is no interference in the nervous system then the body is able to self-heal and self-regulate. The healing flows from above, down, inside-out. The adjustments are our main focus in the office and the manual therapy therapy is simply an adjunct procedure but highly beneficial in its own right.
To learn more please call or e-mail Dr. Elizabeth at DrElizabeth@GenuineChiro.com or call 805-ATLAS-12.

We look forward to serving you and your entire family.

In Love & Light,

The next step on your journey to a healthier life



Congratulations on taking this important step forward toward optimal health! Here are some important facts about chiropractic care.

Subluxation: A misalignment in the spine putting stress or pressure on the nerves. The nervous system controls all 70 trillion cells that make up your body!

3 Causes of subluxation:
1 Trauma: Examples include falling off your bicycle, MVA/ whip lash injury, bumping your head, concussion, tripping and spraining an ankle.
Toxins: Examples include pharmaceutical drugs (prescription and over the counter), GMO or conventional food, and pollution in the air or water
