About DeSalvo Chiropractic

Since 1987, DeSalvo Chiropractic has helped Novato-area families move better and live with less pain — without relying on drugs or surgery as the first answer.

We believe great chiropractic care starts with listening. Every patient gets a thorough exam, a clear explanation of what we find, and a specific, time-bound plan — never open-ended treatment. From gentle adjustments and non-surgical decompression to corrective exercise and soft-tissue therapies, our team builds care around you and your goals.

  • A one-on-one consultation with Dr. DeSalvo
  • A review of your health history
  • A discussion of your symptoms, your goals and what you have already tried
  • A straight answer on whether we can help — and what it would cost if we can
