RJ Ammon Chiropractic

Nothing short of miraculous! After 7 months of attempting to rehab a back injury from helicopter skiing, Dr. Ammon was recommended by my back surgeon.
My back doctor/​orthopedist had run out of ideas. I had been through diagnostics including X-​Rays and MRI. I had exhausted other treatments, including physical therapy, massage, injections, anti-​inflammatories and rest.
Dr. Ammon performed a 20 minute history and physical exam, then diagnosed the injury. He then gave me a prognosis of 2 – 12 treatments. After two visits, I was completely cured. I am amazed and ecstatic.
He has a great demeanor and bedside manner. He is upbeat, thorough, empathetic, professional, and most of all successful. I could not recommend him more highly.

I am an orthopedic/​medical massage therapist and I am very picky about who touches my body.
I had noticed on my own intake form that several people had used Dr Ammon, and I had also been referred to him by several other people over time. I was nervous about seeing a ‘crack your bones’ chiropractor — and did not go into this thinkng it would help at all!
Ok — so I was wrong! Dr Ammon has now been my savior on many occasions over the last 7 years. In my job, I need to keep in shape and occasionally my neck, shoulder and lower back have definitely been the cause of some discomfort. I work out a lot (trail running, road cycling and weight training) — and have had issues with my knees also. He is an avid cyclist — and so he speaks from experience on sports-​related injuries.
Right from my first very thorough appointment, Dr Ammon truly inspired me. I have seen him on and off all this time, and whenever I am feeling in pain, he always (always) helps get me back on track. It’s not just the adjustments that help either. He also does muscle work (neuro muscular therapy), advises on stretching, exercises and cryotherapy. If I feel in pain, I always go to him first, rather than seeking out other medical practitioners. He has saved me hundreds of dollars in doctors visits, I am sure. Also — if he doesn’t know what might be going on in your body — he’ll say so. And he’ll advise appropriately. This is a man you can totally trust with your health issues.

I have been to a few chiropractors and Dr. Ammon is a real standout. He is kind, relatable, skilled and most importantly knows what he is doing?
He was able to put things in perspective for me in terms that I could understand. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a chiropractor in the area!

Love Dr. Ammon! After being rated with an almost 20% disability in back (retired law enforcement, normal wear and tear) I needed to find a doctor that understood my needs, limitations, and specific issues. I had previously seen a chiro in Pleasant Hill (who was fine), but since moving back to Livermore, I needed someone closer. Dr. Ammon came highly recommended by several friends, and I see why!
He didn’t touch my back until he had all my medical reports and had a full understanding of what I was dealing with (including a major ankle injury which causes me to compensate which in turn gnarls up my hips and back). My back problems come and go and I’ve seen him a handful of times since Christmas and he has me back on the healthy road. He gave me a series of stretches to do (which I follow) and I ice my back regularly. I recently work up with my back kinda jacked up. I made an appt. He did his magic, recognizing it was a joint issue and within 10 minutes I went from unable to bend over to bending over and touching my toes. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending him as a 5 star chiropractor!

After going to several different chiropractors in Livermore, I think I have found my home. Dr Ammon incorporates physical therapy into your wellness plan with the goal that you will end up seeing him less… a philosophy that I really admire and which is rare in his field.

I have searched and been to a few different chiropractors. I must say Dr. John Ammon is the most caring, understanding and knowledgeable in his field. He is an avid athlete and understands lifes pains, from all walks of life. He really gets to know you, what accidents you’ve had and how to prevent knew ones. Everytime I’ve seen Dr. Ammon he is very friendly, and knows exactly whats going on. He takes the time and listens to his patients. I would highly recommend Dr. Ammon.
Pros: Very knowledgeable, plenty of parking, fare prices, very friendly staff and confortable environment.
Cons: Closed on Tues, Thurs and weekends.

I had never been seen by a chiropractor before and I was nervous. I had a couple aches and pains… nothing that hindered my activities but something I wanted to get under control so that they did not worsen. Ive heard horror stories about chiropractors who try to scare you and then sell you huge packages for multiple visits. My trusty pal, Samantha B pointed me in the direction of Dr Ammon, and boy and I glad she did! Not only has the pain gone away but we set up a very simple treatment plan that consisted of three additional visits and some general upkeep down the road as needed. No scary photos of twisted spines, no light models, no package deals that equal the cost of my mortgage… just simple straight forward care.
Because I am a chiro-​newbie I super appreciated that he demonstrated and explained everything he was doing during my adjustment. This made the whole process less nervous-​making.
Hurray for Dr Ammon!

I have been seeing Dr Ammon for months now since a car accident resulted in some series back injuries. He has been fantastic. He listens and explains everything exceptionally well. I highly recommend him.

I would highly recommend seeing Dr. Ammon if you are experiencing any issues at all! He is very honest and caring, and unlike some chiropractors, is interesting in healing your body long-​term instead of getting you back in for another appointment. He has been in business a long time and already has clientele, so it’s not about building a client list as it is taking care of people. He’s so in tune with the body that he will just look at your posture, gently feel your spine, and be able to pinpoint EXACTLY where your pain is, including which muscles are effected, it’s amazing how good he is at his job! In order to heal your body, he will help you change your habits that may accidentally be causing your issues (the way you sit, sleep, etc.) I really love how he offers natural ways to heal oneself instead of turning to drugs and operations (although he will be the first to tell you there is definitely a time for those things as well!)
The staff is always friendly and very accommodating. If I am in pain I know I can call and get an appointment THAT DAY and if there are no openings, the staff will even call me is something does open up last minute. They are always cheerful and make the visit wonderful.
I would say this is great if you are someone who repeatedly is getting banged around (like me; I play hockey) or if you are someone who was injured and needs physical therapy/​etc to recover. Dr. Ammon will set you straight!
