Dr Wardwell is a magician. I came to Dr. Wardwell after dealing with achilles pain for 7 years. I'd…read moresee at 4 different doctors and most just told me to rest it or do PT - neither of which were a long-term solution to the pain. Within 5min of being at Dr. Wardwell's practice, he had imaged my achilles via ultrasound, diagnosed it as partially torn and had a proposed treatment plan - PRP and stem cell injections for my back, achilles and foot. He doesn't just treat the injury, but treats the full body, focusing on the the root cause to prevent re-injury. 4mo later - I'm back to running and am not limited in any activity. More importantly, I'm not hobbling out of bed every morning (which previously, I was resigned to doing for the rest of my life). I'm so appreciative for Dr Wardwell and the huge quality of life he has given to me. Also shoutout to Randy, who runs the office and is such a pleasure.

I used to run races, bike, hike, roller blade etc.. I loved being active. After I had my first child, I could walk but with a great deal of pain and spasms galore. After many, many physical therapists, many many physical medicine doctors, a few chiropractors, I am finally seeing signs of success with Dr. Daniel Shadoan. It really took me 6 visits to see enough change to be optimistic. I kept going to him because this was really my last hope. I had tried everything else. Dr. Shadoan is an incredibly kind and compassionate healer. Every time I see him, I believe he truly wants to help me. I have seen soooo many m.d.s who just prescribed medication, pain relievers, etc. who never touched or looked at my body. It was rare to see an m.d. that I believe wanted me to heal. I had one m.d. tell me I was just going to have to accept that I would be this way (and progressively worse) for the rest of my life! I was not very familiar with d.o.s and had more confidence in m.d.s before seeing Dr. Shadoan. Now, I can't believe I didn't go to a d.o. years and years ago! I drive over an hour one way to get to Dr. Shadoan. He is so worth it. You are the reason I joined yelp. I hope to help other people out there in pain or in need. Don't let the wait list and long wait deter you. I waited 3 months to get an appointment with him but it was well worth it.

And I will be forever grateful to Dr Eliot Blackman for his presence on our planet. When he needed support in his practice and brought in new talent, I was resistant to giving up going to Eliot.

I often thought what I would do without Eliot, and he took care of this by bringing in someone who is just like him with the talent and grace to achieve a balanced pain free body. I fell at 3yrs old with a concussion it was at 27 that I found the back pain was due to a structural issue, my L5 and S1 fused. This is when I first had an osteopathic manipulative. In six sessions my life changed. WIth an occasional tune up, or when I over extended myself, I was in for one adjustment and off I went as my body unwound and balanced.

Our son isn't the most verbal kid, but we never imagined it was because he wasn't hearing. Then the…read morepreschool director suggested we get his language assessed. The first step was a hearing test, and lo and behold, he had middle ear fluid and wasn't hearing everything. Little L's ear drums weren't functioning normally. He'd only had one ear infection his entire life, so we had no idea there was any issue with his ears. Plus, sometimes he heard the darndest things. After two failed hearing tests, the Kaiser ENT doc suggested we get him ear tubes. It's a minor surgical procedure and very common these days, but I scrambled to see if there were non-invasive alternatives. We dabbled a bit in CranialSacral, Ayurvedic, and eventually landed in Osteopathy. That's where the very capable Dr. Horn came in and the healing began. I sought out Michael Horn because he practices Biodynamic and Biomechanical Osteopathy, and he's a member of the Cranial Academy. When I called, he was accessible and very nice over the phone. After three 45-minute sessions with Dr. Horn, my son's ear fluid is gone and he can hear again. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/3Mzps3CkJyzE2gLIw-FSwA?select=tJWg-5X4yLxy8t5uH7Ae2A Today we had a hearing test at Kaiser Audiology and my son's hearing is well within the range of normal for the first time since we've tested it as a toddler. We dodged the surgery, and this mom couldn't be happier. Dr. Horn is practices non-invasive hands-on osteopathic medicine and he's excellent with patients. When the session is over, he makes a balloon out of an exam glove for my son. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/3Mzps3CkJyzE2gLIw-FSwA?select=kPHZoP9f8BvNlNPWrD8RYQ 5 stars for healing and avoiding surgery!

A few years ago I hurt my lower back. I did what most people do and went to a chiropractor for…read morequite a few sessions. My back felt a little better, but after months of annoying pain, my back still hurt. Bummer. I was referred to Hennie (Doctor of Osteopathy) by my acupuncturist at the time (who swore by her) and was able to get an appointment a couple of weeks later. A few days after making the appointment I received an envelope in the mail with some information about what Osteopathy is and what it can do for you. OK, this was very helpful, because who the hell knows about this stuff? No one I know. So, off I went to Hennie. The first appointment took about 1.5 hours and she said it would probably take 3 - 4 sessions to fix my back. It's hard to explain what she did to my back, but it was kind of like a light massage with lots of stretching and a little pressing. She is gentle and has very warm loving hands. After 3 sessions, not 4, my back was completely healed. I had wasted hundreds of dollars on the chiropractor. The appointments with Hennie were not cheap (and not covered by my insurance), but it was totally worth it not having chronic back pain any longer. I recently went to see her and again, it was a great experience. I highly recommend Hennie and the Osteopathy for anyone who has back pain. F*** chiropractors, I will NEVER go see one again, it's a bunch of BS. Go see Hennie and get your back fixed quickly. Why should anyone be seeing a chriropractor for many visits when you can get your back fixed in a couple of visits? It would have been much cheaper paying Hennie for a few sessions than the 10 or so at the chiropractor. Oh, she's a very cool person who loves to talk politics too. Great!

Hennie is amazing. What people don't necessarily understand (but should) about osteopaths is that…read morethey go through the same amount of training and school as MDs plus they learn a whole other form of therapy/school of thought about human health/wellness. They are licensed in all 50 states and considered "full physicians." The down side is that because of the system, many DOs dont get to practice their manipulations once their residencies begin. The numbers are like 13% of D.O.'s perform advanced practice manual manipulations as part of their full medical practice. And Hennie is one of these 13%, and I believe one of only several in the Bay Area who effectively and significantly incorporates this kind of medicine into their practice. Hennie has a great bedside manner, incredibly healing skills through mostly non-invasive sometimes intense (but not necessarily painful) manual manipulations. Needless to say, if you are dealing with muscular skeletal issues Hennie is a great place to start. She is often very effective, but isnt some goddess healer, she knows when to make a referral or send you to PT or specialist. The efficacy and incredibly healing power of Osteopathy, in a way needs to be experienced to be understood. I am currently undergoing some PT for some chronic shoulders issues i've been dealing with and both the PTs were quickly jotting down Hennie's info once they'd heard of an osteopath actually practicing manual therapy. Osteos are hard to come by, and I thought the PTs reaction was telling. There is also a guy who is now practicing in her office, a D.O. she said he also does the manual therapy. I havent seen him, but apparently he has more open availability as he is new to the area. Good Luck!
