Dr. Leopold is awesome: kind, attuned, and dedicated. No one can fix everything, but he sure helped me relieve some pretty nasty back spasms today! His office staff are thoughtful and fair-minded, as well. read more

I started seeing Peter a year and half ago. He has all of the elements I desire: 1) 30 minute slots for adequate session time 2) blends soft tissue work with adjustments and postural analysis 3) deep breadth of skills and tools 4) great personality and cares deeply for his clients! As another bodyworker myself I need someone who can meet my needs to manage the hard physical demands I make of myself. I trust Peter implicitly. He is a high echelon care provider. read more

I've been seeing Dr Leopold on and off for over a year and I love my visits. He's treated me for injuries in my back, feet and shoulder. Each time he brings relief and new insight into how to care for myself. I love the wide range of knowledge and therapies he applies to healing. He isn't just a typical chiropractor. He will look at the way you naturally stand and move to assess natural or learned imbalances. He applies active release techniques, physical therapy exercises, laser, sports tape, nutrition in addition to the other things you might expect from a chiropractor. Lastly, I love spending time with him. Dr Leopold has a wide range of interests and he is simply a fascinating person to talk to. I can't recommend him more highly. read more

Dr. Leopold is a lifesaver! Unfortunately, I carry stress in my neck and shoulders. Some mornings I wake up and literally cannot turn my head or lift my arms. It's crazy. But with regular check-ins/adjustments with the good doctor Leopold, I'm functioning without pain. We are also working on some unfortunate bunion pain in one of my feet. I have seen a lot of chiropractors throughout my forty-odd years; Dr. Leopold has been the best, hands down! read more

Peter Leopoldo has a gift of figuring out what is happening with the body. A few times he has worked on an area I had not mentioned but needed attention; he saw the need from how I moved. read more

Peter is a very skilled chiropractor. He specializes in Active Release Technique and also does other useful techniques such as cupping and electrical stimulation (tens). He has an excellent depth of knowledge about human physiology and the nervous system. I originally started seeing him when I had a pinched nerve in my shoulder, and he was able to help get the pinched nerve to settle down. Since then, I've been seeing him regularly to help keep my neck and shoulders in decent shape. read more

I like to call Peter, "the wizard" because he truly does magic work! He has a deep understanding of the body and after a first great session I've since been going almost on a weekly basis for routine maintenance adjustments. I'm a personal trainer and Powerlifter and I refer all of my clients that need work to him! read more

I went to Dr Leopold in sever pain in my right shoulder and neck. After 2 treatments I was healed and will be a life long customer. He is magic. read more

Smart Man. Capable and inventive. Does the job knows the body appreciate's health bio-mechanics and practises what He preaches. Well worth the time. read more

Dr. Peter Leopold is THE BEST body-care provider I have ever worked with. And -- I don't mean to brag -- but I've been getting orthopedic care and physical therapy for over 20 years. At my first visit, Peter taught me all about a neuro-developmental model that he felt explained my symptoms. He is an excellent teacher. By the end of the meeting, for the first time in my medical/chronic pain journey, I had a clear, complete, and actionable understanding of my body problems. I knew what was going on and what to do about it. I cannot express how much relief this gave me - both from confusion and, over time, from pain and functional limitations. I think Peter may be an actual genius. Perhaps more importantly for quality of care, he is extremely warm, personable, kind, thoughtful. He knows how to stay connected and compassionate while working together on problems that are very mentally and physically demanding. Our conversations flow smoothly from serious work to laughter to philosophical asides and back to serious work, without missing a beat of efficiency. Peter gives super-helpful at-home exercises, tips, and other resources to look in to at home. I would very highly recommend Peter to anyone struggling with body-related problems. I would especially recommend Peter to someone who has struggled with multiple or inconclusive diagnoses, has started to despise the word "idiopathic", and/or is really trying to find "the answer". I was and I did. read more

I really value my sessions with Dr. Peter Leopold. He is an excellent chiropractor and so much more. Deeply kind with a wide range of knowledge, I feel that my issues are being addressed extremely well. I also walk away with ideas of what I can do on my own. I really appreciate that. My teenage son also values his sessions with Peter. read more

I've struggled with plantar fasciitis for a little over ten years. After one meeting, Peter linked my foot pain to a lack of internal rotation in my left hip. He extensively worked on breaking up the fascia in my feet and stretching my feet and hip. He then gave me several individualized foot and hip stretches. I had immediate relief following my visit and have little to no pain most days. Peter is amazing...extremely knowledgeable, generous with his time, caring, relatable, and kind. I can't recommend him enough. read more

I highly recommend Peter's work! In just one session, he repaired a vertigo issue that I thought was integral to my wiring. I came to find that my persistent motion sickness was treatable: since my session with Peter, I have been able to kayak, sit on a floating dock, and navigate curvy drives with total comfort and no nausea. All of these activities used to cause me great discomfort, and sometimes required a dose of Dramamine. To say this is a relief would be an understatement. Peter is skillful and builds treatments from a vast toolbox of knowledge, training, and experience. I have been to see him periodically for various tweaks and overall preventative maintenance, and each time, I leave feeling energetic and holistically cared for. Modern urban life is hard on the body, and I am grateful to be able to turn to Peter for help along the way! read more

i was recently rear ended for the FOURTH time while at a stop. Needless to say, i have all kinds of issues i needed help with. Dr.Leopold made a real difference in just one session, and i am continuing to work with him to get even better. He understands the entire body in a comprehensive way, far beyond just muscles and bones. i highly recommend him! read more

Dr.Leopold is phenomenal! Having a spinal fusion on my middle thoracic, Peter confidently adjust me with ease! I love always coming in and learning new ways to support my health! Thank you so much! read more

I've gone to see Peter for several years, recently with a painful, locked-up back. In one session he was able to provide me with relief. I've been immobilized twice with fractures, and each time Peter has helped my recovery by helping make sure the rest of my body didn't go out of whack. I highly recommend him. And I love the clinic's vibe and decor. read more

What do you do when you get rear ended and suffer from post concussion syndrome? GO SEE PETER. That's what you do. The doctors and neurologist all said "you just have to give it time and wait it out." To me this felt like giving in to the concussion. Peter on the other hand, offered supplement suggestions in addition to exercises for the brain. We did a whole series of neuro therapies which gave instant relief to my balance issues and nausea that accompanied it. Yes instant... these treatments once a week have been the only thing that gives me relief and hope that things will return to normal. I would not hesitate to recommend anyone suffering from a concussion to Peter. He is a true healer. read more

Peter has helped me with back and neck adjustments, exercises and treatments for carpal tunnel, as well as the occasional odd tension I need help understanding. Peter generally has a great energy. I always feel comfortable by the way he is both warm and professional. He really listens when I am describing my experience, and he wants to have a dialogue about what is working or not. Sessions with Peter have taught me to see connections between unexpectedly related aspects of my body and my capacity to use it wisely. Thank you Peter! read more

I've been to chiropractors & manual therapists for 15+ years, mainly for neck pain. In just 2 sessions Dr Leopold gave me more relief than I've had in years. I highly recommend him. read more

Peter is a terrific chiropractor, I always get pain relief and improved range of motion- and he is a very nice guy - I recommend him most highly! read more

Since my most recent visit to your clinic, I'm now about 95% fixed by using the "chambering" exercise you recommended. The gunk you mentioned making all of that noise in my shoulder has dissipated to the point that my other should is comparatively noisier. The numbness and tingling has only occurred a few brief times in the last week, and that only happens after falling into poor posture. From the handful of visits to your office, my bodily awareness has increased immensely and I'm sure that this will also help prevent future issues. Thank you again for fixing me and I will definitely be recommending you to everyone I know! read more

Words cannot express how grateful I am to Peter. I met him a few months ago at our mutual martial arts studio. I had just started training again in hopes of trying to repair some nerve damage to a large amount of my body. While the arts did a lot of repair, I still couldn't close one of my hands. Peter was taking a breather after receiving an uncalled for kick to the groin from me that I kept apologizing for profusely. He brushed it off telling me it was fine and noticed I was in pain. I explained my situation and his ears perked up. He asked if he could try somethings on my arm. We did the exercise. Fifteen minutes later. FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER..........I could close my hand again thanks to Peter. He didn't charge me, he didn't bait and switch, he just healed me. I owe him nothing but thanks. I am now working a secret method of depositing money in his account without his knowledge. I highly suggest Peter. I might fight you if you don't agree Peter is great. Maybe I won't fight you but I will kick you in the nuts. This guy is the truth. Spread the word. read more

With over twenty years of chiropractic treatment in different cities (I have moved a lot) I can say, Dr Leopold is the best! I have been a patient of Dr Leopold for two years now and he impresses me with new insight every time I see him. After two visits I not only received the best chiropractic treatment ever, but I was shown insights into my health I never knew before. Dr Leopold offers a holistic approach to your overall health you just don't get with any chiropractor. He will go the distance to figure out the WHY of your problems so you can get better and be your best self. read more

Peter is an excellent, holistic practicioner. First chiro to inspect everything about the way I move, walk, etc and then use that to really hone in on my exact problems, not just giving me some adjustments and sending me on my way. Looking forward to working with him for years to come! read more

This is the ABSOLUTE BEST investment on my body I've ever made. Peter is an amazing healer and I'm so glad I found him. I'm a competitive athlete and I put my body through stress and trauma regularly. 6 days a week, 3 hours a day, with 20-30 miles running. As I'm getting older, my body is not springing back as fast as it used to. More lactic acid build up and deep soreness seems to the norm and I just haven't been getting the most out of my body like I know I can. I was looking for a chiropractor/body work healer and after stumbling through a bunch of wrong ones who only knows how to work with injuries, I was recommendation Peter by a fellow athlete. MANUAL THERAPY was what I was looking for and Peter's Active Release Therapy was exactly what I needed!!! This removes my need for massages and less time foam rolling. He is also fluent in diverse breadths of healing techniques that I've yet to discover! Soon though! He is a strong communicator, educates me every time I meet with him, and is extremely pleasant to work with. I work with customers and I know sometimes people don't know what they don't know, so asking the right questions to help get to the source of the issue is absolutely necessary. Peter is great at that without being at all intrusive. He reset my body thorough our first session and it was amazing!!!!! All the build up in my calves, legs, shoulders, and neck were broken up and I was immediately twice as fast during training a week later. I now see him every 2 weeks for maintenance and work through any issues I have. If you're an athlete looking to improve your game like me. Check out Peter and you won't be disappointed. read more

Peter has been my primary care doctor for the last couple years and has addressed every situation that I have brought to him. Being a very active person, I have come with many many serious injuries due to break dance, martial arts, and heavy weight training. Peter has addressed everything from shoulder, knee, back, neck, and even toe injuries! This guy is amazing! Peter really goes out and takes the time to talk to you and find out what is actually causing the issue. Incredibly knowledgeable guy and his wellness care plan after my initial injuries have been resolved is great! Highly recommend go check him out! read more

For 3 years I've struggled with a radiating nerve pain from my neck down my left arm. Many years ago I even had a cortisone injection that provided mild relief. With this latest flare up, I'd seen all my various body workers, PT, chiros etc with no significant improvement and was starting sown the path towards another injection. I'm pretty active and was having trouble gripping bike handlebars and enjoying any golf with my avid golfing son was limited to just a couple of holes and more often or not him driving for me. Desperate I sought out new treatment and started seeing Peter in early summer. Right away I could tell his approach was multifaceted and not that of your typical chiropractor. Each time I saw him Peter worked different parts of the neck/shoulder/back muscle and nerve chain using a variety of techniques. Within a couple of sessions I had immense relief! Two weeks ago I even played 9 holes of golf, something I thought I'd never do again. Peter is my Go To now for all nerve/muscle pain. Thank you so much Peter. read more

Peter is intuitive and committed to healing massage. He has been a trusted co-worker of mine for years and he is also a wonderful masseuse. Tui Na is a very involved and energetic massage style. It is by far my favorite! Book Peter for a relaxing and healing experience. read more

I can't recommend Dr. Leopold's work enough--not just for his skill (of which he has plenty), but particularly for the time, care, and effort he puts into his services. I initially came in to have Peter work on some minor mid and lower back issues and haven't had any problems with it since; not only was he able to provide immediate relief, he also helped me work on the daily postural habits that got everything out of whack in the first place. More recently, however, he started helping me with a wrist injury I received while hiking (did not expect this!), and the difference has been like night and day each time I walk out of the office. My healing process has sped up tremendously--I might be ready to get back into climbing very, very soon! Dr. Leopold is a man who genuinely cares about his patients' well-being and healing; through both a fine attention to detail and a thorough knowledge of the human body, he is not only able to pinpoint and adjust (with very clean, smooth, painless adjustments) the source of pain, but provides very practical steps to help you sustain the improvements (changing postural habits, identifying daily movements that have been causing misalignment). He gives you all the time, attention, and skill needed for an amazing service. Come in for treatment and you'll see what I mean. read more

I am very grateful to peter and was most impressed with his caring and generous bedside manner . He was able to diagnose an issue that had eluded several other practitioners. He was able to name the problem and offer solutions which eventually help it resolve . I would highly Recommend his services .. read more

He is awesome. He found a hernia that my husband had suffered from for 30 years despite seeing several other chiropractors, physical therapists, etc. After surgery my husband is pain-free. read more

I have struggled for years, seeing many chiropractors, but never able to get a handle on my loosey-goosey muscle structure. Dr. Leopold is very effective in his treatments and they "hold" a long time. The big achievement with him is that he is willing to take time to understand and show me better ways to use my body. If you ask, he will suggest exercises. His knowledge of the body is up to date and extensive. He is a warm, caring and supportive doctor and a pleasure to know. read more

Dr Peter Leopold is the best in Oakland . My very first appointment with him he was able to figure out the underlying issue of my lower back pain. Many chiropractors will try to fix the pain but then it always comes back. My back issue was due to a weakened ankle and the way I walk. After our appointment I began doing some ankle strengthening exercises and started paying attention to how I walk and what a difference that made. I haven't experienced the lower back pain since then. I highly recommend Peter to anyone experiencing any kind of neck or back pain. He is also really great with elderly patients. read more

Peter is a soulful and talented bodyworker whose work goes far beyond the physical. I felt genuinely understood by him during the session, and felt myself to be able to completely relax. Highly recommended. read more

As a trained massage therapist myself, I am *extremely picky* about whom I go to for bodywork. Take it from me, Peter is an amazing healer! I trust him completely and he brings the centeredness of his spiritual practice (he also teaches meditation) into his sessions. He introduced me to Tui Na massage and I am hooked! He massaged me even up to 9 months pregnant and I always leave his sessions feeling rejuvenated and vibrant. My husband also goes to Peter for bodywork; we highly recommend him! read more

Massage with Peter is no ordinary experience. His depth and commitment as a person combine beautifully with his skill and sensitivity. As a result, his healing treatments remind the body of its innate capacity to heal. He is dedicated to a spiritual path in an intelligent, honest, and humorous way that makes him accessible. Because of Peter's unique qualities, a session with him makes you feel a whole lot better, and that's a priceless offering. read more
