Why Chiropractic Care is Safe and Effective for EDS and Hypermobility

At Foster City Chiropractic, we recognize that people with EDS and hypermobility need special care. For these conditions, we focus on gentle adjustments using low-force techniques that are specifically designed to avoid overstretching the joints or causing harm to the connective tissues. Here’s how chiropractic care can make a difference:

1. Low-Force Adjustments for Joint Stability

People with EDS often experience joint instability due to their hypermobile joints. Traditional chiropractic adjustments can sometimes exacerbate these issues, but with gentle, low-force techniques, we can still help restore joint alignment and improve overall function without overstretching the tissues. This non-invasive approach can provide lasting relief from chronic pain and discomfort while ensuring the safety of your connective tissues.

2. Soft Tissue Therapy for Pain Relief

In addition to spinal adjustments, we use a variety of soft tissue therapies like myofascial release and trigger point therapy to relieve muscle tension, ease pain, and improve blood flow. These therapies are designed to work with your body’s natural healing process, helping to reduce discomfort and increase mobility—without putting extra strain on your joints or ligaments.

3. Proprioception and Joint Stabilization

Joint hypermobility often leads to proprioception issues, where individuals struggle to sense where their joints are in space. Chiropractic care can help by incorporating joint stabilization exercises and balance techniques to improve proprioception and give your body the support it needs to function more effectively.

4. ADHD and Nervous System Regulation

Because ADHD can create challenges with nervous system regulation, chiropractic care can help promote calmness and focus by balancing the nervous system. Gentle spinal adjustments and craniosacral therapy can help reduce the tension in your nervous system, helping you feel more centered, calm, and able to focus.

5. Holistic Lifestyle Support

Chiropractic care isn’t just about adjustments. We offer comprehensive support, including advice on diet, exercise, and lifestyle modifications that can help you strengthen your joints, reduce inflammation, and improve overall health. We’re here to support you in every aspect of your well-being.


A Story of Hope and Relief: How Dr. Jeff Helped a Patient with EDS and ADHD

Dr. Jeff, the lead chiropractor at Foster City Chiropractic, has a wealth of experience working with individuals suffering from EDS and hypermobility. Early in his career, he had the privilege of working under one of the top EDS chiropractors in San Francisco, where he saw firsthand how gentle chiropractic techniques could bring major relief to patients with complex conditions.

One story that stands out is of a young woman with EDS who had been dealing with chronic joint pain, frequent dislocations, and constant muscle tension. She also struggled with ADHD, which made it even more difficult for her to focus on therapy and maintain consistent self-care.

When she first came to Dr. Jeff, she felt frustrated and exhausted, having tried numerous treatments that didn’t seem to work. Her joints felt unstable, and she couldn’t get through the day without experiencing pain or discomfort.

But after a careful assessment and gentle adjustments, Dr. Jeff began helping her stabilize her joints, release muscle tension, and improve her posture. Over time, she began to feel more grounded and comfortable in her body. Not only did the chronic pain and dislocations decrease, but her ability to focus improved as well. She felt more connected to her body and was able to engage fully in her life again.

In Dr. Jeff’s words, “It’s not about fixing you, because there’s nothing wrong with you. It’s about helping you restore balance, giving your body what it needs to heal, and helping you express your full life force. Once we do that, the pain and discomfort start to fade, and your body starts functioning as it was meant to.”
