All I can say is WOW! Okay, I can say more than just that but really, if you go here, youll be saying WOW!, too! Where do I start? Back in October 2011, I was training for my Ironman TRI and injured the outside of my left my foot. Even though I was able to complete it and do other TRIs my foot was in constant pain. I went to my Western doctor who took an x-ray because they thought there was stress fracture. Nothing showed up on the x-ray. I went to my long-time chiropractor who has cured many ills in my body but the type of adjustment they did, didnt seem to work this time. I also got acupuncture, which has always helped various parts of me but this time, it also didnt help. I went to a podiatrist who claimed it was tendonitis in my Peroneal tendon and put me in a walking boot (which caused more back pain than it was worth) and tried inserts and insoles and any other in thing at the moment. I even went six weeks without any activity to try to let it heal but it never did. I resigned myself to the pain. Over the course of the next few years, I participated in various events but was always left hobbling for days after. And, then I started to develop a new pain in the joint of my left big toe where it connects to my foot and in the first joint in the big toe. It hurt to bend my toe or walk without shoes on. So, back to the podiatrist I went who told me it was a bunion and that Id eventually need surgery. NO thank you! Thankfully, a few months later, the Leadership Oakland program I direct started and I met Dr. J. He kept encouraging me to come in and get adjusted. Id been to my chiropractor already and was skeptical that Dr. J. could do anything else for me but I opened my mind and went. And, it has been life-changing! The pain on the outside of my foot and in my big toe and joing is GONE! Gone, I tell you! I went for my first run in months and with each step I took, I kept thinking, okay, the pain will come with the next step... okay, the next one... maybe the next one... and four miles later, there was no pain. And even better - the next morning, I was NOT hobbling, I was walking with NO shoes and there was NO pain!!! I didnt know the foot could be adjusted like my back or neck but it can and what a difference it has made in my life. Living with chronic pain is not fun; it starts to affect every part of your life including your general mood and outlook on life. Dr. J and his staff are professional, courteous, warm, supportive, loving AND effective. What more could you ask for from a health care professional! While I came in for a cure for the pain I was experiencing (and received it!), chiropractic care takes care of your whole system, which is why Ive continued on their maintenance plan. I encourage you all to visit Dr. J. at The Source Chiropractice -- you wont be disappointed!

The Source Chiropractic is a platform for healing on every level. Dr. Brett Jones is not only a revolutionary in the art of chiropractic and body care, but one of the most brilliant, loving and capable individuals Ive had the pleasure of meeting. A true pioneer in the realm of customer care, inspiration and the empowerment of the mind, soul and body; his practice is a divinely realized reflection of his spirit with those hes chosen to involve as colleagues an extension of the same. With a strong commitment to community service and cultivation, Dr. Bretts philosophy also recognizes each being and body as unique and individual while additionally encompassing an accompanying and full understanding of the physical human body as a complex and self healing entity, ready and willing to communicate clearly with us if we choose to listen. Brett and his partners remind us to listen! They adjust with intuition and advise from space mindful and heart centered. They aid in the journey towards finding our own center in all realms - through the conduit of our most tangible form. I have only ever left the building in a space of alignment and joy, feeling entirely supported and further prepared to take on my moment to moment in power and balance. The Source Chiropractic also has an avid event schedule! With classes, seminars, talks, parties and opportunities for further learning, growth and connection! It is an all inclusive establishment with events made easily available to all types of beings diverse in age, gender, socioeconomic level, race, etc. Without hesitation, I note The Source Chiropractic to be the most progressive chiropractic / healing practice in Oakland. With the promise of continuing to grow and expand in facilitative care, it will continue to remain strongly connected to its roots and principle ideas surrounding empowerment for the human body and being.

Look no further! Youve found your new chiropractic home!! Im EXTREMELY picky...almost to a point of insanity haha ... when it comes to who takes care of my spine and nervous system. Ive been adjusted by more chiropractors than I can even remember and The Source Chiropractic delivers the goods... time and time again. Ive been getting regular chiropractic care for years now and one of the most important things in finding a doc is finding one who CARES. Ive had many friends who have told me "oh, chiropractic doesnt work, blah blah blah" but I honestly dont think they ever found the right chiropractor for their needs. I am CONSTANTLY and CONSISTENTLY impressed with the knowledge that both of these docs have and their willingness to work with me in my journey towards better health. They are innovative, dedicated, and committed to service. My results have been truly amazing with regular chiropractic care from helping me work through old dance injuries, my allergies going away (what!? yes, and its AWESOME), depression/anxiety are GONE, ADHD - GONE, irregular menstrual cycles- GONE, and countless other changes that have gotten me more connected to myself, my health, and my true purpose. However, I am most grateful for the incredible care that Ive received throughout my pregnancy. There are always other pregnant mamas, babies, and kids in the office getting checked and adjusted which is AWESOME!! Ive met some amazing other families that have totally opened up my community in this journey in to motherhood. I can not wait to bring my new baby in to The Source to get checked and start their life clear and connected!!

I first went to Dr. J a few months ago for back problems related to a torqued SI joint. If you know this injury it results in a myriad of chronic pain and weird asymmetries in the body. I always felt “crooked” and my skewed pant zippers were proof it wasn’t my imagination. Dr. J knew exactly what to do. Over time, his adjustments have relieved the pain. Some nights I’ve gone in and Dr. J has fixed trouble spots before I’ve had a chance to tell them where they are. He’s very gifted at looking at bodies and alignment and seeing what needs to be done. As a yoga practitioner and teacher, I’m very aware of anatomy and my body. But I had given up on relief and forgot what it was like to live without pain. What a difference now. As an added bonus, Dr. J has been working on bringing flexibility back to a six year old bad ankle break. I mention it also because the ankle was another asymmetry that was affecting my spine. The plantar flexion is so much better now that my hips almost touch my heels in child’s pose! I have a yoga studio in the Laurel District where Brett is now located. We are so happy to have another health & wellness related business in the corridor. Dr. J also has a lovely, positive energy which is reflected, in the facility as well. They host fun community events. And have an interesting play area which captivated my 3 year-old grandson. With mixed feelings I’m slowing down on my visits because I feel so much better. But, from what I understand, this is a chiropractor’s goal. Mission accomplished Dr. J! Jean Marie from Anasa Yoga
