Allan Radman, D.C.

I'm a chiropractor working in Aptos, CA. I'm the only chiropractor certified in functional movement systems and Rock Tape in the Monterey Bay. And I'm the only chiropractor who has been a patient long before I became a chiropractor.

Functional Movement was developed by a physical therapist to detect, quantify, and correct dysfunctional movement patterns through specific exercises. Functional movement works especially well for patients rehabbing from injury and athletes looking for an edge. Standard rehab protocol reinforces dysfunctional movement which leads to failed results which can lead to reinjury. A similar protocol is used by many athletes.

The beauty of Functional Movement is it takes a movement pattern and breaks it down to all its components. Some patients will never reach a perfect movement pattern, which is okay. The deficient movement parts is recognized and the patient can use simple home exercises to improve.

What separates my practice from others?

1) No X-Rays unless there is a medical need. Having a chiropractic subluxation is not a medical need.

2) Real, hands-on adjusting techniques. There are no instruments.

3) No contracts ever. I never tell patients the scary subluxation story and therefore you need to spend thousands or you'll get sick. I've had that talk given to me in my former life as an engineer.

4) Many of my patients make their own appointments. I don't call you to make you feel guilty about not scheduling a follow up appointment. Many patients feel better after the first adjustment. Some patients reschedule themselves on a regular basis. I use an online scheduling software service. It's easy.

5) I accept Medicare

I like to see my patients get better faster, which is why I believe in functional movement. If you can move without pain and make improvements on how well you move, then there is no need for you to see a physician.

What's more, if you are a Disabled Veteran, you get free chiropractic from me 365 days a year. Not just on November 11th, You get free chiropractic from Jan 1 through Dec 31. And if you are a non-disabled veteran, then I provide free chiropractic to you 4 days a year - Memorial Day, 4th of July, Veterans Day and your birthday. No out of pocket expenses period.

I mentioned my previous life. I was an engineering manager in Silicon Valley years before chiropractic.
