These guys have always helped me when I needed chiropractic help. I like that they don't keep you coming back endlessly...the goal is to make you better. Their knowledge of PT adds additional value to helping you get better with a focus on you being in charge. read more

I'm about 4 weeks post-op from carpal tunnel surgery and initially planned to see a PT, but due to scheduling delays (3-4 weeks out), I was dealing with pain and stiffness at the base of my palm from built-up scar tissue. I found Dr. Asturias through Yelp and I'm so glad I did! He clearly has deep expertise in breaking down scar tissue to promote healing. Over the past 4-5 weeks, I've had 7-8 sessions with him. Each one starts with wrist adjustments and stretching, followed by Graston therapy to break up scar tissue and improve circulation, and ends with light therapy to accelerate healing. I won't lie--each session is painful (feels like torture at times!), but I see noticeable results within a day or two. When I first saw him, I couldn't even push press a 10lb dumbbell or squat because I couldn't bend my wrist back. Also, I was feeling immense pain at the base of the palm with any contact. After just a few sessions, I was pressing my pre-surgery weight and squatting again without pain. Dr. Asturias is incredibly skilled, thorough, and down to earth--super easy to talk to and makes the whole process efficient. Making appointments is a breeze--everything is done through their online portal, which makes it super easy to schedule or reschedule as needed. My wrist is almost fully recovered now, but I continue to go back because I keep seeing incremental gains after each visit. Highly recommend him if you're recovering from surgery or dealing with stubborn scar tissue! read more

I received treatment for an immobilizing back issue. Dr Asturias was extremely helpful in getting back on my feet towards recovery. He explained the treatment plan thoroughly in a way that was understandable. His treatment has been helpful and I feel I am on the road to recovery. The cost of treatment is reasonable considering it is not covered through my insurance. I recommend his services. read more

Was having lower back pain which I had never experienced before. I could barely walk for 10 minutes at a time. My husband recommended Dr. Asturias at SportsPlus. Within 4 sessions all my back pain was gone, Dr. A provided home stretches and recommendations along with in office treatment that restored me back to my normal self in less than 4 sessions. Couldn't have more positive feedback for Dr. A, the staff and the office. read more

For years, I have been seeing Dr. Asturias any time I have a decline in mobility (back, knee, shoulder, etc.) and he always takes the time to listen and provides a treatment plan that gets me moving again. Even though I moved and now have to drive an hour to see him, it's worth every minute on the congested highways. The pain I feel is usually connected to something else and he always gets to the root issue. I highly recommend Dr. Asturias! read more

My review is long overdue. I experienced incredible healing through the ShockWave (SoftWave) treatment offered at SportsPlus. I broke my ankle in 2019 and had issues with the healing and residual pain even after over 1 year of PT (graston scraping). I experienced more mobility, healing, and lack of pain from ShockWave than I did from all the time and money invested in PT. The coolest thing about the treatment was my body was finally able to heal itself since ShockWave stimulates your own stemcells to respond to the treatment area. I have also had massage therapy here and they truly treat you like a world class athlete. 10/10. read more

I have chronic lower back pain and need continued therapy to ensure my mobility. I have been seeing Dr. Justin Traille for 5 years now and he has given me top level care since day 1. I appreciate his deep understanding of pain management, chiropractic and sports massage. Justin has provided me with varying care from my back to my neck, shoulders and knees and I look forward to every visit. Thank you Justin for keeping me mobile, active and pain free. read more

Dr. Richard Asturias is amazing. He fixed my severe back problem in 4 treatments. I had my share of experiences with chiropractors and by far Dr. Asturias is the best! He was knowledgeable and professional. He made sure I understood how to care and fix my posture to prevent recurring issues. The office is clean and spacious. They do physical therapy as well. Online booking is a breeze. The receptionist lady was very nice. read more

I've been to countless chiropractors, but no one has been as great as Dr. Asturias. I've been in his care for over 10 years now and have recommended so many family and friends to see him. I come in with old and new pains all the time and he is not only quickly able identify the area to adjust, but he is so fast and efficient at what he does. He's never late for appointments and I'm in and out feeling amazing and refreshed within 10 minutes. Thanks for being such a reliable and great chiropractor! read more

I have been going to Sports Plus for over 20 years. I swear by them. They keep me functioning. From the montly unnlimited subscription to the taping they are the best. Recently, I tried their shockwave treatment which regenerates areas that are not ok. This helped me drastically after one treatment and was worth every penny. I would highly recommend it! Shockwave (go see Shawn...he can set you up) read more

Cannot say enough wonderful things about this place! To start, booking was a breeze. Receptionist is very friendly and helpful. Brought my daughter in after a cheerleading injury. Dr. Asturias was thorough and very knowledgeable. My daughter, being 12, is learning how to recover from injuries. Dr. Asturias guided/mentored her into listening to her body and making sure to speak up and ask questions of her doctors. He was very encouraging & she left feeling better after just one visit. He did not take a 'one size fits all' approach to treating her. It was definitely a customized approach specific to her injury. She even walked out completely impressed. Highly, highly recommend this practice! read more

Neck pain, hip replacement surgery rehab, and general stiffness. I came in for chiropractic care because of a stubbon neck kink. I've seen Richard for about a month and it's been much more than chiropractic for my neck. It feels more like rehab for my whole body. I absolutely love leaving their office because I always feel better. I have Kaiser and am allotted 30 visits with a copay of $15 per visit. I will be using all my visits and wish I had 30 more. I've brought in my 13 year old daughter for an overused foot injury (dance) and will be bringing in my 17 year old son too. He doesn't have any injuries but it doesn't matter. Preventitive care is what I'm going for. Thank you to Richard for taking care of my family! read more

Justin is simply a magician!!! I have existing back issues and 2 weeks ago I lifted something super heavy and messed up my neck too, I was in too much pain and taking heavy pain medication Until I made an apt with Justin for an adjustment. He knows exactly what he is doing and since then I have not taken any pain killer. I plan to visit him often for tune ups. Highly recommended!! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Justin Traille and SportsPlus . I was 14 weeks into training for the New York City Marathon and I injured my hip. I had only four weeks before the marathon to be able to recover. I still needed to do one more long run before the marathon. I am a nurse practitioner and never had seen a chiropractor before. I had googled sports medicine and came across a SportsPlus. When I called the office, I was impressed with the information I was given and how friendly the staff was my first visit with Dr. Justin.L Traile was amazing . Within several days of my first visit, I was able to do a 20 mile run. I continued the exercises and stretches that he showed me and had multiple follow up visits. I was able to complete the New York City Marathon with no pain. I had never seen a chiropractor before and I was very skeptical. I completely changed my opinion after my visits here.. I have recommended Dr. Justin to my coworkers and friends. I highly recommend Sports plus! I will now incorporate chiropractic visits as part of my training for further races. Thanks again ! read more

I had the most amazing experience with Shawn Brock as part of the Sports Plus Team today. I've had some serious pain my left hip and lower back as well as a lot of stored trauma I've been unable to release in my hips. I never really believed this was a real thing until today when he released it for me. I felt like 100 lbs was lifted off of me. I cried 3 times and felt like a new person when I left. I had to hug him and thank him. I can. It recommend him enough He took him time with me and made sure I felt comfortable and like I was in a safe place to release my emotions through breath work and massage. Thank you so much Shawn. read more

I selected SportsPlus solely based on Yelp reviews, so thank you so much Yelp community! Really not knowing what I was looking for in a chiropractor, I figured if I didn't like my experience, I'd find someone else. That being said, I highly recommend Dr. Asturias and SportsPlus. I've had three appointments so far, and I'm very happy with my progress. I fact, I've had lower back pain for years... not being able to stand up straight for up to five minutes after getting out of bed. And after my first visit and a very strong and relieving adjustment on my lower back and SI joints, I was able to get out of bed every morning without any lower back pain. With his experience, Dr. Asturias pinpointed the issue quickly! Going up to my upper back and neck, it's taking a few sessions to get things moving right again but I feel improvement in my comfort level and range of motion after each session. I also appreciate the fact that the doctor is also an athlete, and he understands that we also do sports and activities which punish our bodies. Not once has he criticized or advised me to stop any of my activities. Instead he is enabling me to be a healthier and durable person. The office manager, Alana, is also very nice. She answers all my questions on the phone before my first visit, and greets customers promptly upon entering their office. I wish I had done this years ago with SportsPlus! read more

I'd been having pain in my right IT band for years. My husband recommended Dr. Asturias, and I waited months before I made an appointment. After three sessions, I am back walking and running with no pain. Dr. Asturias is astute, knowledgeable, and helpful. He was able to diagnose and treat my issues immediately. I wish I had come in sooner! Dr. Asturias is a fantastic healer. Highly recommended! read more

Shawn Brick I recommend to anyone who needs help with ART and knowledge of the muscular system ! He is kind and listens

These guys are amazing I broke my wrist 7 years ago and have had pain ever since and now I don't I can actually do a push up, they are not scared to adjust you and I love that!!!! Richard is awesome!!!! read more

Shawn Brock is one of the best practitioners I have met! As a woman with trauma-induced pain in very personal areas of my body, I was nervous to see a male therapist - but I was instantly put at ease with his commitment to consent, clear communication of his methods/process, and his compassion for my healing process. He also employs trauma-informed methods of relaxation and pain management, which was a really helpful way to understand the psychological roots of my pain. Not to mention he is extremely personable and friendly and you always leave his table feeling calmer, both physically and emotionally, after each session. Thanks Shawn for helping me heal! read more

Shawn Brock is amazing at what he does he always finds right where it hurts and works his magic on relieving pain and soreness! I always highly recommend him to everyone I know. read more

This place is a heaven! If you have any kind of pain, go to Justin. I was suffering from sciatica since last 6 weeks. I was unable to walk even. I saw justin 6 weeks back and his therapy worked miracle for me. After 6 weeks, I am back to running :) very reasonable, professional and friendly place. I works highly recommended Justin. read more

I came in limping and left walking like a normal person! Thank you Dr. Asturias! The full story: Two+ months ago, while running, I sprained my ankle and broke the 5th metatarsal on my left foot. While the fractures healed well, I was still having trouble with ankle mobility, balance, etc. Furthermore, my second toe suddenly started to hurt so much when I walked that I had to limp around due to the pain, which also prevented me from doing my rehab PT. I stayed off my feet a few more days, but the pain did not subside. I was pretty discouraged and pretty cranky about the whole foot fiasco. Referred by my friends at Pleasanton Fleet Feet, I sought care from Dr. Asturias. His office is conveniently located, plenty of parking nearby and is clean and pleasant. His staff are all helpful and very professional. Following a comprehensive series of questions and a careful physical exam, he took several actions with my bad foot (he referred to it kindly as my "healing foot") and leg: manipulation, deep tissue massage, more work on the tissue with a special tool, and application of Class IV laser on the trouble spots. He then ushered me into the exercise area and carefully showed me several physical therapy exercises to do at home, making sure that I understood proper technique and was doing them correctly. He is extremely knowledgeable/excellent about explaining the anatomy, bio-mechanics and the Why behind what is going on with my "healing" foot. (I'm a curious person so that works well for me.) By the time I left his office, my foot actually felt significantly better and while doing some errands afterwards, I noticed that I was not limping anymore and the pain had subsided substantially. Somewhat miraculous! I feel hopeful that I will be running again soon. Thank you again, Dr. Asturias. read more

Justin is the man to go to! I've had a history of back and neck pains and after each visit I feel better, not only he treats me he tells me the stretches to do at home which provide long term solutions. I would highly recommend him, he's great! read more

Shawn Brock has chosen to use his enormous talents and time as a healer of his fellow human beings. I am 34 years old and have never been as healthy in my life than I am now as a result of his mind and hands. He has systematically through feeling unraveled the injuries that have been encoded in the structure and dynamics of my body. If you seek help with such things or have lost hope that you can be healed I suggest that you call Shawn Brock. To me this man has been a gift from God. read more

Dr Richard Asturias was recommended to me by a very good friend and I will forever be greatfull to her for the recommendation. My lower back has always bothered me off and on since I had my children 39 years ago. So I've learned to adjust and try not to do anything to have a flare up. Well it just happened about a month ago I woke up with a pinched nerve and could hardly move. That's when my friend recommended Dr Richard and he not only relived me if the pain I was in by but I have felt remarkably better in my back. He really knows what he's doing. Don't accept pain like I did for so many years, make an appointment and allow him to help you live a better life. Thanks again Dr Richard. He'll always be my tune up guy for my back when the back evert needs an adjustment. read more

Justin @ Sports Plus has really helped rehabilitate my back! He's knowledgeable, friendly, and really good at listening to your challenge at hand and figuring out the best way to address it on the spot. He represents modern chiropractic care at it's best! I will definitely be continuing chiropractic care as part of my overall wellness routine going forward, not just when I have an injury. This place is 'best in class' and accepts insurance. The front office manager is sharp and dialed in as well. Awesome all-around! read more

I made my appointment with Dr. Richard Asturias. Went in with skepticism to see if this method will heal my knee and back pain with proper posture adjustment. I've gone to physical therapy before but not much help to the root cause. The first visit was mainly for assessment, minor adjustment and some Q&A. To my surprise, I felt better aligned after that one session. For the next session, I was getting some good coaching strengthening exercises. The only thing that I did not like is the push adjustment. It caused a big bruise on the side of my thigh. Based on the phone video that I took for the exercises, I noticed that the doctor is wearing a HOKA brand shoes. So I went to get me a pair. That shoes and daily walking for 30 minutes are the answer to my recovery. Overall I appreciate Dr. Richard's willingness to answer all my questions. His is knowledgeable and a good coach for patient's wellness. read more

I have needed chiropractic care my whole life since I was in high school. Most of them just adjust my back and use tens units and lazer. I have had chronic low back right hip pain. My back finally said enough and made me unable to move for 2 months. A massage therapist referred me to Dr Richard. Dr Richard gave me exercises that work and also did a lot of physio therapy and core exercises that I have not had explained to me before. "tall spine tight core" All I can say is try him. His goal is for you to not need him anymore and as long as I keep doing the exercises I won't need to see him often or hopefully at all. read more

I am 5' 9", moderately overweight and fairly active physically. I workout in a gym 5 days a week, bike or hike 1/2 days a week. I used to run a lot a decade ago and busted my knee and ankle and had to give it up. I have been to multiple PT sessions and tried various different things in the past. I have visted a Chiropractor once, but on the first visit, they showed me a 20 minute video of how all I could get paralyzed. I never got a treatment and never went back. At my gym, I stupidly competed against a fitter 72 year old and dead lifted a weight I should not have and my lower back, which used to bother me in the past immediately acted up. I am currently preparing for a backpacking trip in late Sep and I have been hiking with 35 lbs on my back, so I wanted to make sure I don't end up crippling myself. Dr. Richard Asturias was referred to me by my colleague, who is a bicyclist and a racer. My colleague mentioned that Dr. Asturias himself is an avid bicyclist and knows his stuff. My first visit was an hour long. Richard loves his work and enjoys talking about how the body functions and why we get hurt. Thankfully, there was no video talking about paralyzing myself. He explained how to achieve optimal strength and do the fun stuff we like without injury, we need to have two things; better mobility and increased core strength. For mobility, on my first visit, Richard did a couple of adjustments. He explained what makes the popping sound (it is air and not bones) and set my expectations right. He then spent 20 minutes showing me core strengthening and stretching exercises. I went to my gym and I noticed that I was moving a lot more freely, as if someone had oiled my joints. I was surprised. I used some of the core strengthening techniques and every exercise felt different. My squats had a lot more power. My curls felt the way they should - on my biceps. Just about every exercise I did had an edge to them. After my second visit, I noticed that my feet were a lot straighter. Almost all my life, my feet were splayed out. PTs told me that my hip abductor muscles were not strong. No amount of training fixed the problem. After my second visit, I thought I was walking straighter. I then went on a 8 mile hike on Rancho San Antonio trail with my backpack. Usually at the end of such hikes, my knees would be very painful. This time, my knees were fine, but my calves were on fire. Richard explained in my third visit that since he adjusted my spine, my hip is now relaxed and more mobile. That freed up the legs to straighten, which meant that the legs did their job as they are supposed to instead of transfering it all to my knees. The calves were being used the way they are supposed to and since they are not used to this, they hurt. No wonder when I ran with these feet I busted my knees and ankle. I had mild back pain at the gym and so I have had couple more adjustments with Richard and I feel better each time. I have learned the proper way to stretch, use a roller and advanced core strengthening exercises in the process. I wish I had known Richard 10 years ago. He has already made a huge impact in my life. read more

I worked with Richard for some pain in my shoulder that wouldn't go away. He very friendly, and was always very transparent about what he was trying to do and what his goal was, and made some unavoidable painful moments a lot more bearable than they otherwise would be. Overall, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend him to my friends. (And, of course, he helped with my shoulder pain and helped fix my posture to prevent future pains) read more

Dr. Asturias is the best chiropractor I've ever been to. I've been getting chiropractic care for more than 15 years now, and he's been able to adjust my neck every single time (even when it was inflamed from me pulling my neck.) I love how he uses his time to adjust, stretch and teach me exercises to maintain comfort between visits, instead of trying to fluf the visit with "treatments" that was done to be billed to my insurance. Do yourself a favor and give him a try. read more

Worth the trip! I frequently travel to the Bay area for work. I love my job and travel, but what I look forward to most is chiropractic adjustments at SportsPlus. The treatments provide me pain relief and increased mobility. Most amazing to me is how thorough the adjustments are. Dr Richard Asturias has been able to adjust a stubborn old injury that other chiropractors have not. I feel long term healing, in addition to immediate relief. read more

I've never been to a chiropractor before today. My lower back has been hurting for years, since I was a teenager. But it just never seemed worth doing anything about. The pain usually goes away in a week, give or take. And I've been an endurance runner (though my short mileage these days may make that term laughable) for most of my life. But I'm getting up there in age now, and for the last 11 days straight, my lower back on my right side has been hurting non-stop, with the pain starting to spread to the right side of my butt, and also down the back of my thigh. Tomorrow I leave for a 16 trip, most of which will be hiking a section of the PCT. Admittedly, one of the shortest sections of it, but still, it's a daily hike and I was concerned about the pain getting worse due to the daily trekking. Luckily, SportsPlus had a cancellation, so I booked the appointment, went early, filled out the paperwork, and waited for just a few minutes for the previous patient to leave. Dr. Richard Asturias saw me after the kind receptionist took my information. After asking me several questions, and doing some tests, he let me know that my issue was largely a muscular issue, and not a nerve issue or herniated disk issue. He was honest in stating that without an x-ray or MRI, there's no way he could be certain, but his experience told him that the tests he did do revealed likely muscle issues, and maybe joint issues. Apparently, I've lost some range of motion. There isn't much motion. he ran several more tests, twisting my joints, testing reflexes, etc. and also running me through exercises I could do. All the while, he explained what was going on, what he was testing for, what things he was looking for, what he was ruling out with each test, ultimately, what he believed was going on. He had me try some exercises to see if things changed as well, and I genuinely felt less pain. The strong consistent ache plus shooting pains were both significantly reduced. Hard to believe how much better I feel, and glad to have DC Asturias work with me today, especially as it was a same day appointment, the day before a long trip. read more

Chiropractic care isn't only for your spine! Dr. Richard Asturias has been working on my wrist that I fractured 5 years ago, and it has greatly improved in only a few sessions. He's very knowledgable and will explain what stretches/exercises you could do on your own to help with your issue. The laser therapy he used on my wrist was also great for promoting healing. Highly recommend SportsPlus. read more

This was my first time ever going in to a Chiropractor today. My husband is going to Dr. Richard for many years. I ran in my back pain for a week. after that I could not even get out of bed.I was feeling extremely painful and uncomfortable. I am glad my husband took me to see Dr. Richard after just one visit the pain has been greatly reduced, in fact I have my mobility back! Dr. Richard is Very knowledgeable, professional and excellent results . I would have no hesitation in recommending Him to anyone. read more

Finally found a good and honest place to recover the care I desperately needed--I regret not making my appointment years ago.
