As a walk-in, close to the end of a Friday, Dr. Rencher spent time answering my questions and explaining the products. She even emailed specific information elaborating on my questions. I highly recommend Dr. Rencher. read more

I was referred to Dr. Rencher from a co worker. I have seen other chiropractors, however none of them were as productive or helpful as Dr. Rencher. Her technique works!!! I came to Dr. Rencher because of horrible neck/back pain caused by 2 separate rear-ending car accidents. I was the one rear ended. Dr . Rencher sends you to an X-ray specialist to see the whole picture before correcting the problem. She is fantastic!!! Dr. Rencher is very caring and extremely accommodating, especially when it's an emergency!!! read more

Editing it 16 months later: it was later diagnosed as Trochanteric Bursitis or Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (sharp pain on the side of the hip and about 10 inches down). I am still in pain, not as much though. Had a cortisone shot, which helped a little, but mainly PT and time. Don't allow DR Rencher's barbaric methods (wooden adjustment blocks) close to your body. She has no expertise in assessing the risks of her methods. read more

Dr. Rencher is an excellent chiropractor. For years I was afraid of having my back adjusted for general health. Then I hurt my back!! I was scared to be in Chiropratic office. She was very giving of her time to address my concerns about being adjusted. She worked on my back and I got better in 3 days!! I had a lot of swelling. Over time, Dr Rencher helped me to be confortable with receiving adjustments. Now, I go to Dr. Rencher for both her knowledge in clinical nutrition and chiropractic care. read more

For the past few years, I've been experiencing chronic neck pain, which has led to a variety of other issues such a headaches, insomnia, and, more recently, hand, wrist, and arm pain and numbness. Since July of 2017, I've seen chiropractors, acupuncturists, massage therapists, doctors, nurse practitioners, technicians, and physical therapists; I've received X-rays, ultrasounds, and prescriptions for pain medications and anti-inflammatories. Despite spending thousands of dollars and countless hours seeking ways to ease my pain, none of the treatments seemed to work. In February of 2020, my doctor diagnosed me with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Within two weeks of the diagnosis, I could no longer open doors, write, or even brush my hair without assistance. I was then referred to yet another physical therapist who then diagnosed me with thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) rather than CTS. Despite resting and icing the specified areas, in tandem with the multitude of stretches I completed each and every day, nothing seemed to be helping. In addition to the swelling of my hands and arms, my neck pain became unbearable, which led to debilitating headaches. Living with chronic pain adversely affected every facet of my life. In July of 2020, my colleague referred me to Dr. Ellen Rencher for chiropractic services. Within minutes of the referral, Dr. Ellen Rencher was able to schedule an appointment that very same day. At first, I was slightly skeptical, only because I had seen a chiropractor in the past, as previously mentioned. As soon as I walked into her office, I knew this experience was going to be different: She began with questions about my medical history, past physical injuries, and other pertinent information. After the initial exam, she scheduled an appointment at a nearby office to get X-rays of my spine. When I returned to her office later that day, she went over the results of my X-rays, informing me about specific areas of concern. Dr. Ellen Rencher was able to identify sources of pain and explained how she was going to approach my treatment (she even contacted my medical insurance provider on my behalf!) . Since my very first adjustment, my pain, swelling, and numbness have significantly decreased. Before visiting her office, I had never experienced such personalized treatments, which explains why Dr. Ellen Rencher's approach has been, and continues to be, so successful. Before my experience at ChiroFit I was desperate, hopeless, and felt significantly older than my 28 years. After only a few months of treatment, I feel like myself again! Though not 100% pain-free, my experience feels nothing short of miraculous. Now that most of my pain has been alleviated, I rarely suffer from debilitating tension headaches, and my hands and arms continue to improve each and every day. I can again turn doorknobs, tie my shoelaces, open jars, and dress myself without assistance! I've learned more about myself and my health than ever before. I highly recommend Dr. Ellen Rencher! read more

Dr. Rencher goes out of her way to be gentle and effective. She helped me with ski injury, as well as back pain and even my wrist. I tried other chiropractors, when I moved away from the Bay Area, and it was not the same. My office experience was very pleasant. Dr. Rencher also adjusted my elderly parents. She is gentle, effective and you can see results. My mother saw an immediate pain free result after adjustment of her left hip, and my father avoided knee replacement after working with Dr. Rencher a few times. She has magical hands and absolutely the best in the field. I highly recommend her. read more

I am so happy that I was referred to Dr. Ellen.. she has made a difference in my life.. I was in a car accident last year and since then I have been on pain (pinched nerve) neck and back with tingling and numbness in my body . With only 4 adjustments my tingling has reduced... and it feels amazing!! with Dr. Ellen's help... I know I will get better, she is very sweet and she cares for her patients. Thank you once again! :) read more

I've been seeing Dr. Rencher for over 15 years and she is terrific. I tried others before realizing that her methods are far superior. Dr Rencher has helped me through many issues including back pain related to a car accident, neck and shoulder issues due to extreme computer use, and also some issues related to my weight lifting. Sadly I moved to Washington a year ago, so I only get to see her on occasion when I'm back in the Bay Area. I highly recommend Dr. Ellen Rencher! read more

I injured my back weight lifting years ago and had seen several chiropractors and masseuses, but the pain under my shoulder blade never went away. As a writer who spends WAY too many hours a day on the computer, this pain had exacerbated and extended into my hand, wrist, and elbow. I figured I'd have to deal with this for the rest of my life, even if it meant my profession leaving me crippled. Dr. Rencher is kind, patient, gentle, and- most importantly- well-versed in how the body functions. After just a few sessions with her, my back now feels looser than it had in my early twenties. It's miraculous how much she has helped me in such a short period of time. I wish I'd met her years ago! I feel like a new chapter in my life and health is quickly unfolding. read more

People go to a chiropractor for back pain, whiplash or body aches, I go to my chiropractor to get more balance, fitness and performance for my body. Chirofit has saved my marathon ridden body in more ways than I can count! The combination of my nutrition program, fitness coaching and adjustments by Dr. Ellen Rencher have helped me get my maximum performance. I'm a fit fifty, but I think that without Chirofit I might have been a fat fifty! Dr. Rencher's foot adjustments have aided my recovery and are treating my bunions in a non surgical way. In 2 words "Chirofit Rocks!" Both my son who's a lineman and my daughter who's a runner and basketball athlete benefit from occasional adjustments too. read more

Dr. Ellen Rencher of Chirofit has made a huge difference in my quality of life. I used to have fairly persistent neck / back / hip pain with the (occasional) horrible back spasms. While some of the pain was due to sports injury (running), I wasn't willing to give up my activities to get well. Although I had seen other chiropractors, none had been able to keep me free of migraines & body spasms. Dr. Ellen used a variety of techniques to get my back, hips and neck healthy, and I can't remember the last time I had a migraine! I will happily continue to recommend her to my friends and family! read more

Dr. Rencher has been my chiropractor for almost 18 years and they are pain free. No headaches, no backaches and even my "trick knee" is all better! Her methodology has changed my life. The combination of Fitness, Nutrition and Gonstead Chiropractic massively enhances my life! Under her care I've run marathons globally and been empowered to have adventures that few in their late 50's can embrace! Dr Rencher is great. read more

I have continued to go to Dr Rencher on a regular basis and she is simply outstanding. Her ability to diagnose and cure my back issues are simply outstanding. She has given me instructions on how to do preventive maintenance, and reduce the number if issues I have through my own fault. this has increased my comfort level in between appointments and made my physical life much, much better. I am a long distance runner(40+ marathons) and innumerable amount of other runs) Her advice, consultation and physical work have simply been outstanding in getting me though some very difficult runs. If I could give 10 stars I would read more

After trying our a lot of different chiropractors, she's the best to fix your back. I have been going to her for 10+ years, especially to fix major lower back muscle spasms - other chiropractors and western doctors can't fix right. While other chiropractors usually just run through their "snap the back" routine, Dr. Ellen Rencher makes checks and fixes your spine and joints to make sure they align properly. She also gives good advice on back and general health issues. If you want your back/spine aligned right, she's "the one" to go to. read more

I met Dr. Rencher through a running group. She coached many in our group to run our very first marathon and half marathon events. Dr. Ellen is a very unique and special chiropractor. She spends quality time with all of her patients and you never feel rushed or unimportant. The first half of every visit includes a very thorough motions analysis of your spine. It's only after this analysis and evaluation that she will make her adjustments. Because Dr. Ellen is an active athlete herself, participating in such sports as cycling, running, skiing and tennis, she understands the various ailments that both competitive and recreational sports can cause. She can administer the kind of care that can get you back to par so you can resume your favorite activity. She also adjusts your hands, wrists, elbows, ankles and feet as needed. Her practice strives for her patients to improve in all areas of their life and offers support in areas such as healthy eating, nutrition & vitamins. She even has a wonderful massage therapist on site. I have always looked forward to my visits with Dr. Rencher. MBH read more

I just started seeing Dr. Rencher, and I am totally impressed. She has already provided relief to my back pain. I can see myself as a long term client already. Her compassion and genuine concern for her patients is immediately evident. read more

Dr. Ellen is the best! I have been seeing her for 6-7 years. She is able to not only make my back and neck feel better, but my feet, knees, wrists and elbows, even my nose and my sinuses. I was a pretty big mess when I first went to see Dr. Ellen. I had been to several chiropractors before her and none had made me feel as good as I did after she adjusted me. If you live an active lifestyle, Dr. Ellen is a must to keep your body tuned. And the icing on the cake is that she is caring, compassionate and sensitive. read more

Dr. Rencher is amazing. I have had to visit her for years due to sport injuries and she consistently gets my spine aligned and pain free quickly! Without her hard work and passion I wouldn't be able to live nearly the same complete lifestyle that I want to live. read more

Earlier this year, I reached down to pick something up at an angle and tweaked my back. From that point on, I was plagued with severe lower back pain that progressed from irritating to excruciating pain over the course of about 6 weeks. I wanted to believe things would improve by themselves but after a particularly bad week not being able to sleep due to the pain, I acquiesced and had a friend take me to the emergency room at a local hospital. I was probed, prodded, xray-ed and given medication to relax my muscles. I was told that if I took it easy, the back would heal itself. After another week of severe pain, I took a friend's recommendation and visited Dr. Ellen. Very simply, from the time I left her office after that initial visit, I was pain-free and have remained that way ever since. I have no prior experience with chiropractors but sense that Dr. Ellen is likely an exceptional example in the profession. She is very thorough in her evaluations and specific in her adjustments. Her care has allowed me to engage in all my normal activities. I highly recommend Dr. Ellen for all your chiropractor needs as well as general well-care. read more

I saw Dr. Rencher for interim care while I was visiting family for six weeks. I had 3 torn rotator cuff muscles and was receiving excellent care where I was living, and did not want my symptoms/injury to worsen while I was traveling. Dr. Rencher either did not listen to me when I told her what I was looking for help with (torn rotator cuff muscles) or lied to me about being able to help- I have since learned that the technique she was using is a bone technique that does not heal muscle. She worked on the shoulder for 5 weeks, insisting that the increased pain I was feeling was a result of her adjustment "not setting properly". I would have been far better off not receiving any care in the time I was traveling- I am now in significantly more pain than before seeing Dr. Rencher, and my right arm now frequently goes numb- I have lost motor ability in my right arm, and now struggle to hold and write with a pencil/pen as a result of Dr. Rencher's irresponsible care. My experience was that Dr. Rencher is a poor care-provider, and an excellent salesperson- I hope this review prevents other people from being roped in. read more

Dr. Rencher has helped me transform from crooked and in pain to aligned and pain free! Unlike other Chiropractors I have gone to, she checks you after each adjustment. She analyzes your spine like a detective. She is great, highly recommend her! read more

As both a chiropractor and sports medicine specialist. Dr. Ellen is the best! She is a consummate professional - well trained, dedicated, smart, and thorough. She spends as much time as needed every time and always brings relief. She truly has healing hands. She has relieved my chronic neck aches, improved my posture, and kept me on the golf course, pain free for four years.. Even though I no longer work near Chirofit, I drive out of my way to return to Chirofit and Dr. Ellen for her exceptional care and periodic "tune ups." I should also comment that her staff is always helpful when I need to reschedule my appointments. Highest possible recommendation!! read more

Dr. Rencher is wonderful. She is very knowledgeable and truly, truly cares about the wellbeing of her patients.

I have been a patient of Dr Rencher's for 5 years and could not be happier with the results! From minor "tune ups" to major, complete "front-end alignments", Dr Rencher ALWAYS provides me with the relief I need. No long drawn out appointments are required here as the treatments are targeted toward direct resolution and immediate results. I highly recommend Dr Rencher! read more

You will not find a better chiropractor than Dr. Ellen Rencher at Chirofit. I've been seeing her for 1+ years - she's kept me running through full and half marathons, and all the training required for these runs, including my next marathon in 10/08. She has also treated or is treating my teenage sons, who play baseball, for back, hip and arm soreness, and they have been surprised at the improvement they have seen. Dr. Ellen has adjusted me from foot to fingertips and everywhere in between - she's thorough and gentle! Ask about her anti-aging and nutrition products - good stuff!! read more

My family loves Dr. Ellen Rencher at Chirofit, in Los Gatos. I've been bringing my kids for chiropractic adjustments since they were born (3 boys under 7-years old). They are typical kids with allergies, colds and lots of little tumbles. Dr. Ellen gives them full check-ups, gentle adjustments, and vitamin juice (G3 juice boxes) to keep them going. I get routine adjustments to help with the back pain of being a Mom, as well as the occasional sports injury. I highly recommend this chiropractor! read more

Dr Rencher is awesome. She actually listens and genuinely cares about seeing you back to full wellness. Been thriving under her care for more than 10 years. Best chiropractor i've ever tried and happy to recommend her to you. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Ellen Rencher @ Chirofit for over a year now, I see her regularly for adjustments to keep my back aligned & in place. Not only does she help my back from pain.....she completely cured my elbow pain..which I had no idea was connected with my lower back and neck problems. I had severe elbow pain for one & a half years......my regular doctor said it was Tennis elbow......& tried everything to help it....injections, PT, you name it, the pain never subsided, until I saw Dr. Rencher.....elbow pain no more!!!! What a relief, and I was so close to having surgery on it. My daughter is a cheerleader, and also sees Dr. Rencher, she keeps her together for her grueling cheer practices from head to toe!! She has also helped me tremendously with my nutrition. She is Amazing!! read more
