Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Our core service provides targeted spinal adjustments to alleviate pain and improve mobility. Using manual techniques and Activator Methods, we address misalignments causing neck/back pain, sciatica, and headaches. Patients receive personalized treatment plans focusing on immediate relief and long-term wellness without unnecessary repeat visits.
Activator Methods
This instrument-assisted technique offers a non-cracking alternative for patients preferring low-force adjustments. The Activator device delivers precise corrections for spinal and extremity joints, ideal for sensitive patients or those with chronic pain conditions requiring gentler care approaches.
Initial Exam & Adjustment
Comprehensive assessment includes health history review, physical examination, and immediate treatment. For $97, patients receive spinal mobility evaluation, necessary adjustments, and personalized care recommendations during their first 45-minute appointment with our Oakland chiropractor.
Follow-Up Visits
Subsequent appointments focus on maintaining progress and addressing residual issues. At $50 per session, these 20-minute visits include targeted adjustments, progress assessments, and home care guidance to support sustained improvement between treatments.
Walk-In Appointments
Same-day access to chiropractic care for acute pain episodes. Patients can receive immediate attention for sudden back/neck pain, sports injuries, or work-related strains without prior scheduling, ensuring timely intervention when pain strikes unexpectedly.
