My family and I have been seeing Dr. Nick for over a decade. He is one of a kind and a wonderful facilitator of bringing about the expression of health. He's helped with an assortment of acute and chronic conditions over the years using various approaches. Dr. Nick is intuitive, patient, educated, experienced, and a good listener. Basically, all the attributes you'd expect from a good doctor, he's got them. I especially appreciate how well he adapts to different conditions/needs. He also offers complementary holistic health education in person and virtually which I have found quite helpful along with receiving physical care. I am grateful for Holistic Adjustments. read more

I so much value Dr. Nick's non-invasive, educational spirit. I sought his help for ear symptoms. My Primary Care Doctor had diagnosed me. But reading the risks-- all the fine print-- I hesitated to sign off. Seeking a less invasive approach, I sought out Dr. Nick for a second opinion. And see what he proposed. Dr. NIck sees my condition a lot among his patients. And referred me to a Specialist he trusts, who does not charge an arm and a leg. That's gold. During my appointment I got an overview of his holistic, non-invasive approach. Most importantly, to me, is promoting anti-inflammatory, microbiome-friendly diets-- to help prevent so many chronic conditions. So relieved to have my ear problem gone! I'll definitely seek Dr. Nick's help in the future. Especially for preventing chronic conditions. read more

Dr. Nick is a miracle worker! Ever since going to him, I have never had to worry about back pain again. He is truly the best chiropractor I have seen and I have been to many specialists for my scoliosis. The difference is he actually cares about his patients and is highly skilled at adjustments. My friends all go to him because we don't trust anyone else. He also offers a first responder discount which shows how much he gives back to the community. Dr. Nick is not only an excellent chiropractor but a wonderful human being. read more

I had never been to a chiropractor before but an old injury in my sacrum flared up and I was literally unable to walk. My regular doctor did nothing but prescribe Advil and hot/cold. I was desperate and in acute pain. I got an appointment with Dr. Nick the same day and he was so awesome. I was so soothed by his confidence and gentleness. He was sure he could help me and he just made me feel so comfortable and reassured. After the first appointment, my pain was 70% gone. I could walk again. After the second, I was completely pain-free. It seriously felt like a miracle! I have returned for adjustments a few times and will continue to do so. Dr. Nick has completely converted me to the practice of chiropractic medicine. read more

Some of my friends have talked about seeing Dr. Nick for a few years now and I've recommended him myself to other folks based positive feedback I've heard. A few months ago my friend talked about how she saw Dr. Nick and how he was able to fix a dull pain she had in her leg for a year. I immediately made an appointment and was so glad I did. I've had chronic stiffness in my neck/ upper back probably due to working at a computer. Typically it would happen bi-monthly and I would end up seeing a massage therapist which helped. I tried Nick and the adjustments took care of the issue, and I really haven't had any major neck issues since. I try to go monthly now and in general have felt more balanced and connected. I've been convinced my husband to go and he's experienced improvement with less back pain that he's experienced for years. In addition to the adjustments, Dr. Nick is such a calm, positive spirit, incredibly kind and is really engaged in your well being holistically. read more

Nick is a highly professional and caring chiropractor! Not only did he help with my persistent shoulder pain- he also taught and inspired me about the healing process. read more

Nick is a really nice guy with great energy, but he did an adjustment on my neck that was WAY too strong. Within two days, my neck muscles were in spasm (pain off the charts). Now, one month later, I'm only 90% back to normal with pretty regular neck pain. Beware chiropractors who think that neck adjustment is their macho ticket to being a good chiropractor. OUCH! read more

This review is for an appointment that happened in September of 2020. The consultation and the adjustment were great, but no one in the office (including the doctor) was wearing a mask. When I asked the receptionist about that, she told me that it's just not something that they do. I would have been much more comfortable with my appointment if masks were enforced, so I'm not going back. read more

Dr. Nick has been hugely helpful in helping me get better on a range of issues, from GERD/acid reflux, to atrial fibrillation, to shoulder/hip problems. His sunny, positive attitude has been a major influence for me in quitting smoking and drinking, as well as making dietary and attitude changes for leading a happier, more healthy life. Also, each Thursday he hosts a metaphysical book club which is a big bright spot in my week, and has helped me build new perspectives about my purpose in the world. I recommend Dr. Nick and the Judah Street Clinic highly! read more

I was suffering from sudden back cramps/knots/pains/torture. I am a stressed out IT worker. I had tried EVERYTHING. Deep tissue massage, acupuncture, stabbing the knot with the corner of my dresser, etc. Finally, I found my way to Dr. Nick. I did not understand his style of chiropractic, but after the immediate and profound results I am a believer. If you are on a healing journey; come here=) read more

The best chiropractor ever! Seriously. He is nice, he takes his time with you, he is gentle, you can see he cares about you and how you are doing/improving and there is always some good laughs. I went there with back issues among a bunch of other things and I barely have pin in my back anymore. He always makes time for me. Thank you so much Dr Nick! read more

Dr. Nick at Judah Clinic is an amazingly knowledgable and thoughtful Doctor of Chiropractic. I first went to see him for a general feeling of asymmetry in my body that was showing up as knee, hip, and shoulder pain that was effecting my athletic pursuits. He was able to do a very thorough muscular assessment and put together a plan of action based on my needs and my goals (heavy weight lifting and running). In follow up sessions we have been continuing to focus on muscular symmetry and general body health. The sessions are a good mix of adjustments (cracking/popping), and muscular/soft tissue work. Dr. Nick is extremely easy to talk to, and has a great 'bed-side' demeanor. You can tell is super enthusiastic about the human body and helping people and brings that passion into every session. His office space is inviting, warm, and zen like - very much like his personality. After seeing him only a handful of times I was able to run a half marathon with zero knee pain and I have my deadlift back up to 200+lbs. I plan on continuing to see him on a regular basis as a proactive way to keep my body balanced and healthy. read more

I was in acute Pain in my neck and back. Nick did several treatments on me and I got so much relief. He listens, he takes his time and he is deeply caring. The office is terrific and not your boring sterile clinic in feeling. Dr Wirtz is terrific, as is his staff. SusanBW read more

Last week, I did one too many backbends in yoga. I completely threw the left side of my mid thoracic out of alignment. It was so bad that driving home from class I could hardly turn my head to the left. The Judah Street Clinic is near my house, so I called them to make an appointment. I have walked past the clinic many times, and it has an extremely inviting aesthetic. Dr. Wirtz's amazingly friendly and knowledgeable wife helped get me an appointment and also helped to explain that Dr. Wirtz approaches his chiropractic knowledge and license with a more integrative and holistic approach. He really combines a lot of different medicines to tailor his individual patients. I am someone who hurts their back a lot. I have battled with a herniated disc, misaligned spines, and lots of pain. I have been to many healers and doctors. Dr. Wirtz in our few meetings, has entirely alleviated my injury from yoga. But beyond just literally being an amazing adjuster and chiropractor, Dr. Wirtz addressed all parts of my life, to really address my overall well being. When you visit with Dr. Wirtz, it is beyond clear that he not only hopes to heal your acute pain, but he hopes that you can help you maintain your health with long term maintenance as a goal. He is the BEST! read more

Dr. Nick genuinely cares about you and the attention your body needs. He is extremely knowledgeable and works with you to find a solution that will be long lasting! Highly recommended! read more

I love, love, love Dr. Nick and the Judah Street Clinic! What a great vibe and doctor at this practice. It's a wonderful place to bring the whole family for healing and thriving! I've spent several years studying and benefiting from various types of chiropractic care, hopping around seeking the cream of the crop. I also become a chiropractic student because of the positive impact the specific technique Dr. Nick uses has had on my life and my loved ones'. (I dropped out of the doctoral program for a variety of reasons, but the main one being how much time, focus, and dedication it takes to become a Doctor of Chiropractic.) What I've learned from my chiropractic healthcare experiences is that there are many different techniques, but not all lead to consistent, positive, and lasting results the way Dr. Nick's have. I'm a huge fan of the zone technique Dr. Nick uses with his patients. He truly understands how the inner workings of the body are connected, and how to balance/adjust patients so that their immune systems are working properly. I only know a handful of doctors that are as effective as Dr. Nick. I'm so grateful for all the care Dr. Nick has been providing me and my loved ones. He has given us hope, ease, and peace. It's the greatest gift anyone can give and I don't know how I'll ever be able to thank him enough. Some traditional western doctors were pretty pessimistic about the conditions I have showed up with at his office, but he's been super effective and surprising them with his positive outcomes. I am also super grateful that Dr. Nick goes out of his way to educate his patients, by offering free weekly study groups and partnering with like minded chiropractors. He also answers all my questions in private when I come in for adjustments. Thank you, thank you, thank you and see you soon. =) read more

i highly recommend Dr. Nick, he changed my life. not ony does he adjust you he offers advice on nutrition etc. because of the anti inflammitory diet he recomended i lost weight, have more energy and when i had blood work done a month after the diet my results were great, unlike 2 years before when i was pre diabetic and high cholesteral. i was having asthma and he worked on my lung merridian and i walked out of his office without asthma! like the Heart song Magic Man. He truly takes time and asks lots of questions about what is going on in ones life etc. thanks you dr Nick! read more

Dr. Nick ~ Chiropractor. Human machinist. Shaman.

Magic man. Also a great person! I go to him for my posture and shoulders, but also to laugh and have good conversation.

Dr. Nick & his Judah Street Clinic are awesome. After 4 years of collegiate rugby I came to Nick with a host of injuries & ailments; ranging from nagging shoulder/neck pain to severe headaches from concussions. Nick approaches healing through physical, mental, and spiritual channels. He gives a thorough lesson into his system - how/why it's effective, and more importantly, tailors healing to your specific goals. The ambiance of his space is unique and totally reflective of Nick's laid-back, Outer Sunset style. Whether you need weekly adjustments or occasional tune-ups; Judah Street Clinic is an amazing place to not only heal the body, but also the mind. read more

Great Street! Traffic moves fast. MUNI's N-Judah line runs through here!

Hello my friends....I have taken it upon myself to not have pain in my life. After 6 years of chronic pain....no more. I found a more permanent fix without the use of medications, steroid injections, acupuncture, two years of chiropractic work, physical therapy or temporary fixes for a larger underlining issue. I have been seeing Dr Nick Wirtz at the Judah Street Clinic for the past two and half months with extraordinary results with diminishment of pain in my l-4 l-5, and multiple areas of my body from inflamation. My entire life has changed. Granted so has my diet. I stay away from certain foods that slow down my bodies healing process. My diet is completely revamped and enjoying life without chronic pain. I feel as though I have a second lease on life. The pain monster no longer controls me. I have the power to create my own health and allow my body to heal itself. I was skeptic at first obviously because I have exhausted all my options. But this kind gentleman I met at my previous employer shared his story and the rest is history. My visits per once a week for about 2-3 months. Every two weeks now, then once a month for two more sessions. I will be honest it was quite expensive initially...180 for the first visit, 80 a visit for additional visits. And unfortunately he does not except insurance....But you know what? You and I both, we're worth the investment. Check him out! You will not regret it, you might even say it's a blessing in the sky! Big congrats to you and hope you take my advice. We all deserve to live without pain so we can all concentrate on what life's really about. Thanks Nick Wirtz for everything that you have done for me. read more

I went to see Dr Wirtz after I injured my back playing sports. I came into his office barely able to bend over. I was worried that it would be months before I could surf again. I was wrong. Dr Wirtz's approach is unique. He admitted that he couldn't just put his hands on me and cure me (too bad because that's what I wanted!). He told me that a lot of the effort was going to have to come from me. When he told me that I had to go on an anti-inflammatory diet, he did so in a way that convinced me to really change my eating habits and to do my part. This was a challenge for me, but his support throughout made it possible (not to mention my girlfriends cooking!) He didn't prescribe a ton of herbs or anything, saving me money. He shows that he really cares and that he knows how hard it can be to be injured and not be able to do the things you love. Dr Wirtz has a deep understanding of the body's workings, not just of muscles, bones and tissues, but of the brain's relationship with the body and nervous system as well. He really takes his job seriously and you can tell he has a passion for learning. He was very careful when adjusting me, not doing anything deep or harsh because I was injured. After following his instructions and three visits (over three weeks) I was feeling loose and was permitted to start surfing again. He did an incredible job on me and I would recommend him to anyone who wants their body to reach its full potential!!! read more
