Holmes Chiropractic

7 years and still going strong! Dr. Holmes is truly the best chiropractor around.
Thank you for always putting me straight!

Brandon Holmes has always been accommodating for me to get in to see and when I need an adjustment. He is professional and will set you up with a plan to get back on track (as needed). One thing I like is that I never feel that I HAVE to come back in a certain time frame (Unless I’m having a real back issue). If I need an adjustment I come in, otherwise I can just call as needed — and not all practices operate like that. Love the front desk staff too, they are always helpful and accommodating. I’ve had to bring my kids a few times and they get that too, there are kids toys and books in the waiting room which is nice. I’ve also had a massage there and it was great! Highly recommend this practice!

I’m in my 40’s and have seen chiropractors off and on since I was about 15. Some were good, some decent, others terrible. Dr. Holmes, whom I’ve seen for the last couple years just on an «as needed» basis, is absolutely in a league of his own compared to every other chiropractor I’ve ever seen. He is very knowledgeable, friendly and efficient, and he absolutely exudes positive energy during each and every visit! He will tell you what he’s doing and why, and he is so precise with his adjustments it’s truly unbelievable. His staff and he will get you in and out of their lovely and modern office in a beautifully orchestrated, expedient manner. And you will leave there wondering why the hell you waited so long to go get relief from your pain. He has restored my faith in the practice (which, like all other professions, has its duds and those who are mediocre) and I would recommend him HIGHLY to all friends and family and strangers! Already referred two dear friends to him and they are also very happy with their experiences there. If you are like I was and hesitant to try yet another chiropractor, I urge you to give him just one chance. He’s fantastic! !

After only seeing Dr. Holmes for a few visits now, I’m already starting to feel much better. Dr. Holmes really knows his stuff and is very patient thorough and friendly. Dr. Holmes is an amazing chiropractor!

Having gone through several chiropractors when I moved to the area 6 years ago, it took me a little while to find Dr. Holmes. I’m so glad I finally did. I look for chiropractors to be *precise*, knowing exactly what they’re targeting, and what issue (s) they’re solving for. Going on 40 y/​o now, I know the feeling when a DC gives a fake adjustment vs a quality one. Dr. Holmes totally delivers a quality adjustment and evaluation every time.
I’m at the point where I don’t need to go very often (which is a testament to his quality). I see Dr. Holmes these days just once every couple of months or so (to maintain), and on 1-​off occasions when I strain something playing sports or whatever.

Dr. Holmes is outstanding and I should have left a review a long time ago. I’ve had excellent luck getting results here, as compared to my primary healthcare. Dr. Holmes brought instant pain relief to my upper back, lower back, neck and even abdominal/​rib pain. On more than one occasion I had absolutely no luck at John Muir, went to see Dr. Holmes, and walked out completely fixed. The ironic part is that it was also cheaper than all the wasted co-​pays at John Muir. Upon examination, he has often been able to tell me why I came in, before I even tell him where the pain is. Not all chiropractors are created equal– Dr. Holmes is the real deal.

I’ve been receiving chiropractic care from Dr. Holmes off and on for over a decade. Whether I’m seeing him regularly or only when experiencing unusual back pain, Dr. Holmes has been exceptional. I trust him completely. He’s knowledgable, personable and reliable. He always has great answers to my questions and helpful tips on how to address my needs outside of his office. He truly cares about his patient’s well being.
In addition, the reception staff at Holmes Chiropractic are wonderful and the online appointment system is very easy to navigate.
If you are at all in need of chiropractic care (and I really recommend just checking it out if you’ve never done it) I highly recommend going to Dr. Holmes. You’ll be happy you did.
Thanks Brandon!

Just want to give Holmes Chiropractic a shout out. Brandon is still my favorite chiropractor is the Walnut Creek area. I have been seeing him every 2 – 3 weeks for the past 10 years now. Brandon helps me stay healthy and pain free. Thanks again Brandon!

I injured my neck in either a mountain biking accident or from sleeping on a concrete floor one night. I’ll go with the biking accident as it sounds cooler. Regardless of how it happened, I was in some decent pain that radiated from my right shoulder blade, down my right arm, and into the elbow. I knew something was off when I had to switch from my right hand to left when playing darts at a bar with friends — I had no strength in my right arm. I like to keep active and I had to cease all exercise due to this injury; that’s when I started looking for help.
I came straight to Unilocal and found Dr. Holmes. Based upon all of the great reviews I read here, I scheduled an appointment with him. Alex was able to get me in the next day which I greatly appreciated since I felt a sense of urgency.
Once I filled out the necessary paperwork Dr. Holmes called me back almost immediately. He’s a great guy — easy to talk to, very knowledgable and professional, and thorough. He did an assessment and told me what was wrong (essentially a pinched nerve). He told me what he would do, what I needed to do (as patients we can’t rely on our doctors alone to fix everything!), and how long I could expect recovery to take (a handful of weeks).
I did everything he asked of me outside of his office. I came in once a week for a few weeks. I definitely felt improvement. It’s been a couple of months now and I am beyond 100% and back to my active lifestyle that I love.
I’ve been to several chiropractors spanning two decades thanks to chronic back issues. Each one has told me «You need to come in on a very regular basis so I can keep taking your hard-​earned mon… ahem, to keep you adjusted and feeling good!» Dr. Holmes is not like that at all. He shared my enthusiasm in our success of getting me back on track. He then said «It’s up to you what you want to do. Come back in a month, a few months, never — whatever feels best to you and your needs.» Imagine that.
I feel great. I will definitely be going back to Dr. Holmes for regular adjustments and on an «as needed» basis. I do not plan on sleeping on concrete anymore, however crashing my mountain bike is inevitable. Thanks to Dr. Holmes and his entire (wonderful) staff. Go see them! You will be glad you did.

I thought it was about time I wrote a review for Dr. Holmes. I’ve been seeing him now for almost 2 years and could not be happier. As someone who has suffered from chronic back pain since I was 21 years old, largely in part to degenerative disc disease, the only comfort I’ve ever been able to find was through continued chiropractic care. Prior to seeing Dr. Holmes, I loved my chiropractor, and would highly recommend him to anyone. That being said he was a totally different type of chiropractor than Holmes. I would typically go see him once a week, consistently, for almost three years. When he moved, the idea of finding another chiropractor was terrifying. You learn to trust and rely on your chiropractor for everything.
Dr. Holmes was referred to me by some chiropractor friends and I couldn’t be more thrilled. First, since seeing him, my body has been able to hold an adjustment MUCH longer. I went from seeing a chiropractor almost every week, to seeing him maybe every 8 weeks, as needed. Dr. Holmes approach is professional and to the point, which I greatly appreciate. I have never been left waiting and always come out refreshed.
Another benefit of the office is the massage opportunities. Although they book up way in advance, when you are able to squeeze in a massage for the cost of your copay, it’s totally worth it! Additionally the office sells Sombra, a natural anti-​inflammatory. I highly recommend this product to anyone who seeks that additional comfort without taking medication. It is like Icy Hot on steroids. I love it.
Overall I would highly recommend Dr. Holmes. He is knowledgeable, kind, and effective.

I’ve never been to a chiropractor before and was a bit skeptical to go see one, but my mid-​back has had a sharp pain every time I worked out for the past 2 months. I hate going to the doctor b/​c I feel all they do is throw meds on it and tell you to rest.
After hearing a couple of recommendations for Dr. Holmes and reading his Unilocal reviews, I sucked it up and made an appointment. The office has some really odd hours, so I just left a voicemail to schedule an appointment. Alex called me back as soon as they opened and happened to get me in the same day.
The office has their own private lot, so no worries about parking. The paperwork for a first timer was a little long, but all necessary info.
Dr. Holmes was professional, seemed easy going, efficient and straight to the point. Did some routine questions & pain examinations. Analyzed my back pain complaints and explained my prognosis anatomically w/​o going too technical. Then just hooked me up with an electro-​muscle-​stimulator, did a little deep tissue massage, cracked every single knuckle in my back (felt AMAZING) and voila! All done! Now I have to take it easy the next few days & see him back for a follow up.
I feel so much better already. I’d definitely come back if needed. :)

This Chiropractor’s office is amazing! Upon entering, I was greeted by a friendly assistant, and made welcome in their impeccable waiting area. I didn’t have to wait long though, because Dr. Brandon came out with a smile to bring me back for my appointment. Dr. Brandon radiates positivity, and is so genuine! He asked me questions about my back, and really listened to what I had to say.
Every time I leave his office, I feel like a new person. He knows just the fix for my back aches. I would highly recommend Dr. Brandon for anyone looking for a chiropractor.

I have been through a handful of chiros and Dr. Holmes-​hands down is by far the best I’ve had worked on me. He knows what he is doing… I am very active and have played basketball all my life. My lower back has paid the price unfortunately and finding Dr. Holmes have made me feel at ease. Each time I have hurt my back he has managed to relieve me from pain and I’m up and walking straight the next day. He is friendly but also professional and goes straight to business (in taking care of you). There’s no gimmick or trying to sell anything– you get what you pay for with this guy. I love that he allows you to relax your muscles first by using a muscle stimulator and massager so he gives you a clean adjustment. He is there to help and he is worth every penny!
I highly recommend Dr. Holmes! Don’t even think twice!

After reading the reviews about Holmes Chiropractic I decided to give him a chance regarding a slipped disk from and motorcycle accident.
Because of my line of work I’m very busy and my schedule is always changing. I advised the staff of this when i made my first appointment. Unfortunately i had to reschedule two appointment because of work. I call the office of Dr Holmes before both appointment and advised them I need to cancel and reschedule.
I woke up this morning unable to get out of bed because of my back pain. I call the office of Dr Holmes and tried to make an appointment. The staff stated that Dr Holmes refused to see me because i had reschedule two different appointment. I once again asked the stuff if it was a normal pratice of Dr Holmes to refuse patient care. Staff stated its because i reschedule two appointment. I could not believe what the staff member was telling me. Very disappointed in this so called medical professional.
On Dr Holmes web site it states he treats his patients like family, I would hate to see how he treats his enemy!

I’ve seen my fair share of chiropractors over the years and never really enjoyed traditional adjustments due to the sloppy neck adjustments.
I started seeing Dr. Holmes in January 2014 and I am really glad that I made the change. Dr. Holmes really takes the time to ensure you understand his process and what you can expect for treatment. Before your adjusted, he makes sure that you are relaxed and have not tightened up to ensure a nice clean adjustment.
His staff and his on site massage therapist are both friendly and professional.
If you are in need of great chiropractic care, Holmes Chiropractic will get you back in shape.

I am an admitted aging wannabe athlete that pushes too hard from time to time. Brandon has been very patient & professional in putting me back together. I am so comfortable with his capabilities that I have referred family and friends to Brandon.

I have truly always been skeptical about Chiropractors until I went to see Dr. Holmes and he work with me so I could turn my neck without pain. I had gone to massage therapist and nothing help. I went to Dr. Holmes for 4 sessions and I was as good as new. His receptionist is awesome and so accommodating. Thank God for Dr. Holmes, he is everything everyone says he is.

Great Experience! After just a few sessions my back pain is completely gone!

Dr Holmes is very down to earth. Unlike many other chiropractors, his goal is to keep you out of his office buy effectively treating the issue correctly the first time. He then offers education, stretches, and other easy exercises as a preventative measures, to help with alignment. His pricing is VERY reasonable, and I’m so thankful for not getting rodeoed into a lengthy unnecessary prepaid treatment plan again when its been shown that as long as I do my preventive stretches and exercises, my trips to the chiropractor become less and less.

I work at a desk for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. As you can imagine, my back is out of whack. Dr. Holmes has really worked with me to ensure I am all straightened out! His adjustments always make me leave feeling refreshed and aligned, walking taller and working smarter. He sets realistic expectations with the exercises he gives me to work on my own and I definitely notice a difference in my posture and pain management since becoming a patient. Dr. Holmes’ experience and professionalism is apparent and I could not be more satisfied.
The office is relaxing and convenient with a huge parking lot, right off the freeway and across the street form BART for easy access. I have since moved to San Francisco and continue to take trips out to see him.
Thanks Dr. Holmes!
