Ziegler Chiropractic Wellness Center

Ruben is a knowledgeable caring practitioner. Chiropractic is just the beginning for him. Engages himself and craniosacral treatment and much more. As a human being is also very warm and caring.

Dr. Ziegler has treated three generations of our family for over 20 years. Each member comes to him with age and life-​related chiropratic issues that he deftly manipulates back to health; we call him the «Reubenator» because he so straightforwardly clears away the pain and stiffness. He even recently saved our littledog, clearing a seriously debilitating injury in two ten minute sessions that had kept her crated for months. She’s now hopping around like a puppy. Reuben is a deeply talented healer.

I used to not be able to walk nor move my arms (had some horrific plantar fasciitis on my foot and repetitive stress injuries in both my arms). Ruben aligned me with his healing techniques and I was able to be me again. He –unlike any other masseuse/​therapist/​chiropractor I’ve met — actually listened to my body. I highly recommend him to everyone who has issues with their skeleton or muscles (no matter how severe they are). Ruben is also such a warm and nice person… it is impossible not to love him!

I am a 72 year old woman who has suffered from back and hip problems for over 4 decades. For years I saw a chiropractor once or twice a week just to get by.
I injured my knee in October 2009 but my chiropractor could not help me. In desperation, I went to a sports medicine M.D., but found no relief after injections to the knee and 6 weeks of physical therapy.
I had known of Dr. Reuben Ziegler for some time but felt I couldn’t afford his care. I live in a rent-​controlled apartment up 3 flights of stairs — I need healthy knees. I figured Dr Ziegler was my last chance to get my injured knee back to normal and I was right.
Reuben not only helped my knee, but my pelvis is now so stable I only see him for maintenance about once a month. He is a genuine healer!

I’ve been to Dr. Ziegler aka Ruben a few times and he works miracles. We discussed a surgery that I was told to undergo and I thought different after leaving his office. I went in with a terrible lower back ache once and was doing karate kicks later that night. Examplar!

The man’s a CHIRO GOD!
About a year ago I was in Pilates complaining about an ancient chronic hip and lower back pains, when the instructor and every student in the class responded, «Reuben Ziegler, life saver»
It is one year later and no more chronic pain. Bonus — I have better posture, better health and the hump below my neck from bad posture at the computer — disappearing!
Double bonus — He doesn’t crack and pop your back, he spends a good 45 min, manipulating your body and doing some crazy deep tissue and cranial work.
If you can barley walk, yet want to run to the Chiro, Reuben Ziegler is the man.

I went in broken and I came out whole!
I have had numerous experiences where I have had some physical pain — neck, knee, shoulder, hip — and by the time I left Dr. Ziegler’s office the pain was a mere memory. I am so thankful to have discovered him!

I called Ziegler Chiropractic Wellness Center for the first time today after finding him online with Unilocal,and Dr Ziegler answered the phone himself. I asked if his office offered acupuncture services and he said no and then hung up the phone. Very rude! I guess i will just call someone else with better customer service. Thanks anyways.

Ruben is the MAN!
Seriously, the man has healing hands or some other crazy gift that helps your pain instantly feel so much better. I came to Ruben more than 4 years ago for the first time after recovering from a broken femur and crushed hip ball (roller blades = death traps if you ask me) and my y surgeon had told me I should prepare to be in a wheelchair after age 50… I had a pretty awkward limp (no, seriously my friends called me The Penguin) and a fair amount of pain when it rained and when I got up in the morning. After a couple of months with Ruben with bi-​monthly visits my limp was practically gone and my pain level was close to zero. He not only works on your body but also helps you by explaining what is going on so that you can take steps to prevent it in your life when you are not under his care.
Do yourself a favor and schedule an appointment — there is no way you cannot feel like $ 1 million when you leave there!

Dr. Ziegler is the real deal. As someone who has had the great fortune of being in 10 car accidents before the age of 21, I have a ton of experience in chiropractic care. It’s true many of the hacks out there have bastardized the trade, but Dr. Ziegler is a true gem and a rarity. Due to my large body of experience and an all around choosy nature, it took me a lot of wasted time and funds to locate him. Referred to me by a TRAPEZE ARTIST, Dr. Ziegler gives you full attention for your entire session, employing numerous techniques and involving the entire body, as it is all invariably connected (he will educate you as well). You actually leave his office completely blissed out and balanced with relief that lasts for weeks, not just that day.
His compassion and integrity are unmistakable and his motivation is to get you back in ‘fighting form’, not just trying to milk the treatment ($$$) along for months and months as so many others are wont to do. I know I will need intermittent ‘tune-​ups’ for many years to come due to a crook in my spine occurring during one of my many mishaps and I’m very grateful to have found a provider I can turn to to get me back in line. Don’t waste time and money the way I did, he’s the best out there.

I consider myself something of mutant…
No, not in the I have three nipples and tail sense… well not in the three nipple sense… when I was tween it was discovered that I have an extra vertebrae in the old spinal column. How lucky is that?! Well, its not… the only prize you get for that is some jokes about having a tail and jacked up back…
I think I must have seen somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 Chiropractors over the last 25 years and to be honest with the exception of one here in SF (Hi John) they have all sucked large donkey man parts… sure they gave me some relief but typically seeing a chiropractor is like using heroin… it’s just a matter when you need your next fix (usually the sooner the better).
Full disclosure, I knew Reuban as a friend before I knew him as Chiropractor and it was only after I got him to take pity on me and adjust my shoulder after a dinner that I realized the difference between what he does and what all of the other quacks did to me…
Hands down, Dr. Ziegler (sorry to get all formal on you there) is the best whatever he is that I have seen — I’m not really comfortable calling him a Chiropractor since there is some stigma there that he doesn’t deserve.
Long story short, if you have issues where you feel like your this or your that is out of whack I would recommend making an appointment… I haven’t found anyone in the last 25 years that has the sense and ability to heal that Dr. Ziegler does…
5 Stars for the fact that since I’ve seen Dr. Ziegler, my back and shoulders finally don’t feel like shit!

Dr. Ziegler has an innate sense about the human body.
His assessment begins when you walk into the room.
He is friendly and welcoming and comforting and effective.
He is unlike a typical crack master… Reuben actually
engages your body in it’s normal range of motion and positions
your posturing so that your body almost adjusts itself. With his firm
and gentle prodding — he guides your body into it’s natural state
of balance.
Go see him and get centered soon.
Friendly staff will make sure that you get the appointment time that works best.

There’s nothing more precious to a woman besides her Prada shoes and her MJ handbag. Nothing.
Well. .. that is, until you throw out your back from doing nothing short of fancy: LAUNDRY. (yawn).
Your back is wrecked.
More importantly though, you can no longer saunter down the street with your fabulous accessories that cost you 2 paychecks! Simply asked. Life is worth living. .. HOW?
As I was weeks past the 14 day return policy. .. I had to do what any girl would do.
I called my back-​magician: Dr. Ziegler.
After a couple of sessions, I felt re-​balanced and that pinched nerve was completely gone. My handbag arm and stiletto wearing hips were operational again! Thank you Marc Jacobs!
I mean, Dr. Ziegler!
5 STARS for knowing the brand name PRADA and the urgency of it all.

Rueben Ziegler is the best chiropractor I’ve experienced. Several years ago I began healing from a broken foot. The side effect from the’ boot cast’ was that my knees began to hurt so bad I had to walk with a cane.
A dancer friend of mine recommended Rueben. After my first visit with him, I walked in on a cane and out without one! never to use one again. I am not the only one with this story around his office.
One of the things that I love about his work is that he spends 45 min — 1hr on you. With over 25 years experience in bodywork techniques, he has a palette of modalities with which he works on your body, not only as a clinician but with artistry. With Rueben’s help I am youthing. :)
I have recommended a number of happy satisfied clients to him over the years. I’d give him a try if I were you. What have you got to loose? Imagine life without your knees and lower back in pain. It happened to me.

Reuben is one of the most incredible healers I know. I am a massage therapist and have been to a number of chiropractors over the years to help maintain my structural balance and he is one of the few that spends 30 — 45 minutes of hands on time and looks at the body as a whole rather than just the spine (he adjusts ankles, wrists, shoulders, rib cage, etc…) I also used to work for him (until I decided and had the pleasure of witnessing the many amazing transformations from pain and sometimes despair to mobile happy people.
He just moved into his new office on Ellsworth on the corner of Channing and Ellsworth in Berkeley. The phone number is still the same: 510−665−6099.
