5/5 I came in with pretty intense pain in my left hip that felt like it might be my sciatic nerve, plus low back pain near my pelvis, general back discomfort, and existing scoliosis. Dr. Derek spent a full two hours with me--actually going through each issue, testing, treating, and explaining what he was doing the whole time. He used a mix of techniques on both my muscles and joints, and what really stood out was how comfortable he made me feel. He talked to me like a real person, gave me the medical terms, and then broke them down using everyday examples so everything actually made sense. I walked in feeling tight, compressed, and honestly a little worried about how bad the pain was. I walked out feeling noticeably looser, more aligned, and incredibly relaxed. He truly has a magic touch. Highly recommend! read more

Dr. Ko is absolutely phenomenal! I'm not exaggerating when I say my first appointment with him was life-changing: For over a decade, I've had severe issues with my right knee and had seen many physicians about the discomfort to no avail. My knee hindered my mobility and prevented me from doing squats, jumps, and other exercises. After relating the pain to Dr. Ko, he discovered my pain stemmed from my ankle, which did not align properly after a sprain. After aligning it, he asked me to stand and I immediately felt the difference. Since then, I've have no issues with pain and can finally do squats and jumps again! (He also alleviated the pain in my neck and back in that same session.) In addition to him being an outstanding chiropractor, Dr. Ko is also very personable and considerate. He explained everything he was going to do beforehand, which made me feel very comfortable and relaxed since I knew what to expect (a very important thing, especially since it was my first time seeing a chiropractor). I just had my second appointment with him, and it was, of course, an amazing experience. I will continue visiting Dr. Ko and would highly recommend seeing him for chiropractic care! read more

Patience , professional, caring, This is Dr. Ko You can't find any other Doctor better than him:) , read more

Dr. Derek Ko is amazing! He and Dr. Slaughter made me feel very comfortable. I was very nervous about seeing a chiropractor in the beginning. I slipped a disc in my back 5 years ago and have been living with the discomfort since. Recently the discomfort turned to pain so bad that some days I couldn't get out of bed. In only a couple visits I was up and functioning again with little to no pain. Dr. Ko has gotten to the root causes of my pain and helped guide me through recovery. I highly recommend coming for a consultation if you have any need or curiosity. read more

Derek is super professional and extremely knowledgeable. I came in with a pinched nerve in my neck and back. I had been seeing another Chiropractor for a couple years a few years earlier. Derek identified the issue (misdiagnosed by others). He used X-rays to discover and prove the root cause. Derek was able to fix issues the others couldn't. I am very happy in his care and you should be too. read more

Dr. Ko is amazing and possesses a true gift for healing! He is outstanding, both as a professional and as a person. After living with chronic foot pain for years, I walked out from my first visit feeling like I had just received a foot transplant with someone else's pain-free feet. I'd previously seen other chiropractors and podiatrists too, with surgery or "that's life with flat feet" as the response to my acquisition for healing. I used to think chiropractors only adjusted backs--how wrong I was! I think I have now been back at least five times, and have sent my family members also, who have been equally impressed. Dr. Ko is my new BFF and can be considered our family chiropractor and body movement specialist! :) read more

Dr. Ko is amazing! His ability to find the problem and fix it made me feel like a million dollars again! He is sooo much better than any drug, injection, or physical therapy! His personality is awesome and he is very compassionate. He uses the latest equipment and methods that work. He is honest and fair and a wonderful human being. He is the best!! read more

Dr. Ko is a very skilled chiropractor. This is coming from someone who has worked in a chiropractic office and has been adjusted by chiros across the america. He specializes in sports care, so the chiropractic care administered is more thorough than the average chiropractic session. As a lifetime athlete, it's very important to me that I can confidently perform without worrying about injury. There is a difference, and I have confidence in Dr. Ko's care. read more

Dr. Ko is a phenomenal Chiropractor. I sought out many treatments for my headaches outside of his services with no resolve but after one visit with Dr. Ko he dimished my symptoms by 80%! I received a few more treatments following the initial appointment and have now been headache free for 2years. read more

Dr. Ko is your doc when it comes to relieving you of pain from sports injuries. His extra education in sports performance and injuries give him the edge when it comes to understanding what caused the injury and how to treat it. I've gone to Derek for rib issues, knee pain, and back pain. Each time, he is professional, efficient, and effective. read more

Dr. Ko is outsanding. As a pitcher, my arm constantly feels aches and pains, but after my first visit to Dr. Kho my arm felt really good and my velocity came back up prior to my injury. He knows a lot about the human body and athletes and can definitely help out anyone. read more

Derek is amazing as always. He works the Saturday games for semi-pro football and my boyfriend dislocated his shoulder about a week ago and he knew exactly what my boyfriend did. He tried his best to put my boyfriend's arm back in place, however my boyfriend was in so much pain that Derek recommended the next best thing which was O'Conner Hospital. The staff there were just as sweet and caring as Derek. Thanks Derek we love ya!!! read more

I found out about ChiroBalance when Planet Granite Sunnyvale had an event. I had my consultation at ChiroBalance with Dr. Ko. Very professional as well as casual. Dr. Ko presented me with packages that their office offers; I signed up for a 6-week package. I had hip flexor and lower back pain, so each week coming into the office, Dr. Ko helped me not only with adjustments but he also gave me exercises to warm-up/cool down with going into my workouts; these are warm up and cool downs I'll use forever. Dr. Slaughter also adjusted and gave me exercises one week as well. The pains (before being treated by Dr. Ko & Dr. Slaughter) I had were associated with my powerlifting so I was hoping to go to someone who has or who currently is powerlifting as well; it was very comforting to know Dr. Ko is/was/has knowledge in powerlifting. read more

Dr. Ko is the "go-to" chiropractor !! When I injured my right wrist, he adjusted not only my wrist, but also my elbow, shoulder and neck. Dr. Ko used Gavilan instruments and Rock Tape to help me with scar tissues in my wrist. After a couple of treatments, the pain was gone! My job requires physical work, so it's very important for my body to be up and running. Dr. Ko had treated my headache, radiculopathy on my hands and low back pain. Each time, I was symptom free before I left his office. Thank you! read more

Dr Ko did absolute wonders when i injured a muscle in my leg! I walked in super tight with a slight limp and came out his office with some great relief in pain and i had better mobility and was back at my crossfit class 4 hours later! I highly recommend his work its 2nd to none!!! Thank you Dr Ko i cant wait to see you again for our next appointment! Benny read more

I have been seeing Dr.Ko for about 4 months now. He has been trouble shooting my repetitive use injury/pain diligently! I can't say enough great things about he and Ryan! Great guys and such a comfortable and easy feeling in the office! Terrific adjustments....I look forward to my appointments as I always feel great leaving their practice! read more

Dr. Ko is excellent at his work! His knowledge, expertise and attention to detail has helped me alleviate sciatic nerve pain in the lower back region within a matter of days. After six long months of failed treatments from PTs and acupuncture specialists, he was able to deliver results for me. I have always appreciated the amount of time he spends to get things done right. I am going to continue my treatments for long term wellness and pain relief. I highly recommend visiting him because he will help you achieve your goals. read more

Doctor Derek was awesome! I've had several injuries over the years, most of which doctors threw medication at...and ultimately nothing was ever "fixed". Dr. Derek didn't put my case in a "category", he rather personalized his treatment custom to my needs and conditions, and made sure I was comfortable and knew what he was doing. Every time I've gone he's implemented new techniques and new assessments, making sure the treatments are never repetitive, but instead effective. Dr. Derek has been a life saver and true innovative doctor! Strongly recommend him!! Thanks for the great treatments Doc! read more

Dr Ryan Slaughter has great talent as a Chiropractor. He has helped me and my husband with his adjustments. His technique of adjustments is so comfortable, working the muscles as well as aligning the spine. I feel great after one of his treatments. He made a huge difference in my husbands recovery when he had pinched a nerve in his lower back and could barley move. We can't thank him enough. I highly recommend Dr Ryan Slaughter for all your Chiropractic needs. read more

Dr. Ko is nothing short of wonderful. He is patient in hearing my concerns and gentle for each part of the adjustment. I was nervous because I have never been to a chiropractor before. Not anymore! I look forward to my visits with Dr. Ko and I always come out feeling better and relaxed. I also like how Dr. Ko educates me on strategies to prevent future injuries. Highly recommended! read more

I went today for my first visit with Dr. Derek, it was a great experience. He helped me a lot with all my pain issues. I came out with a big smile and no more pain , thanks a lot Dr.Derek! read more

Dr. Ko is seriously the best chiropractor I've been to in years. When I first came, I had a problem with my knees and now it's no longer an issue after only a few visits. I seriously recommend him to anyone who needs chiropractic care. read more

Dr. Ko is fantastic. I've had disk surgery, I've had the shots, but I find Dr Ko's method the best. I was tired of just patching over the problem with medical procedures. He actually gets to the root of the issue and works on rebuilding things from the inside. The other methods I tried were effective for a short time but the relief eventually faded. Dr Ko thoroughly reviewed my MRI and explained everything in detail, easing my concerns (more so than any Dr I've seen thus far). I can't say enough about how pleased I am with his approach and attention to my issue. -M.Eldridge read more

Great place to go to get a proper adjustment. Derek really cares about figuring out what's wrong and helping to fix it. He is knowledgeable, patient, he listens, and always goes the extra mile to make sure you are happy with the session. 10/10 will definitely continue to use Chiro-Balance for my adjustment needs! read more
