Dr. Nicholas Araza, D.C.

Six years ago I had lower back issues. Dr. Nick and his team got me back on track and I still do not have lower back issues to this day because of their unique treatment protocol. I am now being treated for my neck. Santa Barbara Family Chiropractic is much more than a chiropractic practice. They take a wholistic approach to wellness with coaching on posture, how to eat healthy, homework exercises that really work and a super skilled high energy staff! I am half way through my treatment and my neck is 70% improved. Dr. Nick and his team are amazing and you will not regret treatment there. Highly recommend them!

I love Santa Barbara Family Chiropractic! I have been treated by and worked for many chiropractors and none have put the time, thought, and care into me, my body, and my pain like Dr. Nick and his team. At the beginning of my year of care, Dr. Nick took complete x-rays of my spine with a very thorough intake of each aspect of my health issues and thoroughly explained to me how my spine and health relate while consistently engaging me in the conversation. I had never felt so heard. Dr. Nick is a true problem solver which isn't as common as it should be in healthcare. The entire team is professional, but also so friendly. It's very common to see clients chatting away with the team like old friends. With the addition of personally fitted traction and exercises taught by Noah, this is the most complete and effective treatment I have come across. As a massage therapist, everything they teach and worked on with me made good sense, and I also learned so much. Even though life made my treatment a bit less consistent than I needed and Covid cut our relationship short, not only is my pain significantly less and more manageable, I know what to do to get it back in check. There is finally an answer to the pain and other health issues I have been trying to manage for half my life.

This isn't your everyday chiropractic office. When you visit the office you quickly realize you are wellness fitness center complete with warm up area, fitness equipment and specialized equipment to help mold your skeleton back into a healthy shape. Dr Nick calls it "Restorative" Chiropractic. He defined my Success in 3 areas 1) pain relief 2) improved range of motion and 3) restoring my backbones back to a healthy position and maintaining that position for life. #1 and #2 happened very quickly. #3 is part of a lifestyle change that learned while going through Dr Nik's Educational Video Series. Thank you Dr Nick, and staff, for giving me back freedom from back pain and a way to live a healthier and more active life!

I have seen Dr. Nick and the team help people finally solve their pain and issues who have tried “everything” with little to no results. As a Health & Fitness Coach and gym owner At Innate Fitness in Santa Barbara, it can be a challenge to find quality chiropractic care that helps our clients build a solid foundation for preventing injuries and optimizing performance. Dr Nick and his team at SBFC are head and shoulders above most practitioners when it comes to a thorough assessment, care plans and patient education for long term corrective care so they don’t have to continue to deal with pain and injury. I can’t recommend their services highly enough for someone who is serious about learning about their body and achieving long term results. Also I trust my own spine, injuries and health to their team as well.

I've been going to SBFC for over 3 years now (maybe 4!). Dr. Nick is incredibly talented and I'm so grateful that his care allows my body to perform the way that it does. I love that the whole staff is incredibly friendly, the office is cozy and Dr. Nick is so very generous with his knowledge. He sets you up to make good choices so that you can life a longer, happier and healthier life. Chiropractic care isn't just for injuries! It's a vital part of my overall wellness regimen.
