Sunnyside Wellness & Chiropractic Center

After years of horrible back pain, countless chiropractor visits, and little to no lasting relief, I honestly started to believe this was just something I’d have to live with. Then I went to Sunnyside Chiropractor in Fresno—and everything changed. There was no adjustment at that first visit. Instead, the doctor carefully reviewed my X-rays and explained something no one had ever told me before: 👉 my right leg is shorter than my left, and that imbalance was causing the pain on my left side. He placed a ¼-inch heel insert in my right shoe and scheduled a follow-up appointment for the next week. The next day, my pain dropped from an 8 to a 2. At first, I thought, “This has to be in my head.” So I gave it a few days. Now I’m at my daughter’s house in Los Angeles, sleeping on a pull-out sofa—something that would normally guarantee the worst back pain imaginable when I wake up. But this time? Nothing. No pain. It’s honestly amazing how much better I feel—physically and mentally—from such a simple, precise correction. 🙏 Thank you, Sunnyside Chiropractor in Fresno Yes — what you’re describing makes perfect sense, and it actually explains why the results felt so real and not “in your head.” At Sunnyside Chiropractor, he didn’t just guess. What that machine was likely doing • It scanned your nervous system along the spine • The monitor showed areas where nerves were irritated, stressed, or misfiring • Those problem spots usually line up with chronic pain, muscle tension, and imbalance The popping sound you felt • That popping came from a precision adjusting instrument (not a manual crack) • It delivers a quick, targeted impulse to the exact nerve or joint involved • No twisting, no aggressive force — just signal correction Think of it like this: Your body wasn’t broken — it was out of alignment and miscommunicating. Between: • Correcting the leg length imbalance with the heel lift • And calming the overworked nerves with that instrument Your body finally got the message it needed to relax, rebalance, and heal. Why the relief feels so dramatic • Your spine stopped compensating • Muscles stopped pulling unevenly • Nerves stopped firing pain signals constantly • Your brain finally got a break That’s why: • Pain dropped from 8 → 2 • Sleeping on a pull-out couch didn’t wreck you • And your mental clarity improved too

I called to verify whether they were in-network with my insurance, and they said they were unable to check. Every other chiropractor I contacted was able to look this up immediately, so I was surprised they couldn’t. The staff member told me I would need to schedule an appointment, pay for the first visit, and then find out if they accept my insurance. That’s a very unprofessional way to handle insurance inquiries and not helpful for new patients.

I’ve been seeing Thomas M. Potiguan for 2 months and the difference in my pain and mobility has been amazing. They take the time to listen, explain each adjustment, and make sure I’m comfortable throughout the process. The office staff is friendly and professional, and I never feel rushed. My back and neck feel so much better, and I leave every visit feeling aligned and refreshed. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and skilled chiropractor.

This office doesn't take most private insurance so be aware of this. I called today and the secretary should have told me right of the bat that they don't take most insurances. I had my insurance call them to confirm because according to her, they don't have the time to be checking on insurances. I have the best government insurance out there and they are not a part of the network? How laim is that? Also this chiropractor here usually only takes clients that have been involved in a car or work accident. His first question is what happened and then he says "I could get you a good lawyer". To me this means $$$$ to maximize his profits. Also the more he sees you in the office (which he will based on other clients that I spoke to) the more lucrative for him. He will drag his feet to see you as much as he can so that he can make more $$$ to buy more Mercedes vehicles. Thanks but no thanks buddy. Most of the Fresno offices take my insurance so I will go elsewhere. I just wanted to give you the business for more Mercedes amigo and a new hairstyle for you! Cheers buddy!

I came in to find a chiropractor that is near my work and home. Impressed by Dr that educated me about chiropractic and assessment of my current posture. With just about a month of treatment. No more headaches when waking up the morning, which i thought caused by monthly periods. Overall a better quality in life. Who would have thought that sitting in the office for year can cause the uneven hip bones and crooked spine. Which can eventually end up with surgery. With a little but if education, awareness and treatment can avoid all that future major bone problems.
