Chiropractor in Downtown Salt Lake City

Gentle Care. Fewer Visits.

Gentle Chiropractic Salt Lake City provides precise, low-force chiropractic care in downtown Salt Lake City, serving the Avenues neighborhood and surrounding areas.

I focus on careful assessment and neutral-position adjustments designed to reduce inflammation, improve stability, and help changes hold longer. The goal is fewer visits overall and clear feedback early, so you know whether this approach is right for you.

A Gentle Approach to Chiropractic Care

This practice uses a light-force chiropractic method often referred to as Open Source Technique (OST). Adjustments are performed without cracking, twisting, or end-range joint manipulation.

By avoiding aggressive techniques, the body is less likely to guard or flare afterward. Many patients prefer this approach because it feels controlled, specific, and easier to recover from.

Each visit is assessed independently. There are no preset routines or automatic treatment plans.

Conditions Commonly Seen

People often seek care here for:

Some patients with joint hypermobility or Ehlers-Danlos–type patterns seek out this style of care because it avoids forceful manipulation and emphasizes stability and precision. Care is always individualized.

Why Neutral-Position, Light-Force Adjustments Matter

This approach emphasizes:

  • Detailed analysis rather than force
  • Adjustments performed without pushing joints to end range
  • Reduced post-treatment inflammation
  • Better retention of change between visits

Many patients can tell after the first visit whether this approach is helping.

Designed for People Who Value Their Time

This care works well for people who:

  • Want fewer appointments overall
  • Prefer gentle, specific work
  • Have sensitive joints or prior injuries
  • Live or work downtown or in the Avenues
  • Want straightforward recommendations without pressure

If chiropractic care is not appropriate for your situation, I will say so directly.

Free Consultation Available

The first visit is designed to give you clarity. Most people know quickly whether this approach makes sense for them.

If you are looking for a chiropractor in downtown Salt Lake City or the Avenues who focuses on gentle, precise care, scheduling a consultation is the best next step.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you crack or pop the neck or jaw?
No. Adjustments are performed gently, without forceful cracking or twisting, including for TMJ-related concerns.

Can this approach help with TMJ issues?
TMJ-related symptoms are often influenced by the jaw, upper neck, cranial structures, and surrounding soft tissue. Care focuses on precision and reducing strain rather than forcing movement.

Is this care appropriate for people with hypermobility or EDS patterns?
Some patients with joint hypermobility prefer gentle, low-force care that avoids end-range manipulation. Each case is assessed individually, and care is adapted accordingly.

How many visits will I need?
Many patients notice meaningful change within the first 1 to 3 visits. Care is not continued without benefit.

Do you require long-term treatment plans or contracts?
No. There are no prepaid plans or required schedules.

Will I be sore afterward?
Most patients report little to no soreness. Because forceful techniques are avoided, post-treatment inflammation is uncommon.

Do you accept insurance?
I am an out-of-network provider. Superbills are available for possible reimbursement, and HSA or FSA funds are often usable.

Are you staying in Salt Lake City now that you also practice in Richfield?
Yes. I continue to practice in downtown Salt Lake City and value the long-standing patient relationships and professional community here. The Richfield office expands access for Central Utah patients.
