Dr. Anjali Agrawal

“It all started with a cold.”

-DR. ANJALI AGRAWAL

Dr. Anjali was pursuing her life-long dream of going into healthcare by entering the pre-med program at UCSD. After her Freshman Year, she returned home for the summer and started looking for a summer job. Through some coincidental events, Dr. Anjali started working for a Chiropractor as a Receptionist and started receiving chiropractic adjustments. Prior to this job, Dr. Anjali actually had no idea that Chiropractors were even involved with healthcare, but quickly developed an interest in this holistic whole-body approach. One morning when Dr. Anjali was supposed to go to work, she woke up with some very sniffles. She called her boss to inform her, and the Chiropractor asked her to come in for an adjustment, and then she could go home. Dr. Anjali went to get her adjustment, and as if by magic, by the time she walked back out to her car, her sniffles were gone and she felt great!

Even though she had seen many patients having marked improvement in their health, Dr. Anjali's own experience with the effectiveness of the adjustment with her cold was the catalyst for ultimately pursuing a career in Chiropractic.

Dr. Anjali started with a passion for working with families to help them conceive and providing holistic prenatal and postnatal care, as well as working with newborns and children of all ages.

Over the last nearly 10 years, her passion has widened and she now continues to help families locally as well as entrepreneurs and corporate businesses around the world.

“My biggest passion is to help others move well, eat well, and live well.”

-DR. ANJALI AGRAWAL

Dr. Anjali Agrawal's ultimate purpose for growing and expanding her online wellness business and chiropractic practice is deeply rooted in her family, comprising her husband and two young daughters.

Motivated by a desire to provide a better life for her loved ones, Dr. Anjali has embarked on a journey driven by a passion for holistic healthcare. Her initial introduction to chiropractic care, through a serendipitous summer job, ignited a newfound fascination with its whole-body approach. This transformative experience, coupled with the profound impact it had on her own health, solidified her commitment to sharing the benefits of chiropractic care with others.

As she navigates the path of entrepreneurship and builds her online presence, Dr. Anjali remains steadfast in her dedication to not only her professional growth but also to creating a legacy of well-being for her family and community.

Through her endeavors, she seeks to inspire others to prioritize their health and nurture their bodies, echoing the values she holds dear within her own family.

Why I Won’t Be Your Holistic Bandaid: A 360° Approach to Real Healing

May 02, 20253 min read

When you're in pain, what do you usually reach for? Painkillers? A patch? Supplements? Maybe a hot shower or some essential oils? These might work temporarily, but here's the truth: pain is often the last thing to show up in your body and the first thing to go away. If you’re using pain as the only signal that something's wrong, you might be missing the bigger picture.

I’m Dr. Anjali, founder of Back in Balance. I’m a non-cracking chiropractor and integrative functional nutrition specialist, and I’m passionate about helping people move well, eat well, and live well—whether you’re a working parent, a business leader, or navigating any phase of life. And today, I want to be clear about something: I won’t be your holistic bandaid.

What Does That Mean?

Too often, people come to holistic care hoping for a natural version of a quick fix. Something to cover the pain, ease the discomfort, and let them keep going. But true wellness doesn’t work like that.

When you experience a symptom like fatigue, headaches, digestive issues, or back pain, your body is trying to talk to you. The nervous system is constantly sending information between your body and brain. In fact, 80% of that communication travels from your body to your brain.

So when we pop a supplement or rub on a cream and ignore what our body is telling us, we’re putting a holistic bandaid on something that deserves real attention.

The 360° Approach

At Back in Balance, we take a 360° approach to health. That means addressing three types of stress:

  • Structural/physical (like posture or alignment)

  • Nutritional/chemical (including digestion and toxins)

  • Mental/emotional (your mindset and stress response)

These stressors are always interacting. If you get a headache, it could be from lack of sleep, dehydration, too much screen time, emotional overload, or even poor digestion. Or all of the above. That’s why real healing requires us to look at the full picture.

Why This Matters

I work with people every day who’ve spent years managing symptoms instead of getting to the root cause. It takes time, yes. But imagine:

  • Waking up with energy.

  • Digesting your meals with ease.

  • Enjoying your family without nagging back pain.

  • Feeling like your body is working with you, not against you.

That’s the power of a connected, regulated nervous system. And that’s the difference between maintenance care and constantly chasing pain.

A Real Life Example

One of my patients came in after dealing with chronic headaches and fatigue for years. She’d tried everything: meds, supplements, massage. But it wasn’t until we combined chiropractic care, nutrition, and nervous system support that she finally got real, lasting relief. Not just less pain—more life.

So, What Now?

If you're tired of patching symptoms and ready to explore what’s really going on in your body, I invite you to work with me. We’ll go deeper than the bandaid, and help you rebuild your foundation—step by step.

Whether you're dealing with pain, fatigue, stress, or just want to feel better in your body, I’m here to support your journey.

Don’t Settle For Temporary Relief

Let’s build long-term resilience instead.

stories

I brought my daughter when she was just 10 days old to see Dr. Agrawal for help with latching. My husband and I were at our wits end, so our doula suggested that we see Dr. Agrawal. Within hours it was like we had a new daughter.

KS

I came to see Dr. Anjali for some sudden, very intense back pain. My mother-in-law has been seeing Dr. Anjali for years and I finally got to experience the low force approach to chiropractic that my MIL has been raving about. I feel so much better, and I feel like there’s hope for me to live pain-free!

NL

I feel human again! I’m able to sleep much more deeply at night and I am forgetting that I had pain even one week ago.
