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.
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.
Dr. Anjali extends an abundance of gratitude to her family for steadfast support of Back in Balance Health. Their dedication fuels her passion for holistic wellness.
Have you ever woken up and realized you can’t turn your head? One moment, you're sleeping peacefully, and the next—every glance requires your whole body to move. It feels sudden, frustrating, and often a little alarming.
But here's the truth: neck pain rarely comes out of nowhere. I’m Dr. Anjali, non-cracking chiropractor, integrative functional nutrition specialist, and founder of Back and Balance and the Healthy Human Program. In this post, I’ll help you understand what your body is trying to tell you when pain seems to strike "out of the blue"—and what you can do to fix it, long term.
It may feel like the pain appeared overnight, but in reality, it’s often the result of cumulative microtrauma. These are small, repetitive stresses that build up in your body over time, often without you noticing—until your nervous system says, “Enough.”
Poor posture while using your phone or typing
Dehydration or poor water absorption
Inadequate protein or fat digestion
Chronic emotional or mental stress
Most people associate chiropractors with pain relief, particularly for back or neck issues. But true chiropractic care—especially when combined with integrative functional medicine—looks deeper.
Structural Stress (poor posture, lack of movement)
Chemical/Nutritional Stress (digestive issues, inflammation, dehydration)
Mental/Emotional Stress (work deadlines, parenting stress, anxiety)
“We are multifaceted beings, and we need multifaceted approaches to care.” – Dr. Anjali
This is why I developed a 360 approach to nervous system regulation—a holistic model that blends movement, nutrition, and mindset to restore full-body balance.
Your spine is more than bones—it’s the protective highway for your nervous system, which controls every organ and tissue in your body. Here’s something most people don’t know:
💡 80% of nervous system communication goes from body to brain. Only 20% goes from brain to body.
This means if your tissues, muscles, or organs are under stress, your brain knows it—and often, pain is the first signal that something is off.
Rest, stretching, or even a massage may bring temporary relief. But without addressing the root causes—poor absorption, poor posture, unprocessed stress—you’re just chasing symptoms.
Our work in the clinic involves:
Identifying where microtrauma is accumulating
Supporting digestion and nutrient absorption
Regulating the nervous system holistically
Empowering you with daily habits to sustain health
Ready to break the pain cycle? Here’s what you can do right now:
Evaluate your posture during screen time
Drink high-quality water with minerals for better absorption
Support digestion with targeted nutrition
Practice breathwork or mindfulness to reduce emotional tension
And for a deeper, guided experience...
We’re diving into everything covered here—and so much more—in our upcoming 360 Health Masterclass. You’ll learn:

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.

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!

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.
