After months of pain following a car accident and no relief, I was referred to Dr. McAllister's office as a last call before giving up on medical care. He and his team were amazing from the time I made the first phone call. Lisa answered the phone right away and got me booked within a week or so. I was in tears during my initial consult, trying to explain my 24/7 pain as it was dismissed by two other doctors and a local physical therapy clinic. After my first treatment visit with Dr. McAllister, shockingly, I experienced improvement in my pain. It was noticeable, immediately. He took my consult seriously, reviewed my imaging in detail before I had arrived, and truly listened to me about where I thought the pain was coming from. Every visit since then, there's been pain improvement. Looking back to what my condition was when I first started, I can't believe I lived with pain that long, thinking it was all in my head or wasn't severe enough for other doctors to take it seriously. I can't recommend Dr. McAllister enough - this type of soft tissue Chiropractic care is real. No meds needed. If you'd been in pain with no answers from other doctors and no relief, or just want to explore a new Doctor for maintenance care, please give Dr. McAllister a try. He will hear you and customize a treatment plan to address you as a person and your pain. read more

This business is no longer owned by the man who started it; who earned a majority of the positive reviews here. I was charged almost $100 to review my online forms, & then told that we'd do my actual treatment "next visit." Since when do people think they can charge and NOT provide the service? The conduct of this practitioner is shameful & they should be embarrassed about stealing money from people who come to them in pain seeking help. Avoid. read more

Dr McCallister and his staff are Rockstars!! I was in pain for over 2 years before finding Cohen Chiropractic and the treatment I received at their office made a huge difference in my life! Dr McCallister not only provided pain relief for my upper leg (adhesion therapy) but he was keen enough to know I had another issue causing my pain. He ordered an MRI and Bingo...found a slipped disc that was putting alot of pressure on my leg nerve. I'm so grateful for his experience and I'm scheduled for back surgery next month to relieve my pain for good! I can't thank Cohen Chiropractic enough for making a difference in my life! Highly recommend to anyone that needs to determine the source of their pain!! read more

DR COHEN IS THE BEST!!!! I have been seeing Dr. Cohen for over 18 months and literally every time I go I feel better immediately and progressively over the day as well. I am very grateful to have him as he really cares about my pain and listens to what I'm feeling. He is not the typical snap and crack chiropractor but looks at your movement and even measures balance among many other things I don't understand... But what I do understand is that when I've injured myself in the gym or just tweaked something living an active life- he's always there to help me feel better and give me action steps to keep living pain free! GRATEFUL! If you're looking for a new Chiro- look no further he's your guy! (ps He's also an avid athlete himself so for any other active people who want someone who truly understands wanting to age gracefully and live a long, active life- he's living what he teaches!" read more

My experience at Cohen Soft Tissue and Chiropractic has been nothing short of amazing. As a hairdresser of over 25 years I was experiencing pain in my calf...like the kind of pain where every step i took i thought about it. I had to put my membership at my Gym on hold, and then, because the rest wasn't helping to remedy the pain, i had to cancel my membership. Everyday at work i was preoccupied by the pain i was experiencing. i was feeling hopeless. A friend recommended her chiropractor.... i was a tad leery because the snap, crackle and pop of traditional chiropractors had left me fearful. I was also not crazy about being chained to a Dr. with no end in sight. I decided to go see Dr. Cohen . The office staff are so kind and helpful, amazing first friendly face to encounter. I also really appreciated that your first appointment with the Dr. was to get to know you and see if your pains are a match for his specialty. When you have your first exam, the Dr. comes up with a plan for you, including a timeline! From that point on, I have completely enjoyed and looked forward to my appointments, all the while knowing their goal is to get me feeling better, provide exercises to compliment my treatment and send me on my way, pain free! I'm happy to report my calf pain, gone....gone after the second appointment! ALSO.... The Dr. asks at every appointment , " Do you have any questions or concerns?" We've since moved on to other areas that have been tight and have prevented fluid motion, I'm kind of hooked! I really like having @mydrcohen in my corner. He's kind, funny and can identify the cause of your pain lickety split. Not your run of the mill Chiropractor. What a GEM! read more

I first went to Dr. Cohen on the recommendation of a friend who spoke highly of the results they had experienced. I have a small tear in my rotator cuff and really want to do everything I can to avoid surgery. Dr. Cohen helped my range of motion and associated pain so that it's at 90 percent of what it used to be. Dr. Mcallister has taken over the practice and he is also amazing! I've had pain in my lower back for quite a while and nothing would help. After a few treatments, it really has improved tremendously. If you're not sure about going to a chiropractor, I recommend that you do some research about muscle adhesions. It's something that I really didn't know anything about before. There are no spinal adjustments in the treatments that Dr. Mcallister does but rather it's all related to releasing the muscle adhesions. I am so grateful to have found him. Everyone in the office is friendly and super helpful! They are very Covid aware and safe. read more

My wife's back went out in the morning before work.. She could not turn her neck... we were in desperate need for a chiropractor, not only that, we needed one as soon as possible. We knew we wanted someone who knew Graston. So I looked online, and found Dr. Cohen, saw that he used twitter, electronic appointments and notification, and new patient registration... Within 20 minutes we were all set with a new patient appointment. We got an appointment for the same day .. (amazing for the north county). My wife was mobile, and feeling better within hours. After a 20 minute consult he had her back to near normal from not being able to turn her head, breathe deep breaths, and raise her arm. I have since, gone for some back pain, and low flexibility. I've seen marked improvements since visiting Dr. Cohen. I'm sure he is great for all types (we have personally already referred several people), but I would highly suggest him for folks who workout, or do Crossfit. He is well versed in the sport medicine and gave me several key tips for staying safe during CrossFit style workouts. The office is a small unassuming spot with a chiropractors table in the middle of it on Morro Rd.. Parking right in front makes it easy. His rates are very fair.. ..actually overly so.. we have great insurance, so I'm not sure what everyone pays, but it was very reasonable, and it made it possible for me to visit a few times without feeling a pinch in my wallet. Definitely put Dr. Cohen on your list for a good chiropractor! ***6 MO. UPDATE*** Dr. Cohen is still our go to guy! He has saved both of us several time since I wrote this review, we are both very happy with his service. All the best, Rob read more

Dr. Cohen is the best! I have been experiencing heel pain off and on for the last 10 years. The last 3 years was more on than off. I went to a podiatrist a few years ago. He prescribed naproxen and he recommended that I purchase heel lifts to put in my shoe. It worked for a while, then the pain came back, even worse! A friend recommended Dr. Cohen. After the first treatment I was 50% better. With each treatment the pain lessened. I am back to my walking and hiking and I free great! read more

I previously had a bad experience with a chiropractor. Well, maybe not bad, but the kind it seems that MOST people have--I went for several months, he spent about 15 seconds cracking me, asked a couple perfunctory questions, and then charged me a lot. And it never helped. I've suffered terrible headaches for over 10 years, and they finally became almost debilitating--I was in pain every single day. Dr. Cohen encouraged me to exercise, gave me nutritional tips, stretches to do at home so that I can work on getting better even when I'm not seeing him, and his focus on soft tissue and whole-body healing actually WORKS! He also spent time explaining what was causing my pain, and exactly what he was going to do in order to fix it. Every time I go in, he asks how I've been, where the pain has been, etc., so he can tailor the visit to my current needs. It only took a couple visits for me to start feeling better. I still experience headaches, but they're much less frequent and much less severe, and I have faith it won't take long for me to be well again. I am SO grateful that I found him! read more

I know Dr. Cohen through business and have gone to him for care several times when my primary doctor is not available. I have a bad back that comes and goes but when it comes it puts me out of work for a few days. I can't have that! The last time I had this happen I went to Dr. Cohen for treatment. He got me in right away. At the appointment he did some adjustment to my back and did some soft tissue work to the area. I actually felt better right in the office and could stand up straighter than when I had gone in. That was amazing by itself (no other doctor had been able to do that in fact many make it worse)but what was equally amazing is that Dr. Cohen took our a little white board and drew a diagram showing me what was going on with my muscle. That relieved so much anxiety just knowing I was not going to die:) This information, along with stretching directions, has let me see when my back is starting to get sore so I can keep from doing this to my back again. Dr. Cohen is the man when it comes to soft tissue repair! read more

I really recommend Coast Soft Tissue, previously Cohen soft tissue. Dr. McCallister has helped me with a number of my issues when my normal chiropractor wasn't cutting it. I came in suffering from lingering low back pain that would kick in with too much walking or standing. With a few treatments & some home exercises my symptoms mostly went away and any reoccurrences were able to be treated periodically to keep me in good shape. Dr. has also been treating me for some neck & foot issues, respectively. He is knowledgeable and friendly without being unprofessional, in fact the whole staff is great there. I really appreciate that their goal is to get you to a good place physically as soon as possible and back off treatments until you are able to just maintain. This is no miracle cure, it requires time and effort on your part as well as a little pain, sometimes, but well worth it to get long term results. I'm grateful to have been recommended here and have finally been able to make a dent in my issues, so much thanks. read more

I first visited Cohen Soft Tissue and Chiropractic over three years ago. I had been suffering from back pain for about fifteen years after sustaining a fall from a loft, and a minor car accident. During those years I assumed that the only remedy was anti-inflammatory drugs and pain medication. After an intensely painful week over three years ago, I decided to try seeing a chiropractor. I found Cohen Chiropractic online, who had great reviews. During my first visit, Dr. Cohen explained my condition in a way that was easy for someone not in the medical field to understand. Quickly we went to work addressing my condition and soon I learned what it was like to be pain-free for the first time in fifteen years. After going about three years without seeing Dr. Cohen. I had completed over a year of studies and found myself dealing with a different discomfort which I had developed from sitting incorrectly while studying and looking down at a book or device to read for hours at a time. I decided that it was time once again to enlist the help of Cohen Soft Tissue and Chiropractic as I trusted that Dr. Cohen would know exactly how to help. Upon returning to Dr. Cohen's care I found that he is now at a new location which has a very relaxing feel. I also learned that he now has an amazing staff who are very professional and caring, as is he. We are once again quickly alleviating my discomfort and I couldn't be happier with the results. All in all Dr. Cohen has a great wealth of knowledge and experience in his field and I have and will continue to recommend his practice to anyone in need of his services. read more

As someone who hates when things "crack", I was SO nervous about going to a chiropractor for the first time. My neck was in such bad shape that I couldn't turn my head in any direction. After seeing Dr. Mike for several weeks, I got my range of motion back. And while some of the work on my neck was painful, there was absolutely no cracking and it was well worth it to be able to function normally again!! I would recommend Cohen Soft Tissue to anyone who needs to regain their range of motion! read more

I am so glad that I have found Dr. Cohen! I have had neck and back issues for many, many years. After having treatment by a few other chiropractors for several years, this is honestly the first time that the root of the issue is finally being addressed. read more

I hurt my back helping some friends moving their living establishment around. My job requires a lot of physical exertion and a certain amount of nimbleness. The day after I hurt myself, I had to call out of work because I could hardly get myself dressed. I googled chiropractors in Atascadero, and it labeled Dr. Cohen as the closest to my apartment. I called his office and - to my surprise - he picked up the phone! I got to talk directly with my doctor! That was pretty cool. He explained that he didn't have any immediate openings, but quickly scheduled me for later in the day. I walked into his office and he came out and shook my hand, introduced himself, and then sat me down and got all my information down. Then he just started asking me about... well, me. He definitely seemed genuinely interested in his patients! We got through the first session and he scheduled me for the following day. He also cleared me to go to work, but to take it easy. The next day work ran way too late, and I thought I had for sure missed my appointment with him (although I had called ahead of time to let him know) When I got off work I came running into his office, where he literally had my number dialed and was calling to let me know he still had space to fit me in at the end of the day. Overall, this guy is the guy! I'm very happy to know that there Dr. Cohen is out there helping other people with as much the same good attitude and good grace as he had with me. THANKS DR. COHEN! read more

I'm a fairly fit, 54 year old woman who started having very painful, lower back problems two years ago, to the point where I was in pain constantly. I went to several doctors, including surgeons, who suggested pain management treatment. I was referred to Dr. Cohen from a co-worker. He viewed my MRI's and designed a treatment plan for soft tissue manipulation for my lower back and hips. There was no cracking or popping involved. I've seen him off and on over the past couple months and have improved 85% or more!!! I recommend Dr. Cohen for anyone who is needing more than the normal snap, crackle and pop. read more

In early April, I contacted Dr. McAllister of Cohen Soft Tissue and Chiropractic. I've had low back and hip pain for a long time. Physical therapy, traditional chiropractic spinal manipulation, acupuncture, and cupping have all been recommended to me with little success. These treatments did not address the basis of the problem. On April 20th, I had my first virtual consultation with Dr. McAllister. My problem was determined to be treatable. Furthermore, I reside nearly 4 hours away. Due to my extensive journey, Lisa, the office manager, is extremely supportive in maximizing my appointment times. It's been about two months since I've been in care. I'm amazed at how much my low back discomfort has gone away and how much my hip flexors have become more flexible. Dr. McAllister also works on my shoulder and scapula. Significant muscular adhesion was what I mistook for an intractable muscle knot. Muscle adhesions, I've found, are the source of my suffering. The travel is well worth it because each treatment results in considerable improvements in my physical functioning and recovery. read more
