I started treatment at with Jackson Chiropractic about six weeks ago. i've had huge success with recovering from serious sciatic nerve and back pain issues. Here's my story. I have been in construction for the last 30 years. I spent 20 years in the field which really pit a stain on my body. I am a very active/athletic guy. I played sports through high school. I ride off-road motorcycles. I also wakeboard and snowboard at a competitive level. My body has taken a beating from all the high impact sports. Over the years i've had many injuries to my back, hips and shoulders. I am currently 47 years old. Over the last five years my back pain and sciatic nerve pain has been extremely bad. On an average day my pain is between 5-7. But over the last six months my pain was constant at about 8 or 9 out of 10. I got to the point were I could hardly stand up straight, I couldn't sleep, I couldn't do my sports anymore because the pain was just unbearable. sitting for long periods of time just made it worse. stretches and exercising wasn't helping. I was ready to talk to my doctor about surgery but first my girlfriend suggested I see Gill at jackson chiropractic. I started treatment and got some relief the very first day, the pain relief lasted a few days. The second treatment the pain relief lasted a week. I could not believe it. I've since had six treatments and my pain level is only at a 2 out of 10 most days. it's absolutely Amazing what Gill has done to fix my lower back and sciatic nerve pain. This guy knows his stuff. His techniques are a combination of many medical disciplines. His knowledge and experience of human anatomy is impressive. But the bottom line is I no longer live with back and sciatic nerve pain. The most sciatic nerve and back pain I have these days is between 1 or 2 out of 10. I am happy to say I'm back doing my sports and working around the yard. I've even been riding motocross for the last month and feel great. Thank you Gill. You have given me my physical health back and I can't thank you enough. I will keep coming back to receive maintenance work. read more

I can't say enough great things about Gil at Jackson Chiropractic! He is truly a miracle worker when it comes to back pain and chiropractic care. I've struggled with back issues my entire life, and after seeing countless professionals, no one has been able to provide the relief that Gil has. Beyond his expertise in back pain, what has truly changed my life is his work on my TMJ issues. I've dealt with chronic headaches for as long as I can remember due to TMJ tension, and after trying multiple dentists and different treatments with little success, I finally found relief with Gil. After just four sessions of TMJ work, my headaches are almost completely gone! Gil is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also compassionate and thorough in his approach. If you're struggling with chronic pain--whether it's back-related or TMJ-related--I highly recommend seeing him. He has made an incredible difference in my life, and I am beyond grateful! Caroline in the front office is absolutely amazing too. She is so sweet and will always do her best to accommodate your schedule. read more

Dr. Jackson (Gil) is an awesome human. His presence is very grounded and calming. He gave me an important perspective and relieved a lot of back pain following a recent accident. He seems to be a very talented chiropractor with a wide knowledge base across several modalities and impressive experience. I liked that he actually understood the body and used hands-on methods which I believe are often more effective (some chiropractors only use guns/machines,etc. for adjusting now. He has various tech to supplement if needed or beneficial, but still deeply understands the body). I also appreciated the compassion, flexibility and responsiveness of his office. They were able to get me in quickly due to the emergency. I will be back in the future! read more

I can't say enough about Jackson Chiropractic and team. Gill is my go to for my families Chiropractic needs. He has recently started treating me for lower back pain and within the first two visits I can say that I am pain-free. Gil took the time to show me how to do stretching exercises to help make my back stronger and with his treatment I feel so much better. I recently brought in my mom who has been suffering from knee, pain, shoulder and lower back pain as well due to arthritis and in just the first visit she noticed a difference. Dr. Jackson (Gil) is honest and will not try to oversell you on something that you do not need. Do not hesitate to visit Jackson Chiropractic. Family owned and doctors that care and are not just out to make a bunch of money! read more

See all

Gil is amazing, he always helps. I have had a few bad injuries and he always helps to get me better. His service is worth every penny you spend and then some. I feel blessed to have met him!!! read more

I found Gil through word of mouth referral. Thank goodness for that! I've been dealing with knee joint pain for years to the point that I couldn't do my normal workouts anymore because lunging and squatting HURT! So a friend recommended that I see Gil and his NMR or Neuromuscular Re-education method. It's the deepest and most painful muscle work I've ever experienced! You want to cry but you know it also works. He gets in there and releases any scar tissue that's holding you back. When he's done exerting 2,000 pounds of pressure on you, you stand up and say, "Whoa! That totally feels so much better!!! Almost pain-free!" I've also had ultrasound machine work done on my knees. It's a very interesting sensation but after it's done, your knees feel young again. Like you can jump up onto the roof in a single bound. Gil knows what he's talking about. He's good and he's knowledgeable. And I'm so glad I found him because now I know where to go. Colleen at the front desk is very kind and she's just so sweet. I've only been here 3x and I feel like family. 3 times people! I've seen a big difference in just 3 visits! read more

Gil is a miracle worker! Astounding improvement for very old injury. I had a foot injury/surgery that limited my ability to walk for longer than 30 min, do you yoga, ride a bike and other simple things. The ball of my foot was not bending, my ankle was locked and I was having severe hip pain from limping for over 20 years. Thanks to Gil I am having incredible results! My hip pain is actually gone! My foot is bending for the 1st time in 20 yrs. I'm not in pain anymore. My life is opening up & I have hope. read more

I had a great first experience with Gil Jackson. He is an excellent chiropractor who uses various tools, including shockwave therapy, to provide treatment. His knowledge of the body and approaches to healing are impressive. It is clear he loves his work and wants his patients to leave feeling better. I can only go monthly, but I look forward to having my hip bursitis and neck pain fully resolved in time. I experienced relief after the first adjustment. Although the muscle work was deep and painful at times, I knew it would ultimately be beneficial. read more

a bajillion stars please!!! I recently met Gil Jackson due to some lower back pain. I am not new to chiropractic work. Gil is the 6th chiropractor that's been in my life. about 2 chiropractors ago I determined that some are okay, and some are mother effing geniuses. I firmly believe that some are just more magnificent and gifted than others. and depending on how miserable you are, you might be just fine with a so so chiropractor or you might need a miracle worker. I have had 2 sessions with Gil and I can tell you he belongs in the magical unicorn genius group. the day after my first session, I couldn't stop smiling at work. I told my coworkers I was in such a good mood I felt like dancing. What I appreciate the most, is that he is not only about adjustments. He incorporates multiple therapies including massage, kinesiology, and physical therapy. he is a wealth of knowledge and will teach you if you are willing to absorb the info. I myself am a dentist and he's teaching me things about the facial muscles that I myself didn't know and I'm excited to bring it back to my practice and help my own patients facing TMD and bruxism. anyhow, if you're in pain and have given up, please don't. Please meet Gil and see what he has to say. read more

Both chiropractors are excellent! Always come out feeling relief!! The office staff is helpful and efficient. read more

I can't believe I have never yelped Jackson Chiropractic. I have been to both Gill and Bob chance. And both men are fabulous. I have been going mainly to Gill for about a year and a half now. He mainly helps me essentially stay out of surgery for my carpal tunnel. He does both chiropractic, deep tissue massage, and he has different tools. I love that they have online booking! With the amount of years of experience that these two chiropractics have it is the best deal in town. read more

Great work - thank you for fixing my knee! Also - office staff, (lack of) wait time, procedures, etc. were all great. Thanks again!

Been seeing Gil for over a year and a half now. He's knowledgable, experienced, and gets you your money's worth in 30 minutes. More than that, though, you'll find that he's extremely personable and makes you feel very comfortable in his office. I've sent my family there and would recommend him to anyone with body aches and pain. read more

Dr. Jackson is the most amazing physician. He is truly passionate about his work and is ridiculously good at it. In one short month he cured a life time of severe migraines and has improved the quality of my life in a tremendous way. And In just one adjustment he realigned a shoulder sprain that I had been dealing with for a little over a week. I try to go as often as I can. I cannot explain how completely incredible I feel after just one short session. He makes every minute count. This is definitely the place to go no matter the issue. read more

Jackson Chiropractic - Best Place Ever! - Chiropractors Near Me - Lafayette, California

I am happy because I know this place, I had pain in my neck and shoulders I could not turn my neck because my muscles were tense, my work, the day to day of a mother when I got home, I had pain there Like a stone in my shoe, when I got to the Jackson Chiropractic , I was happy that they solved my pain, that was incredible, so the chiropractor explained every step I would do around my body then He press where my muscles hurt the most and that was great. I felt happy. I hope the pain never returns! inevitably my work demands me and I hope the pain does not return. read more

I've long relied on Dr. Gil Jackson to patch me up when things go awry, but this time I took advantage of an opening with Bob Chance, DC. who also practices at the Jackson Chiropractic office. I really appreciated Dr. Bob's skill and diligence and pleasant manner during the treatment. Highly recommend. Do not hesitate to make an appointment. read more

Since posting, I have been messaged by his office THREE times. I have a bill, he sent me $165 billed after being paid 405 by 21st Centrey Insurance. I sent, faxed a letter explaining that insurance companies dont pay marked up prices, and I was not paying the rest. I know his pricing for my co-worker was less. He knows what he did, I do not have to send the bill he sent me to prove anything. thinking of dropping to one star... I have seen Dr. Salem out of Walnut Creek for a sports injury a year or two before this, saw her three times and was done. Never paid high prices, exam, massage and adjustment, and sent me home with lotion to put on to help. Paid as I went, friendly clean office, one block over from Trader Joe's. I was not thinking when I got hurt, and that was my mistake, I should have just went and saw her. Have no idea why I did not think off her as a Chiropractor, maybe because she was not a QUAKE like most have been know to be... My opinion... Others may have had better experience with Gil, I did not. WENT IN WITH UPPER BACK PAIN, left WITH NECK AND BACK PAIN. read more

5 Stars is not enough for Dr. Gil Jackson this is one of the Best Chiropractors in the Bay Area Hands down. I would give him and his staff 10 stars if I could Why because Gil knows what he is doing. I remember when I first met Gil years ago I couldn't even turn my neck I was in so much pain from a work related injury Gil was able to help me get back to work and back to normal if it wasn't for Gil I would still be in pain because Kaiser wasn't helping me at all. Thank you Gil for always making me laugh when you knew I was in pain and always smiling and being down to earth and understanding. Thank you MB read more

Where do I even begin? If I could give JC ten stars, I would! I've been doing deep tissue massage work for 26 years. I've spent so many years looking for someone that provides the kind of "RELEASING" work that I received from Gil. When Gil first laid his hands and forearms on my chronically tight traps and neck musculature, I immediately knew that all my pain and discomfort would quickly subside. I am happy to report that after twice weekly double sessions over the last three weeks, I am beginning to feel like my old, "younger" self and now able to return to speed skating and various other sports that I was shy of doing for fear of injury. I could go on and on about Gil's down-to-earth nature, how comfortable he makes you feel with his humor and how much heart and strength he puts into every session. If you are looking for some great, gentle adjustments, you've come to the right place. And if you're in need of some amazing deep releasing neuro-musculatar reeducation before that adjustment, Jackson Chiropractic IS THE PLACE! Thank you Gil for the commitment you bring to every healing session. read more

Gil and Stacy Jackson are a husband and wife chiropractic team that provides effective treatments designed to produce results. They deliver treatment for the individual. No cookie cutter approach at this practice! I have been getting adjustments for many many years and these doctors are by far the best I have experienced. If you want a chiropractor that truly cares about improving your health then Jackson Chiropractic is the place to go. Flexible hours,friendly staff and a clean professional establishment. read more

Gil is a great chiropractor. His treatments have been more helpful than any of the other chiropractic ones that I've tried. I'm old-ish (63) and quite active, so I have a lot of exercise-related aches and pains: sore shoulders, sore shins, sore elbows, you name it. When the pains get bad enough I make the schlep from Berkeley and hand Gil a laundry list. Most of the time, he figures out a way to relieve the pain. While he tailors the style of his treatments to the wishes of his clients, I always request that he takes an aggressive approach to my problems. Scar tissues need to be broken down, and he's extremely good at doing that; he's extremely skilled , and my crunched up, scarred body needs all the external strength and skill that can be applied to it. After two or three treatments, the pains usually diminish, and sometimes even go away. Gil is *very* generous with his time. He clearly likes his job, it's much more than just a way of making a living. Sometimes at the chiropractor's office, you get feel you are getting the ten minutes you paid for then that's the end of it. But in Gil's office, treatments are scheduled for 15 to 30 minutes. if the client that's scheduled after you is late, he'll probably just keep working on you until the next person shows up. read more

Gil was very low key only and just told me he might be able to help me with my low back pain. Being new to Chiropractic I was a little apprehensive but his low key demeanor put me at ease. Then he went on to show me some maneuvers that have really helped me. No weird apparatus left over from the Inquisition like I expected. I highly recommend Jackson Chiropractic. read more

This place is amazing...I am able to call or email if I need an adjustment and they are very accommidating. They do what most Chiroprctor's can't. After only a couple of adjustments my headaches were gone. When I leave the office I am able to move my neck without the extreme pain that I live with everyday. Make your appointment you won't be sorry.... Hey Gil I need another appointment...lol. Oh did I mention how friendly everyone is??? Gil will be my Chiropractor for life!!! read more

Gil gives the best deep tissue massage I have ever had, and follows it up with the required chiropractic adjustments and other tools to re-train the body to hold correct posture and to help muscles work correctly. Gil has given me free extra time as he is sympathetic with my unusual muscle stiffness and difficult financial situation. And in appreciation he deserves an outstanding review ! He his also great with movement and incorporates it in his effort to free up fascia that is achy and stuck. You can hold off on paying that weak masseuse his or her $120 and get your healing massage plus chiropractic in a fraction of the time. read more

Jackson Chiropractic is the best around! I've had the pleasure of being worked on by both Gil and Stacy and they are both fantastic! They communicate with you throughout the session always making sure you are comfortable with the pressure they are using. They are very knowledgeable and genuinely want to help their patients. I tend to carry my stress in my neck and shoulders which can cause me pain at times but after an adjustment from Gil or Stacy I am always pain free again! They always have me back on my feet no matter how bad I am:) I would highly recommend Jackson Chiropractic to anyone looking for quality chiropractic care! read more

As a body worker myself, my body gets pretty tense and tight from the clients that I see. I trust Gil and Stacy to get me back to normal whenever I need some skilled bodywork. They are both veterans in their field. I know that the work they do is effective because it has brought me back from injury several times. I also recommend them to my own clients when appropriate. Can't go wrong with either Gil or Stacy. Both have excellent bedside manner and are attentive to their patient's needs as well as having superior knowledge of anatomy and various techniques. I highly recommend them! read more

Gil Jackson is a miracle worker! My husband was told by his doctors that he would never be able to awaken his damaged nerves and muscles. Wrong! This man has worked with my husband for the last few months. My husbands' range of movement has improved and I can actually see growth in his chest muscles. Amazing! Gil has broken up the scar tissue and given both my husband and myself hope when no one else had any hope to offer. I don't know what we would do without this wonderful man. read more

I have been seeing Gil for many years for many issues and no matter what he always accommodates my schedule and gets me in ASAP. He is professional, kind, smart and knows what he's doing. He has been doing NMR forever and I consider him a pioneer in the field. His staff is great, his prices competitive and he really shows that he loves what he does. I send my bootcampers and personal training clients to him and they all love their results. read more

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.  It's actually the only word that says it all. My yelp writeup for Jackson Chiropractic started to look like a dictionary of superlatives... accommodating. amazing, caring, determined, honest, professional, sincere, thoughtful, understanding, and on and on.  I venture to say Dr. Gil is the best chiropractor in the world, and famous to boot, right?  He's amazing and he completely changed my preconceived ideas of a chiropractor.  Following my accident, my doctor referred me to a physical therapist.  After several visits, the problem persisted so my husband and daughter suggested I see Gil. He worked with me to locate the problem and he fixed it! Yes, it can be painful at times as he digs deep into the tissue but bottom line... he gets results!  And did I mention how friendly everyone is and how comfortable they make you feel (thank you Colleen)! read more

Gil came highly recommended by my sports masseuse, and the selling point was his chiropractic work with several Golden State Warriors at the time. I am generally in good shape, but lost momentum after shoulder surgery, and developed debilitating lower back pain from the down time. Prior to working with Gil, I was significantly depressed due to constant pain and the inability to enjoy an active lifestyle and resume my exercise routine. I had basically resigned myself to the fact I would have to live with this discomfort for the remainder of my life. I was somewhat wary after meeting Gil for the first time, because he was so confident about resolving my back issue completely. Still, I liked him immediately, felt comfortable in his presence, and made the decision to commit to treatment. I felt better at the end of each session than I did walking in the door. It was gradual process, painful at times, with an amazing payoff. Gil made good on his promise, as my back is completely healed. I live in Oakland, CA, and the commute is under 20 minutes. I would HIGHLY and ENTHUSIASTICALLY recommend Jackson Chiropractic to anyone and everyone looking for quality chiropractic care and an opportunity for a transformative healing experience. I'd also like to give a shout out to Colleen for doing such a phenomenal job with her greetings, goodbyes, scheduling, and billing assistance! read more

I cannot recommend Gil Jackson highly enough. When I met Gil I was suffering from near constant migraines. 3-5 times a week I experienced debilitating headaches. Along with other aches and pains. Gil uses state of the art techniques not just spinal adjustments to alleviate pain and relax over activated muscles. I no longer get any migraine headaches at all. Only some minor headaches that don't last very long or prevent me from doing my work like before. He helps with my other aches and pains too!!! read more

Just saw Gil for my (wish it was more) regular chiropractic adjustment. I have had deep tissue work before, but Gil simply has the strongest hands out there. He has helped me so much with my TMJ problems, it's unreal. I'll walk into his office with my jaw hitching and crackling all over the place, and walk out with an easy to open, silent jaw! He breaks up my scar tissue like a champ. Gil is the TMD-whisperer. When he works on my jaw, he always adjusts my back -- I crackle like a bag of popcorn in the microwave. Also, I'm a long-distance runner and he does this magical foot adjustment that turns my lead feet into springs. Amazing! This is the only chiropractic office I will go to. I feel safe sticking my neck out for them when they do adjustments, their office staff is very friendly and happily works with your insurance (if you are lucky enough to get it covered), and Gil and Stacy are the nicest folks around. Thanks for everything, and I'll see you next week! :) read more

Bob Chance, DC is excellent! I'm just passing through the area from So Cal. Dr Jackson pass my info to Dr. Bob he returned my call immediately and book my appointment. He was very through and professional in my exam. The adjustment was FAB. He took his time to do some deep tissue to get some movement. He used some very different techniques that worked extremely well. I promise to go back next time I am in the area. Try him out you won't be sorry! Thanks Dr. Bob read more

Jackson Chiropractic is seriously the BEST at effective treatments for pain and injuries, whatever they might be. I have been a patient of Gil and Stacey's for over six years. I originally went to them through a recommendation of a coworker. At the time I was experiencing horrible migraine headaches caused by a car accident. I had been through physical therapy and more than a handful of different medications and was slowly going crazy (when your head hurts for multiple days at a time that can tend to happen!) Anyway, within ONE treatment my headache had been alleviated, something that physical therapy and strong pain killers had failed to do over months. ONE treatment! From then on I was a believer... Over the years I have seen Gil and Stacey for various injuries: back, neck, hip, foot and each time they have effectively and efficiently treated me. I actually prefer to see them first over my doctor when it comes to aches and pains dealing with the body. Each time I go to them they assess the problem and treat the body part with their vast knowledge of the body and their amazing and magical hands. They also use different types of therapy equipment in combination with their treatments (I have no idea the terminology of these things but they work!) On top of all that, they CARE about your well being, they are patient and answer questions, they explain what they are doing, they give you stretches and exercises to do at home and they are accessible when you need them. I cannot say enough good things about Gil and Stacey, they are great at what they do and they love what they do and that makes all the difference! read more

Gil Jackson has been awesome to work with. He has treated me for several different issues throughout the years and he really knows his chiropractic stuff. If he didn't, he wouldn't be the Golden State Warriors Chiropractor as well! read more

Jackson Chiropractic provides excellent and high-quality service. The Office Manager Coleen is a gem. Dr. Gil Jackson always ensures that I experience remarkable improvements during each of my visits. He and Chris Randle of Oakland Community Acupuncture are true healers. Thanks to both of these professionals, I continue to experience improved physical conditions (and feelings). Also importantly, they are lovely people, gifts to humanity. read more

I have not been able to walk any further than 2-3 miles at a time over the past 2 1/2 years, and there were times when I could not walk at all. After a car accident, I came in to see Gil for my neck and back pain. Not only am I back up to 6 miles again, but for the first time in over two decades I can walk around, and not feel my neck and back constantly nagging at me. It's been a huge blessing. As many of you know, pain can be extremely draining and disheartening. In fact, I wasn't sure If I would ever be able to live pain free again - that is, until I came in to see Gil. Since I have been coming in to see Gil, I feel like I can get back to the world of the living, and without pain. I used to dance, do gymnastics, etc, but for so very long I have not been able to be active in these ways, and being active was very much my lifestyle. Today, after having seen him for only a couple of months, I have so much more energy, and know that I can get back to a more active lifestyle again. I have also learned a few new techniques from him in the process, which I can do on myself to keep my body tuned up, so that's very helpful. Gil listens, he is attentive and he cares about his clients. Colleen is amazing as well, always such a joy to see her when I come in for a session. She is very aware of making the office visit comfortable, warm and super positive! They have created a very open, comfortable, caring, family friendly environment. If you are living in pain - don't settle for it. Get in to see Gil and shifts will happen! read more

I've been to a lot of back crackers.if you ever have shoulders knees or lower back see gil jackson he's great with all three he does this thing when you have lower back pain where he has you scrunch in a ball and he works on you that way and you walk out feeling great. definitely new wave read more

Pain free after 2yrs! As an athlete it was vital to get back to Living again. After seeing others for yrs with no relief just added pain meds I tried a new approach - Electro Acupuncture (as the athletes are using) with amazing results and was told to combine with Chiro/Deep Tissue work and referred to Gil. He and his staff were amazing! He worked with the acupuncturist and with his series of treatments and deep tissue work i FINALLY have relief. The years of pain created scarring but the tissue work is really helping - without drugs. Finally back on the mountain, on my bike and in the gym. Such a blessing - Thank you Thank you! read more

Gil Jackson is an amazing chiropractic healer and an empathetic compassionate human being! If I could give him 10 stars I would. I have been seeing him for almost 2 years and not only has he helped me with lower back pain but he has also helped me heal after both knee surgery and now foot surgery. He also offers excellent advice on self-care and appropriate exercise in order to continue healing between appointments. His goal has ALWAYS been to keep me active and healthy--the goal is NEVER to maximize my frequency of appointments! Gil also has an excellent office administrator and scheduler--Colleen--who has always done her best to fit me into a tight schedule and understands insurance billing through and through! I recommend Jackson Chiropractic unconditionally! read more
