I was experiencing hip pain/loss of mobility after an injury for years & thought it would never improve. After one appointment/explaining symptoms Dr. Julian was able to make some adjustments, give me exercises to work on & I walked out of the office feeling taller! A few weeks later I feel like I can return to the activities I once enjoyed, I'm so happy I made that appointment! read more

Absolute best in the business! I went from lower back pain not able to run much more than a mile to now having two marathons in the books. Now just go back a few times a year to keep everything in order read more

Dr. Julian is both professional and knowledgeable. He alleviated my severe neck pain in just one session--a condition that had persisted for months despite treatment from other providers, including urgent care and acupuncture. I also appreciate how he took the time to explain the anatomy of the body, detailing how bones, muscles, and tendons are interconnected and affect each other. He has become my go-to provider for any kind of pain. Thank you! read more

If you see a chiropractor it should be Julian!! He is so upbeat, knowledgeable, professional, always on time and my daughter and I feel so much better after every time we see him. He is the Best!! read more

It has been a rough 5 years for me. Ever since I was attacked in Golden Gate Park by a homeless drug addict...I have not been able to walk, drive, sleep, lift groceries, and do many of the things that we have taken for granted on a daily basis. I have been to hell and back. Workers comp refused to pay for any medical treatment and was willing to leave me permanently disabled. "Not medically necessary" is their favorite excuse. I refuse to accept that. Got myself on Medi-Cal & Medicare and started patching myself back together like humpty dumpty. I got myself a hand therapist for my hand tremors and a physical therapist for the rest. They tried their best and figured out that this was above their professional skill level. It was isolated down to the radius and ulnar nerve in the right arm and something was causing it to fire causing uncontrollable tremors in the arm and hand along with pain. My therapists suggested I find a chiropractor, but one who will adjust the first rib because they think it was broken and healed back wrong. I saw a few chiros and none of them cared when I stated that to them. Dr. J was different. Being an athletically built guy himself...he understood the nature of my injuries from my law enforcement work. I did not expect it to be fixed after just one visit, but it happened like that. Dr. J warned me that I may be sore afterward.....that was an understatement!!! Being out of place for 5 years.... hurts like #$%#.  I am amazed!! Dr. J gave me a list of areas on my back and arm and neck region for my Hand therapist and Physical Therapist to work on...and it turns out they were already working that region out for me. So once again Dr. J was spot on with the diagnosis!  I am so glad I found him! If you are in as much pain as I was- please don't hesitate to contact him so he can help you. It has been one long road for me....but eventually, I will get there. Knocked one problem off my long list...many more to go... My therapists say about 1.5 years to go for me....and I can't wait...being bedridden for almost 3 years gives one a whole new perspective on life. Enjoy life before we kick the bucket!!! aka Mike Lowrey read more

Best Sports Chiropractor in the Peninsula - Extremely knowledgeable and just an all around awesome doctor who cares about his patients. My to go Chiropractor when I need Gratson Therapy and / or an adjustment - Thank you Dr. Julian for all your help! read more

Dr Julian is a wonderful chiropractor. He was flexible with his hours so that he could see me right away and gave me excellent treatment, stretching etc. he followed up with me often to make sure I was feeling better and was not pushing me to come in for more appointments if I didn't feel I needed them. He also helped out with some advice for my dad. I'd highly recommend him and will be going back as my go-to chiropractor. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Julian Ovtcharov for over a year. He's in my top two chiropractors I've ever been to, and I've been seeing chiropractors for over 10 years on a very regular basis. Not only is he trained in manipulating your bones, but also soft tissue work. Both of those together are a dreamy combination for bodywork. He has the latest gadgets including a drop table, Graston tools for soft tissue, and a buzzing massage ball thing that's amazing. Today, I finally decided to write a well-deserved review after he helped me with an acute fiery pain in my ankle. My doctors at Kaiser just told me to rest it, ice it, etc. However, after two weeks of still being in pain, Dr. Julian was able to diagnose that it was a nerve issue and with a few pulls here and pushes there, the pain was gone. I swear Kaiser was gonna make me do an Xray then Physical Therapy and I'm sure I was gonna be in pain for weeks more. Thank you, Dr. Julian, for your genuine care about your patients! read more

I'm a semi-pro bodybuilder, so I experience all the usual aches and pains that come with the sport. After moving to the Bay Area about a year ago, I was looking for a chiropractor to assist with some back pain I experienced. Luckily, I stumbled across Julian's page, who stayed after hours to squeezed me in the same day...and he did this never even having met me. The next day, my back pain was gone! Long story short, I make it a point to see Julian every time I experience any issues. He's by far the best chiropractor I've ever been to. read more

I first met Dr. J at local gym through a mutual friend. Him and I had a conversation about my current injuries and different techniques that could be used to help in the healing process. Since I'm a bodybuilder, my body is in a constant state of repair, and injuries tend to linger for long periods of time. After my first visit and consultation with Dr. J, he showed me he had a deep understanding of what I needed to get done. His use of ART, Graston, and Rock Tape have helped my gym injuries heal; as the weeks progress I feel less and less pain. The cost of treatment, for someone like me with no medical insurance, is very reasonable. The amount of time he spends on my body is well worth the cost. read more

Dr. Julian is great! I went in to see him due to a sharp pain in the left side of my back. He is very knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable my first time at a Chiropractor's office. He explained to me what was happening in my body and, after re-aligning me, he gave me suggestions on what stretches and further procedures to do in order to get my back into better shape. Furthermore, I appreciated the follow-up text messages he sent my way in the following days to ensure I was feeling better! All-in-all, I will definitely return to Dr. Julian with any future Chiropractic needs. Thanks again, Dr. Julian! read more

I was having pretty bad pain in my hands for a couple of weeks. I thought it was from my attempts at playing violin and was discussing it at the winery where I work part time. Turns out, one of the wine club members is a chiropractor. He told me about some possible issues and gave me his card. I'd never been to a chiropractor before and wasn't sure what to expect, but I decided to give it a try, as sometimes the pain was more than I could handle. Since then, I've been to see Dr. J half a dozen times or so. Each visit led to more and more improvement, and I almost never have pain anymore. Dr. J is very good at explaining how the nerves, tendons, etc, work and the procedures he uses. He also taught me stretches to avoid pain in the future. So if you need help with aches and pains, don't hesitate to give him a call! read more

I had some issue with my left shoulder and some numbing on my finger. My coach Nico from Max muscle referred me to DOC, at first I was skeptical cuz all the chiropractor that I have met either cracks my neck and call it a day ... Boy I was wrong Doc was in constant communication with me from the day of my appt and even checked up on me a few hours after he fixed me up. I'm into body building and I was surprised that he was very knowledgable about it. After a few days a different part of my arm was acting up, so I texted him and less than a minute he responded to me !!!!! WOW !!!talking about on top of his game !!!! I will always go back to him and always recommend him to my friends and family if the time comes ... His very accommodating with my work schedule and response to text right away , who does this? Well the answer to that is DOC will response to you and will for sure be hands on and get to the source of your issues ... if I can come back and post 20 more times cuz he deserves 100 star on my book ... Keep it up and check him out you will not be disappointed ... read more

Dr. Julian is wonderful! I was suffering tremendous pain due to my tennis elbow but within a couple visits, Dr. Julian made a huge difference. I've commented on a couple occasions that it feels like magic after my visits! Dr. Julian is patient, reasonable, knowledgeable, personable, and responsive. I especially appreciate his comfort with modern methods of communications. I can text him when I have a few minutes in between meetings and I get a response very quickly - no back and forth needed on the phone.

Dr. Julian is outstanding!! I went to him when I could barely stand up from back pain. After my first visit I was finally able to walk normally without discomfort. After my second visit I was completely back to normal! I thought it would have taken weeks. I've been to other chiropractors before, but I've never felt more at ease during treatment. Dr. Julian is very thorough, knowledgeable, and has a great bed side manner. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of excellent chiropractic care. read more

Dr. Julian is an great chiropractor. He helped me through a very difficult bulged disc situation in my lower back while I was in the fire academy. He made sure that I was able to continue with all of the physical activities required to pass the academy. I haven't had any lower back pain since he treated me and I am very grateful for that. I have continued to see him for various other issues that have come up over the years. I appreciate that he is always friendly and truly cares about getting to the root of the problem and resolving it. read more

Great, young Chiropractor who knows what he's doing. Solved my back issue on the first appointment. No upselling or anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. Does a good job in assessing what's going on and then treating it. Also does a lot of Graston, ART and MRT. Works with a lot of athletes. Takes his time to explain and give recommendations. read more

I visited Dr. Julian after injuring my back and pulling several muscles that had never been pulled before. He was very careful while examining my back at first, making sure not to do too much. He adjusted my back over several sessions, and helped me with several crucial stretching exercises that helped heal my back over the course of a month and a half. He proved to be a very skilled Chiropractor, and I am very grateful for the work he did. I would recommend him to anyone, in fact I already have. Dr. Julian is a true professional and takes great care of his patients. read more

I have been going to Dr. Julian for about 6 years. Every year and a half to two years, I will get out of adjustment and have bad back or shoulder pain. He is able to see what is wrong and make an adjustment and work on the knotted up muscles. In a couple of days after, I feel good as new again. He really knows anatomy and what causes things to cause pain. He also is good about showing me different kinds of stretches to help keep the pain down as I am recovering. He is definitely a life saver when I need to see a chiropractor. He also accepted my insurance, and I only have to pay a reasonable co-pay, but I would pay any price if I had to! read more

Julian is the best chiropractor and I've been to plenty in the past 20 years.. Back pain is a pain and finding a good Chiro that you can trust to honestly care for you is challenging. I discovered Julian from my personal trainer who was very impressed with his care for another client. I was very skeptical because I was being treated by another Chiro & didn't feel this guy was really looking out for my interest, just my wallet. Anyway, I made an appointment with Julian and he's been my guy ever since. That was almost two years ago & I see Julian when I need to. He's gentle & really thorough at every visit. He doesn't pressure me to make appointments, which is refreshing & makes me trust him more. Julian offers good advice & gives recommendations! Go see him if you have back pain. read more

I am so happy I found Dr. Julian. I am currently 20 weeks pregnant and he has been amazing helping me survive this pregnancy. As my body changes, Dr. Julian is able to keep up with my back and neck pains and relieve them immediately. I see him every 2 weeks and will continue to do so after I have my baby. I highly recommend Dr. Julian! read more

Dr Julian is awesome.. He's very nice and he definitely knows what he's talking about... I was suffering from sciatica nerve pain for 3 months and after just a few sessions I already notice a huge improvement! He even sends a call or text after your appointments to see how you're doing... very pleased read more

Dr. Julian gives top notch care. In April I was dealing with some sports related back pain. Dr. Julian set me up with an appointment over the phone right away and I was in his office in no time. I recommend Dr. Julian to anyone who needs neck or back chiropractic care. He has been seeing me for six months now, and the results have been fantastic. He has kept me on track for good spine care, with gentle and accurate adjustments. read more

Dr. Julian is amazing! He is very attentive and focused on your care, both short term and long term. I asked him a lot of questions about my body and how to care for it and he was happy to show me exercises I can do at home. I can always reach him and he responds to my messages or voicemails within the day. He always lets me know when he'll be out of town and who he has as a back-up, so I never have to worry about tracking him down or finding a back-up chiropractor. I trust him with my chiropractic health. We are always on the same page! Thank you Dr. Julian! read more

Dr Julian is wonderful! I've been to other chiropractors that seem to rush through your visit and simply do a quick adjustment; but at each visit with Dr Julian he covers every area from my ankles to my neck. After a complete adjustment he will do soft tissue work known as ART and will also use Graston and Rocktape as needed. He has so much knowledge and tools at his hands and I always leave feeling amazing! read more

Dr Julian is great. Chiropractic practice is a combination of Science and Art and he has a great sense of it....very skilled and experienced. I strongly recommend fellow "poor posture" human beings to try him out. read more

Yep, that is Dr J....as good as it gets. He is an attentive listener, knows a great deal about his profession (went to the ortho surgeon after him and he said the same thing as Dr J). He is careful, honest and also emails and calls to check up on his clients. He will send exercises via email and truly cares about them. I wish all Dr's were like him. Don't hesitate to make an appt, even if you have to drive a bit farther to see him. He is the "Best in the West"! read more

Having chronic back issues for years and having bad experiences in the past, I am always hesitant when trying a new chiropractor. Being that Dr. Julian came highly recommended I decided to give him and try, I am very glad that I did. He was very gentle with me and was proactive about making sure I wasn't in any pain. He is very detailed and it is easy to see that he genuinely cares about your health and does not rush you in and out. I was also very appreciative that he took the time to modify everything to make sure we didn't exasperate any of my symptoms. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family. read more

Dr. Julian truly is great. I have had various back injuries and have been coming to him for some time now. He always asks questions and ensures that by the end of my visit all my concerns have been addressed. I am truly pleased with his work and always leave the office feeling like new. I'd highly recommend him to others. read more

I started seeing Dr. Julian for a pretty bad case of "unable to move my right (dominant hand) thumb without sharp, searing pain." He was not only able to get my hand moving again, but he was also able to improve some of my neck/back issues I've had for several years. He actually cares about his patients, he's always accessible by email or text, and his rates are the most reasonable I've ever encountered. I definitely recommend Dr. Julian to anyone who's currently suffering from an injury, or anyone who wants to take preventative measures against office-related back strain. read more

I went to Dr Julian a couple weeks back after suffering from a shoulder injury for several years. After one treatment my shoulder pain had almost completely gone away and I was back to working out without and and with great mobility almost immediately after. I have got to dr Julian a couple times since my first appointment and my shoulder continues to respond well to treatment. I recommend dr Julian to anyone who is experience any sort of sports related injury that has been suffering through pain. read more

Dr Julian has helped me many times and I will continue to see him. I went in for help with my foot problems and he worked on all my other issues (back, neck) as well. He has a really nice friendly attitude and explains everything he is about to do and how it will help. Has an easy booking on line system and has fit me in at the last minute due to my work schedule. Thank you Dr Julian! read more

I first went to see Dr. Julian because I was having continued pain in my knee a year after having meniscus surgery. There were days that the pain was so intense, I wasn't sure how I was going to get through my workday. Dr. Julian has been a lifesaver. Today was my fourth visit and I am walking pain-free for the first time in a long time. He is very professional and thorough and takes the time to answer all of my questions. I have never feel rushed. He has also been a great source of knowledge in assisting me to improve my nutritional health. I feel very fortunate to have found Dr. Julian (actually my girlfriend found him for me.... Thanks honey!!) I would highly recommend his services. read more

Dr. Julian is friendly, generous with his time, and combines a great proficiency with the more well-known spinal adjustment therapy and in-depth knowledge of muscle work like active release technique. I'm a software engineer who's trying to mitigate the damage from years of sitting in a chair staring at a monitor, and Dr. Julian is one of the best chiropractors I've seen. read more

Dr. Julian is fantastic! My 9 to 5 desk job took a toll on my neck, shoulders and back. He gave great tips to help me on a daily basis at work. I asked a ton of questions and he kindly gave helpful advice. The physical adjustment was so helpful and he walked me through the whole process. Dr. Julian also took the time to follow up to check in. He's awesome and I highly recommend him! read more
