About Floyd Miñana

After 35 years in clinical practice of chiropractic treating all sorts of spinal problems I have added in the past several years a nutritional component to rehabilitate the entire person. Total wellness is how I live my life and I want to help you on your quest to be free of pain, full of energy, and following a lifestyle that will insure a long healthy life. The components are spinal adjustment, rehabilitative exercises, and nutrition that reflects the most current research in health and longevity.

Most people first see a chiropractor for back pain, leg pain, neck pain or headaches. The first priority is always to reduce or eliminate pain. We identify areas of spinal or extremity dysfunction that we chiropractors call subluxations. These are areas of nervous system stress that are corrected using specific chiropractic adjustments. Nutritional or herbal supplements may also be appropriate to more quickly reduce pain and inflammation.

We primarily use the Activator Methods Chiropractic Technique© to correct subluxations. Dr. Miñana is Advanced Proficiency Certified in Activator Methods. The Activator instrument is the most researched technique in chiropractic and provides very precise, gentle, effective spinal and extremity adjustments.

Early in the process we will begin exercises to support stabilizing your frame and give you the tools to continue caring for your spine in the most effective way.

We encourage all our patients to improve their nutrition and to be educated about healthful eating. We provide comprehensive nutritional counseling including elimination diets, detox programs, help with sugar cravings, inflammation, hormone imbalance and more.

A healthy spine, revitalizing exercises, and nourishing food are the formula for a long, vibrant life. We invite you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Miñana to discuss your unique health issues.

Minana Wellness Services

Services & Techniques

We take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic care to each and every patient. We have included information below about the different  services offered in our office, please call if you have any questions!

Chiropractic Care
We provide advanced spinal correction and chiropractic adjustments utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic care have chiropractors been able to provide the level of help and expertise that is available today. Many of the newest chiropractic techniques are actually safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a chiropractor who cares about utilizing the most advanced chiropractic techniques, I have years of training, expertise and experience in helping patients get pain relief for back pain, neck pain, headaches, and other related conditions originating from the spine. Chiropractic care under a trained professional can even be used to prevent injuries and help you achieve total health or wellness.

Corrective Exercises
At Minana Chiropractic Center,  we teach our patients how to perform special "blueprint" exercises which can help strengthen and correct the irregularities in their body which may be causing pain. Many of these corrective exercises can actually be performed in the comfort of your own home to help improve the effectiveness of your chiropractic care and spinal correction plan. In addition to skeletal misalignment, you may be experiencing pain that is caused by muscles and connective tissues which are out of their proper place. Other types of pain such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches are caused by muscles and tissues that are being used improperly, causing injuries over time. In each case, targeted corrective exercises and stretches from our experienced chiropractor will help you feel good while also helping your body achieve balance and health.

Lifestyle Advice
Many of our patients come to see our chiropractor to address a specific pain symptom such as back pain, neck pain or headaches. While our chiropractor will address each patient's specific condition with chiropractic care, we often find it helpful to "coach" our patients towards achieving a healthier lifestyle. For example, there may be certain activities that you should avoid or do differently to prevent yourself from unintentionally aggravating your particular health challenges. The goal of including lifestyle advice with a chiropractic care plan is to help each and every patient achieve the fulfilling and happy lifestyle they deserve, one that is full of the activities that are enjoyed most. We recognize that every single one of our patients is a whole person, and we use our expertise to help them reach total health and wellness.

Nutritional Counseling
What does nutrition have to do with chiropractic care? The goal of chiropractic care is to help patients achieve total health and balance with their body, and as part of that goal we provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices. Nutritional counseling by our experienced chiropractic health professionals can assist a patient on their return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Do you know how these supplements and vitamins interact with one another? At our chiropractic clinic, we can provide each patient with a structured nutritional program that is based on their individual needs.

Spinal & Postural Screenings
There is a saying that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Your spinal health is no exception. Posture and spinal screenings by a trained and experienced chiropractor can help reveal important health information, unlocking the door to improved health and well-being. In order to help the San Mateo community, we provide screenings at area malls, community events, health fairs and places of employment. Contact us today to arrange a screening at your event or workplace.

Massage Therapy
Massage therapy does more than make you feel good, it can actually help your body achieve balance and health. Massage therapy offers a natural treatment approach which actually relieves musculoskeletal pain for many patients. Our chiropractic office provides specific massage and muscular therapy that is complimentary to their chiropractic care. Each massage therapy plan is tailored to meet the patient's unique pain condition or injury. The benefits of massage therapy may include the increase of blood circulation, a localized reduction in swelling and the relaxation of muscles. Massage has been known to relieve muscle pain and spasms, increase a patient's range of motion, while also aiding in a patient's recovery. Some investigative studies have even indicated that a single session of massage may help boost your immune system!
