Rockridge Family Chiropractic

read moreRockridge Family Chiropractic has been serving the Oakland and East Bay area for over 30 years, helping bring relief and wellness to thousands of patients through safe and natural chiropractic care. Oakland chiropractors, Dr. Doug Ross and Dr. Virginia Frederick, husband and wife team at Rockridge Family Chiropractic, have taken care of a wide range of injuries and ages, from babies to 90 year olds, and from all over the Berkeley, Oakland and East Bay areas. Chiropractic adjustments, the term we use for the correction of back, spine and nerve problems, are the primary means we use in treatment, but we also teach patients how to support their alignment and return to health with simple structured at-home rehabilitation exercises.

The approach we use is based on our clinical judgment and years of experience. This handheld instrument delivers a carefully measured and directed thrust that is many times faster than is possible by hand, so less force needed. This is a system of spinal evaluation combined with a handheld adjusting instrument that delivers a consistent, low-force thrust. After studying the relationship between your skull and spine, our instrument uses a gentle percussive force to move the uppermost bone of your spine.

Some treatment may begin at this time, or the exam findings and diagnostics may need to be reviewed first. The first few visits take a little longer, but routine visits are quicker, and easier time wise. It's worth the extra time at first to really find out what you need, and direct treatment to your particular situation.
