Absolutely I recommend this business! Dr. Harrison is an excellent NUCCA Chiropractor. I won't go to a D.C. who cracks, pops, jerks, etc. because, frankly, it frightens me. But Dr. Harrison with his NUCCA Chiropractic is so gentle you can barely feel anything being done while it's being done, but the effects of it afterwards are very obvious! I always feel well aligned and better after coming here! His office has a very pleasant atmosphere, one that I always like coming to--peaceful and clean and bright. A very pleasant experience each and every time! read more

I'm Dr. Jason Won PT. I've met with Dr. Allen a few times and it's awesome to see the results that you can get from just a few simple tweaks to the atlas and axis. Within just 1 session, my sleep quality improved tremendously and was waking up feeling much more refreshed. I often struggled with insomnia growing up, but after seeing my alignment, the next day my sleep score shot up, was getting wayyy more restful sleep, and best yet, I was able to hit a couple PRs on my weight training. Yes you may go to Dr Allen for a concussion, headaches, neck pain, and other things. But if you're looking to optimize your sleep, energy levels, or quality of health in general, you should definitely see Dr Allen for at minimum a consult and see what he finds. I consider myself a high octane athlete and I was able to benefit tremendously. read more

Dr Harrison is a true professional. Its a small office that makes one feel at home. I was dealing with vertigo symptoms/ migraines/ dizzy you name it. Dr Harrison gentle adjustment keeps me in alignment and good health. For those who have lifelong issues with headache, migraine, and neck pain give Dr Harrison a try best in the game. read more

I have been on a long and winding journey with concussions and post concussion syndrome and I am so grateful to be seeing Dr. Harrison. He is so kind, takes time to explain everything and for me to ask questions, has transparent pricing, and seems legitimately invested in my health, even reaching out to others on my care team to coordinate care. I have only had one adjustment so far and feel great. I am excited to continue treatment with him. read more

Dr. Harrison is the best possible choice I made when I was looking for a Chiropractic Dr. to help treating my back pain due to an automobile accident. I could not sleep because of my back pain. After the first treatment, I was able to sleep better, and finally I now can sleep nicely without the back pain I had. Dr. Harrison's treatment was gentle and brief. I had my first treatment in early September this year (2022), had been seeing Dr. Harrison twice a week, and Thursday, Oct. 27 was the last treatment. I appreciate Dr. Harrison magical treatments and will recommend anyone one who need Chiropractic treatments to Dr. Harrison. Thank you, Dr. Harrison for the magical Chiropractic Treatments. I now have not problem sleeping. Panya Lee (Pan-nai-a Lee) read more

Dr. Harrison is a miracle worker. My son had received a severe concussion in October 2020. Afterwards, he was diagnosed with dysautonomia meaning many of his normal bodily functions were not working properly. For example, he couldn't sweat, his heartrate was irregular, he would pass out frequently, he was exhausted constantly. He was also diagnosed with other problems: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and Post-traumatic concussion syndrome. He had seen so many doctors. In fact, he had teams of doctors from our pediatrician's office, to neurologists at a San Francisco-based research hospital and additional specialists down the peninsula. For 15 months, we went to appointment after appointment with very little resolution. At one point, a doctor watched my son pass out (which looked like he had a seizure) on a tilt table test and he asked me how much medication my son was taking. None. We didn't know what was wrong, so we didn't know how to medicate him. Later my son passed out in a similar manner at the dentist office while getting x-rays. The dentist asked me if we needed to call an ambulance. No, there was nothing they could do to help him. Finally, a friend recommended the Balanced Atlas. We got an appointment for that same week. Within weeks of his first appointment, my son told me I needed to write this 5-star review. When I asked him why, he said because he was feeling so much better. I told him I would write the review when I could see the difference. Over the past month my son can now return to running regularly, at paces that he had run pre-concussion. He sweats again (questionable if that is a positive or negative), but I'm sure it is good for his body regulation. He now needs a normal amount of sleep. His heartrate is normal all the time. He hasn't passed out in months. And most importantly, he is happier and feeling better than he has for 18 months. He told me about two weeks ago that he is completely back to normal. Thank heavens! And thank you, Dr. Harrison! read more

I can sing praises about Dr. Harrison! I went into get an evaluation by Dr. for a TMJ issue and he so honestly recommended that for my case it was best to see a tmj dental professional before moving forward with his practice. I can see why he has amazing reviews. He genuinely wants to see you heal and has contacted me twice since I've seen him to check in and make sure that things are going well. Highly recommend him! read more

Dr. Allen is amazing at what he does. I came in not fully understanding what NUCCA was and left being very aware of how different it was to a full spine chiropractor. He did tests which showed metrics so I could fully understand the impact to the rest of my body of having my atlas being off. It's so easy to assume some ailments are a normal way of life. When you get a treatment you can instantly feel the difference and see how your body is better and simply feeling corrected. I highly recommend NUCCA and Dr. Allen to do the work. Try him once and you'll be back for more! read more

I've been disabled for a number of years with POTS and both chronic and recurrent muscle pain, especially neck pain and headaches, that worsened after physical activity or travel. Multiple rounds of physical therapy helped a little, but only temporarily. I began seeing Dr. Harrison eight months ago. A lot of things have improved - I can stand up and walk around without feeling instantly ill, I can sit at a computer twice as long, I was able to go on multiple outings with a visiting relative without feeling so sick and exhausted I'd have to go home in the middle of the first one. I can go for regular walks. I can plan to run errands and not have to put them off for days in hopes that I'd finally hit a day where I could run them. I'm considering trying to go back to work part-time, which I previously would not have thought possible. I'm also not spending anywhere near as much of my day on only-mildly-helpful physical therapy exercises, which is nice. The measurements actually correspond to where things hurt, and the treatment based on the measurements makes a direct, clear difference in the way my body feels. read more

This review is way overdue! It's been almost three years since I first walked in to Dr. Harrison's office! I can't believe it's been that long. I Had severe shoulder pain and within 2 weeks it was completely eliminated! I had that pain for three months and was 2 weeks away from getting surgery on my shoulder when I decided to try one last option and that was Dr. Harrison! He saved my life, well, at least that's how it felt! I would have not been able to keep working if I had actually went and had surgery because it would have been impossible. Anyway, Dr. Harrison was a godsend. I have continued to see him on a regular basis as often as every month in the beginning and then consistently with more and more time in between. Because I made so much progress from day one, the less you have to see him, the better you know you are getting! Anyway, he and his wife Jessica are fantastic! They're always so welcoming and they even let me bring my Italian Greyhound with me, he loves visiting them! If you have are having back or neck problems, Dr Harrison is definitely the doctor you want to treat you. And there's not even any popping or cracking involved, he just puts your head and neck and back into where it's supposed to be all along, in alignment! read more

If you are in pain it will be the best time and money you ever spent and surprisingly takes very little time to correct what feel like major issues sometimes as compared with traditional chiropractic. Dr. Harrison does amazing work. He is detailed, thoughtful and beyond knowledgeable about your body. He gets to the root of the problem so you and your family can begin to feel better quickly and with lasting results if you follow his recommendations. In addition, the office at the Balanced Atlas is beautiful, relaxing, and very clean. When I first met Dr. Harrison his practice in SF was relatively new and he had a booth at the fillmore jazz festival. I was skeptical by all the ailments he advertises that NUCCA can help. However, when I spoke to him, I quickly realized how intelligent he was and that his methodology was very logical. I am a speech pathologist and wanted to learn more for my patients so I invited him to do an in-service at our hospital and all the staff were blown away by his results, the research behind NUCCA and his level of analysis of each patient. I still did not fully understand how NUCCA worked until my 93 year old father in law was having spinal issues affecting his bowel and bladder and doctors wanted to operate. I immediately thought of Dr. Harrison and he was able to not only avoid the need for surgery but his posture and balance greatly improved along with his quality of life. Incontinence issues in the elderly can have so many terrible consequences and we are so relieved to have saved my father in law from those issues. That was about 2 years ago and he now only goes every 2 or 3 months as needed for a quick adjustment to help keep him aligned. Whenever I see elderly people with poor posture and/or seem to be in pain I wish I could tell them about Dr. Harrison. Unfortunately, NUCCA sounds too good to be true when you first hear about it. I can't believe every chiropractor is not mandated to learn this process. In addition to my father in law I finally decided to go to Dr. Harrison myself last year after doing traditional chiropractor and physical therapy multiple times in the past years for 2 back injuries which also affected my hip rotation. I felt although the other practitioners were some of the best in their field, I wasn't fully healing the underlying problem. Because Dr. Harrison was not covered by my insurance I did not go when I should have and deeply regret I lived with unnecessary pain for so long. Since I began NUCCA last year I feel amazing. I very rarely have pain in my back or hips unless I do something to re-injure myself. I also started pilates to strengthen my core which helps keep everything in place an prevents re-injury when your abs are strong. My husband was so surprised by my father in law's results and my own that he decided to visit Dr. Harrison too for mild scoliosis, plantar fasciitis and some other pains for tight muscles due to poor alignment. He unfortunately did not go regularly in the beginning due to his hectic schedule and so it took longer for him to see results. The best part about Dr. Harrison is that he doesn't over recommend frequency of visits and will tell you as soon as possible when visits can become less frequent and your spine can hold the alignment for longer and longer periods. I firmly believe in healthcare that gets to the root of the problem as quickly and efficiently as possible. In the long run investing in your spinal health now can also save you much pain, complications, time and money trying to find other fixes. Thank you Dr. Harrison for helping our family and friends. We are forever grateful!!! read more

After a terrible car crash, I found myself with a back sprain and terrible concussion that was preventing me from living my life. One session with Dr. Harrison helped my vision, my hearing, my concussion symptoms. I recommend him to everyone I know who has had a concussion. His technique worked when my other local chiropractors in the East Bay didn't relieve the symptoms. I happily drove across the bridge to see him and am super grateful to this healer! read more

Very happy with the care and treatment I receive from Dr. Harrison. A kooky (and costly) experience with another chiropractor led me to seek out a new doctor, and this time I went and did my due diligence. After speaking to a number of SF-based chiropractors on the phone and following up with in-person consultations, I found Dr.Harrison to be a kind, knowledgeable, and principled health provider--just what I was looking for. He is easy-going: his manner is gentle and sincere, I have never felt pressured into a plan. I am able to come in for a check when I feel that my alignment is off. He is thorough in his explanations: I do ask a lot of questions, and Dr. Harrison makes sure to answer all of them, even the ones not quite related to chiropractic. He is respectful of your time: if you have an appointment, you can be assured you will be seen at that time. No gimmicks, no manipulative marketing tactics. WYSIWYG. read more

Prior to coming to Dr Harrison, I didn't know there are so many different types of chiropractic styles. However, after my first visit, I am sold! Being hypermobile myself, I didn't think the traditional cracking and pulling would be beneficial for my body, so I like how the NUCCA approach is gentle yet effective. You go through an initial screening and x-rays to measure the imbalances, and Dr Harrison explains the scans to you to help you understand what is going on and what he plans to do. I started with a 6 degree tilt in my head and a slight rotation in my pelvis, and it was helpful to see my imbalances visually so I have an idea on where I started and where I need to be. After just 3-4 months, I was able to hold my alignment! There is a parking lot by the clinic so it's convenient. The environment inside the clinic is very comfortable and Jess always makes you feel welcome. read more

As a health practitioner myself, I keep a short list of chiropractors to whom I feel confident in referring my patients. Dr Harrison is on that list. I only send folks to practitioners that I myself have gone to see. My screening of Dr Harrison was an amazing experience. First of all, he's very sweet and friendly and will put you at ease. Second, NUCCA adjustments are NOT the cracking experience that many people dislike during a regular chiropractic adjustment -- it's very gentle. It feels like nothing much has happened -- until you go about your day and realize that your pain is gone. Lastly, the adjustment lasts a lot longer than many I've had. I've sent plenty of people to Dr Harrison and they've all come back happy with their care. read more

I consider myself someone into and a practitioner of the healing arts and with a strong eye towards scientific validity (had one too many snake oil schemes). Chiropractic work (up until now) had in my mind been at best a nice massage plus placebo and at worst a dangerous and scary venture (crack my bones? No thanks!). So when I met Dr Allen I was both skeptical and intrigued. Here's a guy who is both down to Earth, passionate and incredibly knowledgeable and professional about his work, and has amazing "bed-side" manner to boot (a very valuable asset when you are literally moving people's bones). I came to him to essentially test out another healing modality, mostly for emotional and spiritual wellbeing, and also to see if he could do anything about my chronic hip pain. I had broken my ankle a few years ago the fact that the leg was now shorter was a fact that could only be changed by surgery, I was told. But with my first NUCCA appointment (which, btw, is NOTHING like traditional chiropractic, no cracking at all!) my legs were the same length!! I thought it was still a scheme for a while, somehow my body conforming with the placebo effect, but then I started to notice real changes. For me it was my mood. Suddenly I wasn't so overwhelmed by strong emotions. It felt like I could still feel anger, sadness, despair, but there was some space around it, and I didn't get sucked in. And my hip has been progressively better and better too. I have started recommending Dr Allen to my clients (I am a child psychotherapist), especially kids with ADHD or sensory processing disorder who might have a misalignment, as it really does seem to regulate the nervous system. I highly recommend Dr. Allen to anyone who is interested in reducing pain, emotional suffering, headaches, and balancing the nervous system in a kind, down-to-earth, and professional atmosphere. read more

I discovered Dr Harrison 3 months after sustaining blunt head trauma, which herniated 2 disks and was causing me near constant 8-10 level nerve pain. At the time, Neck & Spine specialists, as well as Neurologists were telling me my only options were to sever the nerves, get numbing injections, or stay on unhealthy nerve numbing antipsychotics, possibly indefinitely. My skull was so sensitive to touch I could barely wear a lightweight hat without my entire head throbbing. My herniated disks were being exacerbated by nearly every arm movement. I couldn't even rest my head on a memory foam pillow, which made sleep impossible. I was feeling pretty hopeless, and was afraid I might never be able to return to work. A dear friend recommended Nucca to me. As I knew it had helped her with her previously unfixable pain, I decided to invest in the treatments, and the universe drew me to Dr. Harrison. I was instantly impressed that Dr Harrison returned my initial call himself. I could hear the sincerity in his voice. After months of dealing with specialists who clearly saw me only as a # and $, that was so refreshing. In our first appointment I could tell that I was in good hands and that he truly cared about getting me out of pain. I also noted that everyone I met in the waiting room was so thankful for his care. Within 3-4 treatments my pain was drastically reduced, I was sleeping better, and I was able to return to work much quicker than I thought I would be. Continued weekly appointments ensured I stayed in balance while transitioning back into full time work. An invaluable investment. His office manager Jessica is always so sweet and helpful. They make an amazing duo. Highly recommend. read more

Dr. Harrison changed my life. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1997. Before going to Dr. Harrison in December 2016, my MS symptoms included: * Extreme exhaustion. I was on the couch all day, every day. I could usually do one thing a day... an appointment, etc. * My cognitive abilities were affected... memory, confusion. I was laid off my job in 2014 because of it. * I could not stand light. My house was always dark. * I could not stand loud noises. I always wore ear plugs. * I could not participate in my young son's school Also, I had Migraines 4-5 times per week! My initial appointment with Dr. Harrison revealed that my skull was tilted by 37% on the atlas vertebrae. This meant my nervous system was being greatly affected. This made my MS symptoms and Migraines much worse. After gentle behind-the-ear adjustments (no cracking) over a period of a few weeks, my MS symptoms and migraines improved. I see Dr. Harrison every 8 weeks for a "tune-up". I NOW HAVE A TOTALLY NORMAL LIFE. I'm busy all day long. No more dark house. No more ear plugs. I get to participate in my son's life and am helping in my husband's new business. Life is good! read more

Dr. Harrison is the BEST there is. Period. During my second pregnancy, I was experiencing intense hip pain--caused from a traumatic skiing accident in college--that was ruining my quality of life. My mom was seeing a NUCCA chiropractor in Colorado and highly recommended it. I immediately made an appointment with Dr. Harrison and I've never looked back. That was 3 whole years ago! I owe my healthy, active, and PAIN FREE lifestyle to Dr. Harrison. Adjustment after adjustment, Dr. Harrison proves his immense knowledge of the human body and his patients' needs. In addition to the obvious health benefits, Jess, the Office Manager, is so incredibly sweet, understanding, and professional. Scheduling is super easy and the new "Zen" room addition is incredible! read more

Pain free, yay! Ok, so.I come from the school that thinks chiropractors are voodoo practitioners. Snake oil salesmen. Quacks. This probably stems from some early childhood experiences, and has no basis in reality. Actually, I can't say probably, anymore. I'm sure of that after working with Allen! (although I reserve judgment on all other quacks...er, I mean chiropractors, out there...keep reading) Are you like me? Then Allen is your man. It took him a long time to get me in, but what really attracted me was the more scientific approach. X-rays? Check. Analysis? Check. An end date to your care rather than weekly "adjustments" that you will need ad infinitum? Check. I hate anything I have to take on continuously, and many success stories were told to me about the # of visits needed to feel better, week after week, with The Balanced Atlas. So, I took the plunge, and regret that I waited so long. I don't know about you, but I stare at a device of some sort all day long. The ergonomics of my daily life are horrifying. Now, Dr. Allen is a "nucca" practitioner. It's special. It deals with the top of your spine, where your back meets your neck. (my laymen's terms, take that with a grain of salt) And that's were all my problems lie. In my neck. You know, where it feels like your muscles aren't long enough? Guess what? You don't have to live with that!!! Revolutionary. Mind. Blown. Finally, one last thing. I don't know if I have ever met a nicer, more genuine person than Dr. Harrison. It's not a factor, I suppose, in his results. But it warrants saying. Definitely a plus if you're skeptical and hate being touched like me. He'll set you at ease. Cheers! read more

The Balanced Atlas Made an appointment here for my constant neck and arm numbness/pain . I didn't have much knowledge of this practice but after the initial appointment with Dr. Harrison he clearly explains everything in detail and answers all of your questions. The website with your own alignment is great, you can see where your problem areas are and your alignment. What's most important is that within the first sessions I began to feel the relief of my pain and numbness and now it's at the point of absolutely no pain or numbness. Dr. Harrison clearly knows and cares about what he doing. I would recommend him to anyone, professional. read more

I've seen a few other chiropractors over the last few years and none of them has given me the results that Dr. Harrison has. Every other space whether at a retreat center or official practice I've been adjusted in had many other patients (open adjusting) and the DC was almost always rushed - I actually thought that was part of chiropractic - all adjustments being quick movements until I started treatment at the Balanced Atlas. As a HSP (highly sensitive person), I LOVE that Dr Harrison's office schedules patients with minimal contact between appointments and his tables are in rooms. It always feels calm which is important when working with neurology IMO. He never rushes, his demeanor is friendly and calm and he's very thorough with the measurements he takes. I've seen more improvement with him in 3 months than any other Doctor and I finally feel like my body is actually relearning proper alignment and healing. Thank you Dr Harrison! I am very grateful to have found your office. read more

Dr. Harrisons simple, fast, painless procedure noticably increased blood flow, removed muscular tension, cleared my thinking, improved balance, and deepened connection with the body. I recommend everyone get this done. read more

Did you know there are different types of Chiropractic care: The study of? I've been to over a dozen dr's and it's always been "chiropractor". NUCCA, developed over 50 years ago is completely different then any treatment I've ever had before. Only one vertebra is the focal point, C1 or the Atlas. I just went through the whole initial first visit where Dr. Harrison gets all the data then studies it. Which makes sense over just going into any office and getting twisted and cracked without even seeing what is going on inside. I wouldn't go so far to say everything is in perfect balance and I'm all healed. There's only so much a single visit can accomplish and I'm not looking for a miracle, just better quality of life. Jessica keeps the office in check and is a sun shiny person!! Her and her husband Dr. Harrison are a great team and I hope to be in optimal alignment soon. read more

I had a great experience at The Balanced Atlas with Dr. Harrison. I have practiced martial arts forever and have had multiple injuries that were never fully treated. Dr Harrison was able to diagnose and address those injuries and enable me to train again without the pain i have had. I am referring my wife and friends to Dr Harrison read more

I met Dr. Allen at a networking event and after he had given a presentation of the healing effects of Nucca chiropractic and my massage therapist telling me I needed to be adjusted - I booked myself an appointment. He is extremely thorough and asks lots of questions at the initial appointment. I didn't tell him all my health issues over the past 3 yrs as there have been quite a lot! After we did the muscle and ligament tension tests - I knew I was in the right place... My back and neck were a mess! Going onto the adjustment - I felt light headed right after the adjustment ( in a good way) my head has been feeling very heavy of late because of all the stress on the ligaments and muscles in the neck and back area - not to mention ongoing severe Vertigo episodes. I am so relieved and happy that I found Dr. Allen - after reading all the info he gave me after my 1st adjustment I have realized I should have been to see him many years ago and would have saved myself a lot of time and useless Doctor appointments! He is a miracle worker. read more

I've had multiple injuries to my back when I was in the military to include breaking it. Constant back pain, head aches, neck pains, pinched nerves, etc., and always told I was right under 5'7". After over a year of seeing Dr. Harrison my daily back pains are more monthly, my head aches have subsided, and I grew an inch and a half! What's even cooler is that he shows you how out of alignment you are and puts you back in! Versus going to some chiropractor who just cracks your bones and you just kinda have to trust they know what they're doing. Refer to http://youtu.be/wc534eAmyrw In conclusion, coming here was the best decision I've ever made and I'm so glad I came across his tent at a farmers market! read more

I probably should have posted this months ago but I've been too busy living my *pain free* life that I didn't get around to it! I started seeing Dr. Allen last year after I got a concussion (my 6th concussion to be exact). A little background - I've been dealing with awful headaches, nausea, vertigo and other miscellaneous head pain for years and nothing LITERALLY NOTHING worked....until I saw Dr. Allen. Every time I leave his office I feel like I'm walking on a cloud! My vision has gotten better, I'm much happier, I don't have to rely on sleeping medication anymore, and I'm just about headache free! No review will ever do Dr. Allen justice. So hear me out...if you're in pain of any sort, give the Balanced Atlas a shot, I guarantee you won't be disappointed!!!! read more

For many years I had painful and nagging symptoms of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. I experienced chronic upper back pain, burning, numbing, and tingling sensations in my neck, shoulders and upper back. I had been seeing an acupuncturist and standard chiropractor for years with only limited results and nothing sustainable. Finally I met with Dr. Harrison, after hearing amazing things about him through one of my colleagues, and I am seeing the best results working with him. My chronic upper back pain and numbing has decreased significantly and I no longer feel the burning sensations. At first I was being adjusted once a week and now I am holding my alignment for just about 6 weeks. He only adjusts me if necessary and the adjustments are so gentle, nothing like a standard chiropractor. My nervous system is working so much better now, my immune system is also stronger. I highly recommend using his services. In fact, I refer my clients to him. Thank you Dr. Harrison. read more

We brought our son here a few years back because he wasn't crawling at 10 months. After one adjustment he was pulling up to stand and fully crawling that day!!! Dr. Harrison is great. Thanks so much. read more

I was skeptical about bringing my colicky newborn to a chiropractor but it was the best decision I have made so far in her short life! My baby had the most painful looking gas, was all crunched up on one side and as a result was sleeping horribly. We drove from Berkeley, which was completely worth it, and as soon as she left she was a different baby. We have had to continue coming back but it's completely worth the drive. She had her greatest night sleep ever last night after a visit with Dr. Allen. Thank you so much! read more

I had a great experience at The Balanced Atlas with Dr. Harrison across all elements that are important to me when seeking professional help. Dr. Harrison is personable and professional and speaks to me about my case in ways that I can understand and relate to and generates the hope and inspiration needed to work towards improving my circumstance. His office is clean, warm and welcoming- a reflection of his work ethic and his medical equipment and supporting software is state of the art and truly impressive. Whenever I explore a new service out there, my concern is always the unknown relative to the personality and the professionalism of the office I enter, but if you are considering seeking new chiropractic support, I highly recommend Dr. Harrison and the Balanced Atlas- he truly has got your back (well, Atlas Subluxation Complex, to be more precise! :-) read more

I've not been a fan of Chiropractic as I had a bad experience with a chiropractor many years ago that took almost a year of recovery. However, the Nucca form of Chiropractic that Dr, Allen performs and specializes in is truly revolutionary. He doesn't crack your back in the conventional nature of chiropractic. Nucca is a soft touch approach that seems to be developed from a "top down" logic (i.e., if the neck is aligned, the rest of the back will follow suit). I don't really understand how it works, all I know is that it does work. And since he doesn't have to twist my head in weird and potentially dangerous ways, I feel completely safe and relaxed with what he's doing. His technique has resolved various issues I've had with my neck and back. I've even gained new degrees of neck rotation. Really, if you have back and especially neck issues, you gotta try Nucca Chiropractic. Dr. Allen is amazing at what he does. I really cannot recommend him highly enough. read more

If you want a doc that is dedicated in his craft and committed to helping you reach your health goals and live the best life possible, then Dr. Allen is the guy you want to see! I had the privilege of working with Dr. Allen for 2 years and of course during those 2 years, he checked me on a very consistent basis and adjusted me when needed. Now, anytime I'm in the San Francisco area, stopping by "The Balanced Atlas" for a tune-up adjustment is a must so I can make sure my body is always in alignment and thriving. It's also awesome that he checks a lot of kids so they can all grow up into happy, healthy adults! I highly recommend Dr. Allen and "The Balanced Atlas" to those who are seeking a higher quality of life and a health advantage. THANK YOU Dr. Allen for your great care over the years! read more

I have known Dr Harrison since he was practicing in Va Beach, VA. I absolutely love NUCCA. I am a 10 year vet of rugby and a healthcare professional so I understand the importance of caring for one's body. I am not a "crack your spine" fan of chiropractics. When I found NUCCA, I was joyed that they are not invasive like "traditional" chiropractics. NUCCA isn't as well known as the traditional so I'm excited that he moved out to the bay so I can continue to get treatments. :) read more

We visited Dr Harrison for my son Victor, who was an infant of about 11 - 12 months old at the time. Dr Harrison has helped him tremendously! Since he was born my son had several health complaints: cows milk protein allergy and he had many ear infections (5 infections within 6 months). When he was about 11 months old he had a 'stiff neck' and was crying so much because of pain. The pediatrician had no clue and told us he just had a stiff neck. Then we started our search for a chiropractor specialized in babies/children and/or neck. Before we found Dr Harrison, we visited two other chiropractors who did not help him (or perhaps even made things worse). Dr Harrison did such an amazing job. He took time to hear about all Victor's health issues, and he explained how ear infection and allergies are related to a misaligned spine/neck vertebrae. He also took time to build trust with Victor, make him laugh, so he could treat him. Dr Harrison is very knowledgeable and has a very calm friendly energy. We visited him two times per week over a period of several weeks. My son never had an ear infection again, and nor has allergies anymore. I highly recommend Dr Harrison! read more

Dr. Allen Harrison is the chiropractor of all chiropractors! From a healing bedside manner to one of the best, most effective, long-lasting forms of chiropractic care around. NUCCA is so specific and treats the upper cervical vertebrae. If things aren't aligned up here, it doesn't matter what you do to the rest of the spine; you need the top axis to be aligned. He basically treats the root of it all for spinal alignment. His methods are very well examined and measured too, so even the most skeptical person cannot deny the positive effects that happen. I am an acupuncturist and am happy to refer any of my patients to him. His technique is very good, but the icing on the cake is his personality too.
