Dr. Max (Lippman) is AMAZING and Julie Cervantes is AWESOME. I want to share my stories about these…read moreplaces that I love to visit over and over again. Dr. Max is a lifesaver. Last year I had a fever with a high temperature. It happened at the end of the week. At night something shifted in my hip bone area and I started feeling an annoying pain. It kept growing, and by the end of the next day I couldn't sit, stand, walk, or lie down. The pain was constant. The painkillers didn't work. Stretching didn't work. A warm, relaxing bath with salt didn't work. I was crying because it was unbearable. Somehow I made it through Thursday night, Friday, and the weekend. First thing in the morning my husband called Dr. Max to make an appointment, and thanks God he had a few openings, so I was able to come in. After a careful examination, Dr. Max made some adjustments and the pain was gone. It was like a miracle! I couldn't believe that in such a short time, the pain that had kept me from doing anything had disappeared. This is just one story about Dr. Max's work. I have many, since I've had the chance to see him whenever I needed over the past ten years. Julie is a rare professional I feel comfortable coming to no matter how I feel, even when I am exhausted and can barely speak. She provides thoughtful support and a healing massage for my joint and muscle stiffness. She uses a special machine (PEMF) that identifies which area of the body needs extra attention and shows what condition it is in. The machine sends electrical impulses that are mostly pleasant, but where there is real stiffness, it shows up and helps Julie see how the flow goes. It helped me a lot when I had an intensive period of workload and sat for 12-14 hours in a row. My body was crying. I had problems with my lower back and shoulders. The stiffness was so strong that I had pain at the end of each day, while walking, or while I was in bed turning onto one side. Gradually, through her hard work on my lower back and shoulders, the stiffness eased and the pain has gone. I appreciate that the results keep going long after I leave, lasting weeks and months. Julie helped me restore it and heal some of the areas that did not work properly for quite some time. I wish I had known earlier that I can address my condition and recover. I know that it is also helpful with some sports injuries and rehabilitation after surgeries. My mother-in-law tried it, and it helped her with an old surgery to restore more mobility in her shoulder area. Her arm now has a greater range of movement than before the massage with Julie and her machine. I would like to give a special thank you to Jayson and Julia for their excellent work with the clients at the front desk.

I want to add to my past praise of this practice by recognizing Julie Cervantes, a CMT with special…read moretraining in PEMF. My daughter had been struggling for months with a growth plate stress injury in her wrist. Despite following her orthopedist's recommendation to rest it for a couple of months, she still couldn't use her wrist without pain, discomfort, and significant stiffness. While acupuncture successfully relieved her pain, her wrist and forearm remained extremely tight, limiting her movement and keeping her from returning to the activities she loves. Wanting to explore additional options, I brought her to Julie for PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy. I was hopeful, but I never expected such dramatic results. Within just two days of her first treatment, my daughter noticed a significant release in the muscles of her forearm. After only two treatments, she was using her arm freely again and was excited to return to her normal activities. Julie, thank you for introducing us to this remarkable therapeutic modality. It truly felt miraculous to see the spark return to my daughter's eyes after months of frustration. You didn't just help restore her wrist mobility and function, you gave her back her confidence in her physical abilities. I only wish I had brought her in sooner and that I had known about PEMF therapy when I was recovering from my own back injury a few years ago. I am incredibly grateful for your expertise, compassion, and willingness to think beyond conventional treatments. Thank you, Julie! *********************************************************** I've been a patient of Dr. Max for several years, and he's treated me for various conditions. Most recently, he provided exceptional care for a herniated disc. Dr. Max is professional, easy and good to talk with, and genuinely cares about his patients. He understands that every patient is different and is open to adjusting his approach to be more gentle if that's what you need. His exceptional ability to diagnose the problem and make the proper adjustments to fix it is nothing short of miraculous. A key part of his practice is the inclusion of top-notch massage therapists like Valeria. She's been indispensable in my herniated disc recovery, helping me return to an active lifestyle. I can't say enough about her therapeutic hands. Valeria is incredibly skilled, in tune with every muscle, and has a lovely energy that makes each session positive. She even offers great rolling and stretching tips to support your progress. Dr. Max now treats my whole family, including my kids and elderly mother-in-law. I trust him, and Valeria, wholeheartedly with our care. If you're looking for a chiropractor who combines expertise with genuine compassion and a massage therapist who can truly heal, Dr. Max and Valeria are the ones to see.

If you've found yourself saying "I should probably go to the chiropractor" then you absolutely need…read moreto go to the chiropractor. Trust me - we're all messing our necks up unfortunately. Like most folks, I am still weary about going to the chiropractor so I do some major due diligence and find the providers with a history of consistent 5-star ratings which brought me here! Dr. Rena Adhut is an excellent provider! I'll be headed back for my third visit today, but that first visit brought such relief. Just the spine stretchy thing and the slight manipulations were heaven. I experienced the expected soarness, but slept significantly better that evening. I've already referred this provider to a few work colleagues already too because they too could use some relief from the neck and shoulder tightness, headaches, and back pain/stiffness. I kidd you not, this was long over due and I was legit shrinking bc of my spine, so now I'm back to my full height haha! and even my sunken clavicle is almost back in it's correct place. Have to quickly shot out the front desk staff here as well just as I did for the Pleasanton location.

I've been coming here for about 10 years when Dr. Brent Babcock first owned this clinic. I was…read moresuper happy with Dr Babcock's adjustments and his staff setting up the stim treatments. I am happy to see that excellent service has continued under Dr. Westover at the Alexander Chiropractic. They've helped me after a car accident and also just for maintenance when I feel tight in my neck, shoulders & hips. I am a yoga teacher and am aware of taking care of my body but I have the type of musculature & connective tissue that benefits from chiropractic tune-ups. i've come here once/month or weekly if I have a flare-up. i'm trying to come in more frequently as a preventative measure, when i am out of alignment and in pain it can disrupt my work and daily activities. I've never felt any sales pressure to buy a package or keep coming back, unless it's recommended for my bpdy or they're just letting me know about an option to save money. INSURANCE: i appreciate they take my insurance. TIP: if you're paying out of pocket get a discounted prepay package and ask if they're offering any black friday or new patient specials. i don't know if they still are on groupon but that's where I initially found Dr Babcock. TIP: take advantage of the 9-minute stim treatment, with heat or ice, before or after your adjustment. if i'm really tight i'll do stim beforehand to get a better adjustment. no one asked me to write this. this review is 100% coming from me. 60 years old. Feeling fit and fabulous! In addition to my yoga lifestyle, chiropractic adjustments are part of my self-care. When we feel comfortable in our bodies, we feel happier. When we calm our minds & reduce stress, we feel less tension & tightness in our bodies. Hope this review helps! Amelia Andaleon @spirituallyfityoga spirituallyfityoga.com

First I'd like to preface this review with a disclaimer: I do not believe in the pseudoscience of…read morechiropractors. It is a well known fact amongst the healthcare community that chiropractors perpetuate a lot of false information. With that being said I still like to get an adjustment from time to time. I enjoy the temporary relief it offers. Which for the most part getting cracked offers TEMPORARY relief. I took advantage of their $29 first time adjustment. I was sorely disappointed. There was zero cracks. Every single crack was done through a drop table. There was no relief. This is opposite to what I've had in the past. My preferred form of adjustment is manual with hands and no presence of a dropping table. In my opinion the drop table was lazy. It provided no relief. The only time I got a "manual" crack was my shoulders and below my neck. Felt like a waste of money.

I hardly ever scream when visiting Dr. Robyn. Even when they bring the "Adjuster" out, I can pretty…read moremuch stifle my screams. I have been a patient of Dr. Robyn Chementi for many years, and I am pleased with the results. Yes, it sometimes does smart a bit, but it's worth it. The doctor is now practicing in a brand new facility in Danville, in the pleasant Livery Shopping Center. The office looks brand new, and it's really comfy inside. They even have free coffee in the waiting area. Besides the treatment rooms, they also have an area for massage near the back. On my most recent visit, I had very sore neck and shoulders. The doctor worked out some of the knots, then used the "stim" machine in conjunction with heating pads. "Stim" is just a nice way of saying, "Lets give you some shocks." This is perhaps my favorite part of the treatment. Working at the electric company, I naturally appreciate electrical machines like this. They put electrodes on your body. They sort of stick to you--I think that makes the shocking work better. As the doctor turns up the voltage, you can feel a little bit of tingling, but it's not too severe. You just say, "Stop," and she turns it up a little bit more, then stops. It's pretty exciting. The doctor also released the pressure in my neck and back. She sort of rolls you over and squeezes really hard. At that point, you hear some cracking noises coming from various body parts. But they're usually good cracking noises. It feels really good when it's over. Another fun device is a machine called the "Adjuster." It sounds like something parents use on misbehaving children, but no, it's actually for adjusting parts of your body. The doctor presses it against your back and hits a button. Then, it hammers you sort of like a jackhammer on a street, but not quite that hard. In the old days, it could only adjust you once, but with the electric kind you can adjust the patient a whole bunch of times, with just one button push. It's much more efficient that way. At the end of my treatment, Dr. Robyn also used a fun device called a scraper. (Well okay, that's probably not the scientific term, but it seems accurate anyway.) I thought it was made of plastic, but on a recent visit, the doctor showed it to me. It's actually thick metal. It sort of looks like brass knuckles. She rolls it along your skin digging in a little bit. It's not really as bad as it sounds, and it's very helpful. As the treatment today was proceeding, I actually felt my muscles beginning to relax. Keep in mind that treatment can be a little stressful on your body, so plan on drinking lots of water and perhaps taking a nap afterwards. Of course, I'm far too young to take naps, but you older patients might wish to do so. Seriously, I appreciate the professionalism from Dr. Robyn. Plus, she's just a flat-out nice person. I pretty much trust the doctor, but I still watch carefully when she's at the dials of that stim machine. Trust, but verify.

A friend recommended Dr. Zamora, and I decided to see if he could help. After X-rays, he explained the issue clearly and created a treatment plan that included spinal decompression.

Dr. Zamora is knowledgeable, listens carefully, and explains everything clearly. The front desk staff is friendly, welcoming, and supportive, making every visit a great experience. I'm glad I found him and would definitely recommend him to anyone dealing with back pain.

Full review: I could write about all the visits I had, which by choice averages about 1 per week since 8/23/2020 but I want to focus on the experience and what you can look forward to. Acupuncture is more than just physical therapy, at least it is for me. It is working on my physical and mental wellbeing. It is pampering yourself in a good way. If you get getting electro acupuncture, the muscle twitch feels like getting a massage from within the muscles. Once the needles are in place, it becomes an amazing opportunity to get a quick nap or practice meditation. If often use the time to meditate. You can "2 birds with one stone" in healing both the mind and body. You will quickly realize how everything in interconnected within the body. If this is your first time here are 5 things to know: 1. People often are afraid of needles because we imagine the shots we get at the doctor's office. This is completely different. You really don't feel much during the needle placement. If it's your first few times, she will explain the kinds of sensations to look out for. In short, pinchy is not good while a dull ache is. 2. She is also a licensed herbalist as well. Natural herbs and acupuncture walk hand in hand. 3. She explains everything well from what she is doing to why she is doing it. The attention to detail is impressive. 4. As I mentioned in the beginning, she really does want to see you get well. She takes detailed notes about you every time you see her. 5. Trust is extremely important and Sarrah is amazing at making sure you are always comfortable and most importantly, safe. Fact is 3, 4 and 5 can be said about the entire staff of SC Sports Therapy. Dr. Steve is my chiropractor. Once I have a few more visits with him, I will do a full review for Dr. Steve but I can tell you that he is to chiropractic care what Sarrah is to acupuncture, nothing short of exemplary.

My son was very tight on one side leaving him curved to one side and limited mobility to turning his neck to both sides. We also suffered a bunch with gas pain. Dr.Ko was amazing with my son. Within the first appointment we noticed results. After his first appointment he had more mobility in his neck and also in the curvature of his muscles in his spine. My son loves Dr.Ko! We continued to see Dr.Ko after his tongue tie release anytime we noticed anything out of the norm and could always see results! We will continue to see her as long as she's in practice!

If you choose to go the cheaper, more affordable route, you will end up paying more to compensate for the lack of quality. So it is BEST to choose to INVEST -- her prices doesn't even amount to the level of service and quality you will receive which is the absolute best. Third child-- I am not new to the industry or parenting world and each child had tongue/oral ties. As a parent dealing with this, it is emotional and taxing. I wasn't very informed with my first, became more informed with my second and with my third, decided it was best to invest for peace of mind. Pre and post body work is KEY to a successful release. Already with my third, we have had a faster healing process. Dr. Ko is incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate. My daughter is incredibly different compared to my two boys and it brings me to tears because I wish I had seen her sooner. She goes above and beyond any provider-- she is resourceful and even sends follow up texts to check on you. And how beautiful is it that although I came for my daughter, she has experience with prenatal and postnatal women and ended up servicing me as well and recommending me to a provider to help with my diastasis. We need more holistic providers like herself who genuinely cares for her patients and their families. I wish I could name all the times she really stretched herself for her patients but it is countless to name. I highly recommend Dr. Ko and her team!
