PostureWorks

This place is amazing and I would (and often do) recommend that everyone come here and at least get checked out. At the very least you’ll experience some of the nicest, most intelligent people in medicine. But what they offer is so much more, it’s literally life changing.
Two months ago I could barely walk from a bunion on my right foot that had been escalating for over a year. Finally I saw a chiropractor on a whim and was referred to PostureWorks. I never would have thought my spine and neck could cause problems in my feet! I’m happy to say I’m now walking all over San Francisco pain free. Thanks so much Dr. Levin, Dr. Toddhunter, and the rest of the staff, you guys are awesome!

UPDATE!
I got my xrays back from my first round of care and they showed some significant improvements! :) I’m very pleased. I highly recommend coming in for a chat with Dr. Levin if you are struggling with scoliosis.
FINALLY!
I have never felt so at home at any chiropractor or ANY kind of doctors office before. I’ve been going here for about two months to treat chronic pain from scoliosis and the team at Postureworks already feels like family. They really keep it positive and put the patient first. They’re caring and attentive and all have a great sense of humor. I find myself laughing on the daily (not something I’d recommend while you’re in traction LOL)…
It’s not just me either. I see dozens of patients in there a week (because I go four out of the five days they’re open) and everyone just seems to love it…
Dr. Levin… Words can’t express how grateful I am for him. He’s kind, sincere, attentive, understanding, patient, knowledgeable, fun and COMMITED. He has a real interest in healing and understanding the conditions he treats AND he explains things well. He truly understands what it’s like to be in chronic pain and his generous support (as well as that of the rest of his awesome team) has been utterly invaluable to me.
I’m so profoundly grateful already.
I have some time before I can discuss the results of my actual treatment, but I feel completely confident that I will be reporting back with amazing results. I have never felt so trusting of a team before and it feels so damn good.

I have been going to Postureworks for over 2 years now. I have literally seen the changes in my posture both on the x-​rays and in the mirror. I have gotten compliments from my friends about how my posture is noticeably improved. Dr. Levin is amazing. If you are looking for a quick fix he is not your guy. He puts together comprehensive personalized solutions that you are comfortable with. I have seen the long term results of not addressing these issues early on with my older family members, who suffer from arthritis, hunched posture and forward head. This is something I wanted to prevent and Postureworks has helped me do that.

Having never visited a chiropractor before this was a great first experience. All the staff members were friendly and helpful when it came to setting everything up.
I had been suffering from a laundry list of symptoms that were preventing me from working out and doing my job. I’m a personal trainer and it was embarrassing that I was having difficulty demonstrating things for my clients. I even had clients that would out perform me in the exercises.
Once I had my initial appointment with Dr. Levin I was so relieved to hear that all my issues were simple fixes that just needed a little time. After the first week of my adjustments I could already feel the difference. I was getting about 6 – 8 hours of sleep a night, but I would always wake up feeling as if I hadn’t slept at all. After the adjustments I would wake up feeling refreshed and have a clear head throughout the day. I finally felt normal.
After 4 months of adjustments, the difference is incredible. I’ve been able to get back to my old workout routine. I’ve never slept better and after what feels like years of terrible sleep, I can wake up and feel refreshed. My posture has never been better. I’ve sent two of my clients so far to them for the same treatment and I’ve noticed a significant improvement after just 2 weeks.
I cannot recommend them enough. There is not enough stars to rate just how impactful they have been in changing my life for the better. I have learned so much through them and will continue to visit as long as I can.

I was skeptical. I initially felt like I was getting a sales pitch and I was annoyed. Being direct, I gave that feedback and I spoke at length with Dr. Levin. What I left with from our conversations was that the intent, goal was to get their clients to optimal health. They care about overall health — and they look at the big picture. Yes, it is a business (yeah I was annoyed about the if you pay upfront its cheaper versus insurance) but when I stepped back and looked at what I was getting and cost, it was a total bargain.

I’ve never gone to a chiropractor before but after my whiplash when snowboarding I felt a series of pains throughout my neck and back. My coworker had told me about this place (he has been to many chiropractors before) and I think the selling point is that they «look at your body from a structural engineering point of view» (absolutely true).
I started with a free one-​hour consultation where Dr. Levin asks a series of questions, questions that makes you think and lead to other things that you realize. He was very detailed and descriptive in explaining how the body works and why certain things affects other parts. I also had a set of photos and x-​rays taken to see how my body aligns itself. Afterwards, I began my sessions.
Within several weeks the constant pain in my neck was gone, the pronation on my feet was gone, and I am more aware of my neck posture and how it should be. Also, when I had an injury from backpacking, Dr. Corey took time out of our normal sessions to tend to my ankle injury and taped up my foot for me. They are very flexible an everything, such as working out an affordable payment plan, and are fully concerned with my health and progress and how that aligns with my goals.
I’d love to highlight the fact that they always take an overall perspective of the body, rather than focus on one part at a time. The body parts do not function individually, they function together as a whole and that needs to be taken into consideration in medicine.

I was a hockey player for over 20 years and went in to correct my bio mechanical issues. Within weeks of my individualized program, I saw results I never felt before and my overall health improved. I’m now able to activate muscles that were never able to activate and my posture has improved. Highly recommended and the staff is very professional.

When I first heard about PostureWorks and the type of care that was done there, my first instincts were threefold. Primarily my curiosity was piqued as an aspiring physician wanting to learn more about the human body and looking at it from a different angle. Secondly I was a bit skeptical about their claims that making small changes in posture could make very big differences in overall health. Lastly I was cautiously optimistic that this new method of BioPhysics could help to ease some of the tension in my lower back garnered from old gymnastics injuries.
I am happy to report that after going to PostureWorks for almost 3 months now that my eyes have been opened to a new way of looking at the nervous system that coordinates all of our body’s movements voluntary and involuntary. All skepticism about the power of making small changes and the difference that they can make to one’s overall health has been thrown out the window. Lastly, the health of my lower back has improved to the point that I would recommend this method to anyone suffering from mild to acute back pain; I am in the process of referring family and close friends.
Prior to starting care I was in bad shape, worse shape than I cared to admit to myself. The human body has a profound ability to adapt to discomfort to the point where it becomes our new normal. It was only after I started getting care that I realized that normal could, and should, feel a lot better than what I had been experiencing.
The first thing that struck me when coming in for my new patient examination was that this was a different type of chiropractic care. I had never heard of a chiropractic physician taking digital X-​ray images and using them to see what structural and postural idiosyncrasies my body possessed. I had never seen chiropractic care with the option of a nutritional supplement program for patients specifically interested in weight loss (see NutraWorks). The practitioners here use state of the art devices (check out the power plates while you’re here), peer reviewed research, personal experience, and years of combined knowledge, to make personalized treatment plans for each patient. There are check-​ups using further diagnostic imaging and regular patient physician check-​ins to see what is working and how to engender efficiency in getting patients to their new normal. I have had interactions with Drs. Levin, Miller, and Todhunter on different occasions and although they all have their own style, they all take their time to listen to you as a patient and adapt to efficiently ease discomfort and get you well.
In summary, the entire clinical staff is welcoming, knowledgeable and tirelessly working towards healing each patient. The assistant clinical staff, and all support staff find their niches in constructively promoting health and wellness. I have only had positive interactions at PostureWorks from the time I enter the front door to treatment, to leaving the clinic feeling better about my health, mind, and body.
I hope in the future to provide for my patients the overall experience offered by PostureWorks.

I visited posture works due to issues with my jaw, which had been locked for some time due to TMJ. I was seeking a holistic approach to healing my jaw and found exactly this. Dr Scott and Dr Kevin took the time to not only address my concerns but teach me about the complex ways in which this one issue was tied to the rest of my body. As such treatment was very comprehensive and resulted in rectifying my posture and aligning my spine. Though I left still needing to see a Tmj specialist, my experience there left me more mindful of my posture and with useful strategies to support my whole health. Everyone at posture works is incredibly friendly, warm and professional and when I can afford to see a regular chiropractor while living in the Bay Area, they will be the ones I choose.

Fantastic group of people! Great staff… scheduling and reminders are a nice touch.

Dr. Miller and Dr. Levin are absolutely wonderful. I went to see them because my TMJ was acting up and neither my dentist nor my physician could help me (nor did they seem to want to!) and I didn’t want to continue to pump myself full of medication. I used to work for a Chiropractic office in High School/​College and knew they could help. They have helped with my TMJ, my lower back pain and my neck/​shoulder pain. They take the time to listen to me and answer any questions I ever have, no matter how silly!
Not only are the doctors amazing, everyone in the office is great. Christina, Yasmine, Honorine and Dan are so helpful and so sweet.
This is a comprehensive health solution, not just a place to get adjusted, which is something that I think everyone should look for!
I highly recommend PostureWorks to anyone! You won’t be disappointed.

OMG! I’ve been to Chiropractors for years now but nothing prepared me for these guys! I had already lost 55lbs. with their sister company, Nutraworks so I was already predisposed to at least hear them out. I expressed my concern over a trigger finger and bursitis in my shoulder when I was informed that they might be able to help me. I said why not, if you do as good work as you did with my diet let’s try it. Well, these guys went above and beyond! I am now completely pain free, circulation has returned to my feet, my shoulder pain is a memory, my trigger finger is a thing of the past and now I’m working towards corrected posture and better health! These guys ROCK! And if any of the above is not convincing enough they are literally on the bleeding edge of technology now employing a new Power machine originally developed for the Soviet Cosmonauts and since perfected by Nasa. I am walking straighter than ever before, I feel so much better and I’m only half way through my treatment plan! Everything is explained in plain English with the glee of a kid discovering something new, I am NEVER adjusted without having them look at my x-​rays before each adjustment! And their staff is as excited to work there as they are! Does it get any better than this? Healthcare never felt this good! I’ve since referred quite a few friends and they too have the same experience I do. So if you are inclined to let your own body help heal whatever ails you you owe it to yourself to check these guys out, sure beats cortisone shots, surgeries and months of pain! Dr. Miller and Levin are some of the most dedicated Practitioners I’ve ever encountered!

Dr. Levin and Dr. Miller are two of the best medical practitioners I’ve ever worked with – not only are they highly skilled and knowledgeable, but they are deeply committed to their patients’ overall health and vitality. I worked with them in a consistent way over the course of a year, and not only did I see measurable improvement in my posture, but I literally feel «taller» on a day to day basis, and I have much better core strength because I worked with the exercises provided by their excellent staff. PostureWorks’ combination of sophisticated medical knowledge and extraordinary people skills are truly unique.

I’m 24 years old and I was having severe back pain every 6 weeks. I always thought I must of slept wrong or was just stressed out. Finally my boyfriend tired of being my personal masseur and suggested I see a chiropractor. I was a bit hesitant but having reached a new level of excruciating pain I did some research and called PostureWorks.
I called and spoke with Dr. Levin, he could tell I was in a great deal of pain and was able to see me that afternoon. After getting x-​rayed Dr. Levin showed me what was causing my pain; my spine had 2 curvatures and my neck was unnaturally straight. I was relieved to have a cause of my headaches, dizziness, nausea, asthma attacks, and of course my back pain! Dr. Levin gives a detailed explanation of the causes and a plan to correct them. He strives to help you better understand your body and teaches you how to be more aware of it.
I have now been going to PostureWorks for 3 months and am ecstatic! Dr. Levin is a rare find. He is one of the few doctors I have met that truly cares about his patients’ health and not just one aspect of it. He genuinely goes above and beyond to make sure that his patients are healthy in every way. If he can’t help you he will go out of his way to refer you to someone that can.
2 weeks prior to my visiting PostureWorks I had one of the most severe asthma attacks I’ve had in years. Dr. Levin has taught me breathing exercises and I haven’t had ANY asthma issues in the last few months. I can actually take a deep breath and even when my allergies are going crazy I haven’t had to use my inhaler!

Laser-​like pain shooting through every part of my head every time I flew on a plane or went through elevation change.
–GONE!- After 3 months of 3x/​week adjustments with Dr Scott and traction to realign my cervical curve. Crazy what can happen when a few vertebrae are just a few millimeters off.
He also identified and adjusted a couple other areas of imbalance in my spine that would’ve caused future health issues. Its amazing to see and feel the change in my whole body since the curvature of my spine has been restored close to ideal.
From the very first consultation I knew this was a totally different kind of chiropractic care than I’ve ever encountered. They base all of their treatments on current x-​rays (off site and totally affordable as I don’t have health insurance) and precise measurements that are customized for each bodies needs. They take their time with each person answering questions and educating on self care practices so that their work sticks! Yes, PostureWorks is corrective care but it’s purpose is also preventative.
Dr Scott, Dr Miller and the office staff are very caring and generous with their time and resources. They have made the necessary time and financial commitments completely doable and worthwhile.
The quality of your life is directly related to your physical/​emotional health and will increase dramatically with appropriate care! I cannot say enough good about the benefits I have received since PW treatments; I am so grateful to have discovered them.

PostureWorks changed my life! The care offered by this office as a whole is unparalleled. Dr. Levin was able to identify my needs and areas of pain and prescribe a plan that not only completely removed my back pain, but allowed me to live a normal life at the same time! I used to not be able to sit in a chair for more than an hour without severe discomfort and after the pain was there, I just couldnt shake it. Now I’m able to sit, stand, bend, etc. without pain and without the fear of pain returning. I thought it was inevitable because bad backs run in my family, but after learning more about the philosophy behind PostureWorks, everything the doctors here do is logical (and they’re more than happy to explain).
I see there are some haters that have given poor reviews — if you read them, you’ll see that Julia never actually got care from PostureWorks and Devisor is complaining about the part of the practice I love the most — the full body attention. Not only did Dr. Levin focus on my back pain, he also cared for the other parts of my body that were also painful. I have terrible shoulders from years of competitive swimming and water polo — they feel better than they ever have. I have bad knees, they now feel great. Even when I come in after a hard workout and am just generally sore, Dr. Levin has ways to ensure I’m feeling better the next day. I used to have severe stomach pain — gone!
The idea is that the spine is the control center for most of our internal organs, so if your spine is in good health, your body will likely be too. I am glad to report that since first attending PostureWorks I am healthier and happier.
The best part about PW is the staff. Dr. Levin is great as is Dr. Miller and all of the assistants that work there. Everyone is super knowledgeable and so nice. It’s almost like having another little chiropractic family :) Cheesy, I know, but go to PostureWorks if you have body pain and you’ll feel better for sure!

Buyer beware! Wow, I wish I had a better experience here because I think they are doing something revolutionary in the world of chiropractic care, but they have some shady business sense. I bought a Groupon that included an exam and adjustment, but they failed to mention ahead of time that I would need to buy a set of xrays before the adjustment. My insurance does not cover the kind of xrays they need, so it would have ended up costing $ 200 before I could get my adjustment. This, of course, makes practical medical sense, but I didn’t have the dollars and cents to do it. If I they had published that anywhere, I wouldn’t have bought the deal to begin with because I wouldn’t have been able to afford it. So, now I’m stuck having had just a consultation, telling me everything that is wrong with my body, but no way to fix it until I come up with the dough. Bummer.

Although competent, I felt that Dr. Levin’s process was somewhat unethical. I felt that his practice was to identify every possible little problem that a person could have and add it up to be a ‘serious health issue’ and a ‘spinal disease’. After several visits to other more seasoned Chiropractors, and several second opinions, my overall feeling was that his approach was based on fear and exclusivity, stating that he had to ‘accept me as a patient’. The vagueness of his initial consultation left me knowing nothing about what to do next other than get x-​rays and return for another session. I was expecting an adjustment but only received a entry level evaluation of my spine. I was unable to get any pricing information from his on how much it would be to actually give me an adjustment — again, the whol exclusivity card of him not even knowing if he wanted to take me as a patient.
I ended up going to see a seasoned Chiropractor who used his schooling and knowledge of the body to give me a much needed adjustment and now I am already feeling much better.
My overall impression is that they have a good intention at posture works, but I was left feeling like I was applying to be in a special program that eventually would help me — not like I had been helped with my current condition at the present moment. I do not like having to sign up for a program, I just wanted an adjustment.
In that way, this is not a normal chiropractor’s office, they are looking for long term clients. For that reason, I gave them 1star. perhaps for people who do want to see a chiropractor every week for a year, they are the right choice. However, I would recommend seeing a more traditional provider focused on helping their patients right away, and not delaying care for un-​necessary process. I expect Dr. Levin will grow out of this as he becomes a more seasoned practitioner.

I am a chiropractor in Alameda. PostureWorks is where I travel to have my spine checked. Dr. Jason and Dr. Scott are far superior to all the chiropractors I pass on my drive to San Francisco and worth every penny. You will not find quality spinal care like this anywhere else in the area.

Posture Works saved my back!
Dr. Levin and Dr. Miller know what they’re doing. They make you feel very comfortable and they take the time to explain what’s going on so you can be a part of your healing. I was dealing with an injured back from a work injury and they guided through every step of the way. Also, they’re specialist Iris is so helpful and communicates very well, making sure you’re informed the whole time.
These guys are more than chiropractors. Not only do they work with the joints and spine, they also work the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and everything that’s involved in your back to get you back to perfect posture.
