"I've had chronic back pain all my life. My back and neck became so painful that I was unable to drive or get out of bed without serious difficulty. In desperation I came to see Dr. Brian. After a period of intense treatment for a couple of months I was able to do all regular movements without pain. My range of motion has increased, my posture improved and my pain has been largely relieved. I feel like a normal person again! I can lift my grandchildren, dance and drive! My life has really improved."

"I had problems turning my head, I could no longer ride my bike and I was in pain 98% of the time. After many medical doctor visits of being told they could do nothing for me and that I would just have to learn to live with my pain, I decided to seek other forms of treatment. I used to be skeptical of Chiropractic for no real reason other than that I had been raised that way. I can honestly say that Chiropractic has helped me 100%. My pain and discomfort are gone. I am riding my bike more than ever now. If I had kept listening to the people that were against Chiropractic, I would still be a very miserable person."

"My 7 year old daughter's pediatrician recommend I bring her to a Chiropractor due to her frequent complaints of neck and back pain. It took only a few visits with Dr. Lemesh for her neck and back to feel better. Perhaps the most remarkable benefit of care was the dramatic decrease in her intermittent asthma symptoms, most notably her chest tightness and wheezing. Her  immune system has also become stronger to the point where she rarely gets ill and recovers quickly when she does. We are so thankful we found Dr. Brian."

"I was suffering from headaches almost 15 days out of each month. With Chiropractic care I now only have two or three per month...I no longer have to take medication every time I get a headache...After my first visit the stress and tension in my neck was gone...The office is very warm and inviting. Dr. Lemesh is very caring and concerned with your personal needs...Thank you for helping me feel better!"
-L.G. 

"As a result of seeing Dr. Lemesh I no longer suffer from as much pain...Overall less back, neck and knee pain. I can also walk without as much pain and difficulty. I have more flexibility and I get less headaches. I am also more active and I smile a lot more...I feel better after getting adjusted. I often get my knees adjusted which helps with my arthritis pain."

Excerpts from a Letter by a Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer:
..."Since we left Petaluma, summer 2010, my search for a quality Chiropractor still continues. I'm convinced I'll never be able to match your level of care...During that long year of training, while I was preparing for Rescue Swimmer School, you kept me straight. Simple as this may sound, the value to me was profound. Maintaining my body at this level allowed me to compete in ways that most could not. My recovery time improved and my overall muscular performance was the best it's ever been...I completed the Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer Program/AST School and I am now standing on duty in Atlantic City, NJ. In my class of 13 people only myself and one other person graduated. A great deal of that accomplishment I owe to you and your one of kind practice. Thank You!"

"My back and joints are constantly getting injured from sports, but Chiropractic care has helped keep me healthy and active. Even when I am hurt, Chiropractic speeds up my recovery time and helps eliminate long-term damage to my spine and body."

"While I was at work I started to get up from my chair and was quickly stopped by a shooting pain and what felt like a cramp of the left side of my lower back. I met with my orthopedic surgeon who recommended bed rest and medication. These helped ease the pain a little, however they did not resolve the problem. I came to see Dr. Lemesh as I was already familiar with Chiropractic care and knew it to be highly effective. I found him to be very knowledgeable and he considers the person as a whole (mind, body, spirit) which is, in my opinion, extremely important as illness and injury affects all of those parts of us...My first visit was just for an assessment, however I was in so much pain I could not sleep and it was uncomfortable to walk. Dr. Lemesh wasn't about to let me leave like that so he suggested that he do a minor adjustment to help relieve my pain. He adjusted my neck and back and I immediately felt relief and was able to sleep that night. Since I have been under care I have also noticed a welcome change in the way I sit, walk and hold my head. I feel so much better in general...Dr. Lemesh has a very caring manner and is truly interested in the total well being of his patients. It's not that often you find this in a doctor. I highly recommend him!"

"I first became ill in June 2004. One evening I became very light-headed and things around me were spinning. A bit shaken I went to bed that night thinking that it would go away. Unfortunately it did not. Over the course of the next few months my mysterious ailment received a name; vertigo. Every doctor and specialist I went to see told me that would just "go away."...At my wits end end, my neighbor, suggested that I visit a Chiropractor. I had never received any Chiropractic care in my life and in all honesty I was a bit skeptical. However at this point not only was my vertigo getting worse, but it was accompanied my severe headaches...Within a month of Chiropractic care my headaches began to diminish and my vertigo symptoms seemed to disappear....I was on the way to recovering thanks to Dr. Lemesh."
-E.D.

"I was having pain in my neck and, as I have had Chiropractic care in the past, thought it might be helpful to address this issue with Chiropractic. A massage therapist/healer I know thought highly of Brian's abilities and since I know her to be discerning, I made an appointment to be adjusted. I experienced significant relief within a couple of visits and have continued to improve. Additionally, the Chiropractic care helps me to be more aware of myself, my energy, the way I move. Over the years I have been worked on my many body workers from a number of modalities and I find Brian Lemesh to be a gifted, caring an sensitive healer."
-J.W.

"I went to Dr. Lemesh because I have suffered from severe migraines practically my whole life. I was having them twice a month, with symptoms that would last days past the actual headache. I had gone to multiple doctors, and none were able to help. They would try and pump me full of drugs and "hope" it would work. My life was being interrupted greatly by the headaches. My friend referred me to see him, since he was helping her so much. My first impression of him was that he was very kind, understanding and personable and made me feel comfortable right away. He explained to me everything that he was doing, and how it would help me. I felt results right away in my lower back pain and soon had great results with my headaches."

"Not only has Dr. Lemesh been able to get my headaches to calm down, he even made it so I was headache-free for eight whole months. No one had been able to help me at all with my headaches before this, and no one really tired that hard. I didn't have to worry about having the debilitating headaches I used to have, and for that I'll always be grateful for Dr. Lemesh."
-T.B. 

"I am a 50 year old male that had sworn off all chiropractic care for the past 20 years as I felt that all that twisting and movement had done nothing but bad things for me the last time I tried this type of healing. My wife had a good experience with Dr Brian and encouraged me to go in for lower back and knee pain. I have been going to Dr Brian for about 6 months now and have become a total believer in what HE does. I am not sure I am a fan of all chiropractic care but I have found that Dr Brian's blend of specific injury care combined with his practical knowledge and his energy has me a big believer in him. I have been mostly pain free for the past 5 months with increased mobility in my spine (I can tell when I turn around to see cars behind me while I drive) and noticeably reduced pain in my lower back and knees which had really hampered me prior to coming in. I am also a dancer and find that I can dance for many hours without the knee and leg pain that had been dragging me to the bench."

"I have been seeing Dr. Lemesh of Petaluma Family Chiropractic since I moved to Petaluma, CA back in late 2003.  He brings a freshness to chiropractic in that he is a continual student of his trade and learns new techniques that can help his patients.  He has a genuineness that is rare.  I have no hesitation in recommending him for anyone of any age.  He is a fabulous doctor and has taken me literally from multiple issues from various accidents over my lifetime to living a pain-free life today!"
- J.M.

"Dr. Lemesh is truly the best chiropractor! I have had experience with about 8 or so, and I travel from Sebastopol in order to experience his healing. He was referred by someone I trust and I know why! --Not only does he do all the traditional manipulations that are needed (and with soft tissue release beforehand to make sure your body is ready to accept with ease!!!!), but Dr. Lemesh also is able to read the body's energy in order to remove blockages, and make adjustments that go beyond the physical. He is a gifted healer and I am very grateful that he has helped me in my healing journey. Additionally, when my 15 year old daughter needed some slight adjusting due to her heavy backpack use for high school, I took her there and she was successfully healed in only a short time. Dr. Lemesh made her feel very comfortable and even though she protested going to the treatments (taking time away from friends, etc!), she always looked and felt better after and had only good things to say!"

"After a prolonged period of hip, back, and leg pain most likely due to over running, I was encouraged by a good friend to seek Dr. Lemesh's help. I was extremely skeptical of chiropractic medicine and mostly viewed it as quackery. But, being just as leery of doctors of medicine, I broke down and made an appointment to see Dr. Lemesh. I was extremely impressed with his knowledge, professionalism, and the thorough examination I received. We talked about several wellness options choosing the best for me. Within the first few visits I could tell my condition was improving. I am now pain free and continue to see Dr. Lemesh on a regular basis every few weeks, maintaining my skeletal and muscular health. I've recommended Dr. Lemesh to others who are equally pleased and will continue to recommend him to others."
-B.C.

"Dr. Brian is not your ordinary Chiropractor. In addition to an intuitive sense of reading the body and providing effective pain relief, he is a most humbled and genuine practitioner with an innate ability to provide care far beyond an adjustment. If you are someone that fears going to a Chiropractor or does not like traditional Chiropractic adjustments (or you do), Dr. Brian will customize your treatment to authentically care for your needs."
​
"A true master, I am grateful to be under his care"
-Julia Faller, Petaluma, CA (Founder & Formulator, Benedetta Farm-Sourced, Organic & Biodynamic Skin Care)

"I would heartily recommend Brian Lemesh to anyone seeking a holistic approach to healing their body.   I am a professional cellist and three years ago was diagnosed with frozen shoulder, a rotator cuff tear, and stenosis of the neck all on one side of my body.  Needless to say this made playing the cello very challenging! I took a few months off and embarked on a long journey towards healing.  I  tried many things at first including seeing a chiropractor. The ten minute appointment was a quick adjustment of my neck which relieved pain for the short term, but did not give me any lasting relief. Because of this experience I was reluctant to see another chiropractor, but my massage therapist kept nagging me to give Dr. Lemesh a try.  I am so glad I did! Dr. Lemesh  spent a lot of time with me initially to really get to know me, my needs and my frustrations.  He is a very sensitive and intuitive healer, and our hour-long sessions include, but are not limited to exercises, massage, and cranialsacral work in addition to chiropractic adjustments. Since I have been seeing Dr. Lemesh I have enjoyed continued healing of my shoulder and neck.  I have cancelled rotator cuff surgery, and returned to a full musical life with my cello.  Last summer I was even able to go on a cycle touring vacation!"

"I began going to Dr. Lemesh several weeks ago for help with help dealing with severe pain in my right knee. It's an issue I've had on and off for years, but I've never had it continue for so long and get so painful. Deciding something had to be done, I took my wife's recommendation to see Dr. Lemesh. (My wife has been going to him for a few months and is delighted with the care she receives there.) I took her advice and have been very glad I did. Dr. Lemesh is very different from other chiropractors I've visited. He focuses more on slow, permanent progress through working with the muscles rather than the typical five-ten minutes of 'bone-cracking' before being shown the door. This helps the body heal itself and maintain equilibrium longer, avoiding needing to go back once or twice a week to get 'a fix' again. My knee is much better--not 100%, but that's probably not ever going to happen--and now I'm having him work on some lower back pain which has cropped up over the last few months of Covid hibernation. I couldn't be more pleased with the care and support I've received from Dr. Lemesh, and would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone dealing with joint issues, malalignment, or almost any type of pain or discomfort."

"Due to chronic, degenerative lumbar problems, I was drawn to contact Dr. Lemesh months before we moved to Petaluma after I read his website.  I am still so impressed with the variety of methods he utilizes along with his underlying values and philosophy. Dr. Lemesh is not a "typical" idea of a chiropractor. He is the first chiropractor I have worked with who took the time to review a detailed health history with me. He is, also, a companionable Spirit Guide whose compassionate care is very grounding. His nature, combined with his techniques, stay with me long after I leave his office.
    Dr. Lemesh's enormously varied repertoire of restorative methods has helped me achieve so much more stability and calm on a physical, emotional, and spiritual nature than I had hoped. His work helps me release "trapped healing energies" via deep tissue work, cranial-sacral sessions, adjustments, and more.
    I so highly recommend Dr. Lemesh that my husband began working with him. He, now, is enjoying improved knee and low-back functioning thanks to Dr. Lemesh's methods. Worth mentioning, of course, is that the healthier WE are, the more our friends and loved ones enjoy life as well since we can be more present and active with them.
    Dr. Lemesh offers such a well-rounded, Yin and Yang world of chiropractic, that we cannot recommend him highly enough. My husband and I have benefited, and we wish the same for everyone seeking wellness."
-I.C.

"I have been a regular patient of Dr. Lemesh's for about a year and a half, and I really appreciate the work that he does.  He takes his work very seriously and tailors the flow of his practice to the particular patient's present needs.  He gives you his attention, and he genuinely wants to help where he can.  He does much more than just "pop you and send you on your way;" he actually systematically investigates the issue and works with you overtime to heal. He has an energy-oriented approach, and that element enhances the experience and the effects of the work.  He is a good man.  I look forward to my visits."
-Z.C.

"After  11 months  of being treated  by Dr.Lemesh  for chronic pain  I can say joyfully that I am starting to feel whole again.  His abilty to  assess treat and  communicate  is excellent . His sensitivity and approach are those of one who really cares. He has helped me tremendously  in becoming more integrated and with understanding  what  my body and mind are asking for and needing . I whole heartedly recommend him to anyone seeking health and healing."

"I have been seeing Dr. Lemesh for a long time and he is the best! He is great with sport specific injuries and helps get me back to my sport in tip top shape. There is nothing I do not like about Dr. Lemesh or what he does, he works wonders! I definitely recommend him to anyone!"

"I had an amazing experience. I've been to chiropractors for many years. Never had I had a more in depth assessment of my conditions and on going care. The office is a very calming and relaxing atmosphere. I highly recommend a visit to see for yourself how your care will be Dr. Brian's number one priority."

I started seeing Dr. Lemesh, about four years ago. He is the best. I've been seeing a chiropractor since 1978 and swear by chiropractics. My last chiropractor was excellent, but retired suddenly. Chiropractics has certainly taken care of the major back problems that I was experiencing up till 1978. I have now seen a total of 5 different chiropractors My last chiropractor, who I saw for over 25 years, was excellent, but I still always had pain, though not nearly as severe as it had become up to 1978. I moved to Petaluma at the end of 2019 and picked the closest chiropractor to my house. Boy did I get lucky.

Dr. Lemesh, spends much time massaging muscles around the area that are problematic.
He then does a series of light adjustments. The other 4 chiropractors I've had in my life, always did hard adjustments, which I loved. When Dr. Lemesh, started doing these passive adjustments, I felt they probably wouldn't have much effect. BOY I WAS WRONG.  Now let me say, that I still have minor aches and pains, but I also have periods where I have no pain and this is amazing.

"I am a 73 year old, very athletic man. I spend an average of 30+ hours per week between bike riding and Table Tennis. I also lift weights and do 600 leg-lifts a week for my abs. I put my body through extremes, and Dr. Lemesh, allows me to keep pushing my body. If you are thinking about trying chiropractic or are not completely satisfied with your present chiropractor, I highly recommend giving Dr. Lemesh, a try. You will be happy you did...."
-R.K.

"Doctor Lemesh took my pain seriously, spent the time to figure out what was wrong and help me heal from an accident I had. He also addressed some layers of muscle damage from when I was younger, helped bring that to the surface and heal it."

"I came in to see Dr. Lemesh at 36 weeks pregnant to try to get my baby to move out of the breech position. After two visits with Dr. Lemesh, my baby moved into vertex position! He was also very thorough with my care plan."
-M.G.

"Dr. Lemesh has been my youngest son's chiropractor since he was 12 years old (now 16). Early on he diagnosed him with mild scoliosis. Not only was Dr. Lemesh able to halt any further curvature of his spine, he was able to reverse a significant part of the curvature. I definitely would recommend Dr. Lemesh's services.
