Chiropractic services in San Francisco
This directory explains chiropractic care and in-office modalities discussed at Ocean Chiropractic Center.

Foundational care
Chiropractic Care
An overview of the clinic's evaluation process, hands-on care, shared decision-making, reassessment, and situations that may call for another clinician's input.

Care at different life stages
Pediatric Chiropractic Care

Prenatal Chiropractic Care
How history, pregnancy stage, positioning, comfort, obstetric coordination, and urgent pregnancy symptoms affect the discussion of musculoskeletal care.
In-office modalities
Class IV Laser Therapy
How laser therapy may be considered, including screening, limits, and why the exact equipment, intended use, and safety procedures matter.
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression
What this form of traction-based care involves, what an evaluation should address, and why it must not be framed as a guaranteed alternative to surgery.
Shockwave Therapy
A plain-language explanation of shockwave therapy, screening questions, what a session may involve, and why device and protocol details matter.
Focused care pathways

Health-focused evaluation after an injury, documentation boundaries, coordination, and urgent warning signs—without legal advice, settlement promises, or claims of guaranteed recovery.
You do not need to choose a device first
People often arrive with a symptom, a diagnosis from another clinician, or a question about something they have heard. A reasonable evaluation begins with that context rather than assuming a specific modality is the answer.
Before agreeing to a service, ask:
What finding or goal is this intended to address?
What alternatives—including no treatment or another evaluation—are reasonable?
What are the material risks, limits, and reasons it may not be appropriate?
How will response be measured, and when will the plan be reconsidered?
What will it cost, and what commitments are expected?
No service can promise a cure, a percentage improvement, permanent results, universal safety, or avoidance of medication or surgery.
