We can't thank this man enough! We are here on vacation, it's a holiday weekend, and my husband threw his back out taking off his sock to go walk in the ocean. Dr. Northrop opened his office for us two hours after calling him and helped get my husband some much needed relief. He massaged, manipulated, and worked hubby's back for 45 min and he was able to walk out upright. Very cool guy too!! Great stories and gave great advice on how to treat our backs better. The office was clean and had a great sitting area for me. The chair was so comfy I nearly fell asleep. Thank you Dr. Mark!!! read more

I saw my first chiropractor 20+ years ago after a wrestling injury. Since then, I've seen numerous chiropractors in several different cities. My chiropractor scale is as follows... avoid like the plague, bad, meh, decent, solidly good, & damn near magical. Most chiropractors rank in bad to meh categories, and offer superficial adjustments after getting through their overpriced paywall of useless assessments and needless x-rays etc. Many of these also reek of somewhere between used car salesperson and cult leader (and if you've seen a few chiropractors, you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about). Enter Dr. Mark Northrup, who easily stands in the "damn near magical" category. Chiropractors of this caliber not only offer skillful adjustments, but directly target the root cause of your injury/misalignment + teach you methods to address the problem at home and to prevent it from returning. What makes Dr. Mark stand out even among top providers is his genuine and caring demeanor, completeness of his treatments (which always include stretching + soft tissue work), his ability to articulate what's gone wrong + how to fix it, his lived experience as an lifetime athlete, reasonable pricing, plus being someone I can trust to treat both my buddies along with family members like my aunt and pregnant sister. Highly recommend and an easy five out of five stars. read more

Dr. Mark is truly one of a kind. He is a master of his craft and consistently displays such deep knowledge of the human body. I am a high level powerlifter who cares deeply about both quality care as well as education on how to best care for my body. His calming presence makes every appointment SO enjoyable. If I could give 10 stars, I would. read more

I visited Dr. Mark years ago and was always impressed at his manner, his knowledge and the fact that I always walked out feeling better. It's been a long time and I was just thinking about Dr. Mark, so I'm going to see him on Monday. Looking forward to it. read more

When it comes to the care of my own body, I look for professionals who have the credentials, genuine compassion for their patients, and experience with loyal return customers. Dr. Mark Northrup's three-decade dedication to chiropractic care in Pacific Beach shines through for me in the genuine care he has for his patients. Almost all of his patients have found Dr. Mark through word of mouth based on good experiences they have had with him and they return for his services for years and years. I personally always leave his office feeling better than I did when I walked in. If you're seeking a chiropractor with a proven track record and a heart for patient well-being, Dr. Northrup is the best choice. read more

Called in to book a session and was put off by how uninterested and rude Mark was on the phone but I really needed some relief. He spent no more than 5 minutes assessing my situation and left me feeling in much more pain than I arrived with. If I could give 0 stars I would. I have been doing extreme sports my entire life and I know pain, avoid at all costs. read more

Dr. Mark is the best for chiro and bodywork, excellent value, will get you out of pain for sure.

We found Dr Mark through Yelp, and we are glad we did! My wife and I both visited him, and we are both delighted with the adjustments. He's a cool guy to talk with, even on matters non-chiropractic. We had plenty of questions on what he was doing, and he was happy to show us. For example, what was the purpose of the wedges under the pelvis that weren't symmetrically aligned? The answer: because the pelvis isn't symmetrically aligned on its own, and the wedges align it. He explained, and he showed us how he did it. Very helpful! Dr Mark is pretty cool. He might have his dogs in the office, and he might work barefoot. If you're a pretty cool client, you'll do fine. It's Pacific Beach...relax! His office is on Mission Boulevard, and there's client parking behind his building (very helpful on sunny beach days). We went to visit because our vacation house had a super squishy foam mattress and flimsy pillows, and we were sore all day. Thanks to Dr Mark, we were quickly up and about and splashing in the waves without any problems! read more

Worth every penny! Have had maaaaany adjustments in my lifetime, he is seriously the best!

so incredibly happy I chose this place! my chiropractor, Mark, was very knowledgeable and knew exactly what i needed my hips and lower back have been super out of alignment for awhile and he knew how to alleviate the pain in that area fairly quickly. highly recommend. read more

I will never go anywhere else. Mark has my business for life. Never have I had such an amazing experience. Not only was he friendly and made me feel extremely comfortable he took his time and answered any questions I had and was extremely thorough. After one session with Mark I immediately noticed a huge difference. Also, one session from him felt like ten sessions at my other chiropractor. I can't say enough amazing things about him and his business. THANK YOU MARK!!!! read more

I have been in so much pain and feeling so bad for the past week that I thought I was going to have to have surgery, my lower back was absolutely killing me. I Have been living on pain relievers and haven't slept through a night in at least a week. I finally went on Yelp, and found Dr. Northrup. I called him this morning and he got me in tonight. He massaged with hands and a machine and made adjustments, and I can't start to tell you the cracks that came out of my body. But I walked out of there and tonight I am free of pain. I wish I could give him 10 Stars. Also, the charge for his office visit was More than reasonable. read more

I've seen several chiropractors in my life and I'm always leery to find a new one since I've had double fusions in my lower back. Dr. Mark was recommended by my former boss, so I made an appointment. Hands down, Dr. Mark is the best chiropractor I've ever seen. Most chiros take you in, crack you, and 5 minutes later, you're done. I always spend at least 45 minutes here, as he stretches your muscles and give you a massage before and during the adjustment. He's very pleasant to chat with, as well. I highly recommend Dr. Mark if you're in the market for a chiropractor! read more

I have to admit that I am a huuuuge skeptic of chiropracty. For a critique, see http://www.quackwatch.com/04ConsumerEducation/BookContents/cv.html. But when my lower back is screaming in pain, I go to a chiropractor that someone has recently recommended, not heeding the warnings from my medically trained friends. The outcome is that after multiple visits my pain is only marginally improved and that I usually end up irritated at the chiropractor over something completely nonsensical that s/he has said. Anyway, I had occasion to visit "Dr. Mark" recently, and my overall annoyance with chiropractors was greatly diminished. He did a great job explaining my problem and his therapy took the form of some adjustments and an extremely competent 25-minute massage. He asked me if I would like to return, instead of insisting that I need to return regularly many times to cure my problem. He suggested that inflammation in my something-or-other joint was the cause of my pain, and that regular, deep icing would alleviate my misery. He sent me off with some ice packs, and a better outlook on chiropractors. read more

I have been to many other chiropractors in the past and Dr. Mark is definitely in a different league. Like the previous reviewer mentioned, I was a hardened skeptic of Chiropractics and their "just 7 more sessions until you are poor and pain free" but Dr. Mark turned that upside down. I have been to him 3 times and on each occasion he fixes me up, gives me a good firm massage and sends me on my way... leaving it up to me to come back to see him. I highly recommend! read more

I have tired several Chiropractors over the years to relieve some shoulder and back pain. Every time I walked away feeling like my they were doing absolutely everything to maximize the payment from my insurance without providing really good care or that there was so much "wrong" with me I would need to be in that office 4 times per week and give up my first born or a kidney payment. haha After changing careers where my profession was a bit more physically demanding I was to the point were I couldn't just ignore the burning sensation and pain. Lucky for me my friend Anne referred me to Dr. Mark. Woohoo we now have a regular Chiropractor! Dr. Mark is amazing! He is so down to earth, friendly, knowledgeable and his technique is the best! He does a lot of deep pressure point massage with stretches before he ever makes an adjustment. His office is in a cute little holistic health center in P.B. and most of the time he has his sweet little "therapy" doggies there to welcome you. No heavy sales pressure to come back for certain number of visits, no BS x-rays, no insurance stuff to deal with and scheduling with him is a breeze (I send a text he gets back to me almost immediately) . Dr. Marks practice is just what I need, very reasonably priced, warm casual environment with an amazingly talented and cool Dr! Thank You Dr. Mark! read more

Dr Mark is the man. First off he is calm and seems to be at total peace with life. In addition, he wears 16 hole combat boots in his office. Obviously he's ready to do battle with your back problems. This guy is legit. He seems to care about his patients first and his business second. My guess is he did not add his business on here. I bet a patient did. Futhermore, he can fix a neck in a single visit. I've only been to him twice and each time he relieves the pain. He's never pushed me to come back in a week or month. If only the newer, business minded table Jockies would run there businesses in a similar fashion. Brandon read more

I can echo the comments of the others ... only I've been going to Dr. Mark for almost 20 years! His rates are extremely reasonable, he personally gives you a thorough massage before he adjusts you, making the adjustment easier because you're relaxed. And one adjustment usually alleviates my problem (whether it's a stiff neck, a pinched nerve, or TMJ). And I greatly appreciate his not running a chiropractic "mill," like others I've seen, who are trying to schedule your next visit before they've even begun the current one. Dr. Mark always finishes with "You'll call me when you need me." I would recommend his relaxed style and excellent work to anyone. read more

I was very nervous bc I had never been to a chiropractor. This was a great experience. He has helped me heal. I been back twice. Highly recommend him. read more

I was referred to Dr. Northrup through an acquaintance and I'm glad I paid him a visit. He was very thorough with taking my medical history and what brought me in to see him. What I appreciated the most is that he didn't just start cracking my back. He actually took his time and worked on the muscles, tendons, etc. to loosen up the areas that were giving me problems. He then followed through with the adjustments. The visit definitely helped and I will definitely be returning in the future. If you have ever been curious, skeptical, or apprehensive about meeting with a chiropractor, give yourself a gift and visit Dr. Northrup. I wish him success. J.T. read more

Dr Mark Northrupp is the man with the healing hands. He loves what he does, really cares and appears to be divinely guided. I trust him wholeheartedly. I have referred several people to him and all have called me back to thank me. So happy that he's right here in my hometown and love that he is willing to coming in at any and all hours if you have a real emergency. Highly recommend Dr Mark ! read more

I've seen Dr. Mark every 2-4 weeks for 4 years for chronic pain and stiffness from fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis. For an incredible low price i get up to 30 minutes of deep massage (with clothes on), stretching and then adjusted from head to toe. If you have special requests, just ask! Like wanting an ankle or elbow adjusted because you were playing too hard or whatever. If i had to pay the $75-100 for massages these days, plus the normal cost of chiropractic on top of all i spend on great food and supplements, i'd never be able to get this many treatments on a regular basis. Mark is unconventional and has a simple, down to earth philosophy and office space, and makes you feel like an old friend when you arrive. And if you want a hug when you leave you'll get one. He's always fun to talk with too, and just tell him if you want the music off or windows shut- he's very accommodating and aims to please, which he does! He also has many late time slots for your convenience. read more

Dr. Mark listens then uses massage and gentle manipulation to make you feel good again. After using him for many years I can highly recommend him as a gentle, kind, and caring Chiro in PB. It really doesn't get much better than that! read more

No pushy sales. You get a great deep tissue massage along with an adjustment & Great price. Best Chiro in SD.

Super interesting guy to chat with and on top of that very thorough in his work. He explained very clearly what was going on, spent a good amount of time working out the affected areas, and giving suggestions for maintaining progress. Felt super loose and relaxed after our session. read more

Dr. Mark knows how to loosen the mussels that are pulling the joints out of alignment and then readjust your spine to relieve your pain. He is the best I have found. I have recommended him to quite a few people. read more

This man is a true healer. I saw him years ago for a herniated disk. He and my massage therapist kept me free of surgery and brought me to a full recovery. I was recently injured in a car accident and needed to see him again. What a difference!!! I can look over my shoulder to change lanes after the first visit...increased range of motion, less pain...I left the office so pleased. His relaxed, easy going personality create an atmosphere of instant trust and comfort. I tried another chiropractor closer to home in RB, but never again. He is completely worth the drive -even if it were peak traffic time. Reasonably priced, courteous and professional. Amazing!!! read more
