The best chiropractor I have ever seen! Thank you so much Dr. Thao. I had no idea that I was so out of alignment. The work was incredible and instant results. I'm so happy that I am straight and standing a lot taller now. This is a very special office and talented, gifted, holistic, positive chiropractor. I'm a professional athlete and had all but given up on finding a chiropractor to work with me on my physical challenges from sports over the years until I found this practice! read more

I am very disappointed with my experience at Thao Chiropractic. About six weeks ago, I went in for an adjustment that involved three adjustments to my neck. During one of them, I felt a burning sensation on the left side of my neck. Since then, I have had ongoing stiffness and pain and cannot fully turn my neck to the left. It feels like a pinched nerve. I contacted the chiropractor about a week later and was told to move my neck around and that it would be fine. When I later explained that the pain was still significant, I was offered another adjustment at half price. I asked instead for an assessment because my neck was too painful to be touched. The day before the appointment, my doctor advised me not to have anything done to my neck because it could further irritate the problem. I texted the chiropractor to cancel and explained why. **He never responded--not even a simple acknowledgment or expression of concern.** Adjustments were not new to me as I had an Amazing Chiropractor for 30 years before he retired. Nothing like this had ever happened! I had hoped for professionalism, compassion, and concern when I reported ongoing pain. Unfortunately, I did not receive that. read more

When I got to the clinic and got some adjustments, I highly recommend it. Clean space, affordable prices & you feel like a million bucks walking out of there. read more

I've tried many different chiropractors but from the moment I found Dr. Steven Thao I never wanted to go anywhere else!! Every time I need some adjustments, he's totally awesome and puts our backs into place again.. Great atmosphere, reasonable prices.. I recommend him to everyone :) and I'll certainly be back soon!! read more

Really great care and quality experience. Thao is a godsend for what he does. As soon as I needed to come in they were fast and easy to contact. read more

Walked in with my apt and out in less than 15 mins. He was able to get my back adjusted way better than other Chiros I've been to before. Love the Y-Strap. He actually adjusts my legs and hands and shoulders and not just the neck and back like other places. Highly recommended. Love that they had a $29 new member special read more

Was introduced to Dr. Thao by a friend. I was apprehensive at first. I appreciated the thorough New Patient form I had to fill out the first time. Dr. Thao is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He does a visual check of your standing posture before he begins and explains some of the issues he notices. He then goes into the adjustment, guiding you every step of the way. You can tell he is very passionate about being a Chiropractor and the benefits his patients receive from his care. I have been adjusted a few times by him and enjoyed it so much I recommended it to my parents who are in their 70's. My mother (71yrs old as of this post) was nervous as well it being her first adjustment ever, but again, Dr. Thao is a professional and knows how to adjust his intensity levels for geriatric patients. His facility is clean and there is ample parking in the area. I highly recommend this spot and encourage all who may be apprehensive about adjustments to stop by. I am sure you will leave feeling a whole lot better overall and wanting to come back. read more

I had an outstanding experience with Dr. Steve Thao, DC at Thao Chiropractic. From the moment I walked in, he welcomed me warmly and truly listened to my concerns. I came in with severe lower back pain, neck pain, and knee pain. My neck was practically locked, and I was struggling to function day to day. Dr. Thao took the time to understand exactly where I was hurting and why. His knowledge and calm approach immediately put me at ease. During my visit, he identified the problem areas quickly and treated them with care and confidence. The results were immediate--my neck unlocked, my back and knee pain released, and I felt like a brand-new person walking out of the clinic. What stood out most was how attentive and compassionate he is. He doesn't rush; he listens, explains, and treats with precision. If you're dealing with back, neck, knee, or joint pain, I highly recommend visiting Dr. Thao. Based on my experience, you won't regret it--you'll be grateful.

When I got to the clinic, things were pretty normal at the front. I checked in, filled out some forms, and sat down. I waited a little longer than I expected but not too bad. Once I was in the back, the assistant asked some routine questions, then left. The doctor walked in and got right into things but not in a rushed way. They asked what I was experiencing and then asked more specific things after that. I liked that they gave their full attention and weren't typing on a computer the whole time. They actually looked at me while I talked, which made me feel like I was being listened to. After going over everything, they explained a few next steps and what to watch out for. I didn't feel pressured into anything, just given enough info to think about. The place runs fairly well and the staff seem to care about doing their job right. read more

My wife & I go to Dr. Thao once a month. He is amazing. Clean space, affordable prices & you feel like a million bucks walking out of there. Highly recommended. Plenty of parking behind their office location. read more

I can't begin to tell you how fantastic you'll feel after an adjustment. I come for the long adjustment, roughly 15 min. I'd leave feeling like a new person with my entire body relaxed and loosen up. Dr Thao is amazing! I highly recommend it! read more

I recently visited Thao Chiropractic for my first adjustment and had an excellent experience. From beginning to end, Dr. Thao provided attentive, efficient, and thorough care that went above and beyond my expectations.I had some lower back and shoulder pain and Dr. Thao made me feel like a new person. I would highly recommend Dr. Thao and will continue seeing him in the future. read more

Thao Chiropractic - All-in-one service - Chiropractors Near Me - Belmont, California

I've been taking my family to come see Dr. Steve for the past 4 years. We've been to many other chiropractors around the bay area and I'll guarantee that you'll never find another chiropractor like Dr. Steve. When visiting other chiropractors, it would take many many visits to eventually loosen things up enough, so we thought that was the standard. After seeing Dr. Steve we found out that we didn't have to settle. He takes the time to adjust everything that could be causing your pinched nerves or bad posture. In top of that he's very personable and takes the time to tell you things that can help you improve your form. Don't take my word for it, stop by and see for yourself what the Dr. Steve difference is. read more

Amazing as always ! We love coming to Steve. He always makes us feel so relaxed and brand new every time. No pain at all and gets everything fixed. read more

I feel great after my adjustment. My upper back and shoulder area was so stiff, but after seeing Dr. Thao, I feel light as a feather. So far, I have had a great experience. I feel more at ease since I've been sleeping better. Will definitely keep coming back. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Thao. Before seeing Dr. Thao I was seeing another chiropractor for 2 months 3X a week and ZERO improvement. And before him I was seeing another chiropractor for a month and also ZERO improvement. I googled who's the best chiropractor in my area and it seems like everyone is the best I am just tired of seeing another chiropractor that promises he can fix my back but I have to commit to a long-term adjustment. I found Dr. Thao, crazy enough through a Facebook ad that he was offering a special price for adjustment. The promotion was so cheap that I signed up for it. I have been seeing chiropractors for over 40 and it was the BEST adjustment ever. I felt instant improvement. His technique is different. After the adjustment, he didn't try to sell me a long-term commitment. He didn't try to sell me a pillow, back brace, or shoe cushion. I was so impressed with him that I sell myself to buy a discounted 10 adjustment price. Don't take my word for it, ask him for the promotional price and experience it for yourself. He's a 10 out of 10. read more

I'm a full-time bed side nurse, constantly on my feet. I can have shifts where I spend all 8 hours on my feet, except for on my break. This takes a toll on my lumbar spine and especially my lats and shoulder blades area. I have sciatica too. Dr Thao has been aligning my spine since last year and it's helped so much with my sciatica! Word of mouth for the friends and family discount makes it soooo worth it! Highly recommend! read more

Good care Explained his technique A little bit rough but good results Accommodating of my schedule read more

Life changing experience in 15 minutes. Unlike others that came with certain problem areas, I don't really have any pain in general but I haven't gotten my back cracked in years. Being a stomach sleeper and sitting long hours with poor posture, I knew I needed this. Dr. Thao got to work right away and cracked my entire body and massaged my back and shoulders, got some knots out too. Super knowledgeable and friendly guy, I'd recommend read more

Attentive and very proficient in identifying problem areas of my shoulder and back and adjustment was effective. Felt like a new person leaving. Definitely will go back. read more

We've always gotten great adjustments by Dr. Thao. I ended up switching chiropractors because his hours of operation and my work schedule didn't align, and now I'm sorry that I invested in a package at a place that's twice as far away and twice as expensive because they no longer have Saturday clinic, and now Dr. Thao is open until 7pm! I've never been a fan of the offices that make you come in for expensive xrays, exams, and consultations. Especially because I used to work for a chiropractor who did just that. His adjustments were the same, regardless, and the other stuff was just a way of adding additional costs to your treatment. The adjustments were great, don't get me wrong, but the other stuff just wasn't necessary. There's none of that at Thao Chiropractic. You come in, pay, get your adjustment, and you leave. No pretense, no silly exams to convince you that you need x number of treatments, just... What's going on with your back right now? Ok, let me fix that. Let's be real. That's what pretty much everyone wants anyway. Anytime me or FH are feeling out of whack, we visit Dr. Thao and we leave feeling much better - he's that good. Can't recommend him enough! read more

thank you to Dr. Steve and Thao Chiropractic for accommodating me today! my visit helped me feel better immediately and I will definitely be coming back soon to continue receiving care and healing my spine & strengthening my overall health. I didn't know my body could make those cracks, Dr. Steve is the real deal - don't hesitate, get adjusted and start feeling like yourself again! read more

I've had chronic dull neck pain for ages. Dr. Steve was detail-oriented, efficient and very precise in readjusting basically my whole spine. He took one look at my posture and knew exactly which joints to crack. Adjustments like this hugely elevate my daily quality of life, will definitely be back! read more

When in the Bay, a visit is a must! Dr. Thao makes sure you are comfortable and very flexible with time. If you haven't gotten an adjustment before then you need to go NOW! Your life is forever changed the moment your adjustment starts. My recent birthday weekend, I mentioned to all of my friends how all I really wanted for my birthday was an Adjustment by Dr. Thao, and just like that we all booked an appointment and everyone felt a little taller after our session. Many smiles/laugh but most importantly we all left always wanting to go back. Looking forward til the next time we go back to the Bay and booking a session with Dr. Thao. read more

I've dealt with TMJ issues the past couple of years due to stress of work and my residency but Thao completely reset my body and jaw and it feels better then it has in years. Definitely would recommend him to anyone who has dealt with pain for the longest time! read more

I was still working in the Bay Area then and I needed a adjustment. Came to visit Dr Thao and the first time I got adjusted, I was able to finally sleep better (keep in mind I used to commute every day). In fact I continue visit Dr Thao after and my back go straighter! I don't work in the bay anymore but I will be in need of an adjustment soon. I highly recommend Dr Thao to my family and friends. Thanks Steve and team! read more

I had my first chiropractic visit ever with Dr Thao yesterday. Although the cracking sounds made by my bones were a little scary, Dr Thao completely fixed my tailbone injury. I had been suffering from it for 9 months and in one 12 min visit, Dr Thao fixed it. Why didn't I go sooner? Thanks, Dr Thao! read more

I feel like a new man after meeting thao. wish I can go everyday. He took good care of me and was very thoughtful.

I tried Dr. Steve in early Feb as he had a promotion since my normal chiropractic doctor moved from San Mateo to Walnut Greek. Since then, I asked my husband to try, and now I bought my 14-yr-old son there (he has scoliosis). Dr Steve's treatment is different than the chiropractic I went before. I think the adjustment is kinda intense, but feels very good. I have neck and shoulder pain, after the adjustment I feel so light. Recommend to try!!! read more

Hands down the best chiropractor I've ever seen. Dr. Thao does not cut any corners and gives the attention needed. I started seeing him because of a lower back injury which rendered me almost completely immobile, by the time he was done with the first session, I was able to do a deep squat, and was practically back to normal. I came back within the same week, and after a few sessions, I would have never known I had the injury to begin with. Absolutely recommend!!! read more

I went to visit Thao chiropractic because they offer a $29 on first time patients. I appreciate the initial visit, Dr. Thao actually did a great job with the adjustments. I feel much better after first visit. read more

Highly recommend. Easy to book appointments. Open till 7 pm on weekdays. Extremely affordable for the quality of service you are receiving (discount if paying cash; $40 for the quick adjustment and $80 for long adjustment). I always leave feeling like a new person with my pain gone! read more

I came in for my first appointment with Dr. Thao to address my chronic neck and shoulder tightness. After a single visit with him, I feel so much better! My neck and back are so relaxed and I have increased range of motion all around. Thank you Dr. Thao and see you at my next appointment! read more

I highly recommend Thao Chiropractic! Dr. Thao is skilled, efficient, effective, personable and kind! He has definitely "fixed" my issues and relieved my severe pain when I have come in for adjustments. And he has a massage chair! My history: -Multiple car accidents/whiplash 3x -Severe migraines with aura (seeing lights in my vision)/tension headaches, pain so bad I get nauseous and even throw up -Used crutches + wheelchair for 3 years after knee surgeries which left my body in shambles basically -Nursing mother of a big little girl -So many huge, old knots that even my friend who studied neuromuscular massage therapy was like, "Daaang!" So yeah. Thanks Dr. Thao! P.S. Don't neglect your health during these lockdowns -- choose to be proactive, don't let fear keep you from caring for yourself (which affects everyone in your life). Chiropractic is very important and your spine affects your whole body -- nervous system, digestion, everything! When your health suffers, your immune system will suffer, too. Don't hesitate to get in and get yourself taken care of, and encourage your loved ones to do the same! read more

Long session is very relaxing and helps loose my tight muscle and stubborn joints.

I drive three hours to see Steve. In fact, I've driven three hours to bring my family members to see Dr. Thao. He's knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about what he does. I highly recommend him for your chiropractic needs. read more

I'm so glad to have found Dr. Thao's Chiro office! I've been to other places before but none has done the Y-Strap and different adjustment techniques that I have ever experienced before!

So, don't hesitate and get your adjustment now! read more

Thanks Dr. THAO! read more
