You shouldn’t have to just push through it.
Pregnancy and early motherhood bring incredible changes to your body, but living with constant low back pain, hip discomfort, or tension shouldn't be your new normal. Many women are told that pain is just "part of the process" and that they simply have to endure it until delivery.
But when your body is strained, sleeping, caring for older children, and simply getting through the workday become exhausting uphill battles. It affects your mood, your energy, and your ability to enjoy this profound chapter of your life.
At Thriving Life Wellness Center, we believe you deserve relief.
Our gentle, specialized approach works with your changing body to restore balance, ease discomfort, and help you feel strong and supported every step of the way.

Thriving Life Wellness Center Review
I had Shockwave therapy on both my right and left wrists within the first 6-12 months postpartum. The repeated sessions were so helpful with very intense pain that resulted from new repetitive movements with baby and still lots of relaxin in my system. I recommend!
I have been cared for by each of the excellent chiropractors here over the years and enthusiastically endorse their entire group as extraordinary healers. Most recently, I arrived 5 days ago barely able to lift my right arm, made a same day appointment online, and now, four days later after two sessions with Dr Danielle, am back to lifting weights and playing pickleball (cautiously!), in comfort and ease. I highly recommend all of the practitioners here. No force, no X-rays, just gentle touch, and expert subtle adjustments. They are warm, professional, gentle and most importantly, Effective ! Thank you team !
I discovered Thriving Life Wellness Center while I was pregnant and have been a huge fan of Dr Danielle Geiger's gentle approach to chiropractic care ever since. Now that I am post-partum, both my daughter and I see Dr Danielle regularly. I recently tried shockwave therapy for the first time for lower back pain prior to getting on some long flights for the holidays and found it really effective, giving me about a week of relief which made the flight there much more comfortable. I couldn't recommend this practice enough!
The team at Thriving Life Wellness is outstanding. Especially, Dr. Danielle Geiger and the massage therapist, Sergio (seriously, best massage of my life). I sought care with Dr. Geiger for lower back pack during pregnancy and also to help with a breach baby. Both resolved under her care. She is both professional and personal. I felt truly cared for and would absolutely return to them in the future, if needed. She also treated me during the postpartum period and helped with our new baby! Highly recommend.
I fell 17 feet from a scaffolding, fracturing my right foot and the upper right side of my hip bone. It didn’t require surgery or any casts, but the pain was intense and the bruising was severe. Doctors said it could’ve been much worse but it was still going to take 6-8 weeks for the pain to subside and total healing would be quite a bit longer. Crutches were needed to get around, but I started shock wave treatment within the first week. The pain seemed greatly reduced after the first treatment and the bruising faded at an amazing rate in the areas where the “wand’ had been used. I had weekly shock wave treatments and after three weeks I stopped using the crutches, the bruising was completely gone and I only had pain in my foot if I walked or stood up for too long. My road to recovery from this severe injury was much faster with the Shockwave therapy than it would have been on it’s own.
I have been coming here a few months for chiropractic care and have noticed a huge difference! I am an avid runner and frequently have soreness on one side of my body - with getting my alignement fixed it has helped prevent the soreness and my running has improved overall! Highly recommend!

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you only see pregnant patients?
While we specialize heavily in prenatal and postpartum care, we proudly treat patients of all ages—including partners, infants, and growing children.
What makes Thriving Life Wellness Center different?
All of our doctors are Webster-certified with specialized training in perinatal biomechanics. We focus entirely on gentle, non-invasive techniques tailored specifically to the changing maternal body.
What can I expect on my first new patient visit?
Your first visit includes a thorough consultation, a comprehensive postural and nervous system evaluation, and a gentle treatment plan tailored entirely to your current symptoms and goals.
Do you treat babies & children?
Yes! Pediatric chiropractic care is extremely gentle (often using no more pressure than you would comfortably apply to your closed eyelid) and helps support nursing, sleeping, and spinal development.
Where are you located?
You can find us at 2126 Sutter Street in the heart of Lower Pacific Heights, centrally located right across the street from Sweet Maple. Our family-friendly clinic is highly accessible, whether you are driving or taking public transit. For those driving, metered street parking is widely available along Sutter, Post, and Geary streets, and convenient garage parking can be found just three blocks away at the Japantown Center Garage or a few blocks further up at the 2420 Sutter Street Garage. If you are arriving via SF MUNI, the 2-Clement, 3-Jackson, 43-Masonic, and 38-Geary bus lines all drop off within a short walking distance of our front door.
Do you offer same-week availability?
We strive to accommodate expecting mothers quickly when pain strikes. Please reach out or check our booking portal for current same-week availability.
Can chiropractic help with headaches and migraines?
Yes — tension headaches and cervicogenic headaches (those originating from the neck and upper cervical spine) respond particularly well to our BGI chiropractic approach. We assess the cervical spine, upper thoracic spine, and surrounding musculature to identify the structural contributors to your headache pattern, and treat these as part of a broader care plan. Many patients who have managed headaches for years find meaningful reduction in both frequency and intensity through regular care. For migraines, the picture is more complex — chiropractic is one of several evidence-informed approaches, and we give an honest assessment of how much we think we can help at your first visit.
Can chiropractic help with TMJ pain and jaw tension?
Yes. TMJ dysfunction is closely connected to tension patterns in the neck, upper cervical spine, and cranium — all of which our whole-body BGI approach addresses directly. Rather than treating the jaw in isolation, we work with it through its relationship with the rest of the head and neck. This is why patients who haven't found lasting relief through dental approaches alone often respond well to chiropractic care. TMJ pain during pregnancy is also something we treat regularly — hormonal changes and postural shifts can significantly aggravate jaw tension in pregnant women.
Do you treat back pain in people who aren't pregnant?
Absolutely — chronic and acute back pain in non-pregnant adults is one of the most common things we treat. Our BGI approach is particularly effective for back pain that has persisted for months or years, keeps recurring, or hasn't responded fully to other treatments. We look at the whole picture — posture, movement patterns, nervous system tone, and the history of how the pain developed — rather than just the site of discomfort. Many patients who have tried standard chiropractic without lasting results find that our gentler, whole-body approach produces the change they'd stopped expecting.
Do you offer shockwave therapy or other regenerative treatments?
Yes, we do! At Thriving Life Wellness Center, we offer Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) as a non-surgical treatment option to help address chronic pain, break down scar tissue or calcium deposits, and accelerate tissue repair in joints and tendons.
