See all

I had never been to a chiropractor before and honestly was a little nervous--I'm not someone who even cracks my own knuckles! But from the moment I walked into Dr. Balch's office, I felt completely at ease. Dr. Balch is incredibly patient, kind, and professional. He took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand, which made the whole experience much less intimidating. I appreciated that he didn't just treat the issue, but also gave helpful suggestions on what I could do at home to better improve my posture. The office is very well-organized and the entire process--from check-in to treatment--is smooth and efficient. The receptionist is always welcoming and friendly, and I especially love the muscle massage therapy they offer before adjustments. It really helps loosen everything up! They accept Kaiser, and with my insurance, the copay is only $15--super affordable for the quality of care you get. I've already recommended Dr. Balch to several friends and family members, and I'll continue to do so. PS: parking is super easy and they have an easy to use schedule appointment app. read more

Dr Balch and the team are fabulous! I have been working with him on and off for a couple of issues. Offices are clean, staff is great to deal with. Dr Balch is gentle, efficient and effective! I love this practice! read more

I've been a patient of Dr Balch for a very long time. My spine has always had an S curve. Over the years adjustments helped keep my spine straighter. Intermittently I would come in for tune-up adjustments. Dr. Balch recently told me of a new option, it's called Focused Shock Wave Therapy. It administers a painless sound wave to get blood flowing in the injured area and help cells recover. With age I've have had increasing pain and thought there's nothing to lose. In fact after the very first treatment, pain relief that lasted. It's a hand held non-invasive, precise & targeted application of the shock wave from the apparatus just where your problem area is. I went back two more times. SO FANTASTIC, I have more movement without discomfort. I can take a longer drive now without Tylenol. The treatment takes only minutes. It's been months now, remarkable. If you are having certain issues, this may be the answer. Highly reccommended! read more

Dr. Balch is hands down one of the best chiropractors I've ever been to. He's incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and takes the time to explain everything clearly. Every session isn't just a quick adjustment and out the door; they go all in. You get electric stim therapy, heat therapy, and they even use the Hypervolt to loosen everything up before the adjustment. I always leave here feeling better than when I walked in. As a first responder, it's not always easy to find places that truly understand the physical demands of our work, let alone accommodate our crazy schedules. I'm so grateful to have found a clinic that not only works for us but truly supports our wellness. It's been a game changer for my back, neck, and honestly just overall stress. And Cheryl at the front desk? She is the absolute sweetest. From the moment you walk in, she makes you feel welcome and cared for--her warmth and kindness really set the tone for the whole visit. I also have to shout out Rachel, their massage therapist--she has magic hands. Her deep tissue work is unlike any I've ever experienced before. She knows exactly how to get to the root of the tension and actually help it heal. The vibe in the office is calm, friendly, and genuinely supportive. You can tell they truly care about their patients. Highly recommend to anyone, especially fellow first responders, looking for quality chiropractic care with a personal touch. read more

good service and excellent doctor in Dr. Dennis Bach. I brought my twin sons to him too and they like the service too. Pains are manageable now.. read more

It's only my 3rd visit with Dr Balch but he is the one I will continue to visit from now on with my neck issues. He's great with doing my adjustments, I also get back massages, I love the muscle stimulating machine and most of all, the new traction machine! I highly recommend him & his staff. read more

My sciatica has improved more tremendously under Dr Balch's treatment and care. I started visiting him last March 2024 and the approach in reducing the pain episodes was aggressive which I embraced totally. read more

I've come in several times now to see Dr. Isero. I've had consistent pain in my left hip for the last couple of years now and as a new, nursing mother, I've developed new aches and pains in my upper back and carpal tunnel in my right wrist. Dr. Isero's adjustments have significantly helped my pain management and it's a couple of weeks before I need to go in again for another adjustment. He also has good bedside manner and makes conversation throughout your visit so you have a very comfortable experience. There's parking in the private lot in the back. Appointment times are flexible, and it's always been easy to find a time that works with my schedule. I'm in and out in about 20 minutes with each of my visits. During the pandemic, the staff has been very diligent about making sure safety standards are met, including enforcing mask wearing and providing hand sanitizer. I've felt very safe coming here despite us being in the middle of a pandemic. read more

Dr Balch has worked on my Neck, Back, Shoulder, Hip efficiently for a quicker recovery. Cheryl at front desk is very friendly and professional. Highly Recommended. read more

Great Dr. The adjustment was quick and efficient and I feel. The electrical stimulation before the adjustment was a feature I really enjoyed. Thank you! read more

Very flexible hours, but one of the worst offices I've ever been to. The office is very outdated and the equipment seemed very old. The adjustment table was always dirty and I would have to wipe it down myself. One red flag. Dr. Balch was very kind. He was very busy, so it seemed like he didn't care much about his patients. I had to remind him several times that he cannot use the TENS machine on me due to medical reasons. Another red flag. The front office... They are so unorganized and they hire a bunch of younger employees. One of them was wearing a crop top and told me I would get an itemized receipt at the end of my appointment. She told me about 3x that she would have it printed out, but admitted she didn't know how to process it. Another receptionist was giving one of the doctors a lot of attitude and screaming at the front. I've witnessed two of them arguing in front of patients. Just dealing with front office staff was a headache and such an uncomfortable experience. Another red flag. Sammy, one of the assistants, was incredibly kind. He gave the BEST therapeutic massages. He seemed more skilled than the doctor. read more

I've been coming here for the past 7-8 years over a dozen of times. My experience with Dr Balch has always been positive. I've found the muscle relaxer particular helpful (I have at least 6 massages a month but I've found the muscle relaxer work deeper into muscle so I like to mix acupuncture, massage and chiropractic adjustment as they all have their pros and cons) I would like to particular point out their staff Sammy (Sammi ) who is very patient , gentle and very good at the pre adjustment massage. He really listens to your concerns and works on the concerns. It's definitely a bonus for me. I would definitely recommend my friends and acquaintances to Dr Balch and Sammy read more

Back in 2019, I experienced a tremendous amount of pain on my total left side due to a punched nerve in my upper back region. On a scale from 1 to 10, I was experiencing a 9. I've had this before in the past, so I thought i'd waited it out until it goes away. Two weeks later, the pain got worst. Went to see my primary physician at Washington Hospital in Fremont. We took X-Rays and an MRI. Found out I have cervical spondylosis on upper regions C2-C7. The pinch was at C4-C5. So, my primary doctor prescribed me some pain meds and 3 weeks of Physical Therapy in the month of November 2019. I went to 4 sessions a week for 3 weeks with my Physical Therapist. The pain was still there after 3 weeks. I remember I was popping pain meds like candy just for the pain to go away even for a short time. After my 3 weeks, I decided to go outside the spectrum from my primary physician and see a chiropractor. In the month of December, that's when I discovered Alliance Chiropractic in Milbrea. I live in Fremont, so the commute was a good 45 minutes away. I got in contact with the front office and they were so helpful and professional in setting up my first appointment. Got to the office and that's when I met Cheryl and Stephanie. The greeted me with all smiles, helped me with my insurance work, and we're very professional and helpful with anything that I had a question about. Being that this was my first appointment, I was a little nervous. I met Dr. Dennis Balch in the waiting room as I talked about my experiences with my primary physician, physical therapy experiences, and my past of being an athlete. Being the profession and experienced doctor he is, he knew exactly what he needed to do in order for my pain to reside and be eliminated. He vividly explained to me what was happening and what was causing the pain within me. He then explained to me the procedures of what he was going to do to help me. For the first week of December, I went to see Dr. Balch for 3 days out of the week for 3 weeks. Mid fourth week of December, my pain was completely ELIMINATED !! I remember calling the staff and talking with Dr. Balch with relief and excitement. I couldn't believe it as I had no pain on my left side while being totally mobile. This brought me back to 100%. Since then, i've been scheduling monthly office visits just to keep up with maintaining my adjustments and keeping up with my health. I give all the credit to the front staff for making me feel at home when I visit them, and Dr. Dennis Balch for his professionalism and expertise of what he enjoys doing....helping people live a better life on the daily while maintaining a healthy life style. Thank you everyone for all you do. ~ Roger read more

I saw Dr. Jandial a few years ago for "neck issues" (which years later I learn was a misdiagnosis for chronic migraines). Anyway, my posture also sucks because I'm on a desk all day and don't stand up straight either. Dr. Jandial put me on a neck cervical traction device for several months, with increasing "pull" on my neck. I complain it hurt and he assures me that "It'll get worse before it gets better". I continue to go, with some sessions pulling my neck to the point tears come out of my eyes because of the pain. All the while he assures me, "It'll get worse before it gets better". I stop going because this isn't helping me at all. Since going here: 1. I can no longer sleep on my side due to neck pain. 2. I can no longer do exercises like sit-ups due to a weird pain and clicking that happens with my neck. 3. Other neck-affecting exercises like ab crunches are extremely touchy (i.e. I can only do the partial movement due to neck clicking and pain). Every few months I ask myself if I should sue for malpractice. If you do decide to go here please make sure you're seeing progress; don't be an idiot like me and continue to go while it gets worse. read more

Refuse to come back here. First Dr I saw was way to gentle. The second Dr I saw I was charged a new customer fee, within the same office, which I thought was just unfair and not right. Left my visit with a new pain on my lower side which I thought may go away but one week later it's still there. I would recommend trying somewhere else. read more

They are great. I got an adjustment and it helped a lot. Nice staff easy to schedule. I will be back as needed.

Dr Isero...is a merical worker!!! Seriously,,,,,,,,,!!!! I thought I was having a heart attack with heart pulsing between my rib cage 7 xs a day for 2 months ever since I fell out of a raft and went 1 mile down a Costa Rican River! Om...lord. I came home and the heart pulsating would not stop. Alsmost to the emergency 4 xs..but held out. Got over 75,000 worth of tests and Drs appt. (thank god for Insurance). Then one day I was staging a house and I could not withstand this...the reator said go to your chiropractor if may help. So instead of going to hospital...I made apt with Dr Isero..he ajusted me...and I have not had one more experience of the fluttering heart fell between my rib s. It is unbelieveable. This is a over due review...that I finally have gotten to and well worth telling my story. Thank you Dr Isero for your expertise....I am sooooo gratefull to this day. Sincerely, Yvette read more

Dr. Balch has been working on me the past two months now. Initially came here for pain. Since I've been coming my symptoms have decreased. He did an assessment when I first became a patient and listened to what I liked and what I didn't like from previous docs. I definitely recommend Dr. Balch. He's easy to communicate with and helps explains things that are going on. Other staff on board are also great. Some of the staff are simultaneously attending school so they have been quick to provide education around my questions. Clinic treats you like a long time friend and that's a huge plus in my opinion. read more

I don't know where my review went for this place. Let me explain what lead me to seek chiropractic services. At the time I was feeling sharp pain shooting to one side. I work as a nurse and it's not a very forgiving job. Dr. Isero assessed me for my sciatica, and scheduled sessions to alleviate the pain. Now I come in every month for my maintenance. I have referred family members here and they love him. I have been going to Dr. Isero for many years now, and will continue to do so. Wonderful bedside, funny, and personable. All the other Doctors here are cool as well and they all vibe together. read more

Dr Dennis Balch is great! I was in a car accident in March. Came to him the next day since the impact was so bad... The thing I like about Dr.Dennis compare to other chiropractor I have been to it's because he uses this water jet pack on the back that stimulate your muscles. Parking is pretty easy to find. His office is right off el Camino and there's a lot within the building to park. Would highly recommend Dr.Balch! read more

I wish I would have made an appointment here sooner!!! I was referred by my primary care doctor to this office, specifically Dr. Balch. The referral meant a lot to me. I had been fearful of going to see a chiropractor because I didn't know what to expect. I'm so glad I went! I had been battling back pain and having my back go out periodically for more than a year. I went to see Dr. Balch and the pain lessened and I haven't felt at all like my back was going to go out since. My appointments began as weekly and then reduced to once a month after I started feeling better. I'm pain free and my life has really improved - I don't have fear that my back will go out every time I pick up my toddler. The front office staff is very friendly! They make it easy to book/change appointments and they make the check in and payment process easy breezy. read more

This crew is top notch, but my gratitude is for Dr. Isero, who helped me during a painful hip situation I was having after a car accident, and then Rachel, who is probably the best massage therapist I have ever been to. I feel like I get my sight back every time I see her. read more

I recently moved to Hawaii, injuring myself in that process. I found competent Hawaiian chiropractors, but none gave me the relief and mobility I got back home with Dr. Dennis Balch. Despite the expense, I decided to book a flight to CA and hotel stay near Alliance Chiropractic. Their front desk also deserves mention, professional and they got me the schedule I needed. I am on my final day here (day 5), and can say I found the relief I was expecting. I can walk greater distances, stand straight up without the stabbing pain I had for four months. Many chiropractors have a gift to heal. Are intuitive healers. But, in my opinion, Dr. Balch has it all. Ive found him to be curious, to employ treatments that have worked for me. To use a wide range of treatments. Going beyond what others do, to the extent I would fly here for his services. I feel confident enough to recommend his services to anyone. read more

Dr. Balch is the best. My first experience with a chiropractor and I'm so grateful. Dr. Balch walks you through what he is doing and the benefits. The front desk staff is also very kind. I would highly recommend! read more

Let me start by saying that I have used chiropractic care for years, with great success. That's why I gave the recommendation to my father to seek out a treatment when he was experiencing severe back pain. In this case, however, Dr. Dennis Balch simply showed a great deal of arrogance and did not listen to the patient, resulting in additional injury. My father went in armed with all of the information that would be needed for accurate treatment.. MRI, and specific movements that made the pain significantly worse. Not only did he not look at the MRI, after my father asked him to and even provided it in advance of the appointment, the doctor continued to proceed with the exact movements that my father told him would cause the pain. Needless to say, he hobbled out of the appointment in twice as much pain and hasn't been the same since. To add insult to injury, my father simply asked for a follow up call from the Dr, which he never received. He didn't have the courage to face an 80+ year old man even over the phone. This has been an extremely difficult time for my family, and extremely concerning from a healthcare provider perspective. Please keep this in mind if you choose to go with this provider. read more

Not very positive experience. I have been there for about a year and I don't feel the doctors there care about you at all. They see me as a walking Benjamin and not a patient. In and out 5 mins. And didn't even provide the care that's include in the procedure. Often time the doctor will leave me with the stimulator for 20 mins and totally forgot about me. The reception is definitely working 9-5 with no passion and there face would tell you they don't give a damn and just counting minutes to get off work. read more

I saw Dr. Jandial after I suffered a pinched nerve in my lower back (it was as terrible as it sounds). I called and about 30 minutes later, I was in an exam room being interviewed by Dr. Jandial. After taking note of the parts of my back that were most painful, he began to make adjustments to my back to help with my body's alignment. A few cricks there and a few cracks there...I started to feel better already. I gingerly left the building and followed his advice to strengthen my lower back muscles. I regularly came back for more visits and drastically felt better after each visit. Be sure to mention new areas that feel sore as the pain tends to drift to other places as your body tries to compensate for weaker areas. Dr. Jandial will get you feeling back to normal in no time! TL;DR: Go see Dr. Jandial to fix your body's ailments. Appointments aren't needed, as I've called 30 minutes ahead and received treatment multiple times. read more

Ive tried Physical therapy for my chronic back pain - its good but not good enough for me. I dont regret going to Dr Balch, at first i was like Whoaaa!! , its like permissive wrestling w/o inflicting pain of course ..but the key to liking the therapy is just to let yourself go.. stay as limp as u can be as he twists your neck, clicks ur back, twists ur entire body. its good to read first about it so u will know what to expect. If u want deep thai massage, deep pressure and streeeetching like yoga -- then this is the therapy for you. TENS usually before every treatment and at times , if the doctor recommends , an hour massage -- and if u have insurance, u just have to pay for ur co payment . in my case $5. =) Come in pain, leave twisted yet happy. read more

Alliance Chiropractic - TENS - Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation machine - Massage Near Me - Millbrae, California

I had a shoulder injury from Jiu Jitsu. Fortunately, Dr. Isero is athletic and understands workout injuries very well as he has also done martial arts in the past. If you get hurt while exercising, look no further. read more

Overall I am very happy with the care I have received from this practice and Dr. Balch in particular. I like that they provide the muscle stimulation and wet heat to help with specific pain areas and strains. They take flex spending cards and I love that I can schedule online. I have to deduct 1 star because no matter how many times I mention it, one adjustment that is normally done crossing the patient's arms and going back is VERY painful on my shoulder and has to be done differently is always attempted the traditional way. I have to stop the doctor every time when he tries to do it. I like that they have a parking lot because street parking disappears fast with Millbrae BART is nearby. read more

I saw Dr. Isero and he listened to my pain issues. He was very professional and friendly. Highly recommend. read more

Dr. Isero really helped me when my back was hurt and became misaligned. He made my back feel better after every session. Eventually I was all better. Alliance Chiropractic is made up of different Chiropractors who practice there... but I only have experience with Dr. Isero. read more

Steve the massage therapist is another awesome guy best massage I evah had ! They took good care of me and got me back to pain free. If you get hurt dont wait. Schedule a visit with my Dr Jandial to get pain free like me. read more

After throwing out my back a few times I finally started to look for a good chiropractor. My dad, and a few friends have been using Dr. Balch for awhile with great results so I started going soon after that. I've gone once a month for a couple years and feel much better having not thrown my back out since going here. Dr. Balch is very easy to talk to and is very knowledgeable. I've referred 4-5 people here who all have had great results as well. I've also dealt with Cindy quite and bit and has managed to handle my crazy schedule. No matter who you go with at Alliance you won't be disappointed. read more

I would like to try this place so I called and asked if they take my insurance which they said they do. I gave them my insurance info over the phone to check if I have to pay any out pocket for services but they said they don't do that instead they want you to come in first, get treatment before they tell you if you have to pay or not. read more

I've been coming here since for 10 years. They have always accommodated my last minute request for appointments because I was in pain. I love that! Dr. Isero is great and I feel great as a result of regular chiropractic treatments in conjunction with a massage every once in a while. What could be better proof about how good a place is than to continue being a customer for over 10 years? Enough said. read more

One hour. That's all we had to deal with, and in reality, it wasn't even really that long. What I mean is that these folks are literally open for chiropractic services for one hour on Saturdays from 9am to 10am. Could seem a little silly if you think about it, but most chiros aren't even open at all on Saturday. So when my wife was in terrible pain this morning, it was off to Yelp on my iPhone to do a search on "chiropractors saturday". Pickings were thin, but at the top of the search results was Alliance Chiropractic. After a call to them and a call back, we rushed over, hoping we could be given enough time for my wife to receive a treatment. We certainly were. Dr. Balch was really great and helpful. He could see how much pain that my wife was in and got right to work. As of tonight, she is still hurting, however after his treatment and subsequent icing and rest, she has improved. Another appointment is scheduled for Monday. Dr. Balch is not going to be our regular chiropractor as we already have one that we go to in Foster City (Dr. Colgin), however, we are grateful to him for having that space for us open today so that my wife could find some relief. I highly recommend Alliance Chiropractic and Dr. Dennis Balch to anybody who seeks chiropractic treatment. The receptionist at the front desk (a Russian lady) could have been a bit kinder and more patient with us, but overall our experience here was fantastic. read more

Found this place from Yelp and the reviews are true. This place is AWESOME! I've been to many chiros all over the Bay Area for the last 14 years. I was torn about writing this review. If this place gets super busy then I won't be able to get my preferred appointment. But they are AWESOME and I must share them! What to love: 1. They are open 5 days and week and Saturdays by appointment. Too many places I've been to are frequently closed. Get a stiff neck and have to leave a voicemail and wait for someone to call you back to let you know they can fit you in in 4 days time. No thanks. 2. I'm being treated by Dr Balch. He has never adjusted me cold. Lie down...crack! It's very hard of the body when they do that. Here they warm up the muscles with heat and stimulation treatment before an adjustment. 3. This is the secret. I really really don't want to tell you! I've been going for 4 months now and only just found out....there is a massage therapist on Wed & Friday mornings! Today I got a heat treatment, followed by therapeutic massage (to soften me up cause my back was like stone) then the adjustment. Ahhhhhh. It was amazing. If I start having trouble getting appointments on Wed's and Fri's...i'm taking this review down!!! FYI you can also pair your adjustment with proper massage. I am lucky that my insurance covers chiro adjustments cause this crack habit of mine could get very costly. read more
