I had some neck pain from working from home (bending my neck backwords hurt at first), and the process helped improve the functionality/flexibility of my neck by a lot! The adjustments helped, but I also highly recommend that you do the exercises they give you. I think the exercises were very beneficial in my recovery.

I have experienced many years of severe upper neck pain and tried multiple chiropractors. All of which did not help a single bit. I was introduced to Gonstead through a friend who was a patient at Icon.
I decided to try Icon Chiropractic since no other treatment made any improvements.
On day 1, Dr. Wu explained the treatment plan and specific findings on spinal degeneration based on X-rays.
The adjustments were hard to endure at first, but Dr Wu worked with me slowly to ease me in. After the 24 adjustments, my neck is not only pain free, but the mobility is back to normal!
I highly recommend

Two months after giving birth to my baby, I noticed an increased lower back pain, and this was when I started visiting Icon Chiropractic. I was very impressed with the initial assessment and x-rays prior to treatments as Dr. Wu explained detailed findings from the films.
After the past 5 months of treatment, I could definitely feel the difference and improvement to my Scoliosis. The first several adjustments were a bit painful, however as my body started to take in the adjustment, I surely felt lighter in spots that were treated immediately.

I had a neck pain and I decided to make an appointment with the Icon Chiropractic. I had a appointment with Dr. Richard who examine first my spine. After taking the x-ray, Dr. Richard immediately talked about putting me on the 6 month plan which would cost me over $2,000 (before showcasing his skills). The next day, I cam back for an adjustment and $99 for 5 min adjustment (3 spots C5, T5 and Sacrum). First, he could not adjust my Sacrum - he said I was too stiff so we changed the technique of the adjustment. Second he did something to my T5 and then the neck. Next day I had enormous pain in my

Dr.Wu has changed my life for the better.
When I was 17 I was in a crazy accident. My car fell on me while I was working on it in my driveway. I was lucky I didn't die. That accident resulted in me being in constant pain. On a scale of 1-10 I was at a 3-4 and once in a while it would reach a 10.
I tried many other chiropractors, alternative treatments and different types of pain medications such as Vicodin, Tylenol and tiger balm. All of it only worked for a short amount of time.
The only thing that actually helped me was when I started to practice Yoga.

I have been going to Dr. Wu for several months. I have chronic back pain that other, non-invasive methods weren't able to help with. Dr. Wu's chiropractic adjustments have really made a difference for me. In addition, he always runs on time and has been flexible with my appointments when I really needed to get in. I highly recommend ICON Chiropractic.

I am currently being helped by Dr. Alan Wu, after having struggled with years of chronic pain on multiple body parts; I have to say it's being a phenomenal experience so far, feeling better and better after every adjustment.
I'm recovering after a decade of high pain in the lower back, left shoulder and right hip, plus heavy daily headaches.
I thought I was going to have to deal with it for ever, instead Dr. Wu is taking off my shoulders 1 issue at the time, making sure my spine is aligned and in good shape.
I most definitely recommend him.

Very positive experience with Alan so far. I previously felt skeptical about chiropractors. However, he practices the Gonstead system, which is more precise and evidence-based. I did a lot of research and decided to give it a go. I've now seen him a handful of times, and will likely continue to see him for regular tune-ups.
Alan uses a combination of analyses to diagnose and treat me. First, he does a physical examination. This includes checking for swelling, pain, and range of motion. Then, he analyzes X-rays, including measuring curvatures and imbalances. Additionally, he uses a device

Let's get this out there first - I was not there as a patient seeing Dr. Wu. I am a recently graduated chiropractic student. I am currently going around shadowing various chiropractors to gain experience. I happened to hear about Dr. Wu because he volunteered to come to our school to teach adjusting techniques at our Gonstead Club. Dr. Wu graciously let me shadow him for a full day at his clinic.
It might sound cheesy, but I have never been so impressed by another chiropractor. He really pays a lot of attention to each individual case. He will always recheck the patient's condition

I've been battling a serious hip injury for over the last 6 years and chronic pain for over the last 3. I've received multiple hip and groin surgeries from highly-accredited orthopedic specialists located all over the Bay Area -- including the hip specialist @ Stanford Health. Yet, none of those surgeries helped the pain or my underlying issue. In addition, I've been tried physical therapy, acupuncture, and cryotherapy...but still no luck. I was planning on seeing another orthopedic specialist, anticipating having to receive another surgery (more serious surgery), but I was referred

Dr. Wu is the man! My old roommate got me interested in the Gonstead method from videos and articles. Ever since, I've always been curious and so glad that I met Dr. Wu. I appreciate that he takes his time to really evaluate your situation and explains everything that's happening. Since I am interested in his practice I end up asking a lot of questions and always takes his time to answer how the spine is connected to the brain and nervous system. It's really a cool thing to learn about!
Anyways, I've been in about four times now due to a sore back from traveling a lot and

I'm updating my experience with this place for a month. My first visit was 2/19. I had knee pain, neck pain and hip pain. I took a pirates class for the first time and it really triggered all kind of pain.
But, even before that, I already knew my legs are in different length because one foot always hurt when I walk long time. I have a very active pitbull and walk sometimes more than two hours with her. One day I just felt my one side foot is slightly stepping out side of my foot. And knee pain gradually developed.
I made good review about his place and his attitude but couldn't tell

I have trusted chiropractic care for 25 years, mainly for maintenance and tune-ups. Dr Wu is a great chiropractor, and has been able to sort out my neck, back, lower back and even some feet/heel adjustments. I really like the Gonstead System plus some of Dr Wu's whole body knowledge is a great addition to adjustments.
I can highly recommend Icon Chiropratic for newbies and old-timers like myself.
