Orinda Chiropractic Center

Got a recommendation from an excellent source that Dr. Kevin Wong was the answer to my pain. They were totally right on. About 18 months ago I started having severe pain from my sciatica on my right side. Just to stand for more than a couple of minutes was excruciating. Have been to orthopedic specialists and have had 2 spinal injections. They did not work. I have been with Dr. Wong for less than a month and I have made outstanding progress. He is an amazing person full of energy. He just doesn’t tell you he thinks he can help you… he looks right at you and says he WILL help you. Pain is NOT an option. Again,
he has been right on. Its a very pleasant atmosphere to go into and he has a very friendly staff. The only advice I can give you is just go see him for yourself. You will totally «get it» when all his patients greet him like family.

Thanks Dr. Kevin and Orinda Chiropractic for another A+ visit! Can’t wait for my new foot levelers. You rock doc! Ciao!

Kevin Wong is a MIRACLE WORKER! I had hip pain for two weeks — one treatment and I’m pain free. I’ll have a few more appointments over the next month but I am sold. Plus he takes my insurance AND got me in for a same day appointment. He personally called me a couple of days later to check in on me — while he’s on a field trip with his kids no less. Avoid driving into the back parking lot, especially if you have anything bigger than a mid-​sized sedan. Street parking is free and 1 hour.

This guy is the worst. He did not help my daughter at all and ran his mouth the entire time he saw her. 20 minutes of nothing for $ 271. You would be better going somewhere else!

I have flat feet and I’m a runner who never wore inserts (that is, before I met Dr. Wong!): a recipe for eventual disaster. I was experiencing plantar fasciitis-​like symptoms-​in addition to very sore and tight muscles-​and didn’t know what to do. Dr. Wong knew immediately based on the alignment of my body all of my issues started at my feet. He got me fitted with custom inserts and I haven’t had any foot pain since! Dr. Wong is very gentle when he adjusts you and spends a lot of time listening to and treating your issues each visit. He is really personable. You can tell he loves what he does by his enthusiasm and the way he hugs his patients!

Words cannot begin to describe how grateful I am for finding Dr. Wong. After spending hundreds of dollars and numerous trips to various doctors with fancy diplomas, all of which assured me that there is nothing wrong with me, I continued to feel very lethargic and lightheaded most of the time. My symptoms gradually developed into a painful earache and a sharp neck pain accompanied by constant vertigo. I was beginning to think that there is something seriously wrong with me. This is when I decided to take matters into my own hands and to search for alternative ways of getting relieve from my symptoms.
My first encounter with Dr. Wong’s practice was with his staff. His receptionist was very friendly and accommodating. I was able to see Dr. Wong right away and to my surprise I found out that he works with patients’ insurance companies to make chiropractic visits more affordable. From the moment I walked into Dr. Wong’s office, I felt at ease. His office was very cozy and inviting. As soon as I met Dr. Wong, I knew I was in good hands. His charming personality and positive demeanor took my worries away. He is very knowledgable and extremely passionate about what he does and it shows in his work. He puts patients at ease and truly cares about each and every one of them. To my disbelief, Dr. Wong cured my virtigo on my very first appointment by performing a few quick adjustments. My neck pain was completely gone 2 days later. In addition, Dr Wong cares about each and every patient so much that he called me to follow up the next day. I have never had such a personable and caring experience with any health provider out there. I will forever be greatful for meeting Dr. Wong and I am so happy I get my active lifestyle back, right in time for the holidays!
Dr Wong’s charming personality and talent accompanied by friendly staff and cozy office have won me over and I have made Orinda Chiroprsctic Center my #1 stop for any future back/​neck/​head issues.

Dr Wong has been attending my family for years. We’ve learned to consult him first when pain arises, because we have learned that his purview is far wider than we would have guessed and because he typically yields better results than the doctor or specialist. When I have followed up his work with visits to other medical professionals I’ve been happy to learn that he was taking me or my family member in the right direction. My podiatrist was even impressed with what a low price I paid for my custom-​made orthotics through Dr Wong. These top-​of-​the-​line orthotics are supportive of all three arches and easily transfer from my gym shoes to my heels to my boots, so I can be feminine and stable all at the same time. When my daughter’s jaw got dislocated it was Dr Wong and his inflammation-​reducing laser, more than the physical therapist with his electrical-​pulse machine, who got the swelling down and stabilized the situation.
A visit to Dr Wong is comfortably routine. I arrive at his conveniently located office (it is situated perfectly for access on and off the freeway) in beautiful Orinda and usually find nearby, unmetered parking. Though he has a parking lot, it is rather cramped so I prefer to park nearby on the street. I like to be early or on time, because Dr Wong is ready for me right on schedule. He is very conscientious of everyone’s time. The staff is friendly, the office cheerful and reflective of his being a family man. There are toys for children, magazines for adults… The appointment begins with informing him of the places that hurt. There is a swift but thorough examination of the problem area. What follows is usually a period of about 15 minutes of prepping one’s body for the hand’s-on work. This often means lying on a padded table, with electrodes hooked up to an electrical-​stimulation machine, with hot towels on one’s body… It’s very relaxing. Then Dr Wong puts away the machine and the towels and carries out the appropriate manipulations. He has all kinds of tables and tools to suit the situation.
If he believes I should return for a follow-​up he will advise me as to timing, but he is never pushy. He often gives his patients a hug goodbye, probably the ones he’s been seeing for years, but he is personable and authentic from day one. A typical session costs $ 55 ($ 25 if my insurance pitches in), so he is very affordable. He is honorable and highly skilled and has my highest recommendation.

I began seeing Kevin in July of this year following a car accident. This was my first experience seeing a chiropractor. As soon as I entered the office I was made to feel very comfortable and at ease. The staff was pleasant and friendly. Kevin closely listened to my story regarding the accident and his approach was very gentle. Each time I came for my appointment Kevin asked how I was feeling and listened to my response, basing his treatment on what I said. I looked forward to seeing him since my body felt so good after being adjusted. I started treatment by going 3 times a week and gradually decreasing to twice then once and finally every other week. My body seemed to need the treatment less and less. In just about 3 ½ months my personal injury case has been closed and I feel great! I highly recommend Orinda Chiropractic!

Dr. Wong is not only a pleasure to speak to, but he prescribed the perfect orthotics that I use every day in both my work shoes and gym shoes. I can’t begin to say what a difference I have experienced when standing in meetings. I would highly recommend his practice to anyone. If you are skeptical about trying chiropractic Dr. Kevin Wong will change your mind about what to expect

I had a pinched nerve in my shoulder that was causing me terrible pain. I went to see Dr Wong and he did a comprehensive assessment to determine the root of the problem — which happened to be my feet. This was the first time any doctor had identified this issue and explained «pain» centers I’ve had on and off for years. Dr Wong fitted me with custom orthodics and started working on my shoulder pain. In three sessions I was pain free. Unlike another chiropractor I went to who pressured me to sign up for ongoing treatments, Dr Wong worked to relieve my pain and provide a permanent solution so I don’t have to see him anymore. That’s a refreshing change and I’d highly recommend him.

Dr. Kevin is insightful, professional, friendly, and extremely sincere. I’ve been treated by chiropractors for over 20 years and Dr. Kevin Wong is TOP NOTCH! He can pin point your areas of discomfort without even having to tell him and provides a stress free treatment! He truly cares about you as a person (not just a patient) and is a sincere advocate for your overall health; he checks in on you via text and/​or phone call when you are receiving treatment for an acute issue to make sure you are feeling better and the adjustment is holding. I highly recommend Dr. Kevin! His office staff is also quite friendly, professional and knowledgeable.

I am 47, athletic but have a chronic neck injury and have been under the care of a chiropractor for 20 years. Moving to the East Bay, I had to find a new Dr. It is hard to find a chiropractor as you have to absolutely trust them. I am glad I found Dr. Kevin.
On my first visit I saw Dr. Kevin hugging and kissing his patients on the cheek and they were talking about their family vacations so I knew he was personable and cared about his patients.
He «got» my chiropractic needs right away. I travel for a living and am constantly out of alignment. It is nice to go in for an adjustment when I need it and get the relief I need.
The office is fast and efficient, you are in and out, no waiting. No upselling of expensive courses of treatments you don’t need.

I have been seeing chiropractors since I was 14 years old so I’m pretty experienced and know what works. I brought my two kids, age 7 and 13 and myself for an adjustment because we were having issues with our back, shoulder and/​or neck from excessive traveling. I knew right away that he was at the top of his field because of his line of questioning and treatment techniques. If you are looking for one of the country’s best chiropractors, you will not be disappointed coming here. If you are experiencing any sort of pain or discomfort and have tried traditional medical doctors which have not been able to help, definitely see Dr. Wong. It’s not often you meet health care professionals who are so genuine and personable and take the extra time and effort to provide optimal treatment. I would definitely recommend him and travel from the East Coast to see him!

A number of years ago, I was at a point where my neck wouldn’t move without sharp stabbing pain and went to a see chiropractor for the first time. After a $ 200 ‘free’ first visit, he wanted to charge me $ 2000 up front for so many visits over so many months, and that was a huge discount off of the monthly payment rate. I swore I would never go to a chiropractor ever again after that.
Enter Dr Kevin. I went to Orinda Chiropractic for my back as it was difficult to sit or stand for lengths of time. Since Dr Kevin worked his magic, I only go back as need (once every few months for maintenance) and feel like a different person. He is a miracle worker. What I like most about Dr Kevin are his business practices. He never tries to get you to pay for anything you don’t need. You are scheduled visit by visit and he even takes insurance (which is a pain in the neck, trust me) so he can give the best treatment to as many people as possible. The girls that work in the front office bend over backwards to get you scheduled and make sure your insurance is paying what they should. I recommend Orinda Chiropractic to everyone. Even if you’ve been let down somewhere else, you won’t be disappointed!

All I an say is that I have been seeing chiropractors for well over 10 years and had worked for a couple for a few years. I am so thankful that I have found Kevin! I am a loyal patient for over two years and wouldn’t even dream of trying to find another chiropractor. Unless I move to another state where traveling to him would make it impossible, I will be a forever patient.
I am in cosmetology school and am my feet all day and without him. my neck, back and feet would be in the gutter. His adjustments are magic and he recommended orthotics for me and boy oh boy. those have been a god send. If I do not wear them, I truly feel the difference and end up with lower back pain.
But what really impresses me is his attention to the body as a whole. Not just where your pain is, but the whole body. He explains why you may be experiencing pain in one area due to another area being out of alignment. And, he travels all over the United States and out of the country to teach other chiropractors techniques and educates them.
Pretty neat I must say.
**TO SUMMARIZE: Kevin really is the best of the best. He takes insurance and also offers really good self pay patient rates.

I saw Dr Wong for wrist pain and he got me 90% better after 3 visits. The laser treatment helped decrease the inflammation and stimulate the healing process. Dr Wong is a great doctor and really cares about helping people. I’m really glad I found him!

I had excruciating back pain for days. Dr. Kevin Wong was recommended to me by two good friends – and they were so right. I can finally sit, stand and walk without pain, and I learned so much about the root of the problem.
Dr. Kevin Wong is knowledgeable, quick, thorough and explains everything. The office staff is great too – willing to help and very pleasant. I would recommend this office to any of my friends suffering with pain.

Three years ago, I was in a pretty horrible car accident. Dr. Kevin was my savior. Not only did he get me back in tip top shape, he went out of his way to chat with my trainer about what he thought I should work on in the coming months as far as strength training. How many practitioners go out of their way like that?
On top of it all, his office staff is great and totally take care of all of the insurance hassle. That in itself is enough of a reason to go here!

I’m happily writing this positive review of Dr. Kevin Wong and his team on behalf of my mother who is a current client progressing excellently and we are so grateful to do so. Essentially, the method at which the anesthesia was delivered in mom’s total knee operation little over a year ago left an otherwise perfect surgical procedure terribly flawed with a condition known as «drop-​foot.»
Drop foot is where the patient is left with no feeling or numbness in the foot due to some sort impinged nerve and or swelling. The course of rehab to get the knee in order was successful; however there was no improved sensation to the foot. Doctors only suggestions were to wait and see or the invasive. This meant steroid injections and or nerve surgery, your typical western approaches.
These may be options to a million dollar athlete, the mega wealthy, the young or the uniformed etc. To a salt of the earth, hard working person nearing retirement, having dealt with the pain of a total knee procedure twice, these simply were not. So we waited… And we waited, and being a mother first she wasn’t telling that the numbness was spreading. One day I saw for myself how much pain she truly was in and got on the phone. My brother is a former strength and conditioning coach for an NBA team who has transitioned to the health and wellness business in Scottsdale, AZ. He suggested a protocol that sent us looking for Kevin.
The protocol consisted of cold-​laser/​chiropractic, acupuncture/​pressure and therapeutic massage to name a few. None of these things were suggested by her doctors, NONE!!! Mind you we are dealing with one of the «name-​brand» or boutique health centers in the Eastbay. We researched and Orinda Chiropractic was one of few offices that even offered cold-​laser. In that Dr. Wong is innovative and current with the trends in his field showing that he cares about his name, his craft and his clients.
With Dr. Wong’s help, Mom is able to stand erect without use of the walker and take a few steps confidently after less than a dozen sessions. Secondly and more importantly, the pain that she was succumbing to has been all but removed entirely. She can fight again, the prognosis is good and we are looking towards total recovery. Thank you for being here when we need you Dr. Wong.
Best Regards,
The Oliver’s

Kevin & his gracious office managers are TOO nice. No, really — I feel bad when I feel too good to stop in. They’re, like, «where have you been? We haven’t seen you in 3 months, 4 days, 7 hours and 15 minutes.» Once you’re a patient Kevin bends over backward to accommodate you for emergencies. He gauges your status and always lets you know how far from healthy you are, as well as the minimum you can get away with and still be mobile. I’m so RELIEVED I found a good chiro close to home.
Over the last 3 years I’ve seen him pre and postpartum, was fitted for orthotics, and even had my baby’s mysterious colic treated by Dr. K.
David, the Masseuse in his office, is good, too — even for a 20 minute chair massage. He zeros in on the spot you secretly hoped he wouldn’t find and works it until your knots yell «uncle.»
