Flow Chiropractic and Family Wellness Center

Ariel is a caring, gentle, and well-​seasoned practitioner. She took her time to listen to my whole history asked me lots of questions us feedback… She is gentle with her adjustments and provides good explanations… she also gave me exercises to maintain my alignment. I would recommend her to anybody.

I am not sure how I would have made it through my last two months of pregnancy without Ariel. I wish I had started seeing her earlier on in my pregnancy. I had a lot of back, hip, and sciatic pain when I started seeing Ariel. I had been taken off of work because I was so uncomfortable. After seeing Ariel, I can honestly say that I was more comfortable at 38 weeks than I was at 32.

I love Dr. Ariel! I’m a hairstylist and when I was pregnant with my baby, I began having super sharp pains while standing for long periods of time. (Not good if you only make money while standing!) a friend recommended Dr. Ariel to me and she saved me! I saw her a few times a week throughout my pregnancy and she managed to keep me out of pain and able to work until 1.5 weeks before my son was born. She has a gentle touch and knows her stuff. We are so grateful to have her as our postnatal chiropractor for me and my baby as well. Thank you for keeping both of our bodies aligned!

I found out at 34 weeks that my baby was breech. Dr. Ariel fit me into her schedule that day and after just 2 sessions the baby flipped! The baby was so responsive to everything that Ariel was doing that I know without a doubt that it was her use of the Webster technique that created the space for the baby to turn.
She is a true healer and wanted to keep seeing me even after the baby turned to keep me in balance. Ariel is doing this work for all the right reasons — to help people, especially pregnant mamas. She is incredibly patient, gentle and responsive. I feel like my third trimester has been a lot smoother since Ariel came into my life. I am so grateful to have found a real healer and supporter and that she flipped my baby!
Can’t thank her enough! Or recommend her highly enough!

Ariel is amazing. In week 36 of my pregnancy I started having issues walking because the left side of my back was hurting. I didn’t know what to do. I typically walk 3 – 5 miles a day and all of a sudden I could hardly reach the front door. Then I got the advice to see a chiropractor. I found Ariel via Unilocal and she was able to see me within a few days (December 31^st!). After the treatment I was a bit sore, but the day after I was able to walk without any pain. It was amazing! During the treatment Ariel explained everything she did and why, that made me feel very comfortable. I ended up have a really smooth delivery and I am sure Ariel’s treatments contributed to this. I would recommend everybody who is looking for a chiropractor to see Ariel.

I am so grateful for Dr. Ariel’s support through my second pregnancy! Dr. Ariel was always able to provide me with relief when I experienced physical discomfort due to my growing and changing body. I experienced better posture, better sleep and much less back pain than with my first pregnancy!
With my first pregnancy, I didn’t receive chiropractic care until half way through my pregnancy. I felt like a new person and was able to sleep better since my hip and back pain subsided. I was only sorry I had waited so long before getting care until then. I mean lets face it, being pregnant can be really uncomfortable, but why suffer if you don’t have to.
So, I made sure for my second pregnancy I was receiving care right away. Thanks to Dr. Ariel, I never experienced the level of pain and discomfort that I did at the beginning of my first pregnancy and believe early and consistent care was key for feeling good through out my whole pregnancy. Also, my labor and delivery went so smoothly with no interventions with a very quick recovery. Yay!
I would totally recommend Dr. Ariel and chiropractic care to pregnant mammas! Dr. Ariel is very professional and takes her time getting to know you and your body. I’m glad I found her and continue to see her regularly postpartum to keep my body feeling good!

Delighted to find such thoughtful, attentive, and attuned chiropractic care. Ariel’s sensitivity and subtle skills allowed my well-​being to come out on it’s own, without feeling like a mule kicked me in the neck. I hate aggressive, bull-​dozing adjustments. This is intelligent care, both in her hands and in her questions about the patient’s lifestyle. Just terrific. I’m recommending my bodywork clients to Ariel.

I’m so grateful to have found Dr. Ariel! I picked her, initially, because she specialized in the Webster technique and was in an easy to access location, but I stayed because of her wonderful care!
She really listens to the issues you are experiencing, and is open and honest about what she is feeling during your exam. She was such a calming presence toward the end of my pregnancy when I was worried about the baby being in a bad position.
She was so supportive of my birth choices, and so ready to support in any way she could. She did a wonderful home visit after the birth that allowed me to get the chiropractic I needed to feel better without exposing the very young baby to too many germs.
Our appointments were like talking with a really helpful and knowledgeable friend.
Couldn’t recommend enough to pregnant women!

I began care with Dr. Ariel early in 2014 while attending an event for the clean water fund and I have been under her care ever since. I suffer from chronic muscle pain and have neck and back injuries due to a car accident a few years ago as well as prior sports injuries. When I first visited Ariel my headaches were so bad that I couldn’t even think straight. From the first visit I noticed relief and the pain lessened more and more with subsequent visits. I have setbacks from time to time when I’m not treating my body right and a visit to Dr. Ariel always helps to get things back in order. Unlike many doctors Dr. Ariel will take the time to explain what is wrong and why. She is very knowledgeable in her field and I would recommend her as a chiropractor to anyone that needs one!

I am so happy that I was referred to Dr. Ariel. She has been a lifesaver. She genuinely cares and has made my recovery process from a back injury speedy and beyond pleasant. She also resolved my acid reflux issue. Highly recommend her to anyone seeking chiropractic care or over all well being care, she is the best!

Dr. Ariel Provasoli has been an incredible help to me – my body as well as my sense of wellbeing. I have had more injuries and surgeries than one person should collect over 40 years, and as a wedding photographer I carry heavy cameras and lenses on my shoulders often. Dr. Ariel has helped my chronic neck, shoulder and back pain, and her professional care has even inspired me to help myself by being more aware of my posture. Since seeing her I have also begun to exercise and eat better; I am inspired. I recommend her highly!

Had a great experience with Dr. Ariel! I grew up with a mother who was adamant about getting us adjusted but as an adult I’ve let a few years go by without visiting a chiropractor. After 2 sessions with Dr. Ariel I was reminded how amazing chiropractic care is, especially when you have a great chiro! I visited Dr. Ariel just for a tune-​up and walked out feeling like I had a new body; I was having some hip and neck issues and felt that both of those were much better. I felt taller and as though my alignment was back to a place where it wanted to be, such a unique but great feeling. I felt Dr. Ariel was super intuitive, she explained everything she was doing which allowed me to tune-​in more with my body during the adjustment. Needless to say I’ll be going back!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Ariel at Flow Chiropractic in Berkeley and before that was a patient of hers while she was an intern in chiropractic school. I’ve had neck, arm and low back issues and every time I go for my appointment I leave not only with a decrease in pain/​achiness but I feel more connected and less stressed. She encourages you to focus on your breath and says that is a natural way of calming the system. Dr Ariel is very down to earth and I know she is really listening to me, she just has that presence.
She is very well educated when it comes to chiropractic and also is trained as a Doula which I think is really a cool combination of work. Though I am not a mother yet myself, I will totally be seeing her during my pregnancy because I trust her skills and know she knows how to care for me and my future babe. She’s told me about the Webster Technique which she uses to balance the pelvis for pregnant women and helps ease labor. Sounds good to me!
If you’re looking for a great, compassionate chiropractor with loving hands, go see Dr. Ariel. I promise you’ll leave feeling better and really well cared for.

Dr. Ariel is the best, I trust her with my whole family. We are all under care with her, and feel amazing. There were several Pregnant women in her office, and they all spoke highly as well. I hear its great during pregnancy and after of course. Great location, excellent, service, tons of knowledge (she has been adjusted since birth) and she glows. Thumbs up!
