Dr. Ameneh Raeisghasem, DC

Webster-Certified Prenatal & Family Chiropractor in San Francisco

Webster-Technique Certified • Prenatal, Postpartum & Family Chiropractor • Prenatal and Family Specialist • 20+ years of experience

A Lifelong Commitment to

Whole-Family Wellness

Dr. Ameneh came to chiropractic from a place of deep personal conviction: families deserve healthcare that supports the whole person, not just the symptom in front of them.

As a wife and mother of three, she understands first-hand what it means to carry a family—the physical demands of pregnancy, the exhaustion of early parenthood, and the aches that come with keeping a household running. That lived understanding shows up in every appointment she leads.

Over 20+ years in clinical practice, Dr. Ameneh has cared for patients from preconception through pregnancy, birth, the postpartum period, and childhood. Her patients describe her as warm, thorough, and deeply committed—trusting her not just with their pain, but with their growing families.

The Webster Technique for Pregnancy

As a Webster Technique Certified Chiropractor through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), Dr. Ameneh utilizes specialized sacral analysis and low-force adjustments to:

Restore Pelvic Alignment: Relieves structural strain on the lower back and hips.
Reduce Uterine Tension: Releases tightness in surrounding ligaments to maximize space for the baby.
Support Optimal Fetal Positioning: Helps babies move freely into ideal birthing positions for safer, smoother labor.

Comprehensive Low-Force Care

To support complex cases like disc-related pain, pregnancy-induced sciatica, and chronic tension, Dr. Ameneh integrates advanced modalities:

Cox Flexion-Distraction: A gentle, non-surgical traction technique designed to relieve disc herniations, lower back pain, and nerve pressure.
Acupressure for Pain Relief: Targeted non-invasive pressure-point therapy to complement spinal adjustments and soothe acute soreness.

"What sets Dr. Ameneh apart is the care she takes to explain. She walks patients through every adjustment, ensures they understand what is happening and why, and provides customized home stretches so patients leave informed—not just treated."

Educational Background & Experience

Dr. Ameneh earned her Doctor of Chiropractic and B.Sc. in Human Biology from the National University of Health Sciences in Chicago, alongside a B.Sc. in Microbiology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Before joining Thriving Life Wellness Center in 2017, she taught Physiology, Pathology, and Kinesiology at colleges in Boston and the San Francisco Bay Area. This academic background allows her to communicate complex anatomical concepts clearly, making even first-time chiropractic patients feel completely at ease.

Dr. Ameneh is the founder of Claremont Family Chiropractic in Pleasanton, California. She divides her time between caring for families and individuals at Thriving Life Wellness Center in San Francisco and her private practice in the East Bay.

Dr Ameneh is wonderful. Both myself and my 2 year old daughter have been seeing her for two years. She is very approachable and understands your concerns with your pain or discomfort. The treatment has been very effective for myself and my daughter, both whom are busy running around.

Dr Ameneh is phenomenal. I have had shoulder and back pain for 2 years and have seen doctors and physical therapists. Finally on the verge of giving up a friend recommended this practice for me. I came in not overly hopeful but after the first visit I immediately had more range of motion. After a few visits my pain level went from a 7 to a 3 with less frequency. She describes what she is doing and why which helps me to understand and feel better about what is being done. I am still a client and will gladly provide a recommendation.
