Strauss Mark DC

Dr. Strauss is a warmhearted healthcare professional. His demeanor helps put me at ease for each session, and working with him to schedule appointments (via email, for me) has been incredibly effective. Stress free.
I’ve been seeing him for three months now, and my back is feeling much better after his adjustments. This last weekend I spent several hours doing yard work that, until recently, would have resulted in a sore back — or worse. But this weekend? Nada. I feel better all day and I sleep better all night.
At first I was skeptical about seeing a chiropractor. But I can confidently say that I have been very impressed with my results under Dr. Strauss’ care.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Strauss for neck pain and his adjustments have helped me tremendously. I usually get about 70−80% relief immediately and then by the next day I am back to 100%. The adjustments have a nice, lasting effect which I appreciate. Dr. Strauss has a lot of skill and experience as well as a great bedside manner– all things I truly appreciate in healthcare practitioner. Highly recommend!

I’ve had issues with my neck for almost half a year now. Like most Americans, I have a desk job (which was not ergonomically set up for a long time) that caused these issues.
I’ve been seeing Dr. Strauss for about a week now, and he has been great! He’s very friendly, asks many questions, and explains his process through his adjustments/​what to expect. I’ve had more movement in my neck than I’ve had in months! There is still a little pain, as my neck was inflamed for so many months, however each adjustment has relieved much of the stiffness/​pain. On the first visit, Dr. Strauss did set these expectations right away — that as it took a long time for my neck to get this way — it will take some time to heal and treat it.
I’m looking forward to future visits, and more adjustments. Overall, my whole body is less stiff, and I’ve been motivated to get away from my desk every hour to move and stretch.
I highly recommend Dr. Strauss!

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Strauss. On Saturday, I injured my back so badly that I could barely walk. I called Dr. Strauss and he gave me instructions on what to do. He got me in first thing this morning, and my back feels so much better. Dr. Strauss not only has a great sense of humor, but he cares deeply about his patient’s well being. I would recommend him to anyone looking for excellent Chiropractic care!

I haven’t had an adjustment for 3 years, and my lower back gradually got to the point where I couldn’t sit, sleep or even walk without feeling sharp pain. In just 5 visits, Dr. Strauss was able to straighten my back and make me pain-​free!
Dr. Strauss is very knowledgeable and professional. He also genuinely cares about the well-​being of his patients by learning even the smallest details of their conditions and making suggestions to adjust their lifestyle and exercise routines in addition to his treatments.
Dr. Strauss also helped me with filling out the paperwork for my employer to get the standing desk for my workstation to help me heal faster. Thank you so much, Dr. Strauss!

I was recently in a car accident and was referred to Dr Strauss by my family. My neck and back were hurt and I had pain constantly. Over the past 2 months he has provided me with exceptional relief from pain and discomfort. I would highly recommend his service! Very professional and truly takes care of his patients needs!

Dr. Strauss is excellent! Very friendly and calm and soothing, but he gets right to the point with his adjusting. He and his staff are excellent, and I recommend them highly.

I was having some significant lower back pain and had not seen a chiropractor for a couple years when Dr. Strauss was recommended to me. He did a thorough job understanding my medical history and current challenges and communicating his approach to treatment. His adjustments were spot on and I walked out of his office a new man and a new loyal patient.

Seeing Mark for an adjustment was a great experience.
A few months ago I started to develop back pain and aches that my M.D. really had no answer for other than drugs and clearly wasn’t just some muscular tweak or injury. Weeks go by, pain is up and down but fairly persistent, clearly aggravated by excessive desk work. Despite my best efforts at self-​treatment like swimming, standing desk, or just minding my posture, the pain wasn’t going anywhere. I heard about Mark and thought I’d give this a try.
With no special expectations, you could even call me a skeptic, the adjustments made a very significant difference. Along with some good advice about treating my back better, I have to say I’ve felt a heck of a lot better. Mark knows what he is doing and is a great, trustworthy doctor.

I have been to many different chiropractors but I’m staying with Dr. Mark Strauss, because he’s the best I’ve encountered. He pays attention to my needs (my neck) and knows what to do to get it right. I have sent my husband to him too, and he thinks he’s the best too. I highly recommend him.

I had never been to a chiropractor before, but chronic back problems run in my family and since Kaiser gives you a discount, I thought I’d try it. Dr. Strauss is pleasant and professional and made me feel a lot better. Additionally, he’s honest — when there was nothing else he could do, he told me so and recommended that I strengthen my core by doing Pilates. I followed his advice and my back is better than it’s ever been. I haven’t felt this good since I was 12. To me, his honesty is what will make me go back. Thanks Dr. Strauss! Tip: if you have Kaiser, give Dr. Stauss a try. At $ 15/​treatment, why wouldn’t you?

Excellent chiropractic care!
As a massage therapist, I have worked with and been treated by many chiropractors in the past, and Dr. Mark Strauss DC is among the best I have experienced.
With a gentle yet strong, and intuitive touch, Dr. Strauss has a very effective adjustment technique, which he has honed over his 20 years in practice. I have received a few sessions, and he has helped relieve me of pain, and keep my body aligned and healthy.
I recommend him wholeheartedly to my clients, friends and family seeking quality Chiropractic Care. He is located near central San Rafael and the 101, easy access from most of Marin County, and other parts of the bay area too.

Regarding Chiropractic care (my opinion):
I have been well served by chiropractic care in my lifetime. It has been the most effective treatment for me when I have had pain in my body, particularly in my back and neck. I do find the benefits are farther reaching, I simply feel great with regular chiropractic care (at least every couple months as maintenance), and when I have had pain — it really helps like nothing else.
Combined with regular massage therapy, I just get used to feeling good!

Mark Strauss is a great chiropractor who has fixed 3 seriously painful back «outages» over the last 15 years. I should have recommended him earlier, I am so grateful for his help. Each time, 3 or 4 years apart, it has been different parts of my back — upper, then lower, and recently my neck. Each time he has provided nearly miraculous fixes in a few sessions. Mark says I should come in for quarterly adjustments… I never did, but I am gong to do that from now on, and save myself future pain. He’s also a really nice guy by the way! I’m writing this for people who are unhappy with their chiropractors and especially for people who never go to chiropractors. Don’t let them tell you that you need a back operation! Try Mark first…

Choosing a chiropractor is a perplexing undertaking. There are so many different styles of treatment, and styles of practitioners. For a long time, I had been looking for a chiropractor, but hadn’t found anyone to replace my old doctor, who had retired.
I found Dr Strauss by referral from a trusted friend. His recommendation was well-​earned. I’ve been extremely happy with my physical improvement.
Dr Strauss’ office is clean, attractive, and comfortable. He is prompt, efficient, and skilled. Unlike some chiropractors, who only «crack backs,» Dr Strauss also utilizes physical therapy techniques.
I would happily recommend him to anyone who is looking for help healing and strengthening joint/​muscle/​back.

I didn’t realize I was walking around with chronic pain– when a good friend referred me to Dr. Strauss I was amazed how great I felt after just a couple of visits! Dr. Strauss is very warm, kind and truly cares about me as his patient. We have tried several different techniques for various issues I have had and so far he has been spot on with his treatment. I would recommend (& have) Dr. Strauss to anyone looking to stay pain-​free. His office is beautiful too– he took all of the photographs from places he has visited. Very warm, peaceful, healing environment… :O)

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Strauss for years now and would highly recommend him. He’s very good about responding quickly to appointment requests and giving immediate relief. He’s very friendly, genuine and professional. It’s not at all like the high volume offices I’ve been to that try to pressure you into regularly scheduled visits. He treats your ailments as needed and gives great information about maintaining your health. Because of his care I’m able to stay active at both work and leasure. Aaron

If you are looking for a chiropractor, I highly recommend Dr. Strauss. Not only does he cure my headaches every time I see him (BAD headaches, migraines!), he is kind, professional, and compassionate. One of the best things about him is is flexibility. He doesn’t require an appointment!!! Just drop in during his business hours and be seen IMMEDIATELY! He has several treatment rooms so he’s able to accommodate you when you’re just ‘driving by’. 5 stars for this guy, and I’d give him 6 if they let me.

I have been going to Dr. Strauss off and on for over 20 years. He is excellent. I always leave there feeling so much better. He truly cares about peoples health and well being. His knowledge of the human body extends well past the spine, he has helped me with many aspects of my health and I would recommend him to anyone. He is especially good in working on sport related injuries. If you have your doubts about Chiropractic care, give Dr. Strauss and try, you will not be disappointed!

My neck had been hurting for ages and the traditional physical therapy approach was of absolutely no use. Massages helped for awhile but no longer had any lasting affect. Then my lower back started to hurt. Thankfully a neighbor recommended that I see Dr. Strauss.
The office is clean and pleasant, beautiful actually. The scheduling is very flexible, drop in for emergencies. My spine is aligned and I regret not knowing about Dr. Strauss earlier. I could have avoided a couple of years of pain.

He seems like a good chiropractor.
What I did not like is his business style. Tried to sell me a series of visits, and I don’t think we was truly listening to me. I felt like he was more concerned about me having to meet his multiple visits rather than curing my pain.
Pretty generic.
