Larry Shank, DC

Dr. Shank is amazing! I pulled my back doing dead lifts and could barley walk or bend without pain. He spent about 2 hours with me working on my back, hitting pressure points I didn’t even know I had that were connected to my back. He really spent his time with me and is extremely knowledgable! He is not your average chiropractor. He actually takes his time and uses several different methods to help heal you. The day after I saw him I could walk better without much pain, I was straighter and I could start to bend. I was’t hunched over anymore. I recommend him if you are suffering with back pain. Thanks, Doc!

it was a pleasure meeting larry. he saw me right away when I told him I was in a lot of pain due to a back injury. I couldn’t even bend over. when he was done I was able to get some ability back. after a couple of more visits, I was feeling better. His knowledge of acupuncture as well as chiropractic skills were are a surprising benefit. His fees were more than reasonable. Thanks Larry!

Larry is a gem. He is super knowledgeable, not only about the body, but also about all facets of a person. He spends his time with you and makes you feel like you are the most important person in the world. I would highly recommend Larry if you are looking for a chiropractor. Gone are the days of snapping your neck and moving on to another patient. He set the bar and I have never had a chiropractor come close to the attention to detail.

Dr. Shank is probably the 6^th chiropractor I’ve seen in San Diego alone. My job as a dental hygienist pretty much requires me to seek therapy to be able to function. Each chiropractor has their own style and philosophy and it’s about finding what works for you. While I haven’t had a personal problem with any of the previous chiropractors I’ve seen, none have impressed me as much as Dr. Shank. As Lindsey W. said, I feel like he really truly cares about you as a patient enough to customize each visit to tailor it to your individual needs. Also, he has so much experience that it’s obvious he knows what he’s doing.
My sister gave me a gift card to Mind Body Partnerships, and since it’s been over a year since I’ve seen I chiropractor, I was thankful to have a reason and a way to seek treatment! I chose him initially because he coupled an acupressure massage with a consultation and adjustment all in the first appointment! A lot of the chiropractors I’ve seen will do an exam and take x-​rays at the initial visit and make you come back for actual help. Since I benefit greatly from massage, I was excited that I would be receiving both! Especially acupressure! This was something I had never seen or experienced from a chiropractor.
He has a home office, so it’s not as intimidating (to me) as going to a huge chiropractic care center with big equipment and machinery. Most of the work is done with his hands alone and he is very good at what he does! I appreciated that he tailored the acupressure massage to my particular needs and that allowed me to be relaxed and «loosened up» for the adjustment. I left the first visit feeling like a million bucks and went back the next week for another!
As a bonus, he talked to me about diet, exercise and emotional health in a way that was not preach-​y or uncomfortable. He just has a lot of knowledge that he’s willing to share and I certainly learned a lot from just those two appointments! I also appreciated his holistic approach. I wish I could see him every week! If you want a chiropractor who won’t pressure you into a high dollar treatment plan and won’t rush you through an appointment; who is very skilled in the field of chiropractic care, I highly recommend Dr. Shank!
