“Healing is not the fixing of broken things — it’s the rediscovery of our natural harmony.” — Jeff Foster
When most people think of chiropractic care, they imagine quick, forceful adjustments or the sound of joints “cracking.”
But at Sun Valley Integrative Chiropractic in San Rafael, our philosophy is different.
For over three decades, Dr. Brigitte Faas and Dr. Jeff Vanderheym have practiced a gentle, integrative approach that respects how the body naturally heals — combining non-force chiropractic techniques, acupuncture, and Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) to help patients recover faster and feel better longer.
Understanding the Body’s Healing Intelligence
Your body is an intelligent system, designed to self-regulate and repair.
When the spine or nervous system becomes stressed by injury, posture, or emotional strain, communication between the brain and body weakens. The result can be pain, fatigue, or chronic tension that no amount of medication seems to fix.
Gentle chiropractic adjustments work with this innate intelligence — restoring alignment, relieving pressure, and allowing your nervous system to function as it was meant to.
Integrating Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM)
For patients with chronic pain or cellular fatigue, Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) can be life-changing. This leading-edge therapy delivers low-level electrical currents that mimic the body’s natural signals, helping cells repair and recover energy more efficiently.
Drs. Faas and Vanderheym have found that combining FSM with chiropractic care can accelerate healing and deliver lasting results — especially for conditions like:
- Chronic neck and back pain
- Headaches and migraines
- Fibromyalgia
- Sports injuries and post-surgical recovery
- Inflammation and fatigue
