Search no further. Dr. Elon Bartlett of Acorn Wellness Center is surely the best prenatal and postnatal chiropractor in the area. I am a professional who has a high-stress job. I sought out a prenatal chiropractor in May 2013 because I was experiencing pain in my pelvic area relating to my pregnancy (first child). Dr. Bartlett well exceeded my expectations. He is friendly, engaging, knowledgeable, and is a master of his profession. During our appointments, he has taught me many things regarding the design and alignment of the body, pregnancy, childbirth, and options regarding caring for an infant. The healthcare providers at my hospital do not offer this important information to me, so I consider Dr. Bartlett to be an invaluable resource. I have continued to work with him, even long after he helped resolve my pregnancy-related symptoms, because I feel energized and affirmed after each visit. I have even trusted him to do craniosacral therapy on my one-month-old son, and will continue to schedule such appointments for my son in the future. The Acorn Wellness Center truly believes in wellness, for the whole family. They offer healthy herbal teas in the lobby area, a clean diaper changing table and supplies, a quiet and private room and a pillow for nursing, and classes and links to resources regarding wellness for infants. Their scheduling and billing policies are very fair and easy to understand. They are clearly motivated by a genuine passion for wellness, not profit. Anyone is welcome to contact me if theyd like more information regarding Dr. Bartletts services.

I struggled with back pain for years, and it became unbearable during my first pregnancy. It was still painful to breathe deeply even 6 months after the birth of my first child. I finally sought chiropractic care from two different practitioners, and while it was helpful, the pain never really went away. I just accepted it as part of life. Then I found Dr. Bartlett and continued treatments with him during my second pregnancy. It was so incredibly helpful. Not only was my pain much less during my pregnancy, but I rarely have any hint of back pain anymore. No stiffness in the morning. No low back pain late in the day. I really hadnt thought that would be possible, yet here I am. And it is wonderful. I also appreciated that he welcomed my daughter and had a lot of toys for her to play with while he worked with me. So helpful! Dr. Bartlett is warm and welcoming and truly loves his work. He has a lot of experience providing prenatal and postpartum care and his treatments are thorough and gentle. He employs the Webster technique which helps with fetal positioning (and, thus, ease of labor). While my first delivery was very long and very challenging, my second was fast (4 hours total) and easy (intense, but no medications or complications). I had a couple of treatments following my delivery and my son was calm and happy during the gentle and mild infant adjustments he provided. He has a beautiful, relaxing office space, as well. Thanks!

CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY WORKED FOR MY NEWBORN I began seeing Dr. Elon Bartlett for my chiropractic care when I was pregnant with my second son. I had been to many chiropractors since relocating to the East Bay and was having trouble finding one that I loved and trusted like the one I had seen in the South Bay. Then I found Dr. Bartlett. He takes the time to massage out the muscles in the affected area before adjusting so that the adjustment is easier and lasts longer. My husband and 4 year old son also see Dr. Barltett for chiropractic care. My second son started having digestive issues at 1 month. He was gassy and really strained to have bowel movements. It was so bothersome to him that it affected his sleep. After dealing with this discomfort for a couple of weeks, I took him to Dr. Bartlett. He treated him with CranioSacral Therapy as well as slight adjustments. After this first session, my son had 3 days where he was more comfortable and passed gas more easily. After the second session, he had 5 days of being more comfortable, passing gas more easily and having more regular bowel movements. During the third session, my son actually had a bowel movement while Dr. Bartlett was working on him! He is now sleeping better and is a happy, smiling baby when awake. I highly recommend Dr. Bartlett for adult, prenatal and child chiropractic. He is extremely attentive and his adjustments are highly effective.

I first came to see Dr. Bartlett when I was pregnant with my second daughter. I found him online and was reassured to read that he specializes in prenatal care. I had lower back pain and stiffness between the shoulders. What I like most about his approach is that he always massages the areas that are tight first, making the adjustments more comfortable. He also always takes the time to explain what hes doing, whats contributing to my issues, and teaches me a few stretches or strengthening exercises to build stability on my own. I was recently in a car accident so was very happy that I was able to continue to see him, and have him directly bill my car insurance, as well as get wonderful hour-long massages from his massage staff. My 5 year old daughter was in the car with me when the accident happened, so I brought her in to see him as well. In the past, since the office is so kid-friendly shes come in with me and Dr. Bartlett has always included her in the conversation and built up rapport with her. So after the car accident, it was very easy to have her "tag along" with me, and then he gave her a quick check up and gentle treatment with his adjusting tool. She laughed and said it "tickled" and that was it. Ive also brought in my baby girl to get CranioSacral Therapy right after she was born, so almost my whole family has seen him. Thanks, Dr. Bartlett

I came to Dr. Bartlett last December, referred to me by my OB-GYN to help flip my baby who was in breech position. I called 2 weeks before my scheduled C-section, kindof in a panic to get the baby flipped. Dr. Bartlett amazingly was able to see me that same day, within a couple hours of calling actually. They even scheduled more appointments with me even though this was all around the New Years holiday. Dr. Bartlett was very kind, very reassuring of my nervousness regarding "cracking bones," and yet was very realistic, not wanting to promise miracles. I went in with really my only goal being to flip the baby and avoid a C-section, but Dr. Bartlett made sure to work on all my aches and pains, which were quite a lot at this point in the pregnancy (almost the full 40 weeks). I went 4 times in the 2 weeks before my baby was born, and although my baby remained breech (shes stubborn like mommy) I was amazed at the results. I felt better at 9 months pregnant than I did at 6 months, when my aches started. My experience was great, and I plan on coming in to get adjusted from the start of any future pregnancies. Im actually hoping to come in regularly anyway to get adjusted; I just need my finances to allow it. Thank you Dr. Bartlett! I have and will continue to recommend to all my prego friends. :)
