I have been going to chiropractors for nearly 20 years. This is the only experience I have had that has made a dramatic improvement. Part of the readon is that I have been misdiagnosed with a shortened leg when it was actually a misaligned neck. His office staff is very kind and Dr Tao is absolutely amazing. Very personal, old-school style. I highly recommend him. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Tao for over 20 years since I was left with a herniated disk in my lower back at the age of 16. I call him "The Tao Master" because he is truly a healer! Not only is he extremely skilled, precise and intuitive, but he possesses a calming energy that has you leaving feeling relaxed and restored. I recommend him to everyone needing chiropractic care - especially those who do not love traditional "cracking" methods. read more

I have been going to Dr. Tao for over 20 years for realignment and adjustments to back, hips and neck. My hip was off 3'' when I came in the first time, it took time but no pain when he got everything in adjustment. It is a nice feeling when you can stand up straight, which I never did as a child. I still going when I feel off and throw my back out. Dr. Tao is the best chiropractor around and he understands the body and how to adjust it with out doing damage the body. Both my husband and children go to Dr. Tao and we do recommend him to friends and family. read more

I went to many doctors, physical therapists, and even had an epidural. But I found no relief until I found Tao Family Chiropractic office. I would highly recommend him. read more

I have had chronic pain, neck & shoulder stiffness, and numbness in my hands for more than 2 years due to cervical degenerative disc disease. A couple months ago it got even worse when I couldn't sleep because of numbness in my hands. Pain killer pills, Salonpas, Biofreeze gel, physical therapy, and cracking/popping my neck didn't help much. Then Dr. Tao basically saved my life when I saw him on 3/13/23 for the first time. His NUCCA technique is very gentle yet very effective. My neck pain, neck & shoulder stiffness, hand numbness, and even lower back pain were gone immediately after the first visit - so amazing! I am so happy that I can sleep thru the nights without waking up due to numbness in hands. I wish I had found NUCCA & Dr. Tao years ago. Thank you so much, Dr. Tao! read more

The first time I visited Dr. Tao was in 2007, came here on the regular (1-4x/month for 3 years) for adjustments, muscle therapy and massage. Dr. Tao has kept my spine aligned and in check for six years now. He understands the body and relates to athletes especially, being that he's one himself. His work isn't a short, quick thrust to a localized area sort of chiro visit. Dr. Tao's chiropractic work influences the entire spinal columns postural balance by returning the heavy head to a more balanced position on top of the narrow neck, known as NUCCA. http://nucca.com/ Ironically, the way he adjusts the spine reminds me of Judo moves- his stance, the way he approaches the table to apply techniques; he are gentle, yet precise! He measures your hips and legs before and after each adjustment. Its no wonder I have migraines, a lot of times my hips are off by a full degree prior to adjustment. Once everything is aligned, so am I. I try to schedule my appointments so that my that my adjustment is followed by my massage this way my body is warm and relaxed for alignment. Ive had several forms of therapy combined on the day of adjustment involving heat and or cold and muscle stimulation to help with my strains. Don't leave home without the hot/cold gel packs & bio freeze, perfect for tension and achy muscles while away from the doc. read more

Tao Family Chiropractic - Thee table! - Chiropractors Near Me - Camarillo, California

I called the office to make new patient appointment. When I arrived I gave the receptionist my Medicare card. All chiropractors are required to take Medicare. The receptionist said Medicare won't let them accept Medicare on the first visit. The charge today will be $245. I was really sad they were lying to me because the average Medicare reimbursement is $38 according to google. I called Medicare and they told me the office lied to me. Medicare pays from the very first visit. read more

My husband swore by Dr. Tao, as did a few other people I'd met. So after living in serious pain for about a year from something as silly as putting a child in a car seat, trying out all kinds of stretches recommended by physical therapists and taking many NSAIDS, I finally went in to give Dr. Tao a try. I was at the point where I couldn't turn my head more than 20 or 30 degrees, and I had once woken up unable to lift my head. That was scary. My upper back hurt to the point where breathing was painful. When he did his thing I felt like he was doing almost nothing. I had such a hard time believing this was a treatment. I thought, somehow this genius has had Camarillo fooled for over 30 years, I'm being taken for a ride. I think I went twice, once and then again a week later. But I was 100% better for the first time in a year. I don't understand what he does or how it can be so effective, but it works. I've seen my husband unable to stand straight and then Dr. Tao fixes him like it's nothing. It's the craziest thing. I hope he never retires! read more

My chiropractor was on vacation and suggested Dr. Tao. I had an unpleasant experience because I'm on MediCare with Medicaid. The office insisted I had a balance due on my deductible. Medicaid pays my premium and deductible. The information below comes directly from the Medicaid website. "Premiums and Deductibles:" "Medicaid can help pay the premiums and deductibles for Medicare recipients or for those who have an income lower than 100% of the poverty level or if their income level is below twice the standards of SSI." It is my opinion Dr Tao's office has surreptitiously discriminated against me by asking me to pay more than the $10 co-pay. read more

Dr. Tao is a genius! I have suffered from muscle spasms for a long time and finally I feel like I might have long-term relief. Nothing changes overnight, especially not years of bad posture, stressful situations and lack of stretching! His office staff is very nice and they have amazing masseuses, too. They are a one-stop shop for better back health. read more

Dr. Tao is an amazing chiropractor. His technique is out of the ordinary. He is not just great in what he does, he is also a very kind man and has the best bed side manners. I have recommended him to several of my friends and co-workers and they all agree he is really the best. read more

So here's the deal about your spine: the "atlas" (C-1) is the alpha vertebrae. I read a lot about cervical alignment before I went to see Dr. Tao. I had physician friends who normally pooh-pooh chiropractors, go out of their way to tell me the cervical-trained chiropractors are on to something. So I went to see Dr. Tao. World-class professional. No big promises; let's just take some cervical films and see what we have. There was no cervical train wreck but there was a 3-degree, right-sided rotation and a 1-degree tilt. So Dr. Tao does a gentle but very focused on C-1 and only C-1. So snapping or cracking, and guess what? Hips line up, leg length even, and headaches and positional dizziness down to near zero in two weeks. I have a new sense of balance. In my opinion, Dr. Tao is the real deal... read more

I began seeing Dr. Tao in 1999 and have NEVER thought of returning to "routine" chiropractors. His adjustments (N.U.C.C.A.) are very specialized and precise. When you meet Dr. Tao, you will immediately realize he cares about getting you back to better health and helping you become pain free. He doesn't want you dependent on "preventative" adjustments and on his treatments to feel better. Many chiropractors have required multi-return visits and charged outrageous amounts for treatments. Dr. Tao is not that type of spinal doctor. He simply wants you to return when there is something out of alignment...that's it. It's an extremely trustworthy part of his practice which is often difficult to find with other chiropractors. He is the ONLY person I recommend to others and the ONLY chiropractor who has helped me with chronic headaches and symptoms from scoliosis. Dr. Tao...YOU are the greatest! read more

We recently moved to the area and have been hesitant to look for a new chiropractor, since the one we left was amazing. It soon became apparent that we needed treatment, so I went to Dr. Tao. Dr. Tao explained the importance of cervical alignment and took three x-rays to determine to course of treatment. After about four treatments, my back, hips, knees stopped hurting and I was able to resume my workouts and runs. My severe headaches were eliminated. Dr. Tao sees me on an as needed basis. I now take my daughter to him and he has really helped her body to cope with various aches and pains associated with ballet. I highly recommend Dr. Tao for his professionalism and integrity and care for the patient's spinal health. He has a lovely staff and always runs on time. read more

I have had pain in my upper back for almost ten years now. Tried everything - surgery, accupuncture, physical therapy, etc. I started going to Dr. Tao in Nov. 2007 and started feeling real relief from the pain within the last month. He does upper cervical chiropractic, not the twisting and cracking kind of chiropractic. Give it a try if nothing else has worked for you. I just figured it would be one more thing that didn't work, but it really has helped me a lot. Also Dr. Tao is such a nice, personable man, very caring, and his receptionist is very helpful and friendly. read more

I would recommend Dr. Tao and his entire to staff to anyone that is looking for a Chiropractor and professional massage therapists. The office very clean, comfortable and inviting. Katie, who runs the office is so sweet and warmhearted. She always engages in conversation and eye contact (which is so important to me). Having said that, this just makes the overall experience TOP NOTCH and I find myself coming in as often as possible. Being in the beauty industry, taking care of my body is super important. Regular and preventative maintenance is exactly what the Dr. ordered...it's amazing how much it has helped me! read more

I have horrendous facial nerve pain, The only drugs that help it have severe side effects. I found out about NUCCA chiropractors from a website for people with my kind of pain. I went to Dr. Tao and got immediate relief! He is a wonderfull, caring man along with being a terrific doctor. read more

A gal at the office went and swore by him. A second person went and said the same. I had a current chiro I liked, but neck pain for two years. I finally went. A miracle worker. The first treatment I asked if he was just "demo-ing" what he was doing or doing it. He said he was doing it. I was skeptical. I didn't feel a thing, but mentally committed to three visits. Second vist, again skeptical, didn't feel a thing. Third visit, maybe I felt a little better, but couldn't tell. Scheduled a 4th visit. THEN.. I drove my normal route to work and noticed I could crank my neck to look for oncoming traffic without pain. OMG! I go back every 6 months. This is not your 3x a week guy. Now I referred a motocross rider who has multiple sports injuries. He swears by him. Amazing, amazing man. And yes, incredibly nice, always on time, always available. I am glad I live nearby! read more

I have suffered from back pain for many years as a result of a motocross accident. It is now gone. I tried everything and this is the first thing to work. I referred my Mom who has suffered for over 20 years. She is 2 months in and feels better than she can remember - not pain free, but lots better. After the first visit I was not sure because it did not feel like much was done, but after about 3 weeks the muscle spasms stopped. After 2 months I was back to riding without having to spend the next day inactive and in pain. Highly recommend. read more

I have had neck and upper back pain for 20+ years and have tried just about everything. I work on a computer 8 hrs a day, which aggravates the pain. I also have a zero curve in my neck. I have tried all kinds of chiros, acupuncturists, different beds, different pillows, massage, heat/cold packs, physical therapy -- you name it -- I have tried it. I was referred to Dr. Tao a few years ago. Thought I would give something new a try. It took a while for me to hold his adjustments (which are very gentle). However, I am now pain-free on a daily basis. However, I do have the occasional flare-ups and I do have to manage any new activities. This will be something I will live with the rest of my life. I am now using a home traction machine which Dr. Tao indicates will restore the curve in my neck. As long as I continue to use it, it helps me stay flexible and I hold longer. Truthfully, this is the only thing that has worked. I still use all the other modalities when needed. I tell everyone about Dr. Tao and upper cervical correction. I am truly fortunate to have such a wonderful man so close to home. He is also a joy to work with and talk to! He is better than a psychiatrist!! Kym read more
