SCOTT NISSENBAUM, DC, ART

Scott Nissenbaum, DC, ART, founder of PERFECTLY ALIGNED, has been providing chiropractic care to the San Carlos community since 2013. He has dedicated his life to studying and practicing chiropractic care, a passion inspired by his intellectual interest in human health as well as his personal experiences with pain and recovery. He believes in working closely with patients to educate them about their conditions and provide effective treatment through gentle chiropractic adjustments, Active Release Techniques® (ART®), and therapeutic exercises. He collaborates with his patients to help them get out of pain and, ultimately, to live a pain-free life.

Dr. Nissenbaum specializes in chiropractic adjustments and ART®. These modalities allow him to diagnose and care for patients with a wide range of conditions, including but not limited to back and neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, wrist pain, sciatica, discomforts associated with pregnancy, digestive issues, headaches, and hypertension. He and his staff diligently work with your other physicians and health care providers to provide the most comprehensive, coordinated care possible with an integrated, holistic approach.

Dr. Nissenbaum’s patients travel from as far as San Francisco, the East Bay, the San Mateo County coast, and San Jose to his downtown San Carlos office. He treats each patient with individualized care, and he considers every individual and family a part of his community. Dr. Nissenbaum is passionate about being involved in the community. You can catch him speaking at a local event, supporting a fundraiser for one of the many causes in San Carlos CA, or strolling about the weekly Farmers’ Market with his family.. You may also catch him coaching youth baseball and basketball with his twin boys or volunteering his time in their classrooms.

Affectionately know as “Dr. Scott” or “Dr. Niss” to his patients and colleagues, he sets the tone at PERFECTLY ALIGNED. We hope everyone who enters our doors feels the warmth and authenticity. And expect a big hug or big laughs, too.

TOM DUNCAN, L.Ac.

Tom brings a great deal of experience and knowledge to his practice. His development as a practitioner begins with a meditation practice that has continued his entire adult life. As he developed his meditation for personal development a curiosity for the healing arts developed and led Tom into to the study and practice of Qi Gong, Pilates, massage and eventually the study of Traditional Chinese Medicine and completion of a Masters Degree in TCM from the University of East West Medicine where maintains a connection to the school as a faculty member teaching Tuina. Along the way he developed intuition by completing the program of Intuition MedicineTM and becoming a Certified Intuition Medicine Practitioner which he incorporates into his practice.

When not practicing acupuncture Tom spins a great deal of time in Nature which he believes grounds and rounds him. Most recently that interest in Nature has developed into an avid Bird Watching hobby which at times he is able to share with his three adult children. Bird watching pairs well with Tom’s other interest which is traveling. That travel has led him as far south as Argentina and as far north as the Arctic Circle. The most important journey we make is inside ourselves and to explore that journey and share it with others Tom is also a certified I Love Me Meditation instructor.
