Brian Pensack, DC

Dr. Brian changed my oppinion about chiropractors. I saw 3 of them before but I always felt like I was wasting my time. They would give me one adjustment and would send me home, which obviously did not benefit me at all, so I lived with my back pains for a couple of years. I’m glad I decided to try one more time. Dr. Brian spent our first session explaining why my back might be hurting and what we can do to fix it, and now I understand that it’s an on-​going maintenance that’s necessary. He is very professional and friendly, he knows what he’s doing, and most importantly he does not waste my time. You get in and get out right away, no waiting in the lobby which always happens in every medical office. And even though my back is not perfect yet, I finally can function comfortably without that annoying back pain.

I have never written a Unilocal review, and probably won’t start the habit, but I definitely have to share the wealth for people seeking the best chiropractor in the area. Dr. Pensack is simply amazing at what he does. I’ve been seeing him twice a week for two months and can say with complete and utter confidence that he has helped me INCREDIBLY. Every visit Dr. Pensack treats me with extreme respect and takes the time to answer all questions about my treatment thoroughly. Not only has he been extremely informative and clear in explaining my adjustments to me in relation to my physical health, but I love the fact that he always, always, always takes the time to talk to me about my life in general; so positive and comfortable after a crazy day! I’ve had a rough medical history (brain surgeries, asthma, amongst other things) and of all my experiences with health practitioners, I can genuinely tell you he is one of the most proficient and caring professionals I’ve ever met. I feel SOOOO better after he works his magic! I recommend him to anyone who wants the BEST CHIROPRACTIC CARE here in the Bay.

I met Dr. Pensack through my BNI group and had recently decided my last chiropractor wasn’t for me… I have ongoing adjustment needs from my job. He has been phenomenal in helping me keep my back in line! I highly recommend Dr. Pensack. He works very quickly. I never have to wait long to be seen. He’s very professional and I always feel better after seeing him which is what it really all boils down to :)

I have been seeing chiropractors for 22 years and Dr. Pensack for the past 4. He’s thorough, knowledgeable, and takes his time. As long as I’ve been going, I still tend to tense up but Brian makes it easy and is consistently successful getting results. I have sent friends and members of my staff who’ve had the same experience. I would, and have, referred anyone who needs to rid themselves of back, shoulder, and general muscle pain and to prevent any of those from recurring. In our everyday stresses we can forget how good it is to get relief and to find someone who knows how to provide that relief.

SKEPTIC? I was too. All else failed and a friend insisted I see Dr. Pensack. After X-​rays and a thorough exam, he EXPLAINED (how often does a doctor do that?) and showed me what my problems were. He was so thorough, studying the films repeatedly during each session to make sure he was on the dot — and he was! The man knows what he is doing! and where! I was utterly impressed.
I had improved and then he told me he thought part of my problem was «systemic» and for that I needed blood work, etc. How often does one doctor say he has helped you as much as he can and that you need another’s treatment? IMPRESSIVE all over the place.
Dr. Pensack’s expertise and integrity make me want to tell everyone who needs a chiropractor to go directly to him — you need search no longer!

Brian is wonderful. I began seeing him for a lower back issue when nothing else would help. In addition to that being resolved successfully I have seen improvement in my MTJ issues and in a stress related localized tension pain under a shoulder blade (you know, the one where it feels like an ice pick is driving thru your shoulder blade…) that I had had my whole adult life. His style is professional and science based, not all new age. It NEVER hurts. I have recommended a number of friends to see him and they have all had great results as well, particularly a young soft ball player with scoliosis.
I would have delivered a 5 except for the deal he has going with some high speed vitamins that are WAY over priced and have that pyramid scheme smell about them… But I just don’t buy the vitamins and it’s all good.
Got Back Pain?
Go!

I have scoliosis, and had all sorts of problems with back pain, pinched nerves and a stiff neck. After trying different beds, massage, and yoga, I finally turned to chiropractors, but even a few of them didn’t help.
Then I found Dr. P! He helped me with my acute pain right away, and has continued to improve my situation ever since, in terms of reducing pain and increasing my range of motion over the years. He is a straight chiropractor — no massage, chimes, acupuncture, or touchy-​feely stuff. I’m all for all of that, but when I want to be FIXED (not just to generally feel more relaxed), when I want my serious problems dealt with, I go to Dr. Pensack.
He won’t treat you before taking an x-​ray, but that one-​time charge is worth it. I wouldn’t trust someone who wanted to adjust my spine without one! He always refers to the x-​ray, but also does a few other quick tests to ensure he pinpoint the real source of the problem, not just where one is feeling pain.
He’s also a nice, regular, caring guy.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Pensack for around a year now on and off. His prices are very reasonable, he offers discounts for plans, he’s got a great bedside manner, and is very available for urgent appointments. Many times I’ve had a migraine coming on and he’s been able to accommodate me at short notice to stave it off.
On top of all this, Dr. Pensack is a funny, quirky guy. He looks very straightlaced, but don’t get him started on politics unless you want a really vigourous adjustment.
