What to Expect

Bissell Chiropractic Sports Medicine is thorough and helpful

Beginning Chiropractic Care

Since chiropractic care and physical therapy usually involve a series of visits, with each one building on the the ones before, it's important that our relationship can go the distance. We've found that one of the best ways to have successful patient relationships is to explain everything in advance. No surprises!

The more you understand who we are, what we do and why we do it, the better results you’ll enjoy. It’s as simple as that.

So, check us out here. Poke around. Get to know us. Then, contact us to make an appointment so we can get to know you.

  • First Visit. To find out if we can help you, we ask questions and listen. If your problem is straightforward we will start treatment immediately.
  • Online Paperwork. We offer our paperwork on line so you can complete it in the convenience of your own home

Dr. Bissell Asks some important questions of interest to Santa Barbara residents - Chiropractor Santa Barbara Dr. Bissell Asks...

Where do most Santa Barbara residents get their first subluxation?
Being born in a hospital is a common source of subluxation. Trauma from forceps delivery has been replaced with drugs, vacuum extraction, Cesarean section and births that are "scheduled" to fit the workweek routines of Ob-Gyns. That's why we recommend a chiropractic checkup for every Santa Barbara newborn.
What's the difference between a "good" drug and a "bad" drug?
As a chiropractor, I see the use of many drugs (legal or illegal) as merely symptom treating. Worse, virtually every drug produces unwanted effects. The effects of chiropractic are largely positive effects. If you're a Santa Barbara parent, consider carefully before giving your child a cough medication, cold remedy or pain reliever so this sort of question doesn't arise in the first place.
