About
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.”

Functional Medicine for Eczema: My Experience & How It Can Help
Functional Medicine for Eczema: My Experience & How It Can Help
Let's talk about how I even entered this world of functional medicine to begin with. I have dealt with eczema for as long as I can remember. The itching, scratching, and discomfort were constant companions throughout my life. One vivid memory is from second grade when I had chicken pox and couldn't resist the urge to scratch everywhere.
Despite my mom's pleas to stop itching, I couldn't help myself. I’m not sure whether my eczema became noticeable before or after chicken pox. Still, there were numerous times when I had really itchy patches, particularly in the creases of my elbows and behind my knees. Nothing could deter me from scratching, not even the warnings about potential skin damage and scarring.
Seeking Solutions
When I was about 14 or 15, I sought help from a few different practitioners. The universal response was to apply cortisone cream, which didn't sit well with me. The idea of putting a steroid on my body every day for the rest of my life wasn't something I could accept. I wanted more than just a quick fix; I craved an understanding of why I was experiencing eczema and what else I could do about it.
Discovering Functional Medicine
I went through high school, undergraduate studies, and chiropractic school, where I was also introduced to nutrition. Despite my interest, I focused on pediatric and prenatal care during chiropractic school. After graduation, while looking for my first job, I found an associate position in what would eventually become my own office. The chiropractor I worked with practiced functional medicine and nutrition, which gave me firsthand exposure to its clinical application.
My Health Journey
My colleague and I discussed my own health issues, including eczema and sugar cravings. We delved into digestion, health, nutrition, absorption, and evaluated my body's condition. Despite my skepticism, I followed her recommendations for food modifications and supplements. To my surprise, within a week, my sugar cravings significantly decreased, and within a month, the itching reduced, and my skin began to improve.
The Power of Functional Medicine
This personal experience was transformative. I witnessed the power of functional medicine firsthand—how modifying my diet and taking tailored supplements could address seemingly long-standing health issues. As I transitioned to take over the practice, I stepped into the realm of functional medicine to help others with similar issues.
Working with both the functional and structural aspects of the body made a significant difference. Combining spinal alignment with functional healthcare allowed my body to start healing. It's incredibly rewarding to help others, especially those suffering from conditions like eczema, which I had experienced for so long.

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!

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.
