meet the team responsible for nystrom chiropractic

Dr. Rebeccca Nystrom, D.C.

Growing up in a small town in Wyoming, Dr. Nystrom recognized at an early age the deep connection between spirit and healing and chose to make that the focus of her life’s work. A practitioner and teacher of Chiropractic for over 25 years, her specialized practice is grounded in those early experiences and harmonizes her philosophies on the natural healing ability of the body achieved through proper spinal care. Guided by an inspired and practiced hand, Dr. Nystrom’s patients have experienced extraordinary healing. Through millions of adjustments across four successful practices and numerous international missions, Dr. Nystrom has helped thousands of patients and students worldwide achieve vitality through healing. She currently directs and practices in the Nystrom Chiropractic Clinic in San Rafael, California.

Dr. Amy Lee, D.C.

Dr. Lee’s early interest in health and wellness landed her on the path to medical school and in preparation, she completed the premed requirement courses in graduating with a degree in Biology. In her final year of study, nagging health problems never fully addressed through conventional medicine, led her to a chance meeting with a chiropractor who suggested she explore chiropractic. Through chiropractic care, she experienced a transformational healing that she knew through her understanding of human biology, was the direct result of her healthier nervous system. It was this life-changing experience that turned her away from the path of medical school and on to the road to chiropractic. This choice has made all the difference. In addition to athletes and children, Dr. Lee’s practice includes a special concentration on pregnancy and she is certified in the Webster In-utero constraint technique helping many breech babies reorient. Her goal is to encourage and inspire individuals toward optimal health – to take an active approach to their health knowing that wellness is alive within each of us. Dr. Lee holds a B.S. in Biology from the University of California at Berkeley and a D.C. from Life Chiropractic College West.

Dr. Jenny Burns, D.C.

Born and raised in Germany and Japan, Jenny was exposed at an early age to the diversity of perspectives on health, nutrition, and spirituality. An interest in discovering the connections between these varied perspectives led her to college to pursue a degree in Biology along with a yoga practice to further her fascination of the power and connection between the body-mind and health and vitality. Following her undergraduate education, Jenny decided that chiropractic school was the best application of her education, experience and desire to facilitate the wellness of others. Understanding and applying the energetic and structural forms and techniques of chiropractic to support wellness, Jenny has witnessed miracles in the body’s ability to heal through chiropractic. Jenny holds a B.S. in Biology from the University of Colorado at Boulder and a D.C. from Life Chiropractic College West.

Matt Egan

Matt was extremely adventurous and active from an early age playing multiple sports - soccer, swimming, basketball, and baseball. At 13, he sustained a shoulder injury while pitching during a baseball game and it continued to get worse. The pain started in his right shoulder, moved to his left shoulder and before long he wasn’t able to move his upper body. Unaware of what Chiropractic could do for him at that time, he was prescribed pain medication and was told to do strenuous physical therapy. The therapy was painful and was only moderately successful and his doctors were soon suggesting surgery. After a year of seeing medical specialists and just before ending up on the surgical table, he decided to give Chiropractic a try. Not only did chiropractic ultimately help him with his pain, he chose to pursue the field professionally to dedicate himself to helping others in the same way that he was helped. Matt is honored and humbled to be a part of the incredible team at Nystrom Chiropractic and knows that his patients will be his greatest teachers. Matt completed his undergraduate degree in Biology at the College of Marin and holds a D.C. from Life Chiropractic College West.

Because of Veronica’s leadership and dedication to running a tight ship, Nystrom Chiropractic is a place where healing takes center stage. “I love my job because it’s a place where I can be a part of the everyday healing and miracles we experience.  The atmosphere is so fun and light, our walls are all different colors, we have different music playing everyday, and our doctors are all so much fun to be around.  We have a variety of patients: athletes, businesspeople, families, and best of all children. The kids bring so much laughter, joy and the inspiration to be carefree!  I love my job because it’s really not a job, it’s a place where I can come and do what I am most passionate about and that’s helping people heal.”
