Chris is the best! There really isn't anything he can't fix. Over the past 8 years, he's helped with my ankle injury from competitive gymnastic, neck and low back pain sitting in lectures during grad school, and even wrist pain from repetitive overuse. Most of all, you can feel how much he cares about his patients! I would 100% recommend Chris to all my friends and family, and now you! read more

Dr Baker is awesome. Our family has been seeing Dr Baker for close to 10 yrs now and appreciate his practice of blending chiropractic with physical therapy. He has helped us recover from injuries more quickly, as well as develop better habits relative to functional mobilty & wellness. His mobile clinic is fabulous & makes our lives so much easier. read more

Chris is hands down one of the best chiropractors I've ever been to. He's super knowledgeable and such a maverick with his craft. He's always spot on with education and you can tell he keeps up with sports and biomechanics. His passion for healthcare is obvious and I'm a better pickleball and tennis player after working with him. read more

Chris Baker is one of the best sports chiropractors I have ever been around. The knowledge, care, and ability to actually create change with a client is second to none. I specifically went to Chris to help improve movement patterns and certain issues I had due to crazy amount of hours on court as a pickleball professional. Being a tennis and pickleball player himself, Chris knew exactly what I needed. If you want to feel and perform better, go to Chris Baker. You will not be disappointed! read more

The most knowledgeable person I've ever met when it comes to physical care/health. Chris helped me recover and identify ways to manage physical stress so I could accomplish my first marathon. 10/10 - would recommend to anyone. Thanks Chris! read more

I used to struggle with back and shoulder pain especially after long days at my computer. Traveling to an office took extra time out of my busy schedule. Now Dr. Baker comes to you. From the very first appointment, I was impressed. Dr. Baker was professional, friendly, and took the time to understand my specific needs and pain points. The convenience of having the appointment at home was amazing - no more traffic or waiting areas. The adjustments themselves were gentle and effective. I felt immediate relief after the first session, and with continued care, my back and shoulder pain has become minimal. I can finally move freely and comfortably again! Here's what I loved most: Convenience: No more fighting traffic or fitting appointments into my busy schedule. Personalized care: Dr. Baker listens to my concerns and tailors the treatment to my specific needs. Effective adjustments: I felt a noticeable difference in my pain levels after the first session. Professional and friendly demeanor: Dr. Baker is a pleasure to work with. If you're looking for a convenient and effective way to manage your back pain, I highly recommend Chiro Nucleus! read more

I've been cared for by Chris for over 5 years now. I don't need to see him all the time- because he corrects me in a way that doesn't make me have to "need" him. But when I'm out of alignment, he knows how to fix it AND has a wealth of knowledge on exercises to keep things aligned afterwards. I'm a big fan of Chris and you should let him work his magic on you too! read more

Dr. Baker is the greatest at what he does! He is different, he isn't just here to adjust you and tell you that you need to be treated multiple times a month. He focuses on preventing pain not just treating your ailments. I work at a desk and he is always helping me find ways to stretch during the day so that I can go pain free in between appointments. He is also very personable and I always feel like one of my friends is coming over to adjust me. Once Chiro Nucleus started and he started doing house calls our relationship grew even more. It went from a 30 min office visit to him meeting the whole fam and building relationships with them as well. I'm a very happy long time customer and hope to continue the relationship for years to come! read more

Thank you Dr. Chris Baker for helping me stay fresh on the courts while competing at World Pickleball Tour tournament on 5/17 & 5/18 at The HUB Silicon Valley Pickleball Club! Even a 10-15 mins treatment session with him made an immediate physical difference in how my body moved and felt refreshed! Love Chiro Nucleus philosophy and approach to helping individuals be proactive and preventative with injuries. Dr. Baker is professional, has a wealth of knowledge, and is passionate about what he does! I highly recommend him! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Baker. He's been a true partner in wellness for my family. We love his blended approach to treatment that combines chiropractic with elements of physical therapy for a preventive approach that focuses on overall mobility and strength. Additionally, his mobile practice is super convenient! As someone working from home, this mobile setup is ideal. He brings his table, quickly sets up in my family room, and the adjustments take place in the comfort of my own home. We originally started working with Dr. Baker at his old office location and now enjoy the convenience of his mobile practice even more. read more

I strongly recommend Dr Chris Baker. He was recommended to me by a couple of friends he has really helped. I have found him tremendously helpful and also very pleasant After carefully examining me, he has used a combination of cupping and adjustments, which have helped my pain and discomfort. He has also helped me by showing me how to adopt a better posture when sitting, standing, walking, to help address upper back pain, and has shown me how to roll under my feet with a lacrosse ball His goal is to help me to return to my usual activities as soon as possible, pain-free. Also to teach me approaches to use moving forwards to be self-maintaining read more

I cannot give Chris enough credit for fixing my neck. I came in to see him on a Thursday after pulling my neck muscle the Saturday before. I was in so much pain from pulling it and was unable to even turn my head. After a cupping treatment, and some adjustment I left with a bit more mobility and then the next day I felt 100% better. Chris was super professional and knowledgable and seriously saved me. I credit him to getting back in action way faster than if I had just stretched at home or gotten a massage. After one more visit I feel like old scar tissue is starting to break up. Will definitely be continuing care to resolve old injuries and get in better alignment. Thanks Chris! read more

First Session for my daughters recovery . Dr Baker made our visit pleasant and very informative. Look forward to continued therapy and care with him . Highly recommend read more

I have been seeing Dr. Baker for almost 3 years and have been getting excellent care from him and the front staff Tawni. I had been in a car accident many years prior and had struggled with headaches and muscle spasms. My first visit I was hooked by getting cupping done. I had only seen it and didn't know much about what it can do for me. Dr. Baker educated me on the benefits and how it could help and it definitely did. My muscles felt better, I had more clarity and had less problems with my muscles. My daughter does cheerleading and she also sees Dr. Baker as her back muscles get tense. He has worked on her back, wrists and ankles and helps keep her body healthy after her practices or competitions. I would recommend to see Dr. Baker if you are having any neck or back pain and he will patiently listen to you and discuss a plan that will make you feel better. read more

MIRACLE WORKERS! When I say that I truly mean it. I had suffered severe neck pain for years. I went to specialists of all kinds. After moving to the area I was in need of a new chiropractor and stumbled upon Dr. Chris. Let me just say, wow. After seeing him for a few short months, I can honestly say that I am pain free. I got hurt in 2009 and did not find relief until 2014. He taught me exercises, made adjustments and it turned out that he's funny and friendly and I really enjoyed getting to see him every week. There's nothing worse than a nagging pain that won't go away. If this is you, give these guys a call. It was one if the best things I did for my body. read more

Here's what I like - Dr. Chris Baker got me back on my feet in no time after I majorly tweaked by back. After two visits, I went from being laid out on my kitchen floor with back pain to walking 10 miles a day for 8 days on a family trip. Here's what I really like - From the first visit, Dr. Baker's goal has been to see me as little as possible. Each session, he spends time teaching me skills specific to my lifestyle that will help prevent me from having to see him. By following is advice, I've eliminated the original pain that caused my visit, gained significant range of motion in my back and neck, and have gone from tensions headaches being an accepted part of my daily life to having zero in the last few months. I recommend Dr. Baker. (Also posted on Premiere Spine and Sport) read more

As a professional poker player, I spend far too much time sitting in mediocre chairs throughout the duration of the day. The physical toll it has on my already bad back has always pushed me to my pain limits, and while playing poker, I would have to get a massage nearly every single day. As a professional Magic player, I always wished that option would be available to me. Sitting around playing card games with poor posture is already physically tolling without even factoring in the mental stress and fatigue it can have on the body. I have used Dr. Chris Baker's services during tournaments as a way to get me through these challenging days. His expert knowledge and service has been instrumental in feeling my best. I strongly recommend Chris Baker to everyone. read more

Dr. Chris Baker is fantastic! He really understands my issues as a tennis player. He not only addresses my most painful problems, he also looks for potential trouble spots so that they don't become major. I highly recommend him. read more

Dr Baker is great. He is very personable and takes the time to work with you on your physical issues. The staff at Premier are very helpful. Great customer service. Tawni at the front desk is the best. read more

I was referred to Dr. Baker from my fitness trainer when I started suffering from tendonitis and poor mobility. At first I didn't think he would be able to do much to help me as nobody before him had been able to. I was shocked to find out that he could. His techniques for breaking up scar tissue in muscles are unlike any other doctor or therapist I had ever been to before, and although sometimes uncomfortable, they do work. Additionally, he has helped me by providing me with various exercise routines to warm up and loosen the muscles prior to vigorous activities which actually increases my mobility. I have nothing but great things to say about him and his practice. read more

I just want to start by saying Chris is one of the most personable chiropractors I have met. Most chiropractors want to get you started on a expensive and "necessary " treatment plan. Dr.Baker is very knowledgeable about the anatomy and lifestyle that the human body can endure through injury, stress , and lifestyle . He is a empathetic doctor who truly wants to make a difference in his patients life. I been to chiropractors across the Bay Area and have found a lot of them to be outdated with the way they practice. Dr. Baker is a intelligent doctor who knows that the body healing journey is interconnected with spirituality,nutrition,and mental health. I was fortunate enough to find Chris before the year was over . I'm confident I'll be able to get my mind and body back on track! read more

Chris has his own clinic and also work part-time at Facebook. I exclusively see Chris when he works at Facebook even though there are half a dozen other chiropractors I can choose from. That speaks volume on how skill and awesome he is. He doesn't just adjust but does muscle work to soften up your tissues before he adjusts which makes the world of a difference. Bottom line is, go to him! He's the best in the business. read more

Chris has helped Nicole with the pain in her back, neck and shoulder. If you need a good chiropractor I stongly recommend Chris Baker at premiere spine and sport. read more

Dr. Chris Baker saved my arm. I came to him with severe tennis elbow and he was the only one that sent me to have an MRI done because he figured out that the damage to my arm was fare grater that other doctors thought. Also when my daughter, competitive tennis player, had a partial tendon tear on tear on her pinkie he worked with her soft tissue and did laser therapy and she was back to 100% in no time. Every time she has a problem from playing a lot of tennis and need a little fix, we come to dr. Chris and she is like new. He also educates us on how to keep healthy and gives us a regent to follow. My husband also went to him for his tendonitis and he is very happy with dr. Chris's work. He taught us how to use rock tape to help support overused parts of our bodies I would highly recommend dr. Chris Baker to everyone who is playing a lot of sports.. read more

Three months ago, I was in a major car accident. Since that time Dr. Baker has been treating my neck/back injury and has helped me through this trauma. I can honestly say that I feel revived and rejuvenated after these series of treatments. I move better, think more clearly, have a positive outlook on the healing process, and most importantly feel better!! Dr. Baker is very thorough and informative during his treatment sessions. He will work with your immediate needs as well as discuss a plan for future goals that his patients may have. I have learned more about physical health during my treatment than any other experience of physical therapy. My husband and 13 yr old daughter also see Dr. Baker and love him just as much as me. My daughter, who often needs to hear an expert opinion before believing anything, loves to visit Dr. Baker to chat with him about her sports and how to optimize her performance and health. Dr. Baker is punctual and has never canceled an appt. Premiere Spine and Sport is warm, friendly, and very professional. Yay, Tawny!!! They also provide physical therapy related workshops, not to mention great parking. All in all, the crew at Spine and Sports are the best! They are helping me with my personal injury claim and helping me heal through the process. Thank you!!!! read more

There was a time when I was a gifted athlete--soccer, volleyball, rugby, water polo, ultimate Frisbee, ballroom dancing--you name it, I did it. And then I met a little thing called the real world--and for years sitting at a desk staring at a blinking screen stood in stark contrast to the image of a stud athlete that persisted in my mind. And then one day I woke up and looked at myself in the mirror, and saw the scrawny and bent person I had become. So of course, like I do when making all big decisions in life, I gave it very little thought and immediately went big or went home--and started training for a marathon, lifting, doing plios, and gearing up for jiu jitsu. In short order I got very, very injured, and that's where Dr. Baker comes in. And what a miracle worker Dr. Baker is. I came in with what I thought were knee and shoulder injuries, and Dr. Baker correctly identified tightness and strains in IT band and deltoids and considered the entire muscle chain and alignment issues that contributed to the pain. Not only was his treatment designed to fix me now (and it did), we worked together to figure out movements and training practices to prevent injury again and help me achieve my athletic and fitness goals. It was fully body wellness and a level of expertise and care I've haven't experienced since having a dedicated personal trainer for varsity sports in school, and through phone consultations, email, personal workout sessions at their awesome facility, and even house visits, Dr. Baker is dedicated to getting you to where you want to be. If there is any doubt that chiropracty or Dr. Baker is right for you, I cannot urge you strongly enough to take that chance, pick up the phone, and make an appointment today. read more

Well, I started using Chiropractic care back in the mid 90's when a friend of mine completed her Chiropractic degree and turned me on to the benefits of this care. So, with that being said, I have seen my share of style of Chiropractic care. I started going to Dr. Baker about a year ago. I initially came to him because I had chronic neck aches and headaches. Dr. Chris sat back and made a conscience effort to understand what the possible underlying issues were. Instead of just starting right in on the adjustments, he decided to understand my lifestyle and what I could be doing to cause these issues; He then educated me on ways to help minimize the effects of the environment, which were surely contributing to my ailments. Additionally, he reviewed ways to make certain I was in tune with ergonomic ways to help ensure I would retain a good posture throughout the day. At that point he then incorporated several techniques to help get my body back in a place where it could start to heal itself. Dr. Chris promotes self help, versus a lot of practitioners that recommend daily visits to their offices and quick adjustments. Since visiting Dr. Baker, I can say that I have learned to better maintain my body in a healthy manner. read more

Dr. Chris Baker is great. He knows a lot of different methods and will use whatever makes the most sense for your pain. He is so much better than those, spend 5 min getting adjusted every week or two for the rest of your life chiropractors. His goal is to treat you with soft tissue, exercise, and/or adjustment and get you healed and on with your life as quickly as possible. read more

Dr. Chris Baker & all doctors at Premier Spine & Sport are superb; they truly are the best in class of their industry. Chris is not only skilled in ART, HMT, Rock Taping, mobility, & much more, he is highly knowledgeable in teaching patients seeking to learn the most they can about functional body optimization and premiere health & wellness. I've been a lifelong bodybuilder + a martial artist now in my 50s, and I assure you that I could not possibly function at my current level of performance without the aid of experts (masters really) in HMT, ART, Graston, Rock Taping, etc. such as Dr. Chris Baker. I've also sampled many different sports chiropractors in my life, many of the finest, but Premier Spine & Sport surpasses them all, hands down. read more

I started seeing Dr. Baker after my previous chiropractor moved to Berkeley - and thank god she did!!!! I've seen at least 5 chiropractors to treat my chronic back pain and carpal tunnel and none of the have been able to help me as much as Dr. Baker. I'm not an athlete, just an everyday person that a job that requires a lot of computer work and repetitive movements. Dr. Baker has give me several tips on how to prevent the pain but doing stretching exercises and foam rolling techniques. He has helped so much with my carpal tunnel in my wrists, his technique is crazy but soooo effective!!! read more

My boyfriend has had both shoulder and back injuries that were treated by Chris Baker. His excellent care made all the difference in my boyfriend getting back on his feet. Chris is very knowledgeable and professional and really listens to the patient. He is also trained in helping to heal soft tissue injuries, which is great when dealing with sports injuries. My boyfriend has experience with a few other doctors and chiropractors, and Chris Baker has been the most effective for both healing and pain relief. Chris also encourages continued exercise and good habits at home, which can help to prevent future injuries and to shorten the healing time. If you want the best, do not hesitate to give Chris a call. read more

Shout out to Chris Baker who was my trainer for my sprained ankle. I came in with a sprained ankle from soccer and was unable to move my ankle. Not only did Chris immediately recognize, describe, and treat it, he gave various tips and methods to re-strengthen my ankle to get it back to normal shape as soon as possible, giving me the assurance that I could trust him. After about only three weeks, my ankle felt good as new. Overall outstanding service!! read more

I have been treated by Chris Baker for a couple of years now. Working at a desk job can really put a strain on your back, neck, and shoulders. Chris has not only done adjustments, but he has taught me valuable exercises to help prevent any feeling of discomfort. I can tell he really loves what he does. The excitement in his voice, when he talks about muscles and the way the body works, makes you motivated to get better. He is always researching and sharing new tips and exercises that he has learned. I have never met a chiropractor with so much knowledge. read more

Dr. Chris Baker is very knowledgeable and professional. I enjoy surfing, trail running, and just sports in general. Inevitably, I'll get sprains or do something that needs to be adjusted, and Chris is my go-to person. I realize that when I get adjusted, my recovery time is quicker, and some persistent issues have gone away. read more

So.. I never really give yelp reviews, unless it's something that I MUST say about the place/person... And with that said, I MUST say-- Dr. Chris Baker has helped me in so many ways! I run half marathons and do events such as Spartan and other fun runs.. And while maybe age and having two kids has taken a toll on my body; after getting back into it and doing some training runs, my body (esp. my hips and legs) was in dire need of some physical therapy. I actually started off at another place with another doc and yea, he was nice and helped me alleviate some of my discomfort but that was kind of it, and I felt the need to get more specific instruction and more specific care. Man, Dr. Baker has helped me since day one and he is awesome! He definitely knows what he's talking about and has helped me specifically understand more about my own body and what I can do for being someone that is active (which I plan on being for probably the rest of my life). He has not only helped treat my body after working it (from training and after events), but he has taught me how to prevent long term injuries, mobilize myself, and now we are working on stabilization. The other chiro/doc was only able to slightly treat me but not help me any other way, which is definitely a must for anyone else that is active and/or does sports! So with all that being said, Dr. Baker is definitely someone you MUST come see if you are in need of some good treatment and life long knowledge and management!! :) read more

I came to Chris with minor back and hip issues from rowing, after having tried and been disappointed by other physical therapists who didn't really know what they were doing when it came to sports injuries. He taught me a lot about how to work out properly, how my muscles and joints all affect one another and how to make my body perform at its best. He even discovered injured tissue in my arms, shoulders and pecs that I had never known was there, and no other doctor had thought to look at any other part of my body besides what I was there for. After every session I came out feeling great, and after just a few sessions I was in considerably less pain at practice and felt way more confident in how to treat my body, not just during a workout but at all times. He's genuinely concerned for his patients' health and well being and I definitely would recommend him (and I have). read more

I was very fortunate to come across Dr. Chris Baker. I have had lower back, and hip muscular problems for the last year. He is the first out of 4 chiropractor/physical therapists to approach my muscular issues in a non cookie cutter way. I was in physical therapy last year for about 5 months and felt the same on the last day of treatment as I did on the first day. Since I have seen Dr Baker for the last month, I feel so much better. I have much more movement and he has shown me very practical exercises to strengthen the weakened areas of my body. He has shown me how I have poor posture/movement, and how that leads to said problems. My new mantra now is " ENGAGE YOUR CORE"!!! Also like another reviewer pointed out he was the first chiropractor to work on my wrist, and align them properly. AWESOME! If you are serious about getting over, and healing from sports injuries/ muscular/ back issues, I recommend Dr. Chris Baker highly. p.s. engage your core. read more

My day job is sitting on the computer all day. With that, my neck really gets it when I forget to sit properly. My physical activities is capoeira, Brazilian martial arts that requires a lot of kicks and acrobatics, and also strength training. For that, usually that range from shoulder stiffness to lower back stiffness Chris has been excellent chiropractor, fixing me up thru adjustments, soft tissue manipulation and recommended exercises. Even my whole family goes to Chris for their adjustments/fixes that they need. I recommend Chris to anyone who suffer muscle pain/stiffness in any activity that are involved in. read more

I was referred to Dr. Baker by my sister when the range of motion in my neck was compromised. I might have just slept funny, but this was no laughing matter. I had a headache and was stiff. I have been playing tennis for several years and have suffered different injuries both on the court and at the gym. I have been to several different doctors and physical therapists. Dr. Baker has done more for my rehabilitation in the past month than any of the historic medical professionals I have seen. Not only does he treat and relieve the area of discomfort, he has taught me different ways to prevent the issue in the future. I will be eternally grateful for his help and have referred several people to him. read more
