I was very impressed by the the entire facility's level of service. Dr. Crowley did a complete assessment and found the source of my neck troubles rather then just treating the site of my complaint. I left feeling without feeling the constant neck tension unusually feel. I would not hesitate to recommend her services. read more

I can't say enough good things about both Dr. Cohen and Dr. Nancy. No matter the issue (shoulder, lower back knees), they know how to get to the source for permanent relief. Always positive, I leave feeling better on every level. Thank you for all you do. read more

Dr Cohen is a wizard. Over the past few years I have had several severe issues with my back that prevented me from even standing up straight. I was in constant, agonizing pain and all my medical doctor could do was provide ineffective pain killers. Physical therapy and acupuncture could barely ease my pain temporarily, and I was desperate to find a way make it through each day, let alone maintain my work and family duties. On each occasion, I limped into the Proactive office needing the help of a cane, and in 30 minutes I walked out unassisted. I could have never believed the skill and knowledge base possessed by this miracle worker. Dr Cohen was able to assess my problems quickly, and treat them with astonishing acuity. If you are having any kind of back issues do yourself a favor and try Dr Cohen. You will be impressed and amazed by his ability to ease your suffering. read more

This place is way too expensive for the care they provide. I paid $450 for a 1-hour session. Also they are not responsive--for a very simple question I had to send three emails and still have received no response from them. Don't waste your time or money. read more

Dr. Cohen totally cured my knees. I had assumed that the stiffness and achiness in my knees were due to arthritis and that I had to give up running and exercise classes. Wrong! Turns out it wasn't even a knee problem but rather a result of hip imbalance. After a couple of sessions with Dr. Cohen to align things and some easy "homework" exercises, I am back to running, boot camp with squats and lunges and my beloved Zumba, pain-free. He is truly magical and I am so glad to know he's there for me if some other pesky thing comes up that impinges my movement and my enjoyment of physical activity. read more

Dr. Cohen and Dr. Chu are wonderful. Extremely knowledgeable and explain what is going on and how they are treating you. They are interested in your long term well being and treat you with that in mind. I couldn't recommend them more highly. read more

ProActive Chiropractic is the gold standard of chiropractic work in my opinion. I played college football and needless to say 10 years later I still deal with all my old injuries. The ProActive protocol Dr. Cohen has created is the most effective work I have experienced. My favorite part of this protocol is the autonomy it creates between both Doctors. I can see either Dr. Cohen or Dr. Chu and know they will assess my brain and body's current state and then prescribe and apply customized, accurate and effective solutions. Book your consultation NOW!! read more

Andrew and Nancy are the BEST! I started coming after years of back and neck pain from sports injuries, car accidents and sitting at a desk and within several months feel normal again! Their treatment methods are not just traditional adjustments where they "crack" a few things - they really take time to examine the root joints or muscles causing things to be off. After a tune-up visit with them, I feel so much better! Highly recommend them for skeptics of traditional chiropractic treatment! read more

I've had two appointments with ProActive Chiropractic for my foot. I always thought chiropractors would focus on the back but I like the holistic approach the doctors at ProActive take. I saw Dr.Chu for my initial assessment and she walked me through the process and would work on each area of the body and see what I may need help on. My foot pain is what we've decided to work on, the initial appointment is really helpful to better understand what the body might need help with, she will adjust each area and move on if those areas, should,back, etc. don't need any help. She gave me exercises and goals to work on for the following sessions. The second session was more focused on targeting my foot and adjustments needed. I was able to work on the exercises she provided and worked building balance and foot strength in yoga as well. After her adjustments in the first and second session I could feel improvement in my foot pain and can tell the adjustments and exercises are making a difference. I recommend Dr.Chu and ProActive for anyone with pain or stiffness, it's been helpful to work on my foot while training for my next race. Their office also has informative sessions every 6 weeks or so on taking care of various areas of the body which I thought was a nice plus, if you bring a friend those sessions are free! read more

Dr. Kate Crowley is a life saver! She started by completing a full assessment of my stance and helping me work each week to improve my pain. She's been treating me for the last few months and I would never go to another chiropractor. read more

Both my husband and I are patients at ProActive Chiropractic. In my first month of care, I saw great improvement in my posture and how I feel in my body. What I appreciate the most about Dr. Andrew Cohen is that he takes a more holistic view to care. I also appreciate that he remembers what is going on in your life and genuinely wants you to hit your goals and feel better. He also makes you feel very comfortable and talks you through every adjustment or recommendation. We would recommend to family and friends ! read more

The conclusion first - there is nothing Dr. C can't fix. If you have a specific injury, or you just happen to be the rare person who takes personal responsibility for your health, Dr. Cohen can help you be as healthy as you want to be. My injury... I tore my ankle. I've played basketball, football, and soccer my whole life - I've had plenty of ankle injuries. I know a sprain from a tear. This was a tear. It happened with a gopher hole at the polo fields at GG Park during a soccer game. I immediately knew it was bad. My ankle was the size of a cantaloupe within 5 minutes. I went home for RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) treatment that night. The next morning I still couldn't walk. I made an appointment at Kaiser to see a doctor. They were nice enough - they took some x-rays, made sure my foot had a pulse (?), gave me some crutches, and told me to RICE. Nice - yes, but they didn't really tell me anything I didn't already know, and most importantly, no actual treatment took place. Enter Dr. C... I was hesitant to go. I've had 2 back surgeries in my life (mothers - don't let your children play football), and have always been afraid of chiropractic medicine. I now know it's crazy, but I always pictured large hands snapping my back, and me being confined to a wheelchair for the rest of my life. Nothing could be further from the truth. Dr. Cohen knew I was tense, and was extremely patient with me, taking time to explain everything he was doing and why. It put me at ease, but it also demonstrated how thorough his knowledge is. I scheduled treatments every other day that week, and he worked to make sure that all the ligaments, tendons, muscles, bones* in my lower leg remained balanced and healed evenly as my huge, purple balloon-ankle recovered. I saw immediate results after each visit, and the recovery time without Dr. Cohen would have easily taken twice as long. *trivia from my visit with Dr. C - did you know that 25% of all the bones in the human body are in the feet? read more

Really impressed with Dr. Cohen both as a person and chiropractor - doctor. He is quite unusual for a doctor. He is patient and listens, as well as being fun and effective. He checks in with me first and tells me what he is going to do, then asks me, "Is that ok?" He waits for my answer and if I think it is ok. Sometimes, when he goes to do a procedure, my body tenses, regardless of the fact that I think it is ok. Then, he will find another way to do the same procedure so my body can be relaxed and receive the treatment as effectively as possible. I am very thankful my massage therapist referred me to him. She says he got a whole side of her body working more effectively and that has greatly improved her health. In addition to being well-grounded, he is fun. Dr. Cohen is helping me to be stronger and relieve pain while enjoying learning about how my body can work better. He doesn't just give the standard exercises. I told him about exercises prescribed by other doctors, but are very hard and painful. So, he gave me other exercises and told me what to expect and that in time it will improve. And, it is working! Bottom line: Dr. Cohen is a straight shooter who will tell you what he can and can't do and help you to get your body in shape and working well. read more

Dr. Cohen knows his stuff and is passionate about healing people. Relaxed, sense of humor, professional - all this you can expect. Even my skeptical husband had a great experience. He'll get you sorted out whether it is a achy back or a jacked-up arm from indoor sky diving. Don't know how he does it...but it is really cool! Also great for general overall health tips. Thanks Dr C! read more

Went in broken...came out fixed! Feet all better...shoulders all better. Dr. Cohen is young and knows his stuff. If you feel pain, go see this man! read more

I am in love with Dr. Chu! She is great, very friendly and knowledgeable! She was able to identify all my issues and is helping to solve them. I already had 5 sessions and was able to see the results so far. After every session feel so relaxed and toned! read more

I was attending an out of town conference and was experiencing extreme back pain. I could barely move, and the pain became even more intense with every inhale. I didn't know what to do. I felt besides myself. Even trying to get dressed that morning seemed like an insurmountable challenge, and in fact, due to the pain and being so limited in my movements, I missed a morning meeting and was even considering leaving the entire conference early. But here's the good news: I had one visit with Dr. Andrew Cohen from ProActive Chiro and experienced nearly immediate relief. Within minutes I felt about 80% better and within two days I was pain free. Being in so much pain was a super scary experience, but Dr. Cohen quickly assessed my situation, treated me with care and compassion, and alleviated most of my pain with one visit. I've never had such a thorough and positive experience at any other practice. read more

I hurt my mid back doing squats for a 1 rep max. I come from a wrestling/powerlifting background so trips to the chiropractor are an occasional practice. I happened to get referred to Dr. Cohen when I moved to San Francisco and he was able to see me within 2 hours of calling. My past chiropractors readjusted me, but it did not seem like they were in touch with the root cause of my problem. Dr. Cohen saw me and immediately knew what was causing my pain. His magical fingers found the spot and instantaneously relief was set upon me. I was laughing nearly the entire time because the relief was THAT quick, I had never felt anything like it. Dr. Cohen wants nothing more than to get you back to your training. He fixed me back, I went to the gym later that day and had one of the best workouts of my life. My training seemed much more in sync with my mind - mind to muscle synchronization. If I can help it, I will never go to another chiropractor again. read more

I have been to a few different chiropractors before, and none has really left an amazing impression until I went to Dr. Andrew Cohen!!! He is so thorough with his examination, his adjustments are natural and fluid, and he explains everything well - you really feel like you are in good hands with Dr. Cohen. I am very active with sports like surfing, snowboarding, skateboarding, etc. - I'm constantly working my body. My first visit, I went in for neck pain, and when I left I had already forgotten the pain...he even adjusted my jaw that has been mildly hurting me for years and it felt considerably better after only the first adjustment. I feel so confident in Dr. Cohen's healing ability that if you are in any pain, i would recommend you go here first! read more

I was never brought up to believe that chiropractors could help you in any way besides lightening your wallet so you didn't sit so crooked. But Dr. Cohen has helped me with the weirdest body ailments of my life so far (recurring numbness in my arm, a constantly sore foot) Neither of these were spinal ailments, but he still knew the base cause and easy ways to fix them. Of course, on the advice of my father, I went to the "real doctor" first for these problems, and both times basically got a pat on the head, a needle in the arm, a copay bill and a "take two aspirin" diagnosis. Dr. Cohen, however, spoke to me like a real human being, gave me commonsense approaches to avoiding future pain and adjusted me to rid me of the pain I felt. If you're looking for someone to help improve your general wellness, this is th eplace to go. read more

I have been seeing Dr Andrew Cohen for the past year or so. He worked on chronic issues that i have had for a number of years with surprising success. I say "surprising" because I have tried almost everything already, including prescription medication, physical therapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, and two other chiropractors without seeing much improvement. The reason for the 5 star rating though is due to a specific incident. About two months ago I started training for a marathon, slowly building up the mileage. Everything was going great and I was starting to hit the peak training mileage. Then one morning I woke up and stretched out and felt a twinge in my lower back. Over the next 24 hours it got worse and by the end of the second day I could barely walk. I thought that was the end of the marathon training, and perhaps the end of many activities for a few weeks. Dr. Cohen worked on my lower back for the next two days. The difference was incredible. I went from being laid flat on my back to running again in two days. That weekend I clocked runs of 7 miles, 5 miles and my longest training run yet at 22 miles. I felt so good after the runs I could not believe the distress I was in just a few days earlier. I would highly recommend Dr. Cohen to anyone. read more

Dr. Nancy Chu saw me for several sessions addressing back and 'tech neck' issues. She performed a variety of techniques and used tools to help alleviate a lot of the problems I was experiencing in these areas. She also prescribed exercises to perform during work and home which helped me overcome these burdens. I was very impressed of how she administered each treatment on me. Not only that, she was easy to talk to, was very knowledgable when describing the issues I had, and was able to answer my questions. I could tell that she was passionate about her work and about her patients. I feel lucky to have been taken under her care and would recommend her to my family and friends! read more

After suffering for months with a mysterious kink in my neck, I very apprehensively approached ProActive Chiropractic for a solution to my Frankenstein neck. Within three weeks of regular visits to Dr. Cohen, my neck was back to normal (no pain!) and he had resolved the other chronic ailments that pained me (knees, hips) which had accumulated over time. Dr. Cohen even indulges my curiosity with long, technical explanations for each adjustment (and then offers the layman's explanation so I actually understand.) It has been 5 months since my first visit to Dr. Cohen and I still see him regularly as part of a healthy lifestyle. A visit to the office is like catching up with old friends - with the added benefit to physical health! What sets ProActive Chiropractic apart from other chiropractic offices is that Dr. Cohen regards the body as a complete system wherein each component must operate properly to ensure the functionality of the overall system. In other words, if a tire is popped the car won't go far. Dr. Cohen is efficient but thorough. He listens to your aches and pains (about your life too) and tests your movement before making any adjustments. If you are an active person with any ache or pain, do yourself a favor and schedule an appointment with Dr. Cohen. read more

Dr. Cohen really knows what he's doing, and he is always giving me ways to improve my back and way of life. He takes the whole body into account rather than just my back. I have a friend who also goes to Dr. Cohen, and he also has nothing but great things to say about him. I would absolutely recommend Proactive Chiropractic. read more

I was referred to Dr. Cohen by a doctor friend of mine. I've seen several Chiropractors in my life, but not one like Dr. Cohen. During my initial visit I was in severe pain, I could not walk, run and I was in pain from my neck, shoulders, arms all the way down to my lower back. I was a complete mess. Instead of doing the quick temporary adjustments most Chiros do, Dr. Cohen focuses on the root cause of the issue. Each visit, he does several tests that tests your strength and movements that allow him to figure out what the exact issue is other than "my shoulders hurt." It so fascinating to see how your body works and one area can cause another part of your body to hurt. After 3 visits, which he spreads out by week(s), unlike some Chiros that require you to come 3x/week, I was in tip top condition, not perfect, but I was able to move and my pain level decreased tremendously. Although I'm not perfect (yet), he finds a way to make sure that those aches and pains do not EVER come again. He listens and really wants to make you feel better. read more

I'm pretty darn damaged. I went in to see Dr. Cohen and told him my history of motorcycle accidents, trapeze (no joke) falls and a barrage of broken bones. I've been to MANY chiropractors and there's not a one of them that comes close. I never felt rushed like I have with others, he was attentive and explained what was going on with my body... I think the best thing was that he made me feel "fixed" and that I could leave and go about a healthier life. I truly cannot convey on yelp how wonderful my experience here was. It's the day after my first visit and I feel so much better. Thanks so much Doc! read more

Wow. I had my first appointment this morning, and WOW. Like many people, I wasn't sure what to think of Chiropractic medicine, but this place was highly recommended to me. I walked in after months of pain, unable to reach down pick things up with my right arm (or my left, really). I walked out not only feeling MUCH better, but also with great explanations of why I was having issues and some exercises to start preventing future ones! I'd previously done months of physical therapy, but this one appointment gave me more relief and relevant information than all of that combined! I agree with the other reviewers that state that Magician should be somewhere in Dr. Cohen's job description. THANK YOU SO MUCH! Also- just as relevant- everyone at the office is extremely nice and super and awesome :) read more

Both my husband and I go to Dr. Cohen. We are both tattoo artists and suffer some occupational wear and tear to our backs, necks, shoulder, wrists etc. We were both in pretty bad shape when we first came in, my husband was barely able to work from chronic issues with his elbow and shoulder to name a few, and when I came in I was dizzy and cloudy, and had been for months. We went from having to see Dr. Cohen every week or two, to now just having to come in a few times a year for minor adjustments. Day to day life is much more comfortable after meeting the Dr. and his wonderful staff. I adore this place! read more

I first saw Dr. Cohen about three weeks ago due to a persistent muscle spasm on my left leg which had been going on for 10 months. I had already seen two podiatrists, another chiropractor, two general practitioners, an acupuncturist, a bone joint doctor, a spine and sports doctor, and the pain was still there. Dr. Cohen has helped me through a comprehensive approach to my problem. He got me insoles, told me to drink enough water everyday, and with his chiropractic adjustments my body is in sync now and also, I can walk without pain! Dr. Cohen's knowledge, great sense of humor and good heart make for a wonderful doctor. He helped me with a problem which some time ago I thought would never go away!! read more

This review is long overdue. I went to Dr. Cohen when I started experiencing significant pain in my legs and hips while in training for my first half marathon. I trained too much too quickly and was limping for weeks. After working with Dr. Cohen for 2 months (seeing him once a week), I completed my first marathon pain free and beat my targeted time. Dr. Cohen makes it very clear prior to starting your recovery plan that 50% of the recovery work is your own responsibility. In addition to the chiropractic "magic" that he does, you also need to make sure to do the stretching, strengthening exercises and lifestyle changes that he recommends in order to expedite your recovery. I was committed to getting better in order to run my race, so I took his suggestions very seriously. Running has been a consistent part of my life ever since , thanks to Dr. Cohen! He is GREAT and Nicole, their Office Manager, is wonderful as well. I always look forward to seeing her when I come in for my appointments. read more

When I first walked into Proactive Chiropractic I felt like I was just hit by a bus. I felt that way because I was literally hit by a commercial bus while jogging my daily route. After leaving the ER I had no idea how i would ever get back to play. To give you an idea I jogged 6miles, cycled 12miles and hit the gym for 30min daily. I was recommended by friends to come see the doctors at proactive. Dr. Schilling took the time to listen to ALL my injuries from the accident (it was a lot) and come up with a plan to get me back out to work and play. After following through with her recommendations for stretches, exercise and posture adjust including weekly physical adjustments with her I am back to jogging. They are the real deal! If they can get me jogging again after getting hit by a bus imagine what they can do with other past injuries you have. read more

Dr. Coysh is the best doctor I have ever met, not only for her magical and specific treatments, but also that she alway listened to me and care about updates of my physical and mental situation. For more than half a year, I suffered from the pain in my neck and back constantly, I could almost not even sit in front of the computer or look at smartphone for more than half an hour. The first time I went to meet Dr. Coysh, in 20 mins, my neck and back had already get released so much. Following and doing Dr. Coysh's healing exercises and posture tips, I have already gotten much better. I'm sure I will be totally recovery in a few months. I would never hesitate to recommend her services so she can help more people who have no place to turn to when they suffer from the pain. read more

Dr. Cohen and Nancy really get the job done! For about 8 months I had been trying to fix my frozen shoulder. I went several times a week to my regular chiropractor and saw an acupuncturist; I went to the orthopedist and the physical therapist, but none of them made any headway in the 8 months of trying After only a couple of weeks at ProActive I could already begin to move my arm more! Now it's been a couple of months and I'm about 80% fixed. They truly understand how the body works and how it's all connected, and what to do to get you going again. Also, they are very pleasant people and super friendly. read more

Dr. Cohen is awesome. I went to see him after I suffered nerve damage in my leg from an injury. He not only helped expedite my recovery, but additionally helped me improve my posture. My body is now healthier than before I had my injury. Aside from his outstanding work as a chiropractor and kinesiologist, he has great bedside manner and is fun to chat with. I highly recommend Dr. Cohen. read more

Dr Cohen is the best doctor I have been to! He is friendly, professional, funny and has a great bedside manor.! I injured my back and sprained a rib. He was able to take me on short notice and as soon as he started doing therapy on my back and ribs they felt much better. He also intuitively knew what forms of therapy would work best for my body. Thanks to him I am so much better! And let's not forget Vince at the front desk. Vince is also amazing. He is very helpful, courteous and very accomodating. I felt very at home with both of them. Normally I hate doctors offices but Dr. Cohen and Vince both made me feel right at home and helped me recover quickly thanks guys!!! :) read more

I found Dr Cohen via yelp and was impressed by his reviews. I went to see him for stiffness in my back and shoulders which was caused by a mixture of too many hours on planes and my training for an upcoming marathon. I was feeling very run down and less than fabulous. I needed an appointment at short notice and even though they were booked out Dr Cohen kindly extended his hours on a sunny Friday afternoon so he could see me. I loved Dr Cohen's approach. He treats you holistically and explains what he is doing and why during your treatment. After one session I was feeling much better, after two sessions I felt fantastic. I just had my third session and he told me I only need to come back if I have any other problems or concerns. Both Dr Cohen and his assistant Vince ooze positive energy and enthusiasm which is completely contagious. After my sessions I always left feeling invigorated and happy! I could not recommend ProActive Chiropractic more highly. read more

I have been to a lot of chiropractors. As I've moved around over the years, I've experienced everything from the infamous flying sevens, to cranial sacral adjustments and electrical muscle stimulation. It has all been just fine. I've met some great practitioners along the way, all of whom cared very much about their work. They did me good. I have never met a single chiropractor anywhere as talented as Andrew Cohen. He is an order of magnitude better than any other chiropractor I have ever met. And he's funny. Do yourself a favor. Go see Doc Cohen. read more

Both Dr. Nancy Chu and Dr. Andrew Cohen are amazing! They have both helped me now and each time I see them I come out feeling better! I have been to a couple different chiropractors and they don't even compare. I highly recommend them both! read more

Dr. Schilling is a miracle worker! Or at least that's what she did for me! I started seeing her after I was injured at work (lifting) and a friend recommended her services. Dr. Schilling was very thorough in our first visit, asked questions I never would have even connected with my pain! She was sensitive to the fact I was hurting and did a wonderful job explaining what she was doing to me and why. After a few more sessions on her drop table and neck adjustments my Atlas and SI joints had never been happier! Why oh why did I wait my who life to go to a Chiropractor?!? Thanks for twisting my like a pretzel and undoing years of hard living on my neck and back Dr. Schilling!!! read more

First chiropractor I've seen and have no regrets. Dr. Chu really dives deep to find the cause of your problems and fix them so they don't come back and also develops plans so you can get better at home too. After my sessions with Dr. Chu I feel like a different person and would recommend her to anyone with posture or sports problems. read more
