Deann Ohler, DC

Having grown up going to chiropractors I really appreciate her personal touch. She really pays attention to the needs of your body and want you to feel well overall. I leave her office feeling so much better and really appreciate the time she spends working with my muscles in order to give me the proper adjustment.

I have been seeing Deann for more then a year. She helped me tremendously after a bad fall onto my shoulder. My physical therapy I received prior didn’t help at all. I ended up with a frozen shoulder and had a hard time sleeping. After she started working on me everything improved and got finally better. She is amazing and gives many different treatments like ultra sound, massage, stretching, readjusting etc. Finally I got my healthy body back with all the proper functions.

Best chiropractor around! I have gone to her for years and so value her knowledge and gentle adjustments.

I recently moved from the Bay Area to Southern California and one great regret I have is that I won’t be able to see Dr. Ohler on a regular basis anymore! I have chronic lower back and neck pain from two auto accidents that happened within a couple years of each other over 10 years ago; my car was rear-​ended in both cases. After moving to the South Bay in 2009, I found Dr. Ohler here on Unilocal and couldn’t have been happier to have met her! Her techniques that include some massage in addition to traditional chiropractic adjustments make my visits to her a pleasure. My back and neck always feel so much better after my appointments. I found that the migraine headaches I used to get no longer occurred as long as I got my regular adjustments from Dr. Ohler. I miss her a lot!

Dr. Ohler is remarkable. Over the last 5 years I’ve had about 6 great experiences. I have hobbled into her office unable to function due to brutal lower back pain, and I have walked out pain free. She takes the time to understand your circumstance and preferences and adjusts accordingly. If you are suffering from back pain, you owe it to yourself to visit her.

Sometimes I find all 5 star Unilocal reviews very confusing.
Based on the glowing reviews on Unilocal a few years ago, I visited Deann Ohler, DC.
While she is a nice person, and wasn’t pushy with extra appointments, my back problems were not fixed at all.
My main criteria for treatment is whether or not it works, and in this case, despite multiple visits, I had all the problems I had to start with, if not more.
This may not be her fault — to be generous, let’s say she is the best possible chiropractor there is — and what I really needed was another type of treatment. However, I would hope that an expert could also recognize this and inform the patient.
In the end I made many visits to her office, and came out no better for the wear. If this is the best chiropractic treatment has to offer, I will look to other modalities in the future.
An article I found extremely helpful in treating my own problems is here:
It details one person’s saga through standard medicine, a chiropractor, an accupuncturist, a massage therapist, and more, to no avail.
The thing that helped him in the end (and me after reading this) was home traction therapy. This involves stretching out the spine. He bought an over the door device to pull the head upwards — I couldn’t wait, so I just started hanging upside down off a table. It gave me more pain relief than any other treatment to date. Some chiropractors do offer this service — but it’s something you can easily do at home. (at your own risk of course, I don’t think it’s risky, but you may have medical issues that interfere)
I also found the Trigger Point Therapy Workbook useful, and the website

I want to echo the other very positive reviews for Deann Ohler.
I had never been to a chiropractor before seeing her, but I was having serious neck and shoulder pain due to a poor home office set up. I picked her based on the very positive Unilocal reviews & because she participated with my health insurance.
Deann was (is!) great. She addressed my issues in a few visits, made some recommendations to me about changing my computer set up to be more back and neck friendly & her prices are very reasonable.
I have been back to see her only a couple times since that initial set of visits, because I did something silly like fall off a horse! She always returns my calls promptly and fits me in within a day or two of my call.

Deann is an amazing chiropractor, and just the nicest person you could ever hope to meet. She keeps me in top condition for Tango’ing. I truly don’t know what I would do without her.

Both my significant other and I have used Deann, after we’ve used
other practitioners before. Thoughts:
Competent; found and started fix to problem right away.
Honest; did NOT suggest «weekly/​ongoing» visits, didn’t need.
Friendly; very personable.
Reasonable; cost is in line with lesser practitioners.
We’ll use her again, anytime we need. Highly recommended.

Got to say Deann was a real find — I found her on Unilocal also.
She fixed a back problem I’ve had for years — another chiropractor I went to did not identify the problem correctly (and did not fix it). She told me after two visits that I probably wouldn’t need to come again, since the problem was fixed — and it was!
FYI she’s a little more expensive than some ($ 75 an hour, my insurance covered $ 60) but well worth the $ 5-​$ 10 difference in copayment.
She’s also very pleasant and friendly.

I was referred to Deann Ohler, DC when my chiropractor went on vacation. I’ve had a lot of chiropractic care (long history of athletic endeavors) so I know «good hands» when they touch my body. I came in with a limp and walked out in much better shape. She used ultrasound and muscle massage before using the activator to make adjustment in my ankle bones. I’m impressed.

Ok, I finally am making good. I found Deann through Unilocal about a year ago. I see her faithfully every three weeks. She’s wonderful, caring and gets me aligned. I don’t have insurance, and because I’m paying out of pocket it is just so important that I have someone who I feel I can trust for chiropractic care. Not to mention, her adjustment rates are very competitive with other Doctors. If you are looking for a Chiropractor, this is the Doctor to see.

Was a bit puzzled as I saw all the previous reviewers were women. Being a guy, I wondered if this was supposed to be for women only. But I decided to see Deann anyways since she was covered under my insurance (I only have to pay $ 30 per visit). The patients before and after me were both guys, so that put my doubts to rest.
As for the session itself, she fixed my lower neck and upper back with a few satisfying cracks. My right leg was shorter than the left, because of muscle tightness in the hip and she straightened that out. I would definitely go back again if my neck or lower back bothers me again.

Yes, totally amazing.
I just had my first session with Deann (based on Unilocal reviews) and it’s all true: integrity, professionalism, great massage/​ultrasound/​adjustment, and super-​friendly and smart.
Deann helped diagnose a problem and gave me a few suggestions to help maintain the adjustment and it is helping a 5-​year back problem in a way that no other orthopedic doctor, physical therapist, or chiropractor has.
I’ll definitely be going back.

Dr. Ohler’s professionalism, expertise, competence and high ethical standards have made her my chiropractor of choice since 2001. I recommend her with full confidence that she will give you her best.

I have been seeing DeAnn Ohler since late August of 2008. Growing up I had Chiropractic care on the East Coast for scoliosis. When I moved out to California 16 years ago I had difficulties finding anyone who could adjust me properly. I am a difficult patient for sure. In 2000 I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease, and have alot of muscle aches and pains.
I was referred to DeAnn from a colleague. She is not only very warm, patient and nutruring, but incredible at what she does. She takes the time to find out what’s wrong, never rushes an appointment, and customizes your treatment on how you are feeling that day. Not to mention her great massages as part of your appointment. I always look foward to seeing her, and highly recommed her to others

I just had my first appointment with Deann after finding her on Unilocal,and she was absolutely wonderful! I called her on short notice because of extreme neck and back problems, and she fit me in right away. From the outset, she was accommodating, patient, and friendly, putting me at ease and making me comfortable. She did a thorough exam after an excellent massage, and was very responsive to feedback.
I have been to MANY chiropractors over the years, and Deann is really top-​notch. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for that exceptional chiropractor that is the perfect blend of professionalism and competence, while still being warm and nurturing. I can’t wait to go back!

Deann is a miracle worker! Her presence puts me at ease and I feel so much better after my treatment.

Ms. Deann Ohler is someone who likes to have a more intimate session (i dont mean that sexually), she listens to your problems and customizes your session accordingly. She values working students and would rather help them that make a lot of money. I have chronic back problems and i see her often not only because she does wonders for my lower back, but she also relives some of my stress with her therapeutic massages :)
As a matter of fact, i think I’ll make an appointment right now…

Deann is worth the drive from San Jose or the city – I promise! She has degrees in chiropractic and massage therapy so you get a good exam, plus some ultrasound and massage therapy and then a bone-​cracking that will rock your world.
Really – skeptics – if you’ve had hip, back or neck pain you will get real relief here. My GF finally took Caltrain down to see Deann and pretty much heard angels singing after Deann adjusted a lower back problem that she’s had for years. Wow.
This is the most-​deserved 5 star review I’ve given in my (albeit short) Unilocal career.
