Just finished my treatment plan with Dr. Rixen. He is very friendly, professional and has a great sense of humor. He explained my treatment plan in full detail and was very patient with answering all my questions and concerns. He is a wizard! I felt like I had a new back and neck after each adjustment. And the million dollar prize after each adjustment is the table with the roller ball...OMG!!! Let me not forget his awesome staff, Kasey and Maria. They greeted me with a smile every time and went above and beyond to accommodate my work schedule. I look forward to coming in the near future. read more

Years of chronic back pain brought me to Dr. Rixen and I walked out feeling better than I had in ages. On top of the actual pain relief, the visit was great and the staff are efficient, knowledgeable and, most importantly, very kind. I could not recommend Dr. Rixen more highly! read more

I really like this place. I started going several months back because I was really starting to get desperate for some relief from back pain. I started off with a few times a week and later less and less. I definitely saw improvement over time. It's a relaxed environment and the staff is very flexible which I really appreciated. The chiropractor is very nice and does a good job. I would definitely recommend this place and have to my friends and family. A++ read more

Like so many others, I highly recommend Dr. Rixen to anyone who has tension or pain. My Husband and I were recommended by a co-worker of mine and I am so glad that we went. I don't want to mumble on about our pain and tension but I went in for burning and sharp pains in my upper back as well as my wrist which is from desk work and after my evaluation, (which was explained in full detail as he was doing it) he found the issue in my 6th cervical vertebra and told me what he was going to do to help it. After my adjustments my wrist instantly stopped hurting and hasn't bothered me since. My upper back tension is so much better! My Husband who has chronic back issues and can never catch a break with pain, is also feeling amazing. Dr. Rixen knows his stuff and is very easy to talk to. Thank you Dr. Rixen for your continued support! read more

I've only been once, but Dr. Rixen is awesome. He listens and made adjustments the way it's worked best for me in the past. He's my go-to chiro now. read more

Dr. Rixen is awesome! I have a hard time relaxing when it comes to getting my neck adjusted. In fact, I stopped letting anyone touch my neck because it was causing me more pain. This is not the case with Dr. Rixen he is very calming, and adjusts me with no problems. I feel great after seeing him. I recommend him without hesitation. Rixen Chiropractic has family vibe, the office is pleasant and so is the staff! So glad I have found this practice. read more

Went for my daughter first visit she felt very relaxed and is excited for her next visit she was sore and aches do to a car accident and find a good chiropractor is hard mr Rixen has our attention thank you read more

Dr. Rixen is a first-class chiropractor, and I have been to ten other chiropractors over 40 years. He is knowledgeable, experienced, and pleasant to deal with. Most important, my back responds well to his treatment. read more

OMG! I can't believe it's this late in the afternoon/early evening and I'm not in pain. This is one of those occasions where I wish you could give more than five stars. Beautiful office, relaxing setting courteous and friendly staff and Dr. Rixen is the best! Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality chiropractic care!!!! read more

Very happy to find this place. Dr. Rixen is down to earth, straightforward, and extremely competent. As a heads up, this place has a 'community treatment' feel, which I'm a big fan of. No bells and whistles, just simple, high-quality service at a reasonable price. read more

As soon as Dr. Daniel cracked my neck... there was an immediate release of tension. A great family man that knows his stuff. Not to mention the table that rolls your back after he does his work. If I could give him 10 stars I would. Highly recommended! read more

Dr Rixen Excellent Professional service. Dr explains what's going on and how to help self at home. Thank you Cheryl Louder

Before: I've never heard a cry like that coming from me before. It was one born of unending, excruciating pain. It hurt to sit, stand, lie face up, and lie face down. I dreaded going to bed knowing that I wouldn't be able to sleep, because the searing, stinging pain wouldn't go away. After: I saw Dr. Dan. I slept that night. By the next night, the pain was totally gone: no back pain, no butt pain, and no hip pain. So, within 24 hours, I was pain-free. I had listened very carefully to what Dr. Dan said about cold packs, hot baths, movement, how to sit, and what position to sleep in. I did everything he said, and it paid off. Thank you so, so, so, much, Dr. Dan. Patti B. read more

Warning--do not let Daniel rixen touch you. Despite all the apparent great reviews... Here is my horror story. First let me start with how I have now been in recovery and out of work for almost 6 months now due to damages induced by Daniel rixen. I STILL haven't fully recovered after seeing 3 specialists and been going to physical therapy for months now. I am only 25 years old too and have no disc or nerve impingements! I went to him for mostly upper back pain and only slight neck pain I was having from working in the lab environment and sitting in chairs all day long pipetting at work. He did a 5 minute assessment and then he was already doing the whole cracking thing. His adjustments were rough .. But I felt immediate relief. he told me to come back 3x a week, then taper to 2.. And then finally one. He said he expected me to be good in less than 2 months. These numbers didn't seem personalized to me, but rather general. desperate for relief.. I followed his instructions and went in for adjustments about 2x a week. After about 4 weeks of aggressive adjustments.. I started waking up with the most stiff neck you could ever imagine.. Accompanied with this burning feeling in the vertebrae of my neck. It was immense. I suddenly lost movement in my neck and it was so sore. I went to him again to tell him what happened.. And he said he probably over adjusted me (what?!?) and he proceeded to adjust me one last time as to not "waste my time/money" and told me to not come back for 2 weeks until it's calmed down. Well.. At this point I couldn't go to work anymore because I was no longer able to lift my head or sit in a chair without this burning in my neck which went all down my spine. I took 2 weeks off.. I was no better. It was about 6 weeks later with no improvement that I finally called him and told him what happened.. He came up with some Bs and told me to come in for another adjustment (no way in hell!!!) needless to say I never went.. I went to my doctor.. Saw a rheumotologist... A spine specialist.. A neurologist.. I even got more X-rays and an MRI done. I have no disc or spine problems.. Actually everything looks normal other than the extreme inflammation, nerve damage, ligament and muscle sprains that he caused in my neck. After laying in bed for 2 months like a vegetable I was finally able to get some good nerve pain medication and muscle relaxants to be able to get out of bed and begin physical therapy. It's now been almost 6 months.. I continue to slowly improve with the help of PT and meds.. But I am still unable to get back to a normal life due to pain and nerve/muscle sensitivity and am only now starting to getting a better range of motion in my neck. This man seriously ruined my life for the time being. I am 25, lost my job, and have seen more doctors in the past 6 months than I ever saw in my life, and I just keep praying that what he did will one day finally heal and I can get back to my life. He will try to deny it was his fault, but I have told my story to countless doctors/PTs/even another chiropractor who I sought for advice.. And they all agree that it was his rough/forced adjustments that did this. I mean...it's pretty obvious. So yeah thanks Daniel rixen!!!! read more

Great place to get adjusted! Dr. Rixen is great and respectful! The staff is very friendly and really genuinely want to make you feel at home! Dr. Rixen knows what he is doing and makes you feel comfortable! He knows how to adjust you in several different ways and is comfortable with adjusting you in the way that makes you the most comfortable! Thank you Daniel and staff for being so caring and making me feel comfortable! I would highly recommended his practice to anyone! read more

Excellent customer service! I called and they said they couldn't fit me in until the next day. I explained my pain and she said come right now! So I did and the doc saw me. Dr. Rixen was and is very professional kind and not worried about working late. I got the impression he genually wants to help people. I appreciated that. He was honest and in one visit I wasn't walking crooked anymore. I still need some follow up but he was awesome! And close to home! read more

Dr Rixen, I m very disappointed your office. My friend at your office the first time today at 4 pm. Your front desk lady have so much paperwork for her to fill out. I was helping her to fill out the questionnaire on the phone. And after that your front desk lady told my friend to answer more questions on the computer. I told your front desk lady my friend have limited English that she won't be able to answer all the questions. She told me my friend need to answer all questions before she can be seen by the doctor. All patients with limited English, this is not the good place for you all to see the doctor. read more

I am lost for words on how GREAT!! Dr. Rixen and his staff is. A few weeks ago I had the worse chiropractic experience that has left me with more pain than I originally had. I have been experiencing throbbing headaches that would not go away. I called Dr. Rixen office and they were able to see me right away. His staff was so friendly and the service was great. I walked in with a headache and left without one. He is a great listener and willing to resolve any issues!! I will continue to keep going back!! Found my new chiropractor!! You will not be disappointed!! read more

About Rixen Chiropractic After reading genuine reviews of other Yelp users, I gave Rixen Chiropractic a try. I've been receiving treatments here for about 10 weeks to date, and I have been very pleased with my experience. Dr. Rixen (aka Dr. Dan) has a very cool air about him; he is relaxed, professional, and makes you feel at ease. When I asked him about his approach to chiropractic, he said to me, "I'm a nuts and bolts kinda guy," which I felt was an admirable trait about him, here's why: He can pinpoint your trouble spots without using X-rays, CT scans, and all the other expensive diagnostic procedures that usually accompany other chiropractic care offices. After my first treatment I could feel significant improvement. After 6 visits I could do anything in my usual daily routine pain-free (keep in mind I was also being careful not to reinjure myself). In closing, if you're in pain, this is the guy you want to see. He's reasonably priced, genuine, professional, effective, and an all around nice dude. The receptionist Jenny is always cheerful and accommodating. Why I got Chiropractic Care: I woke up one morning almost unable to walk. I visited the ER and all they did was give me a CT scan and a bottle of painkillers. It was nice to know I didn't have something majorly wrong with me, but I knew that unless I sought out real treatment the chances of a timely recovery would be slim. Having had a minor fender bender in the past, I knew the benefits of chiropractic care. There are a great deal of chiropractic care practitioners out there ready to give you their sales pitch and scare you into treating more often than is needed. With Dr. Rixen, there is no sales pitch, he is straightforward and will do what is in your best interest. I highly recommend his business and cannot say enough good things about my experience here. read more

Dr. Dan has been my bone doc since Dec. of 2006 when I suffered a back injury. I almost crawled in and actually walked out. I continue to see him for maintenance, and he has helped me through pain and other issues. I sent my son in law there because he suffers horrible back pain from his gardening business, and the SIL is astounded by how much better he feels when he leaves Dr. Dan's office. The office is homey and comfortable, the office manager Jenny bends over backwards to get you in if you don't have an appointment and assist you with your insurance paperwork, and Dr. Dan always makes you feel better walking out then when you walked in. read more

If you have a physically demanding job and you are usually difficult to adjust, this is the Doctor for you! First visit today, will be back!

All I can say is he is the best, I've had back pain for months. Kaiser suggested physical therapy which was good at the beginning but months have pasted and I wasn't seeing results. I decided to go to plan B and I've made the best decision. I can sleep better and wake up feeling well rested . I'd say he's the miracle doctor and I promise you won't regret it .. Thanks Doc Dan read more

I don't normally write reviews but as I checking out some other things I saw my Chiropractor Dr. Rixon on yelp and thought Doctor Dan was worthy of a Yelp. My Wife and I use Rixon Chiropractic for our alignment needs. He just gets it done. Great sence of humor and the best Doc in the area. Gives back to the community as well. Has helped me mantain full body joint Heath. Feet, Knees, Hips, Back, Neck, and occasionally my arms. Did I mention he takes my health insurance. Maybe he takes yours also. Easy to talk to and very discreet. Helped me get over a motorcycle accident. excellent treatment and recovery!!! Thanks Doctor Dan!!! read more

Love getting an adjustment from Dr. Rixen. Feel brand new every time. You won't regret seeing him!!

Great chiropractor! Reasonable fees and he fixed me up faster than previous chiropractors. Thank you Dr. Rixen.

Relieved my shoulder pain tremendously! Dr. Rixen is friendly, explains how the body works and what he's going to do to fix the problem. OMG I can raise my arm again! read more

Hands down, there is only one chiropractor you should go to and that is Dr. Rixen. So don't waste time by trying other chiropractors, just go to Dr. Rixen. He is so informative and tells you exactly what is going on with your body, and how he can help. read more

Not only has Dr Dan given me a life without back and neck pain for the first time since I was 8, he is also one of the nicest people i have had the pleasure of meeting. I would gladly drive an hour each way just to be treated by Dr. Rixen. Thank you so much for everything! read more

Dr. Rixen and his daughter have been great to work with. Very accommodating to my schedule. Thank you

To make a long story short I went to Doctor Dan because of a sever pain in my left ankle. He didn't have a clue as to what was the problem but decided to work on it anyway. His treatment included looking at the ankle then twisted the foot two times and that was it. He charged me 40 dollars for a new patient fee and 40 dollars for his "treatment". 80 dollars for five minutes, what a great gig. read more

Dr. Rixen is somehow able to get the cracks, which I associate with successful adjustment, out of my back and neck. He is friendly and cheerful and runs an efficient office. I've been very happy with my treatment there. read more

Years ago, my chiropractor passed away suddenly. I tried 4 different chiropractors and then gave up for a while. I was desperate for good chiropractic care when I started to hear about Dr. Rixen. Feeling like it may be another waste of time, I went to see him. I was pleasantly suprised to see that he was just what I had been looking for. His office staff has changed over the years I have been going to him. They have all been good, and I love Jenny who is there now. Dr. Rixen has helped me with old injuries and general maintenance. He has helped my girls with sports injuries and post surgical recovery. He has even helped my husband, who is very skeptical of chiropractic care. Although I have many chiropractors closer to me, It is totally worth my drive to see him weekly. read more

Listened to my complaints and what took my last chiropractor a year to relieve, Dr Rixen has relieved my problem in mere weeks! Good experience read more

Very happy that I went there I went to another chiropractic office earlier that day wssted$40 but this chiropractor took the pain away

AMAZING!!! I was in a car accident and my lawyer sent me here. The front office is so great with making appointments and working around your schedule. Dr Rixen was awesome! He listened so well to me and really wanted to help. I had about 30 appointments with him and was NEVER disappointed. Im so happy I will be going back once a month to get adjusted, you feel amazing afterword!!!! I also got massages here. It was great!! read more

Dr. Rixen is the best! My wife and I have been going to him for years and is the best in the business!

When I moved to the Bay area from Sacramento 5 years ago I had to find a new chiropractor, so search I did. I walked into many new offices where I felt uncomfortable, just not that "cared for" feeling you're looking for. When I first met Dr. Rixen and his staff I knew I'd found the chiropractic office I could call home. Going to appointments is like seeing a trusted friend, and it's a great feeling leaving there not only feeling better but also from laughing! read more

This Doctor is the best chiropractor I've ever gone to... And I've been going to chiropractors for over 30 years...

Dr. Rixen and his staff are wonderful and very professional. I can call anytime and they are more than happy to either cancel my appointment or move my appointment up for me. With the line of work I am in I appreciate their flexibility with me. Dr. Rixen had tremendously helped me with my low back pain and know I am seeing him for right shoulder pain. He takes his time with me and listens and gives me the best advice which is so much appreciated. Thank you Dr. Rixen for making me feel better and taking time out for me. read more

Dr. Rixen is an amazing chiropractor. He helped me understand how chiropractic medicine helps to maintain a healthy back. I first went to him to heal my back after carrying kids had left me with a sore right hip. Practicing yoga had helped but there was still lingering pain that at times left me limping.After a series of 8 treatments I felt better than ever. I go to him for periodic maintenance and when I lift things that are too heavy! He has all of the latest equipment needed to pinpoint where the problem is, but really I can walk in and his fingers go exactly where the pain is located. He is kind and affordable. He is worth the drive from Oakland to El Sobrante on any given day. read more
