Ventura Chiropractor Brant Gerckens is located directly across the street from the Ventura County Government Center on Victoria Avenue. We accept most insurance and feature modern chiropractic techniques such as Graston, Applied Kinesiology, and Intersegemental Traction. Non-force chiropractic is available.
At Gerckens Chiropractic & Wellness Center, we view a person's health as having three components: structural health, chemical health, and mental health. If any one side of that triad is weak, it can lead to illness or injury - and only by considering all three sides of the triad can we restore health.

I am picky about Chiropractors. But Doctor and his staff are amazing. I start my visit with a massage, adjustment and eletro muscle stimulation. Dr gets alot of movement in my adjustments. Having sat at a computer for many years my neck, lower back and arms/fingers have pain. I can say that i am relieved of that major pain. The relief i feel after a visit is worth every penny!

I have never been to a chiropractic office like this. Dr. Gerckens is such a decent and talented human being who really cares and takes the time to make sure you get better. I often go in to his office stressed out to the max and come out feeling like I've had a mini-vacation. I am not exaggerating.
He is a "magic man" for pain. His care includes so many different modalities for each person's specific needs, that I am in awe. I get massages there included in the regular price of chiropractic, do a couple of his recommended exercises daily, and come to him regularly because

I find Dr Gerkens to be a uniquely talented, multi-dimensional healer who I'd highly recommend to anyone. About 15 years ago he worked with me to successfully resolve serious low back and neck issues. At the time I was very impressed with the amount of time and thoughtful effort Dr Gerkens put into diagnosis and treatment. Recently, I've been seriously impacted by GERD, hiatal hernia, and IBS types of digestive issues. After having surgery recommended as the best treatment option and consulting with several top surgeons in Socal, I decided the risk of new problems outweighed the benefits. When

Working as a RN I began having severe back and neck pain. I decided to go see Dr. Gercken after being referred by a friend. Within two appointments I had improvement in my neck pain, and now after a few months I am pain free! His office staff are all incredibly kind and professional. Dr. Gercken himself is extremely knowledgeable and takes time to get to know his patients. Highly recommend!

Dr. Gerckens is a true healer! I have had advanced degenerative disc disease for many years in my neck and upper back with troubling episodes of constant pain, severely restricted movement and sleepless nights. Thanks to his generosity of time, expertise, healing touch, neck and back adjustments, after just 6 therapy sessions I am nearly pain free, have regained almost free movement and am now sleeping like a baby. I look forward to continued therapy sessions for a full recovery. THANK YOU DR. GERCKENS.
I also want to give recognition to the amazing massage therapists and wonderful office staff

Dr. Brant Gerckens is absolutely the best in his field. A true healer who genuinely cares for his patients and does what is necessary to get to the root of the problem. I have been to several chiropractors, and not one even comes close to how much he has helped me. I drive 45 minutes to see him and it is absolutely worth it. The improvement I have experienced with my back pain is amazing! I am so grateful to Dr. Gerckens and his wonderful staff!

Dr. Gercken has been helping me through my third trimester of pregnancy. After seeing another local and top rated chiropractor with no improvement I searched for a new chiropractor to alleviate my pain. Dr. Gercken and his entire staff is compassionate and knowledgeable. They take a vested interest in you and the amazing adjustment works within a couple of sessions. I am so thankful for Dr. Gercken's support during my prenatal care. It's true that you can have a pain free pregnancy with his help. Walking or changing positions when laying down were nearly impossible tasks before I came

It's been a while, so I wanted to update my review from 2014 to let you know that its 2020 and Dr.G is still amazing! He sincerely cares about his patients and all the staff there are so sweet. I have been battling the flu and was very sore from being bed ridden. The massage therapist (shes the nicest!) gave me extra time to try to help loosen my stiff muscles. Then the doctor came in and helped me find the right supplements to feel better, along with a great adjustment. He also gave me some great advice on things for my autistic son. He always takes his time and I've never felt rushed

The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I'll usually call a day or two in advance to see if I could make an appointment and they do they're best to help fit me in. The reason I docked a star off was because some days it feels a little rushed, but overall I would still recommend Dr. Gerckens and his staff.

I am so grateful to have found this office. They have changed my life! Dr. Gercken puts so much time and effort in to caring for the whole person, not just their head, back, or neck pain. He took the time to figure out where the source of my pain came from, made dietary recommendations, supplement recommendations (and sells them for cheaper than online!), and always gives me a very thorough adjustment. The staff that work there are phenomenal as well. I will be a client for life!

I've been to many Chiropractors in the area, however none of them can compare to Dr. Gerckens.
Out of all them, he was the first to actually give me some insight on what is causing my back pain as well as giving me exercises/supplements that would greatly improve my issues as well. Where as other chiropractors, they would just give me the typical back adjustment and send me on my way, which we all know is just a temporary solution and won't actually fix the problem .
Dr. Gerckens and his staff are very friendly and I would highly recommend him to everyone!

10/10 would recommend! Dr. Gerckens and his team are so thorough and attentive to my body’s needs. I deeply appreciate their holistic approach to full body and mind health! Dr Gerckens is very knowledgeable and doesn’t hesitate to answer your questions or give you take home exercises!
I came in as a result of debilitating tension headaches, neck pain, and panic attacks and have been feeling monumentally better after almost a week.

Magic Healer! Seriously the best experience I've had with a chiropractor!

I came here two separate events. The first time a was pregnant and my lower back was so painful I couldn't walk or sit very long. I came to Gerckens and I was fixed within two weeks. Each visit I felt better and better. The second time I had a migraine for almost two weeks. My primary doctor kept giving me narcotics that only made me loopy abs didn't fix the pain. The first visit to Gerckens I had immediate relief... not 100% but enough where I was able to function again. By the end of the week I was migraine free (3 visits). I will definitely continue with maintenance adjustments.

I have suffered from migraines since I was 16. I've been to a few chiropractors and and that has not helped, but since coming here I have not had one headache in 2 weeks so far when usually it's every day. The techinques that are used I've never seen before and I am so grateful that I found gerckens chiropractors and there staff is amazing.

Dr. Brandt Gerckens is an outstanding chiropractor!
I started seeing Dr. Gerckens after a car accident in 2016; I have been a devoted and pain free patient ever since! Dr. and his staff are caring, dedicated, and professional in their field. I was also delighted to discover that each chiropractic session starts out with a hot packs and a mini-massage by the doctor's massage therapists :-) - He also practices other holistic treatments and his supplements/remedies have been an great component in my healing and overall wellbeing. Without a doubt, Dr. Gerckens in top in his field and you can

Dr. Gerckens is a true professional. I first started coming to Dr Gerckens due to a recommendation from my sister who is a long time patient. I was having extreme lower back pain and after seeing my primary doctor, going to physical therapy and taking muscle relaxers I had little to no relief. I'm glad that I gave Dr. Gerckens a visit, after only a handful of visits I feel much better and the pain is going away. Dr. Gerckens and his staff are always extremely welcoming and professional, his time in the industry truly shows through conversation and treatment. If you're in need for some

Great services, which allowed for a quick recovery. I am very happy with the care I received by Dr Gerckens and his staff! I am and occupational therapist and am particular about the care I receive. I was recovering from my second back related strain, and felt significant relief following my initial appointment. Dr Gerckens explained things to me thoroughly, gave me exercises to work on at home and overall made me feel like I was receiving the best care possible. I was also pregnant at the time and felt very comfortable in his hands.

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Gerkens and his staff. I have had several treatments over the last 3 years and it has always been more than excellent from the amazing work that he does with alignment to consultation to the healing I have experienced from the treatments. The staff is so efficient and friendly as well.
Anybody who is fortunate enough to have been seen by him knows and understands what I feel.
Thank you so so much Dr. Gerkens!

When I first limped into Gerckens Chiropractic I didn't know what to expect because I had let my condition worsen over time. Like many people, I hoped my pain and discomfort would get better on its own. I was wrong. Dr. Gerckens took the time to investigate the causes of my particular problems.
I was suffering from severe pain in my lower back, shooting pain from my hip through my leg to my foot. Also, I had a bad case of drop foot and all the classic symptoms. At that point I would have appreciated any relief for my condition. Dr. Gerckens told me he had treated other patients with similar symptoms
