When I was pregnant, I suffered from very chronic lower back pain. My ob/gyn referred to Dr.Nicholas Athens in San Carlos.It was a tough decision to make during this time. But somehow got the courage and went to him.I should never had feared in the first place.Dr.Athens is so calm,composed,and knows what he does and would make you feel better once he got to work the problem. He adjusts the bones into their proper alignment. It relieves you of any pain whatsoever. Ofcourse, it would take 1 or 2 visits or even more to completely get rid of the problem specially if it has been there and unattended for years.Its been more than 6 yrs that I have been going to him and I have referred more than 28 friends and families to him who have all been extremely happy with his work. The best part is, we dont have to take any medicines for the muscle/bone/sprains etc.I just thank God for Dr.Athens and his staff.I can trust no one else with my bones/adjustment of my spines.
