Our treatment style combines chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue work, posture and movement analysis and corrective exercise. While getting the patient out of pain as quickly as possible is a top priority, finding the root cause of pain is the ultimate goal. Frequently, musculoskeletal pain is the the result of compensations from dysfunctional movement patterns.
Assessing and correcting global movement patterns is the fastest way to create lasting change; not just provide temporary relief. This approach empowers the patient by giving the tools and confidence to take control of their own recovery and beyond.

I had a terrific experience with Dr. Leopold, and highly recommend him. I fractured the radial head of my left arm (broken elbow) while mountain biking about six months ago. Despite months of rest, stretching and physical therapy through Kaiser, I was unable to apply significant weight on my arm and full extension was very painful and hyperextension was impossible. Worst of all, mountain biking was extremely painful for me. I was becoming resigned to a fate of permanent usage loss for my arm. With the recommendation of a friend, I went to see Dr. Leopold. At the end of three visits, I have seen

I came to see Dr. Leopold after being rear-ended at a stop for the FOURTH time. Needless to say, my body needs a lot of work. Dr. Leopold has already made a big difference for me in just 2 sessions. He knows and understands so much about the entire body, not just muscles and bones, so his approach is very comprehensive. i highly recommend.

From a professional performing artist who has high demands on their body and reasonably good body knowledge like myself, to people needing to remedy chronic long term body issues, I would highly recommend Peter. I saw him once and it was enough for me to trust his intuition and capacity for listening. He carefully and thoughtfully assessed my body and the issues I was presenting. A generous healer.

Dr Peter Leopold is the best in Oakland . My very first appointment with him he was able to figure out the underlying issue of my lower back pain. Many chiropractors will try to fix the pain but then it always comes back. My back issue was due to a weakened ankle and the way I walk. After our appointment I began doing some ankle strengthening exercises and started paying attention to how I walk and what a difference that made. I haven’t experienced the lower back pain since then. I highly recommend Peter to anyone experiencing any kind of neck or back pain. He is also really great with elderly

Since my most recent visit to your clinic, I'm now about 95% fixed by using the "chambering" exercise you recommended. The gunk you mentioned making all of that noise in my shoulder has dissipated to the point that my other should is comparatively noisier. The numbness and tingling has only occurred a few brief times in the last week, and that only happens after falling into poor posture.
From the handful of visits to your office, my bodily awareness has increased immensely and I'm sure that this will also help prevent future issues. Thank you again for fixing me and I will definitely be recommending

This is the ABSOLUTE BEST investment on my body I've ever made. Peter is an amazing healer and I'm so glad I found him.
I'm a competitive athlete and I put my body through stress and trauma regularly. 6 days a week, 3 hours a day, with 20-30 miles running. As I'm getting older, my body is not springing back as fast as it used to. More lactic acid build up and deep soreness seems to the norm and I just haven't been getting the most out of my body like I know I can.
I was looking for a chiropractor/body work healer and after stumbling through a bunch of wrong ones who only knows how to work with
