Sports Medicine near Berkeley

“I was impressed by the care and analysis taken by La Foot staff before they tried to sell me anything. After careful listening to my athletic needs, habits, and deficiencies they recommended a shoe that turned out to be ideal for my needs. The initial experience was so positive that I returned for gym specific shoes and ortho inserts for my Haflinger cork slippers. 6-months + into wearing the first shoes I remain totally satisfied. If you visit La Foot Plus be sure to go well before closing time. At the end of the day they respect their staff's non-work time by closing promptly at closing time, if not a little before.“

“Tara is extremely knowledgeable and fun! I couldn’t ask for a better PT. I have the use of my arm after a few sessions with her. Would not want to lose this relationship with her.“

“Excellent experience all the way around. The front desk clerk understood my insurance plan and explainedbto me how it workes. That was very important to me so I had no unexpected cost. The doctor I can't say enough about him. Just absolutely amazing. Really knows his craft and comes up with wonderful after care plans. I definitely would recommend this chiropractic office.“

“I’ve worked with Dr Jess on several injuries related to long distance running: knees, feet, and ankles. She has always been able to help me get back to the sports I love quickly.In 2019 I had to take 10 months off of running due to injuries. Nothing I could find online was working for me and it didn’t get better with rest. I saw Dr Jess in early 2020 and she helped me identify and treat my IT band syndrome. I finished the year with over 1k miles and by 2022 achieved a long standing goal of mine to run a trail 50k in under 5 hours.What I like most about her approach is that she really teaches you how to improve form, strength, and flexibility on your own with exercises that I found easy to follow after the sessions.I will definitely see Dr Jess again if I have problems in the future.“

“I've gotta say that I've come twice for major things to Dr. Davis. And both times he cured me one time it was for a back issue. I had over a long period of time and it took about six sessions till I was fine. The other time I went in there with something that hurt my knee for a couple months, and he fixed it in one visit.“

“My first visit to Dr. Basco's clinic was 2011 when I was looking for a chiropractor for my neck adjustment that cause tingling and pain in my fingers. The machine decompression is very helpful to align my whole spine. I feel a little taller every time my spine was stretched. I also
brought my two kids for spine adjustment. Love the frontal water view of the clinic and lots of parking space. Dr. Basco is kind and attentive to the patients need.“

“Amy and Iris are the two PT's that I've seen at Back to Life Physical Therapy; they both are very knowledgable, and thorough in their explanations and guidance. In addition to their abundant knowledge in the specific area of pelvic floor, the extra care and time they put in to really listen, understand and then instruct me have been what distinguishes them in the field of physical therapists. I have improved since starting to work with them (a year ago). The office is kept clean and neat, and is full of natural wood, natural light, and includes a library of pertinent material. Colleena, the receptionist/office manager, is a wonderful and personable and efficient part of the team. I highly recommend this practice.“

“Dr. Prins is an amazing practitioner. I went to him after recovering from cervical disc replacement surgery. Also, I have double severed inoperable rotator cuffs. He has helped me get back to full function physically. I’ve seen half a dozen chiropractors. Charlie Prins is definitely the best. I highly recommend this practice.“

“TJ and Sergio at Belden PT are awesome. They helped me get back from a torn ACL and MCL. Very personable and caring, clean shop, and great service. Would definitely recommend.“

“I used to see Dr. Gregory regularly in San Carlos after a car accident, but I moved to San Francisco, and only saw her for chiropractic "emergencies" since it was definitely a schlep (that she is well worth). I am so incredibly glad she opened up an office in ActivSpace in the Mission in San Francisco! You can't beat the care. She is also inexpensive compared to other chiropractors in SF.

Dr. Gregory always figures out what the underlying issues is and is usually able to fix it. She is like House (Like Hugh Laurie, except doesn't always misdiagnose everything as Lupus). While it says she's a sports and extremities chiropractor, she really is amazing at diagnosing underlying issues. For example, my rheumatologist and endocrinologist were stumped for 9 months, she helped identify my issue as primary hypoparathyroidism. Most recently, she fixed my carpal tunnel syndrome and saved me from unnecessary surgery. Turns out, my second rib was out from a 30-year-old injury.

Although she doesn't take my insurance, she is so worth paying out of pocket (i could submit the superbills she provides, but my insurance is terrible, so I don't bother, as she really is affordable).

I couldn't recommend Dr. Gregory any higher.“

“Nancy is so professional and accommodating. As a new patient for services, I didn’t expect to be seen so quickly. The chiropractor, Jason M. Morganstein, DC, consulted me , without rushing, and did not charge me.
I have since have had four visits. I look forward for more treatment.“

“Always amazing experience! Dr Aaron has helped me immensely over the years with various issues; when others couldn’t help me Dr Aaron has the answers. The staff is great and very helpful. And the complimentary birthday massage is incredible. Eligio is a gifted healer too.“

“Dr. A has been amazing for my migraine treatments! His approach is always tailored to your specific needs and he aims to provide a holistic approach to pain management. I absolutely recommend his practice.“

“I’ve been coming to Dr. Ben for a couple of months now, and he’s the best chiropractor I’ve seen. He takes the time to really get to know you and understand what brings you into the office. He really cares about his patients.I’ve noticed a big difference since starting treatment. Highly recommend!“

“I started seeing Dr. Jenny Nieters in June 2024 and she has helped me tremendously. I was a soccer goalkeeper at the University of Southern California and she has seen me through multiple injuries. For about a year, I struggled to understand what was going on with my adductors. Without relying on any scans/imaging—and based solely on working on me over a period of time—Dr. Nieters suspected that my adductors weren't fully attached. She recommended that I travel to Philadelphia to visit Vincera Institute, a specialized core clinic, for further imaging.

Through that process, I learned that both my adductors and my rectus abdominis were not fully attached, and that I would need a combined hip and core surgery. If it weren't for Dr. Nieters, I would have only undergone hip surgery and would not have discovered the full extent of my physical situation for a long time.

I had surgery in September 2025 and am currently working hard at rehab. Thanks to Dr. Nieters, I now have a real chance to get back on the field. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also one of the kindest, and most genuinely caring people I've ever met. She has a true gift for what she does. I always leave our sessions feeling better—not just physically, but mentally as well. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone to see her!!“

“Dr Sara Edwards is not only extremely competent, but also compassionate and very caring with her patients. I have recommended her to others who have been happy with her work as well. I only wish she was in San Francisco all the time rather than part-time in Berkeley.“

“I thought I might not be able to run again and the inability to exercise was very unhealthy. But the PRP injection, strengthening exercises, and ultrasound imaging from Avid (and an MRI from insurance covered clinic) allowed me to recover from a tricky injury. Excellent staff and clinic!“

“I have had a handful of physical therapists and chiropractors and my experience at SOMA Sport and Physio has by far been the best. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive and has the the best interest of their clients in mind. I highly recommend Dr. Eng for chiropractic care.“

“I came in with a lower back pain flare up, my muscles were feeling really weak and tense, and I left feeling confident that Sandy had done something very right for the pain I was dealing with. The next day my back felt strong and pain free again! Sandy is really attentive and gentle and very intuitive. I highly recommend his work.“

“My massage sessions with Catherine have completely transformed my body. My recovery is even better now.“

“Brenda Young at Lafayette Physical Therapy was able to accurately diagnose my problem which my previous Physical Therapist was not able to do. She then assigned the proper exercises to target my problem area. It all worked, my pain is greatly reduced ,and I am enjoying life more fully.“

“Ongoing client at North Oakland Chiropractic Clinic for over 20 years. The expertise and results I have experienced from practitioners at this clinic far surpass any others that I have received anywhere else in 40 years of chiropractic adjustments.“

“#bdayseason2025 - HEALTH A wonderful treat of my birthday season was an unexpected referral to the Clinton Chiropractic. Dr. Reyes' technique combines electric stimulation with massage gun as needed, before making the hands-on adjustment. I noticed results within a few visits, with lingering improvements to my wrist & shoulders. His relaxed, personable manner doesn't hurt either!“

“All are friendly and knowledgeable. They do everything in their power to accommodate your schedule. The practitioners are always emphatic and understanding...wanting only the very best outcome to get you back to your best physical self. I would highly recommend Active Health Center!“

“I have suffered from lower back ( SI joint ) pain for 3 years and went through 4-5 providers of various types including osteopaths, acupuncturists, specialized Massage and considered doing PRP. Dr. Cohen was methodical in his assessment and therapy choices in each session. Most importantly reviewing it at the start of each appointment and communicates clearly on why and hows of what he is doing. Through a combination of what he has done with alignment and muscular manipulations together with what I have stopped doing ( re-injuring) he has brought me back to 95-98% in a couple of months and I believe I will get back to 100% recovery shortly so that I can return to training. I extend the highest recommendation for his work.“

“Nicole and Marty are awesome!! I had ACL/ Meniscus surgery on my left knee and went to Ultrahealth for my recovery. They are very detail oriented, passionate about helping people, and knowledgeable. Everyone there is also very kind each day walking in I am greeted with smiles and hellos! The program they designed was very well rounded and I was able to see great progress with my leg. They tend to multiple patients at a time which I really like because it builds community and I was able to meet other people with the same injury. Ultrahealth knows their stuff and really helped me to meet my goals after surgery. If you are an athlete looking to rebuild your body after surgery, injury, etc. this is the place.“
