Review for Shockwave therapy: Amazed at the results! Had frozen shoulder for almost a year with only slight improvement doing rehab, stretching etc. I wanted to avoid steroid injections, so Dr Jess suggested Shockwave, and after 6 treatments, I have almost full range of motion. A few more treatments and I should finally be back to normal. Highly recommend this treatment!!! read more

I've been coming here for over 17 years (since back surgery), but like once every other year now. I recently had a back injury and needed care on short notice. Luckily, Dr Pontious was available to take me in. The appointment felt rushed, but I was in immense pain and needed care in that moment. He had assumed that the diagnosis was cracked ribs, without getting X-rays too. About halfway through the appointment, he had his receptionist take over for him. He went into another appointment with another client. He was doing some sort of laser treatment on my back, and he just left. There was no explanation. I asked the receptionist what he was having her do on me, and she had no idea. I felt completely neglected. I hadn't come here for two years, and I probably won't be coming back for a long time. $75 just to get my neck adjusted and a misdiagnosis (later found out it wasn't cracked ribs). read more

I've been seeing Dr. Pontious once a week, and it's made a big difference in relieving the discomfort I often feel in my neck, shoulders, and lower back from long hours of desk work. His techniques are very effective, and he's always friendly and professional. As someone who spends most of the day sitting at a computer, these regular adjustments have become an essential part of staying healthy and pain-free. Rachel at the front desk is also wonderful--she always helps schedule my appointments smoothly and is a pleasure to talk to. Highly recommend! read more

Pontious chiropractic is a great place to get chiropractic treatment and it's conveniently located in Danville which is great for the neighborhood. The doctor is very skilled and know how to make the correct adjustments. From apt to check in to being seen it's overall a good experience. read more

Dr.Pontious is great! Always is able to get me in, help alleviate any discomfort I have, and goes above and beyond for his patients. Can't recommend enough! read more

The reason I decided to get chiropractic care is because I had chronic back pain and chronic headaches. The reason I go back to Pontious Chiropractic is that I feel better! Bottom line! I have suffered with headaches for years and my headaches are few and far between now and not as severe. I feel like I'm opening up and can breathe again! We are still working on my chronic back pain, but I am so hopeful! Jess Pontious treats each patient with care and true concern. And his only goal is the same as yours... to get your body better! I'm so glad I found his practice! read more

Been receiving great care for my old body from Jess for years! Jess left my appointment and feel great! Jess's receptionist and right hand makes the visit fun!! read more

This is not a bad chiropractic office but they no longer respond to my voicemails or texts requesting an appointment. Maybe they let go of the admin staff during COVID? It's odd because they text me with reminders to schedule. The doctor has a gentle touch and is caring. However, if you are a big guy like me and sometimes need the strong arm adjustment to snap it all back in place, this is not the right place. I miss my chiropractor dr. Ron Mitchell from Daly City, who adjusted athletes. He knew how to snap me back. read more

Dr. Jess has been our family chiropractor for years now. Our previous chiropractor never took x-rays of our spine. It was amazing to see our before and after x-rays, especially our daughter. Birth can be traumatic and Dr. Jess was able to "fix" her curvy spine. I had sciatica after the birth of my second child. I also suffer from migraines. I also used to wake daily with lower back aches. Regular adjustments fixed my sciatica, my lower back pain and my headaches are nearly gone (stress affects me so I know that one treatment can't cure all, but chiropractic is amazing!). My wrist has been hurting and he also adjusts me there! We go as a family regularly. If have an urgent need to be seen such as my daughter tweaking her back in PE at school, Dr. Jess fits us in. Dr. Jess is professional, kind, and we never feel rushed. We highly recommend Dr. Jess. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Jess since November. I've struggled with shoulder/neck pain for 17 years. I've tried EVERYTHING chiropractors, physical therapy, Cortizone shots, acupuncture, pain pills, THC cream, dozens of specialty pillows, every cream and pill over-the-counter imaginable and nothing truly helped. Then I found Dr. Jess and everything changed. I have never felt better. I've been surprised to see how many other ailments he's been able to help with sinus issues, allergies, and even chronic heartburn. I would suggest Dr. Jess to anyone. On thing to keep in mind is his process isn't over night. It takes months of consistent visits before you'll notice a permanent difference. It's absolutely worth the time and money to stick it out with Dr. Jess. read more

The staff is wonderful, always accommodating and helpful with my care. I've been seeing Dr. Pontious for 20 years now and I almost never have symptoms anymore. I highly recommend Dr. Jess if you have any issues with your back, neck or hips. read more

Thanks to the adjustments I had with Dr. Jess while I was pregnant, I was able to achieve my goal of a natural delivery. With weekly adjustments in pregnancy, Dr Jess aided in opening my pelvis and aligning my body. It really helped as my delivery was fast, and less pain. My body was totally ready! After having the baby, I have had dr. Jess adjust my newborn, myself and my 3 yr old. I am a postpartum doula and have worked with new mothers for years; as I shift my expertise into being a birth doula and childbirth educator, I know the topic of chiropractic care in pregnancy will come up. I have every intention of directing my future clients to Dr. Jess. He is truly a master of his craft and he does it so well. I even gave his info to my midwife. From back pain, to pregnancy, to infertility, to sports injury, to addressing allergies, I highly recommend chiro care for your body. Life is too short to be in pain or uncomfortable; so if you are in pain, quit complaining and just call Dr. Jess. You'll thank me later. I promise you. read more

Pontious Chiropractic - Dr Jess adjusting my 3 yr old daughter, Gabriella. - Chiropractors Near Me - Danville, California

I really appreciate how Dr. P takes the time to listen to my concerns about my back and my knees, and does adjustments with my concerns in mind. He is really personable, thorough in his work, and his office is very clean and professional as well. Thanks Dr. P! read more

I came here a few weeks ago due to an injury that caused a sharp pain on my neck and left shoulder. I called in last minuets requesting to schedule an appointment and they squeezed me in. They also take insurance so knowing that helps a lot. I've been to a few chiropractor before and I felt like it didn't do much for me, didn't help much. However, Dr. Jess knows what he is doing. He's a sport medicine too so that helps me because my injury came from working out. Something that most chiropractor doesn't do is X-Ray and you get it here if it is needed and he will go over it with you. He gives you pointer and as he adjust you, he will explain what is he doing and why. I like that and so far the pain is getting less. I have spoke about him to a few friends and coworkers. TOTALLY RECOMMEND HIM! read more

I have actually never been but called and made an appointment. Unfortunately I had to cancel but the Chropractor called me himself to reassure me I would be in great hands. I actually canceled due to a scheduling conflict so I am looking forward to rescheduling my appointment soon!! It made me feel great knowing he truly cares about his patients. read more

I've gone to many chiropractors and Dr. Jess is by far the best I've been too! I'm a hair stylist and started experiencing pain in my wrist so bad that i could cry, unsure of where to go a walked into Pontious chiropractic and asked. Turns out Dr. Jess also specializes in sport injuries. He adjusted my wrist and within two days it was as good as new! I go to Dr. Jess weekly and feel amazing everytime I go. I'm so thankful for his skills, I don't know how i would be able to work without him. I highly recommend Dr. Jess. read more

My body was twisted with one shoulder higher than the other and after finding Dr Jess Pontious on Yelp, I came in for an evaluation. Dr. Jess listened to my concerns and family medical history, conducted a very thorough examination of my spine and nervous system (which included X-rays and a thermal scan) and presented a treatment plan to get my body back in balance. I've heard some horror stories about bad alignments and chiropractic care gone wrong, and it was important for me to have full confidence in whoever would be touching my spine. With more than 20 years of experience and excellent reviews from other Yelpers, I decided to try a few treatments to see if I like the process before committing to a full treatment plan. Dr. Jess was supportive of my desire to have a "trial period" and took the time to educate me as to the process and the goal of each alignment and treatment that he did. I went on a family vacation in the middle of treatments and a day after I returned I had excruciating pain in my lower back to the point where I could barely walk (this was probably from sitting for a prolonged period on an international flight and picking up heavy suitcases...). Dr. Jess altered the treatment plan to focus on alleviating the pain and within 2 days the pain was gone! I also really appreciated the fact that Dr. Jess gave me his cell number in case I needed over the weekend. I am now 14 or so treatments in and my body looks and feels much better! I credit Dr. Jess and his wonderful support staff for making this a great experience and for getting the kind of results that I was hoping for. If you are considering chiropractic care, I highly recommend that you pay Dr. Jess a visit! read more

Best Chiropractor I've ever been to! A friend who had the similar cervical spine problems recommended Dr. Jess to me. She had done a lot of research and had been going to him for a long time. It was difficult to even find a chiropractor that I felt safe with working on my neck, but Dr. Jess helped me feel confident in his practice right away. He too is very thorough in his exam and plan of care. I have been going over a year now and my back has never been in better shape! Debbie is great in the office and always helps you feel welcome and work out the best appt. for you. read more

I've been going to Pontious Chiropractic since February (7 months) ... I can say now, that I am a total believer in this practice and in Dr. Pontious' manner. After doing 4 months of active treatment for a variety of things that just didn't feel right, I had lost 10 pounds, had clearer mind and stronger body. My body, overall, simply worked better. I took the summer off and couldn't believe the difference not having his adjustments made ... I am back to my weekly appointments and so glad I am. I was originally skeptical of Chiropractic care when I began ... I am now a total convert. Thanks for contributing to my overall health and well being! read more

I've been using Pontious Chiropractic for a few years now. I originally came in unable to walk upright (like a Neanderthal) . After looking at some X-rays Jess determined my problem areas and went to work. I have to say it is nice not to be in pain anymore. These guys put me on an affordable plan that has sustained my back from going out on me for years now. The staff there are really nice an it has a good magazine section to boot. read more

Pontious Chiropractic Loved it Hello~ I have been a client of Dr. Jess since 2005. I came to him as I tore my meniscus in my knee and was afraid to go through surgery. He keeps me pain free and I never felt pain in my knee since! He is SO Wonderful as an educator, body mechanic and good friend. He ensures his patients understand the process of chiropractic in an easy to understand way with videos, classes and just his conversation when you are being treated. He is very kind and thoughtful too. I recently thought I would do yoga (after a couple glasses of wine-MISTAKE) I obviously did a bit too much and the next day I could barely get out of bed! I am now 51 and need to be gentle getting back into shape. I had to lay on my bed, on my back and try to put my nylons on to avoid the pain in my lower back. My cats had their heads cocked sideways in concern ;-) I have a job traveling all day and getting in/out of my car. I was afraid! I called Dr. Jess and asked that I please be squeezed in for a 911 appt. He had a place for me extended past his closing time...not what I expected as I respect that his personal time is important. I expressed my pain and asked that he adjust me in a different fashion than his normal maintenance ways...he listened, I did not feel pain during the adjustment and within a couple days I am ALL BETTER! I want to Thank Dr. Jess for being my body's coach and good friend. I highly recommend him to anyone in the Tri Valley who wants to feel as good as I do. read more

Dr. Jess has the greatest beside manners when I saw him for my sciatic nerve injury. Very open and not pushy.

Dr. Pontious is excellent in every category you can think of, from his knowledge and technical skills to his careful listening and thoughtfulness . He's as smart and as kind as they come. His office staff is professional, personable and very helpful with insurance issues and appointments. Never an unpleasant experience. You will really feel comfortable and confident when you see how well run his office is. They are all truly dedicated in caring for their patients! I should know...as a health care professional, I see him as a great role model in regards to his character and abilities. The damaging effect of Repetitive Motion to the neck and spine was ending my career, but his chiropractic treatment and patient education has enabled me to continue in my occupation for many years now. Stronger and healthier. I'm doing really well because of Dr. Pontious. I can't thank him enough for his intelligent help and counceling over the years towards optimal healthy living. It's made all the difference. He's a crack up too! Fun to talk to. Soo funny, we always leave smiling and feeling great. He's just the best in every way. Dr. C read more

Doctor Pontious is outstanding! I am one of those guys who is hard on my body. Countless times, Dr. Pontious has gotten me back into alignment after a mountain bike crash, epic ski weekend, or just waking up with a sore back (I am getting old). For years I relied on Dr. Pontious to address the pain I was experiencing. I have finally seen the light and schedule monthly visits to keep my spine healthy rather than waiting for the pain to force me to go see him. Do yourself a favor and go see Doctor Pontious! read more

Dr. Jess and his staff are the best! Dr. Jess has magic hands and he is definitely one of the best! He has been able to relieve pain in my back, neck, knees and wrists over the years we have been coming to him. He is a great listener and his recommendations on stretching or other activities to assist in the healing of immediate issues and then helping to sustain a healthy spine and body are spot on. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Jess for about 9 years. I was in my mid 40s and was having migraines and vertigo that severely affected my life. Within just a couple of weeks of consistent adjustments, all symptoms disappeared. As long as I continue to visit Jess on a consistent basis, the migraines and vertigo are almost completely gone and I never have to worry about those. I've had all four of my kids also go to Dr. Jess for various reasons and it has been life-changing for our whole family. Thanks, Dr. Jess! read more

Great Chiropractor! He's so friendly including office staff. Christina is a doll! He's made adjustments for my family and friends. We always leave feeling so much better. Definitely recommend. read more

Jess Pontious is knowledgeable, professional and passionate about his work. I went to him with chronic lower back pain and predictable flare-ups with my shoulders and neck. He does x-rays in-house as part of his intake, and when I saw my spine next to a more healthy model, I was convinced that the pain was nerve related. Sure enough, with his treatment, my flare-ups have subsided and my lower back has improved tremendously. Dr. Jess is just a great guy. Very trustworthy, low-key, and effective in his work. read more

My family and I have been seeing Dr Pontious for over 2 years now. He has always provided us with excellent care and he really is an expert at what he does. Both of my boys play basketball and need regular adjustments. We love Dr Pontious! read more

Been coming to see Dr. Pontious for almost 2 years now, and I love his style and gentleness. Healing hands!

I was one of those folks "suspicious" of chiropractic and thought it was "hocus pocus". After years of recurrent headaches with no direct cause (not caffeine,diet,etc), I decided to try chiropractic as my next "stop",since lots of folks I knew loved it. Dr. Pontious came highly recommended and I soon found out how thorough and knowledgeable he is. He loves what he does and it shows. His office staff is always courteous and easy to work with. However, the bottom line is that my headaches went away after the first visit. I have been going to Dr. Jess for about 4 years and can really tell when I slack and don't go...so regular visits have kept me headache free. read more

Dr. Jess is the best!!! He helped my daughter so much. I would recommend him to anyone chiropractic service!

I wanted to take a few moments to praise the skills of this doctor. I came to Dr. Pontious after my back went out over thanksgiving. I went to medical doctors who threw me into traction and gave me heavy meds. After a week still in pain even completely beyond high on meds a friend took me to see Dr. Pontious. He did x-rays and a simple adjustment since I was in so much pain. After that 1 adjustment I was completely sold on Chiropractic and Dr. Pontious. Over the years I have moved away to Minnesota and Oregon. Both times Dr. Pontious transferred my x-rays and charts with wishes of continue good health. Yet in Minnesota I could not find a single Chiropractor that even came close to Dr. Pontious, even after 2yrs of searching. When I moved to Oregon I went through 8 Chiropractor before I found one that was close to Dr. Pontious's skill in adjustments and knowledge of continue spine / body health. That being said, when I found myself back in the Bay Area I went straight to Dr. Pontious for my health care. Even though I'm in Alameda and he is in Danville, I will follow him and continue my health care through him; for I have not found anyone else who can compare. read more
