First of all let me say that I used to be extremely afraid to have any chiropractic work done. I had made up my mind that would never see a chiropractor. Luckily that fear is gone now. I was having severe tension in my neck and shoulders that eventually spread to my jaw, resulting in DAILY headaches and pain. The right side of my face and jaw became numb from the nerves being pinched. I walked around like this for nearly two years, taking pain medication to try to relieve it. Nothing, not massages, not ibuprofen, not ice, NOTHING worked. I was completely miserable. My husband started seeing Simon for back pain, and when he started to get better, I thought maybe there's someway Simon could help me that didn't involve adjustments. I went for my initial consult and Simon assured me that it wasn't normal for me to be living like that and that he could help me. He took my fear and anxiety into consideration and worked at a pace I was comfortable with. He started with active release therapy (which is amazing) , and then once I was comfortable, an adjustment. I haven't looked back since, and now I go DAYS without any headaches or jaw pain. I really feel like I have my life back. And I love getting my neck adjusted every week (who would have thought ) Thank you Simon! read more

Dr. Kuang is freaking amazing!! I have been suffering with major nausea from clogged ear pressure that wont "pop" as well as some back pain from sitting at a desk all day with poor posture. I've been to the office 3 times and am happy to report that I no longer have to keep barf bags stocked in my car for when I drive to the store. Whatever voodoo magic he's doing to my neck is finally relieving some of that vertigo and pressure in my ears and my quality of life is getting back to normal. Thank God. He also takes his time and genuinely takes pride in his work, unlike some other experiences I've had where you get adjusted and are in and out in under 10 minutes. Historically, I'm terrified of the chiropractor but this experience has been amazing and the fear is pretty much gone. Bonus points for receptionist Kilo, who is the resident office puppy. She's a good girl read more

Great chiropractor. Dr Simon is helping me with my stiff neck and shoulder. His work is efficient and coming in to see him is always a great experience. Willing to help, understand the root cause, offering adjustments and other stretches for homework. Favorites - he takes time to explain what's happening and how to correct the issue. Super knowledgeable. read more

Dr. Kuang is the best chiropractor in town. This place deserve more than 5 stars but yelp limit me to only give it 5 stars :( I tried everything to fixed my lower back and my shoulder, I tried acupuncture, massage, cupping etc, nothing fixed my back till I found this gem! Dr. Kuang takes his time to understand your injuries, he has this cool 3d anatomy where he would show you which part that need to be fix and how it'd get fix, he will do the work and all you need to do is do your homework (the stretches he would tell you to do etc). Trust the process! I originally had to see him twice a week then when it get better, I go there every 2 weeks, and now I only need to see him one a month. If there is an emergency (if you're crazy like me where you could get injury from crossfit, boxing or taekwondo) he will try your best to see you to fix your injuries. Not to mention, his employee of the month, Kilo, is the cutest employee there! Please give her some love, belly rubs and lots of treat on behalf of me read more

I have seen different chiropractors for the past ten years, and I can confidently say that Dr. Simon is one of the best choices. He is knowledgeable in the field and explains the process to newcomers. He listens to his patient's concerns and addresses them at the root cause, always going above and beyond. In addition, Dr. Simon is a very passionate, full-hearted individual who cares for his patients. I came in for upper back issues that caused tingling sensations in my fingers if I hunched over too much. In addition, neck issues from sitting too long at a desk. Dr. Simon uses Active Release Technique (ART) in tangent with the standard practice of adjustment to bones. A regular adjustment from Dr. Simon is usually 15 mins long, with 10 mins dedicated to ART and 5 mins being adjusted. From past experiences, ART helps stretch and relax muscles, making the adjustment process more effective and lasting, in my opinion. Dr. Simon is the first chiropractor to spend time performing ART while taking his time to address your concerns. While other chiropractic facilities want to adjust you quickly and move on to the next patient With so many chiropractors, choosing one can take a lot of work. Although I can genuinely say that for the price, the treatment, and customer service: Ideal body chiropractic is Ideal read more

So when I heard one of my old high school friends was opening up this spot with her fiancé I knew I had to check this place out! This place is very clean and professional. Unfortunately my visit was due to a car accident, but Doc ensured that he was gonna make me whole. He started with an assessment to see how bad my injuries were. He took his time during the assessment and explained everything in terms for us normal people to understand lol. Not only does he adjust you, but also does soft tissue work before he adjusts at every visit. I'm coming up on my 5th visit and I'm feeling better every time. They have some grand opening specials and also take most insurances. Looking for a solid chiro in the east bay? Look no further! read more

Dr. Kuang is incredibly detailed and patient. I went there with immense back pain. Instead of just cracking and popping like a lot of others, he spent time doing a series of diagnostic movements to identify the exact problem. Then he want on to do some muscle and joint manipulation before the popping finale. Highly recommend. read more

I was recommended by a friend to see Dr. Kuang for my back pain and a lot of tension around my neck and shoulders. I've seen other chiropractors before, but what I feel like is that they took many many visits for the treatment, which sometimes can be costly. I found Simon (Dr Kuang) is very genuine and honest! He gave the treatment to me and in the short period of time, I felt so much better! The fact that I forgot to come back because he helped my neck, shoulders tension and that ultimately prevent migraine for me. Besides being great at what he does, he's also such a friendly and pleasant person to be around. Being genuine & honest are key for me when it comes to medical related decisions. I appreciate how responsive his office is and how easy it is to book an appointment. Highly recommend! read more

Such a great experience! Dr. Kuang is super knowledgeable and friendly. I came in with no significant pain or injuries, but I enjoy working out regularly and have heard about the benefits of seeing a Chiropractor as a preventative injury tool. During my consult, I explained certain areas that tend to feel the most sore or tight during my workouts. Dr. Kuang wasted no time finding problem areas that I didn't even know I had! After the adjustment my hip, neck and back felt great. He was even nice enough to email me some stretches that will help during my next workout. The vibe of the entire space is super welcoming, warm, and clean. Definitely recommend stopping by for a visit! read more

I've been meaning to find a chiropractor and finally decided to book my first appointment with Ideal Body to support a new, local business. Parking was quick and easy as they have a lot right by the building with a few reserved spots. Walking in, I was greeted and checked in by Michelle (one of the owners). Dr. Kuang saw me afterwards, gave an easily digestible explanation of the issues and fixes to the spine, and then gave a quick run down of what to expect in our appointment. As for the treatment, Dr. Kuang pointed out the sore/stiff spots, stretched out those muscles, and then got to the cracking. Let me point out.. those were some of the best, deep stretches that I didn't know my neck and back could feel. The alignment portion was fun! Heard a snap, crackle, and pop. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and they can expect me to return for another treatment. There's something very special about being able to meet both owners, whom are both so kind and welcoming. read more

See all

The main thing I have been looking for is a DC who does Active Release Technique (ART). Dr Kuang is great at it. I just recently had a nasty cramp and neck misalignment resulting in massive headache, dizziness, back and neck pain. After the first treatment, I was already feeling better. Two more treatments I was back on my feet and ready to go. Dr Kuang is patient, listens to my needs, and takes the time to properly treat all my ailments. I can't recommend Dr Kuang enough. read more

As someone who sits at the desk pretty much all day, I was really prone to lower back pains. I have tried strengthening my core which seemed to help a little bit until a few months ago, I suddenly had sciatica that lasted about a week and the pain was excruciating. I looked up some light stretches that relieved the pain momentarily but it was highly recommended that I see a chiropractor. I've only see a chiropractor once before when I was pretty young and I did not have a good experience and never wanted to go back. The thought of being adjusted by a chiropractor was always really scary to me because of the back and neck cracking but I knew I did not want to experience sciatica again. I had heard great things about Dr. Kuang so I decided to push down my fear and give seeing a chiropractor another try. Dr. Kuang was ready for me right at my scheduled time and asked some questions about what I had filled out in my patient form. I was expecting to go straight into getting my back and neck adjusted and was starting to feel really nervous but Dr. Kuang started off with showing me what he thinks is happening that had caused my sciatia and lower back pains with a cool 3D anatomy screen. He then tested my mobility and helped me stretch - which I learned was an Active Release Technique. He was able to pinpoint the exact spots I had experienced a lot of pain. There was some tightness while he stretched me out but I felt soooo good right after. Then came the time for spine adjustment that I was dreading but it turned out to be not so bad! It felt like Dr. Kuang could feel when my body was relaxed and ready for that crack and he always checked right after to make sure I was okay and if I need a moment before proceeding. It felt amazing afterwards! Overall it was a great experience and I am so happy I gave seeing a chiropractor another try. Dr. Kuang is so nice and truly passionate about his job as a chiropractor. He provided a lot of information about my spine when I am sitting too long and also a few new stretches to do more often. I am now a believer of visiting a chiropractor on a regular basis and Dr. Kuang will be the one to see! Double bonus: Michelle and their furbaby Kilo are the biggest sweethearts and the most welcoming team at the front! :) read more

Oh man -- I haven't seen a chiropractor in over 10 years! I came in with a super stiff neck (didn't know about it since it wasn't hurting but probably from all the computer work) and sciatica. After a neck crack, immediately can feel the difference in range of motion with my neck. My sciatica is pregnancy-induced (yes he treats pregnant women too!) so he showed me some exercises on how to alleviate the pain at home and explained the anatomy behind it. He also has excellent pricing on his treatment packages. Excellent front desk service. Checking in and checking out was super friendly, quick and efficient. Def would recommend! read more

Highly recommend! Dr. Simon Kuang consistently delivers above and beyond service. His extensive skill and knowledge helped my mobility, shoulder issues, and athletic output. I've extremely benefited from his soft tissue work/ adjustment combo. The soft tissue mobility sets him apart from others and is an amazing part of his practice. His compassion for his patients and genuine kindness are far beyond from other providers. Treat yourself and check out Ideal Body Chiropractic Pleasanton you won't regret it! read more

Dr. Simon has the magic touch. Not only can he help to heal your aches and pains, but he can really help to heal your soul. He's not short on knowledge, passion, motivation, and support. His attitude about life is infectious. Whether it's my neck or ankle issues he gets me right for the long term by educating me on how to prevent further injury as well as motivating me to work on my imbalances and weaknesses. With his guidance and care, I achieved a 2x body weight deadlift in a little over a year after being hospitalized for 5 months and losing nearly all of my strength. And I'm still going strong thanks to him! With Dr. Simon, you don't just have a professional that cares about your health, you really feel like you have a friend that cares about your well-being. read more

I have taken multiple sessions of treatments with Dr Kuang. I have great things to say about my experience. I am so glad I found him based on Yelp reviews. One thing that stands out for me is his total passion for his profession and his earnestness to work with the patient. He is very professional in his approach but he also allows you to share your issues and your treatment goals. He is eager to work with you so you get what you want out of the sessions. His knowledge in the area and his comprehensive approach to wellness are noteworthy. He makes you feel welcome, gives you all the time. He is well informed about the patient's progress and works so hard on improving the pain situation. I have seen significant improvement after his sessions. The facility is large and well kept. I also like the regular communication and email/text updates. Thank you Dr Kuang. Your work ethics and your chiropractic skill both deserve a special mention. Plan to continue visiting this clinic in future. read more

I'll admit it, I've never been to a chiropractor before, so I was a bit nervous to get my first adjustment, especially since I have been having neck stiffness and soreness. Dr. Kuang put my mind at ease as soon as he greeted me. He's so kind and personable, and really went through my entire medical history with me to make sure he wasn't missing anything prior to the adjustment. He also advised me on my plantar fasciitis pain and recommended some exercises to work on as a preventative for more foot issues. The office is clean and inviting, front staff is friendly and professional, and Kilo the lab is a perfectly sweet ambassador for their brand. I wouldn't hesitate to return to Dr. Kuang in the future for other issues! read more

As a student with poor posture; I often times feel discomfort in my neck and back. Dr. Kuang knows specifically what area(s) needs to be adjusted and is phenomenal at doing so. I can tell that he is especially passionate about Chiropractics, in the way he educates during the adjustment processes. I look forward to visiting the office every week, knowing that I will leave exceedingly better than I walked in. It is extremely hard to find a good chiropractor, but I am grateful to have found Dr. Kuang! read more

Finally, the answer to all migraines! My years of periodic migraines and ongoing back pain (due to scoliosis) have literally stopped ever since I started routine visits here. Their service is commendable, and I can't imagine going anywhere else now. Highly recommended especially for first timers - you will feel warm welcomed and at home! read more

Can't say enough good things about Simon. Highly recommend that if you're in pain, or just looking for some bodily maintenance come visit Simon. Already a believer in chiropractic and massage therapy I cannot believe how talented Simon is and how much relief he was able to give me. I had a light case of Achilles tendinitis that lasted about a week. As soon as I started feeling more able my knee was killing me. I could not bend my leg. I was practically bed ridden. For a solid week I I suffered through intense pain, used crutches to get anywhere and needed help to do even do the most basic of tasks. It seemed like I had patella tendinitis so I did not bother visiting a Dr/hospital. After a week of intense pain I decided to visit Simon. I walked in on crutches and was barely able to move around. Simon listened to my problems and after further testing diagnosed me with a typical case of patella tendinitis. What a relief it wasn't anything more major. Simon employed his Active Release Therapy techniques and within that first session we were already seeing greater flexibility. He then had me walk around the table unassisted. I couldn't believe his words but I was really walking! The increase in flexibility gave me instant relief. I was walking again, my freedom restored. He was ableto further diagnose that when I had Achilles tendinitis it modified the way I walk which placed more load in my thigh muscles, causing the patella tendinitis. I have continued going to Simon to continue working on my leg as we are always seeing great resorts . read more

I have nothing but good things to say about Ideal Body. I came in barely walking. I was in pain every single day with sleepless nights. It took a toll on my daily life. After coming to Dr. Simon Kuang, I could finally walk normal without barely any pain. I felt like I had my life back. He always provides great customer service, and I always look forward to coming back every week. If you're reading this right now, you're probably looking for a great doctor. Let me make it easy for you, he is the one! You won't regret it! I've been to so many chiropractor doctors in my day, and he is by far the best one. He is a family man, and he really cares for our wellbeing and health. Stop wasting time and sign up today!!! -BOTTOMLINE read more

I would rate 10 if I could! I came in for an evaluation not expecting that anything was wrong just thinking I would get adjusted. Little did I know, Dr. Kuang would solve a problem I thought was unrelated. I was struggling with daily headaches that were extremely painful, I had no idea that it was stemming from tightness in my neck that has since been released. No more headaches! I tell everyone I know to come here! That's how much my life was changed! On top of that, Michelle and Dr Kuang are some of the warmest and kindest people! They make you feel welcome the second you walk in! read more

One of the best chiropractor place I've been to Dr. Kuang is very informative and very friendly He make feel at home and I enjoy my time on every visit. read more

**MIND BLOWN!** To be honest, I was a skeptic. I didn't think I had anything wrong me. I was totally wrong about that. Sure my upper back gets tight...must be bc I work out I told myself. I crack my lower back sometimes when I feel stiff... I'm old I figured. Dr. Kuang was able to quickly diagnose issues I didn't realize I had. He discovered that I couldn't turn my head to the right as far as I could to the left. After some other checks he goes something like "this is impinging on this, and this and that can cause headaches..." I said, "Whaaa...I get headaches almost every morning. I thought I just needed caffeine." My neck is busted. He showed me where I was having issues from my neck to my lower spine and not only made the adjustments with precision and proper intentional force, but offered solutions to what could be causing my problems. I left the office with a new energy. I felt taller (probably not, but def more awake!) and lighter. You have got to give Ideal Body Chiropractic a shot. You owe it to yourself and you will come out feeling amazing. read more

This was my first chiropractic visit ever and to be honest I wasn't sure what to expect. Dr. Kuang was amazing! He was super friendly and easy going. The attentiveness and treatment of my problem areas really opened my eyes to what I've been missing out on my whole life! Having a provider who is also into fitness brings another layer of understanding and relatability. Big thank you to everyone at Ideal Body Chiropractic for an amazing first time experience read more

Dr. Simon is absolutely amazing. I wish I could give 10+ stars! I had major sciatic nerve issues (along with the aches and pains from sitting at a desk all day) that caused the worst shooting pain in my lower back and down my leg. I was hesitant about getting chiropractic treatment again after a few bad experiences with other chiropractors.. Dr. Simon was able to set me up with a treatment plan to alleviate the symptoms I was experiencing and to keep the pain away long term! After just a few appointments, the shooting pain and tingling in my leg was gone! I also really appreciated that he wasn't just there to help fix my back issues. He is constantly checking in to see how your body is feeling that day and if any new issues have popped up. Neck, shoulders, upper back pain, wrist pain, you name it and he will do everything he can to help! Dr. Simon isn't just a great chiropractor, he's also a fantastic educator. He takes the time to educate his patients about the symptoms they are experiencing, getting to the root problem, and teaches you little things you can do to make sure you're getting the most out of your treatments both in and out of the office. With his help, I was able to learn different stretches and exercises to manage and keep the pain away! Dr. Simon is incredibly passionate about his work and patients. You can really tell that he is invested in your progress and treatment journey, and genuinely wants to get you back on your feet and pain free. He has the best attitude and his positivity is infectious. He's incredibly kind and caring, and always goes above and beyond to make sure that you feel comfortable in his care. And if that's not enough to convince you to go to Dr. Simon, please remember that he has the best assistant in the industry.. KILO! 10 out of 10, would recommend to a friend, family member, random stranger on the street. I can't thank Dr. Simon enough for all that he has done for me! read more

I didn't get anything done, but my husband did and Dr.Simon did an amazing job! He was very knowledgeable and was able to identify some kinks my husband didn't realize he had. I will definitely be scheduling my own appointment ASAP! The office was very clean and a wide open space. The decor was very welcoming and warm. The office assistant Michelle, was also very sweet! She made sure we checked in and out with no problems. Definitely looking forward to coming back! read more

Dr. Simon is by far the best chiropractor I've ever seen. I have multiple issues with my back and now my hips. He's figured out the problem and fixes them instantly. He's very knowledgeable, explains things so that I can understand and has figured out every problem I've had and addressed it to where my pain is gone when I leave. I told my husband to see him and he's now a loyal patient too, he has had a very good eye for what was causing my husbands pain, things most doctors wouldn't really even think about. And nothing beats getting greeted by your first name when you come in it's truly a good feeling to feel more than just a number to someone who's treating you. I could go on about how amazing this office is. A very personal experience and over the top care! read more

Dr. Kuang and Michelle are the best! We went in to see them due to my lower back tightness and overall flexibility. They were very welcoming and really take genuine care throughout the appointment. So far I've been seeing improvements on my tightness and mobility. Would highly recommend and checking this place out! Bonus: If you get lucky you get greeted by a Chocolate Labrador named Kilo read more

Dr. Simon is THE BEST. He cares about his patients and it shows through his practice. Michelle works the front. She's friendly and has sick ass tats. I always have a good time. Thanks for helping me with my back pain. read more

What an experience!!! Dr. Simon does well with identifying the source of your pain and treating them. I came in for a mild pain on my lower back not knowing my neck was the issue. My partner and I were so impressed that we signed up for a family plan.Thank you Dr. Simon and Michelle! read more

Dr. Kuang and Michelle are stellar to work with! After years of working from home and developing terrible migraines from incorrect posture, I was in the market for a trustworthy and knowledgeable chiropractor. I had adjustments in the past, but they were with chiropractors using prehistoric methods and drop tables. For myself, I didn't find this effective on my body, as I always felt myself tense up in anticipation for the "drop". During my initial visit, I was greeted by his beautiful and bubbly wife (fiancée at the time) Michelle, and their lovable chocolate lab, Kiloshi! Michelle was pleasant to speak with and led me to one of the rooms that contained a nice and clean set up of a desk, padded chiropractor table, and anatomical spine & femur model. The consultation with Dr. Kuang was informative, efficient, and easy to follow along. He used the anatomical spine & femur model to explain why I was feeling the pain I had. He wasn't condescending and admonishing, and listened to all my pain points with empathy. Dr. Kuang applies Active Release Technique (A.R.T.), massaging the muscles that helps him determine what needs to be adjusted. This allows for the adjustments to be more thorough, effective, and less painful for the patient. Based on the severity of the patient's pain points, Dr. Kuang typically suggest 2-3 visits per week. I fully believe that going 2 times a week has improved my health and well-being. The chronic migraines have essentially disappeared. Now Dr. Kuang and I can start targeting other pain points within my body that were overlooked because I had all my focus on said migraines. A typical appointment can run 15-20 minutes, depending on what needs to be adjusted and what streaming shows or life updates you have to share! Overall, Ideal Body is a fabulous addition to Pleasanton. Dr. Kuang and Michelle (and little Miss Toni & Kiloshi!) are warm, welcoming, and highly skilled at what they do! read more

WOW---10 stars if I could! I suffered a back injury from years before and recently had an injury which I thought was a herniated disc (it felt like it), but after seeing Dr. Kuang and doing preliminary tests he assured me it wasn't! What a relief. Turns out it was muscle tightness and nerve compression. I love how he explained everything to me so that I understood completely what I experienced. He made me feel really comfortable throughout the whole process. He even visually showed me on his digital program, the exact muscle that was impacted causing me the discomfort which I thought was super cool. Then the adjustments---DAMN it felt good!!! I felt a lot lighter, flexible, and limber. I've been neglecting prioritizing my spinal health but because of Dr. Kuang I will make it a priority! I will be on an 8-week program to make sure my spine will be in tip-top shape. I am looking forward to my next visit--highly recommend his practice! read more

I've been Dr Kuang's client for 8yrs since he opened his practice in Fullerton, CA. Ideal Body Pleasanton is the best chiropractic office I've ever been to! The staff are so friendly and responsive. And Dr. Kuang has helped improve my quality of life by getting rid of the back pain I was suffering from for years. Also, the wellness packages make getting care regularly so affordable. I look forward to every visit when I am up North. read more

My back has been hurting for awhile, found this place on yelp and decided to give it a try. He went through a few questions about what was bothering me and had me fill out a questionnaire. I have been coming here twice a week for a month and it had been really helping. He worked around the muscle that's been tightening and a few adjustments. Friendly staff and have been really helpful. I feel really better after the adjustments. read more

Dr. Simon Kuang gives excellent care that effectively treated my chronic mid-back pain! He's always a pleasure to deal with, super friendly, professional, and responsive.

I came into the office for a whiplash issue I had been dealing with for months. Dr. Kuang took a full assessment of my situation and walked me through the causes and treatments for ailments I didn't even know I had. After a few adjustments I felt great! Dr. Kuang is very knowledgeable and truly cares about his patients, highly recommended. read more

I have heard about the Midas Touch. But my chronic shoulder and back pain were crying for one till I met Simon. In two sessions or sittings, I felt one. Simon is cheerful, positive and has that prowess to make pain go away. I am not kidding or trying to be nice but it is heartfelt and genuine. If you have experienced chronic pain that restricts every sudden move you make, you will surely understand my experience. I have walked in with hope and now walking away with a spring in my steps. Thanks Simon. read more

After dealing with back pain for the last 13 years my wife finally convinced me to try a chiropractor, after being very skeptical about chiropractors due to my father having severe pain and not being able to walk for 5 days after 1 visit. My first visit to ideal body chiropractic I was very very nervous. Simon approached me very friendly and made it very comfortable for me. He listened to all of my concerns and was very honest with me. During my first visit and adjustment I was completely astonished that I was able to stand right up from the bench or chair with out any pain or assistance. Since I have been seeing Simon at ideal body chiropractic the excruciating pain I have dealt with the last 13 years is barely even present anymore. I would highly recommend ideal body chiropractic to anyone that is questionable about chiropractics. It has worked tremendously for me and it will for you. read more
