Grace & Active Care Chiropractic

Just moved from Marin County and found Dr. Andrew Fogg here. Great chiropractor! He’s very thorough and knowledgable — caring and personable. He offers manual manipulation and uses the activator, as well — that’s my favorite. My back always feels so much better when I leave, I enjoy going in there. The office is efficient, well run and professional, and I love that they don’t waste paper. Marina is wonderful for massage and Amanda is terrific, as well. Highly recommended!

Exceptional care. Brian Bellinger is a good listener. The focus is on healing and wellness. Supportive environment. Nice digs.
Every massage therapist I’ve seen over the years has been spot on.
Best chiropractic practice in eureka; I recommend this place often.

I had an amazing massage from April! She is professional, kind, and very knowledgable! I feel healed from her magic hands and will be back

After having lower back pain for the past two weeks I made an appointment with Grace Chiropractic offices. I had an excellent massage with Piper. Probably one of the top two massages I have ever had. I didn’t realize how tight my lower back and shoulders were but during and after the massage I was all to aware. The technique she used was trigger point. Although it was a bit painful at times I felt much better after the massage and later in the day. The next morning I had an appointment with Dr. Fogg. The doctor took a very detailed history and explained his treatment plan in detail. After the adjustment I felt very good and the pain and tightness was significantly better. The receptionist was extremely friendly and assisted me with insurance eligibility questions. I am beyond satisfied with the overall experience with everyone I have dealt with thus far. I look forward to my appointment with Dr. Fogg next week. The office was immaculate. One of the cleanest medical facilities I have ever visited.

Dr. John is the BEST. i had no idea that i wasn’t getting the best chiropractic experience until i went to him. he truly cares about WHY my back is hurting — what is contributing to it, and how to align those things. also, his adjustments are far less … scary? than other types of adjustments that i’ve had. he does a lot of deep tissue /​soft tissue work, too, which is amazing. he’s super outgoing, and keeps you occupied in good conversation throughout the whole visit, which is also important.
ALSO because you go to Burke Williams spa to see Dr. John, YOU GET TO USE THE SPA FACILITIES FREE. yep, you read right. last night, after a fantastic appointment, i got to sit in the jacuzzi and the steam room. do yourself a huge favor and see Dr. John!

I first saw a chiropractor about 5 years ago and while my inner scardy-​cat was soothed by her gentle methodology, after several sessions I felt like she was barely doing anything and I didn’t feel any different, and was left with a bit of a ho-​hum attitude towards chiropractic. Thank goodness for second chances because a few years later I saw Dr. John and discovered that getting adjusted can be un-​scary AND effective! Who knew?
Dr. John takes a thoughtful and thorough approach, first listening to your symptoms and observing your posture to diagnose problem areas, then utilizing a variety of hands-​on techniques to put your spine and stuff back where it belongs. Seriously, for one weird example, I have an issue where my right leg keeps wanting to be shorter than my left! WTF! I’d never even known. I suddenly flashed back to freshman year of college when I was really mad at Old Navy for making what I thought were an uneven pair of pants… apparently I owe Old Navy an apology. Sorry Old Navy! I should also mention that I’m extremely ticklish. I am like the Pillsbury Dough Boy in that Geico commercial where the Pillsbury Dough Boy is going through security at the airport and just CANNOT hold it together. That is me exactly. I’ve actually been to doctors and pedicurists who I think were legitimately annoyed with my squealing and squirming, but Dr. John is always very patient and understanding.
For anyone just plain squeamish about having their bones and joints crack snackle popped, Dr. John also happens to be a master of strategic distraction. One second he’ll be engaging you in casual conversation and then CRACK suddenly your neck’s adjusted and you feel great. He’s like a sneaky chiro ninja. However, he is also very eager to enthusiastically explain what he’s doing and how the musculoskeletal system works if, like me, you’re curious about why the hell your body does some of the weird things it does (and what you can do to stop it). I inevitably feel taller, more upright and more symmetrical after an adjustment with Dr. John and also find myself much more conscious of my posture and physical habits during everyday life. And more importantly, my pant leg hems are even.

Dr. John is easily the best chiropractor I have ever been to, and I have seen many over the past decades. He is compassionate and a great listener and asks many useful questions about my lifestyle and habits to best understand what’s going on with my spine and joints. He is able to adjust me several different ways and if my back or neck is too stubborn for one technique to work, he tries another until he’s successful. He’s also given me exercises to strengthen my core and improve my spinal alignment.
In short, he combines a mastery of techniques and knowledge with insight into the patterns and challenges of his individual patients. He’s also funny and highly engaging. I highly recommend Dr. John for anyone seeking a chiropractor’s adjustment.

The first thing I said to Dr. John was, «I don’t trust chiropractors. I’m only here because massage and acupuncture aren’t cutting it, and a friend convinced me to give this a shot.»
Nine months later, I’m still seeing Dr. John! My chronic neck and shoulder pain have reached manageable levels – I can go weeks without any serious pain for the first time in over a decade. He’s helped me improve my posture, correct a lot of the issues raised by my 40-​hour/​week desk job, and strategize ways to prevent future problems.
What’s more, he’s been a great advocate and educator for overall health and well-​being, particularly with regard to methods for managing pain and inflammation – which has directly impacted my quality of life. I always feel like he genuinely cares about me as his patient, instead of treating me like an appointment to check off his list. And you cannot beat his enthusiasm for his work, which is seriously contagious – he actually made me a believer in this treatment, which I NEVER thought would happen.
Thanks, Dr. John!

Dr John is a fantastic chiro! He cares a great deal about my overall health and wellness and takes time to educate me on things that I can do to better my health, from vitamins to nutrition and everything in-​between. I’ve been seeing him for 3 years now and can’t imagine going to anyone else. I struggle with neck and lower back pain but one adjustment from Dr John and things are amazingly better. This is an expert that I would not pass up!

Grace Chiropractic took very good care of me when I had a back spasm. Dr. Bellinger consulted with me to understand my problem, and the massage team worked with me to solve it. After two massage sessions, I didn’t experience the spasms again. This was about three years ago, and I haven’t had any subsequent pain.
Everyone who works there was very friendly and helpful. If I ever have a need for therapeutic massage or chiropractic therapy, I will definitely be coming back to Dr. Bellinger and Grace Chiropractic – they’re the best!

I’ve been Dr. Buechner’s patient for about a year, and the weekly adjustments have improved the quality of my life a huge deal. I’ve struggled with chronic back pain for over a decade as a result of a car accident, and this is the first year when it is truly manageable without medication and I am able to lead an active lifestyle. Dr. Buechner makes me feel very comfortable as a patient by being courteous, considerate, and always explaining what he’s doing and the implication of this adjustments on my posture and alignment. I feel very connected to my treatment. He also makes excellent helpful suggests regarding things I can do in my daily life to improve my back condition. I will continue to be a patient for the foreseeable future, and I HIGHLY recommend his chiropractic services.

The folks at Grace Chiropractic are professional, friendly, kind, and are truly healers! All of my chiropractic work goes to Brian! I would trust no one else! I have not had a massage by Heather yet but have heard and read wonderful things. I have known Brian and his wife Grace going in 5 years and am glad that I know them! Brian has treated and helped me with my sciatic issues, migraines, tmj, and muscle spasms as well as alignment issues with my spine and hips. Heather worked as their receptionist when i first started visiting them — i am excited that she has graduated to masseuse and look forward to working with her. Grace has always been super helpful getting me an appointment (even on short notice in the midst of one of my notorious migraines on M.L.K. Day a couple years ago!). Their rate is fair and manageable, their service is professional and caring, and they are true healers! I highly recommend their practice to any and all of my friends!

There is no better chiropractor in the entire Pacific Northwest. He is a true healer!

I’ve been coming to Grace Chiropractic for several years. I’m a jogger, and I stand all day teaching (or I’m hunched over a microscope). Dr. B. does a great job of keeping me aligned, and the massage therapists are fantastic, too.

I am currently a patient here with Dr. Bellinger. He is very caring and takes good care of me. Recently I was told that they now have an in-​house massage therapists. I really needed one for upper back, shoulder & neck. I was absolutely amazed with Heather, the masseuse. She was right on the spot each time. I felt the pressure points especially spots that bothered me the most. I’ve been to massage therapists almost everywhere I traveled; Palm Dessert, Napa, Sonoma, San Francisco, Fairfield including locations in Arcata and Eureka but experience with Heather was the best !! I was so excited I shared my experience with my husband Tom. He knows the good masseuse from an average one. That week he scheduled, and when he arrived home he told me this was the best massage he had in a long time ! Now I go there every week and each time I look forward to relaxing, leaving my aches to Heather. I love this place !!

I’ve been to many Chiropractors over the years, Dr John Buechner is by far the best. He only schedules appointments as often as you need; with other Chiropractors they seem to do as little as possible each visit, and then keep you coming back often for more. He is very observant, excellent communicator who explains your condition, what he is going to do and why. He has an inspiring attitude about life, health, and work. He also works some Saturdays, which is great for 9 to 5 people that don’t want to miss work.

This Chiro is pretty awesome. He does a great job at making sure all of your vertebrae are aligned properly.
Office is clean, services are fairly priced.
He is also pretty busy, so make sure to call ahead and get an appointment.

I went to a chiropractor a lot when I was younger because I was in a car accident. Eventually I stopped going because thinking I didn’t really needed one. I assumed I wasn’t going to get any better than I was and after years of back pain I finally decided to give it another go and I couldn’t be happier. After just one appointment I feel so much better. I swear I grew two inches! Dr. Buechner was so friendly and knowledgeable — I will definitely be back!

I went to Dr. Buechner after suffering with back and neck pain and he took the time to get to know me and my medical problems. He was very thorough in his examination. After asking me several questions he did a couple of «adjustments» and I can now move my neck and my back doesn’t hurt nearly as much. He has an office in the Medicann office on Fillmore, and I can not recommend him highly enough.
Thank you Doctor, I will be back
