Dr. Neal Barry

Dr. Neal Barry is living out his dream of being a doctor of chiropractic and considers himself very lucky to have discovered Santa Barbara after spending the first 22 years of his life in the Northeast.  

Dr. Barry made his way out to California to attend chiropractic college at Palmer College of Chiropractic West in San Jose, after graduating from Providence College in Providence, R.I with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology.

Dr. Barry prides himself, and his practice, on taking the time to listen to each patient and develop a treatment plan that is specific to that person, and to that person's condition(s).   The individual attention that you will receive at Barry Family Chiropractic will be unlike any that you may have experienced in previous doctor's offices.

Dr. Barry has chosen to extensively study and continuously research the conditions that affect athletes, and specifically endurance athletes.   After running 3 marathons (and a few half marathons), Dr. Barry personally understands many of the situations that arise when stressing the body for extended periods of time.

Dr. Barry's specialties are sports related injuries, golf-specific injuries, chronic conditions, pain management, extremity adjusting, and ergonomic counseling.  

We appreciate your confidence in entrusting us with your health and pledge to work diligently to create the highest level of gentle, compassionate chiropractic care.
