Lower back pain is the most common reason people walk through this door. It can come from a disc problem, a muscle strain, a sacroiliac joint that's locked up, or years of sitting in a chair that doesn't fit your body. Whatever the cause, Dr. Robert Townsend, DC evaluates how your lumbar spine is moving, identifies the restriction, and adjusts accordingly. He has treated lower back pain in Oakland's Glenview neighborhood for 17 years. Walk in Monday through Thursday — no referral, no appointment, no wait list.
Most back pain patients are adjusted on their first visit. Total visit time runs 25–35 minutes. X-rays are not required.
