The Best Chrio on the planet. Un believable just an incredible knowledge and can look at you and pop Out the door as a new man.

Amazing, amazing, amazing. I came to Dr C in intense pain, after a month of my regular doctor not being able to diagnose me and refusing to give me anything for the pain. Along comes Dr C. I admit I only chose him based on location, but I am so glad I did. I was warmly greeted by Robyn, and when I saw Dr C he diagnosed a trapped nerve within seconds. 15 minutes in traction, then Dr C clicking my neck and stretching me made me feel like a new woman. The pain receded for the first time in a month. He recommend some steroids for my doctor to prescribe, and off I went. It's now been two weeks since my first visit, and I'm now about 80% better. I'm off the steroids, have traction twice next week and I'm beyond relieved I found him. I just wish I had gone sooner. Long story short - VISIT THIS MAN, you won't regret it!!! read more

OK, after I put my back out carrying three generations of a family from a burning building (well, slipping in the bath but that doesn't sound good) I called up the insurance people and they put me in touch with this place. I was highly suspicious, chiropractors aren't proper doctors I'd been told and anyone who spins me bullshit about owning the emotion of my pain etc gets short shrift. However, any port in a storm. Immediate gold star for speed of response. I was in considerable pain and the office got me an emergency appointment in less than an hour - now that's good service. Dr C (everyone, even his wife, calls him that) was very helpful and did a course of electrical stimulation and heat therapy coupled with some powerful back crunches. After the first visit I felt some relief immediately but still couldn't bend over or carry bags. However, three treatments in, my back is now pretty much sorted. Quite frankly I'm amazed - I'd almost forgotten what it was like to walk without pain. I've heard some chiros like to keep you coming for a seemingly endless series of consultations but Dr C seemed to take repeat visits as a personal failure of his ability to cure, which was a very reassuring attitude. The office is small, without being pokey, and very friendly. After the first visit both Dr C and his wife (who runs the office) were on first name terms and remembered all the details about my case. As a first experience of American healthcare I am very favourably impressed. read more

I was having one-second hits of light headed several times a day for nearly a month. After getting good results from a blood test, checking blood pressure multiple times a day that was normal, getting a heart ultrasound and EKG that did not indicate any issues, it occurred to me that the light-headed sensation might be a stress-related muscular issue. I'm not one to run to a doctor of any sort, but after nothing else was getting results, I called Dr. C's office. Robin, his every efficient and friendly office manager (and wife), listened to my story, then put me on the phone with Dr. C. He did not know if his chiropractic services would work, but we decided it was worth giving it a try. Dr. C. took me immediately -- and I mean, I drove over there as soon as I hung up. One treatment of heat, electrical stimulation and a few adjustments lying down, then sitting up had me pleasantly snap-crackle-popping. We agreed that 3 or 4 tries would be enough to know if this is working. The adjustment seemed to also relieve my sore computer-hand/arm/thumb. I've been four times now, and although there is still occasional light headedness, for the most part, I have not had the big hits for days at a time now. I don't have any comparative experiences so I don't know how unique Dr. C is, but I must say that I've certainly changed my tune about the value of a chiropractic visit. I've seen everyone from children to seniors in the office, all seemingly happy to be in his hands. 'Dr. C' is clearly experienced, trusted and, at least in my book, deserves five stars. Check 'em out... read more

To be fair, he wasn't any worse than any other quack, I mean chiropractor, I've been to. On the other hand, it was the first time I left a chiropractor's office in more pain than when I entered it. (Why do M.D.'s in California recommend chiropractors? Doctors in Africa don't send people to witch doctors anymore, do they?) Also, I went to two visits before I was told that my insurance wasn't going to cover his services, and now I'm stuck paying full payment for services that did no good and in fact caused me to feel much worse. Yuck. Never again. read more

I'm a busy hair stylist. 9+ hours/day 5/days a week standing on hard floors, arms up, awkward body positions and lots of blowdrying can really cause some damage. I'm constantly managing some amount of neck shoulder or lower back tension. 20 minutes with Leonard Cionciolo is like a reset button. It takes away pain and releases tension. Sometime even getting rid of headaches. No matter whether it's been a week, a few months or over a year both robyn and Dr. Cionciolo always greet me with a smile and give me the best care. read more

I had neck and back issues since my teenage years. The first time i went to a chiropractor 10 years ago I run out of the office; I was so uncomfortable letting that doctor work on my neck. I refused to go back to any chiropractor for years until one day I woke up and I couldn't move my head. I looked up Yelp reviews and went to see Dr. C. He's been adjusting my spine and neck since and he's always made the pain significantly decrease with just a couple of adjustments. Doctor Cianciolo is the doctor who wants to help you feel better. He has years of practice and that shines through. He always knows what is the root cause of the pain you're having and he focuses on removing it. If he can't help you he will tell you that and he will recommend alternatives. For example, when my sister had a really bad case of sciatica a few years back, in addition to his treatments, Dr. C. recommended specific stretching exercises to do at home. Those exercises saved her life, and made huge difference in dealing with the pain. I am grateful for all the times Doctor Cianciolo has helped us. I have so much respect for him and Robin (who runs the office and is the most amazing lady you will ever meet)! If you need a chiropractor, this is the place to go. I cannot recommend it enough. read more

When I started going to Dr.C I had a messed up back. Started going on a regular basis and now back feels a lot better. I try to go monthly to get a routine adjustment but overall definitely recommend! read more

I'll keep this short--Dr. C is awesome. He's got a great attitude and really thinks about what's an appropriate treatment based on your symptoms. read more

Leonard Cianciolo, DC - Chiropractors Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've been to Dr C twice for accident related treatments in the last several years. He has taken good care of me and I wouldn't think of going anywhere else in the future. His receptionist Robin always greets me with a big smile which always brightened up my day. Thanks to Dr. C im pain free :) read more

Outstanding service, extremely proficient, very nice, helpful with all medical information related too my car accident, and in my opinion the best chiro/doctor in town!!! read more

Dr. "C" is a ROCKSTAR! most chiropractors are scam-ee wanting to see you 3x a week for a couple of months... but NOT Dr. Cianciolo!! he wants to fix you and not see you again. i have gone in to see him in such pain that even breathing was difficult. one or two visits and im back to 100%! i swear he is a miracle worker. i recommend him to anyone who is looking for a fix and not a long term relationship with some wacko chiro- read more

After a couple of very helpful treatments the weekend arrived and I headed for the golf course. Although I have been playing golf for over 50 years I had never had a hole in one. On the 11th hole, 153 yards, I took out my eight iron and hit what looked like a good shot. When my playing partners and I got to the green, (the sun was in our eyes as we teed off), there were 3 white balls on the green. In that I was playing a yellow Callaway Crome Soft I was certain my ball had ended up in the bunker behind the pin. However, it was not in the bunker. Then one of my friends noticed a pitch mark about 2 feet in front of the hole and decided to look in the cup, There at the bottom of the cup was my yellow ball. Therefore after over 7,000 attempts, I finally had my first hole in one. All credit should go to Dr. Cianciolo as the hip pain that had been there was relieved. That day I also shot my age. And no I am not 102! Thanks Dr. Cianciolo! I will refer all my friends who would like to join the hole in one club to set up an appointment with you! read more

This guy is the best. My first visit ever to a chiropractor and it was a A+++ deal. Thanks Lenny .

Dr. C is great. His office is well run and he has years of experience. I have a bad back and had a really bad episode at the end of 2015. I was SCARED to go to a chiropractor but my friend raved about Dr. C so I went. Dr. C had me feeling better and increased my mobility much quicker than I expected. He is compassionate, friendly and funny. His office manager Robin helped me get the dreaded insurance issues solved and was very helpful and caring. read more

I've been going to see Dr. C for years. I am so appreciative of the bones and joint relief he gives me, especially now that I am pregnant. I should have came earlier, had I known that he treats pregnant women. read more

Leonard Cianciolo did the Graston technique on my fingers, which made a huge difference in my healing. He is a nice guy who really knows his stuff. It only took about 10 minus of work, which at first made me dubious.. but I did notice positive results in the days to come. The cost normally is $65, but if you have Kaiser, they give you a discount and charge you only $45. A good deal! read more

Dr. Cianciolo is a super, skilled, professional and excellent practiioner. I was suffering badly from arthritis in my knee to the extent I could barely walk. Dr. Cianciolo made room in his busy schedule to see me, and worked wonders. I know chiropractic cannot cure arthritis but it sure can help soothe the pain. His whole office is friendly and professional and very caring. If you have some muscle pain problems this is the place to go. If you feel out of joint, this is the place to get back in joint! thanks to all in the office and thanks for all the excellent restaurant recommendations too! read more

My back has kept me up at night for almost 2 years now and I had serious doubts that a chiropractor would be able to quickly change that. After just 3 visits to Dr. C, I already feel much better and haven't woken up from back pain once since my first visit. The Dr. and his office are very friendly and competent and are always willing to find a time spot in their schedule that works for you. I highly recommend a visit to this office if you have any kind of back ache, spasm or other problem. Dr. C will make you feel better in just 30 minutes just like he did to me. read more

I've been seeing Dr. C for over two years. As a former chiropractic skeptic, I can confidently say that ignorance is pain. I was referred to Dr. C by a friend who swore by the treatments. Suffering from chronic aches and pains all over, I forced myself to try it out an haven't looked back since. He is a master of his craft. Early this year, I was involved in a car accident that not only aggravated past injuries, but also caused severe back pain. I tried physical therapy and acupuncture. Neither worked as well as my visits with Dr. C. More than just the quality of work, Dr. C and his staff show genuine concern for your well-being. If I ever have a request and concern, Robin and her staff work closely with me to make sure that my needs are met. You really are in great hands with Dr. C. read more

Dr. Cianciolo is the best. I met him 24 years ago when I was pregnant and had sciatica so bad that I could not walk. He was fantastic and continues to be professional, warm and so honest. He has a wonderful way about him, very calming and a very soft touch. Dr. Cianciolo treats my entire family, even that baby I was carrying years ago who now is a young woman ahtlete enjoying the benefits of chiropractic. He has never asked me to come in more than I need to and believe me that is not the case with others. I hear horror stories from friends and just cannot understand why they do not take my advice and see Dr. Cianciolo. I have not tried nor plan to try another. PLEASE Dr. Cianciolo, stay in the Bay Area for all of your loyal patients!! read more

GREAT!!! TERRIFIC!!! FANTASTIC!!! This is how I want to start my very first review ever on yelp. (In fact, I created my yelp account JUST to give Dr. Cianciolo his review, after all these years of avoiding an account despite all the times I wanted to warn others of the horrible experiences of others by vowing to write a negative review, I just said nvm in the end.) This review is 6 months late...but here goes.... Dr. Cianciolo and his wife, Robyn, who works at the office, are AWESOME! I had to drop in when I had a really bad back spasm lifting my newborn. I couldn't stand up straight as I later found out that I had an acute back spasm, needed a cane to walk, couldn't hold my baby...yes, REALLY bad and needed help ASAP. Robyn got me in right away, and Dr. Cianciolo treated me and able to get me moving somewhat. I left with less pain right away, though not standing up yet. With an infant and being completely sleep deprived and exhausted as a new mom, trying to figure out how to get to the doc's office, they were both very understanding of my situation in getting me in, last minute drop ins, and accommodating me in every way possible to get me better. Even when Dr. Cianciolo was away for a session or 2, another doctor in the office treated me to keep up with my treatments. Over a course of few weeks, I got better and better, and I could truly see, feel, hear their genuine concern in my well being. Even after my series of treatments were over, they checked in on me to see how I was doing. I could only hope that ALL doctors and their offices were like this. God Bless Their Hearts! Thank goodness I found them. Hope I don't keep encountering back problems, but if I do, I know where I am going! read more

The other reviews are exactly spot on. Great attitude, very nice, wonderful and flexible office administrator. Very results-oriented, no airy fairy cosmic stuff. He gets right to the problem and wants to solve it. He really does want you in, fixed, and out. So far so good. I have seen chiropractors through the past twenty years on an off. I recommend it for specific cases. If you think chiropractic can help you, starting with Dr. C is a great way to go. read more

Dr. Cianciolo is great at helping his patients get rid of pain, he is very professional and also very nice.

Very helpful -- went in for pregnancy-related sciatic pain, after two visits - feel much better. I will be eternally grateful that his office fit me in straight from my OB appt. Was close to tears from pain. Dr. C. is fantastic! read more

With his help I was able to walk again after a severe muscle spasm in my back. They accommodated me on a day to that they usually don't take appointments. The care and attention made me feel at ease and was very nurturing at a time when I wanted to cry from pain. Thank you. read more

I echo the posts of other Dr. C. patients - the guy is fantastic. My MD - who is a patient of Dr. C. - sent me to this office. After living with chronic back pain for more years than I'd like to admit, I made a few (simple) visits and he straightened me right up. There is no trace of pain, I've got freedom of movement I'd forgotten was possible, and I'm now a believer. If you've got the heebie-jeebies about visiting a Chiro, get over it - and call this guy. read more

I LOVE Dr. Cianciolo!! I have been going to him twice a week for the last several months. I have cancer related lower back pain which requires an expert touch. He is a skilled practitioner and a delightful person. He runs a very efficient and professional office with a caring touch read more

Outstanding healing service and warm, genuine staff! Dr. C and Robin are as good as it gets! I would give 10 stars if possible...

Lenny is fantastic. Gentle. Effective. I've been seeing him for years and cannot recommend more highly.

Dr. Cianciolo is the best. I fell and hurt my back. After trying for a week or so to treat it myself I saw Dr. Cianciolo. I was in severe pain. He was referred to me by some dentists friends that he treats. His office front desk Robin is polite and appointed me asap as I was in pain. He accurately diagnosed the problem (muscle not skeletal) and started treatment. The first night I was pain free for several hours - what a relief. After a few more treatments - all back to normal. I asked if I should come back maybe once a week for some time and the good doctor told me that it was not necessary. He knows his field, does excellent therapy, and does not rip you off. He's one of the best if not the best in San Francisco. read more
