Northrup Mark DC

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.

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!

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!

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

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.

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!

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!

I have to admit that I am a huuuuge skeptic of chiropracty. For a critique, see

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.
