I've been to quite a few chiropractors. Though I've had a few good ones over the years, the chiropractors at The Joint in Berkeley are great. But for me, Dr. Colvin is the guy. Also the staff at the front desk at check are always pleasant and welcoming. On a side note, when you visit, be sure to ask Dr. Colvin how accurate he is at making baskets. read more

I am so thankful I gave this office a chance! I had a bad experience in Texas with The Joint Chiropractic so, I definitely had some biased views towards the brand on my arrival. However, Dr. Clovin reassured me that I was in good hands. His assessment alone proved to me that he knew what he was doing. I have been going to him for about a month now -- so I am looking forward to see how this form of care will help me in the long run. Thank you for all that you do! read more

My husband was a first time patient and i was returning, it is always an amazing experience at the joint chiropractic. the receptionist was such a goofy man and the rest of the stuff are just kind hearted people making sure your needs are met. read more

I'm in the area often and have been meaning to try this facility. Today I was finally to do so. Came for a routine adjustment. I got that plus a comprehensive eval which brought to light many of my issues along with my wellness. Thanks Dr Laurent. read more

I've been using The Joint intermittently for a few years now. I usually patronize the Concord location where my favorite practitioners are, but I recently started going to this Berkeley location. Loved the amount of time and interest they took to do my adjustment. I always feel great when I leave. Definitely recommend this location. And The Joint in general. read more

The Joint Chiropractic - Chiropractors Near Me - Berkeley, California

I had a very uncomfortable and disappointing experience at this location. When my partner and I walked in, the front desk staff was helping another customer and told her she would need to come back another day because they didn't have time for an exam. When it was my turn, the front desk staff only asked for my phone number, and after that, there was almost no communication. A few minutes later, they told me that because I hadn't been in since May, I couldn't be adjusted and would need an exam. I explained that I'd just gone to another joint location a few days prior, and only then did they check and say that I was fine to be seen. After that, we were just left standing there in silence for about 10 minutes. No one explained what was happening, how long the wait would be, or whether the doctor was even going to see me. The lack of communication felt rude and unprofessional, and it made both me and my partner feel uncomfortable. When we finally said we were going to leave and come back another time, the front desk suddenly mentioned the doctor could call me back, but that had never been communicated before. We were basically left standing there, confused and waiting, without any explanation. First impressions matter a lot, especially in a healthcare setting, and unfortunately, this one made me very uneasy. read more

The chiro part is good but to cancel you have to go in person within a specific 2 day window and you can't cancel sooner. Also, I'm told I can't cancel over the phone or sign the cancel paperwork electronically. I have a crazy schedule those 2 days. What if folks are working out of town in that shiort window? It's 2026 - please allow patients to cancel electronically. I don't like having hurdles to jump through to get out of contracts. It's very unnecessary. read more

I had such a great first visit here! Dr. Rayna was amazing incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. As a runner dealing with some hip tightness, I really appreciated how carefully she listened to my concerns and explained everything she was doing, which made me feel completely comfortable. The office was clean and welcoming, and the staff was very friendly. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Great spot to get adjusted. Dr Laurent Colvin gets it done. Strong and effective treatments, great personality. I love sitting by the tree in the seating area. Staff are great. read more

Raya did an amazing job adjusting me! It was the most comprehensive acupuncture adjustment I have ever had and I've been adjusted many times. The office staff were also very pleasant and seeing the chiro who adjusted me last time was a good experience, too. I will definitely go see Raya again! read more

If I could give 100 stars for Dr. Colvin, the owner of The Joint on Telegraph in Berkeley, I would! This man is supremely knowledgeable and precise; most importantly he is FULL of compassion for his clients. My partner of 22 years was terminally ill and a longtime patient of Dr Colvin's. When my beloved partner became too weak to walk, Dr Colvin took it upon himself to come all the way to our house (after his long day at work, no less!) to adjust my partner in the comfort of our home. He came up with innovative ways to do this because as you can imagine, the positioning was tricky without his chiropractic table. My partner always experienced such relief after the adjustments! It was very touching for me to watch; my heart was completely overjoyed each time because my partner was in terrible pain. Every time he'd come over, it was as if an Angel was coming through the door. I cannot possibly thank this man enough, nor repay his kindnesses. What I also appreciate is the fact that there were one or two adjustments Dr. Colvin would not perform, either because it was contraindicated for his condition, or because he couldn't do it properly without his equipment. In other words, Dr. Colvin is very thoughtful, honest and strategic about what will be a success for your body. My partner studied Osteopathy, and not only performed adjustments as well, but innovated/ created / new ones .. he was a Master at adjusting the spine. He would NOT allow just anyone to adjust his body... I'm not being facetious when I say my partner scoured the earth to find a Chiropractor who truly knows how to adjust properly. Dr. Colvin was the one person he could trust and return to time and time again. I myself have been adjusted by Dr. Colvin after a great consultation where he pointed out things to me I hadn't known, and the adjustments he felt safe to perform were wonderful! There are not enough words in the English language to express my deepest gratitude to the man (Dr. Colvin) who provided such comforts to my beloved partner during his last months on this earth. He comforted him in profound ways, relieved his pain in a way I just couldn't do. It was SO NEEDED, and so profoundly appreciated by us! It brings tears to my eyes, still, every time I think about it. If you need a great adjustment, and a skilled and knowledgeable honest and caring person to assist you, LOOK NO FURTHER. Bless you ALWAYS, Dr. Colvin. read more

I've been dealing with soreness and aches in my upper and lower back for a while and finally decided to get it checked out. Dr. Meyers was great--easy to talk to, gave me helpful suggestions, and walked me through everything. The adjustment felt amazing (I was really crunchy that day!) and I actually slept like a baby afterward. Ended up getting a membership because I know I definitely needed this. Highly recommend! Everyone from the front staff to the doctor was great. read more

Excellent service, unmatched professional , never waiting more than 20 mins , most of the time I'm in and out within 15 minutes. But above all every time I leave my body is always feeling better. Love this place. FYI the membership is worth it. read more

Awesome experience I will continue to get this treatment hopefully the ones in my area are as good as he was or else I'll have to come to him when I'm in town. Now this is what I call a good Joint. read more

I have been a patient of The Joint for some years now. Dr. Colvin, who owns and operates this establishment, is hands down the best chiropractor I have ever seen. I don't say this lightly - I am an orthopedic massage therapist myself, and have seen many chiropractors over the last 30 yrs. Dr. Colvin is a highly skillful adjuster - always quick and precise. I have never had a painful adjustment from Dr. Colvin and always feel better after seeing him. He has released restrictions in my neck and lower back that no other chiropractor has achieved. Other great things about Dr. Colvin: he has great boundaries, is friendly and professional, works quickly, and is very knowledgable; he enjoys educating his clients about spinal care. The office staff are also friendly and welcoming. Additionally, this is one of the best deals out there, whether you opt for a package or a membership. You don't have to schedule in advance, and usually it's a short wait. It's very unusual to be able to get same day care, when you really need it. Dr. Colvin insists on re-evaluating you if you haven't been in for several months, and this is for the protection of the client, to make sure you have not experienced a change in your condition. Dr. Colvin is very careful to give the highest quality of care possible. I have a lot of confidence in the effectiveness of the treatments I have received at this clinic. read more

The McDonald's of Chiropractors ..Absolutely Dangerous I visited Dr. Laurent Covin at The Joint on July 31, 2025, and it was nothing short of a disaster. Instead of improving my neck pain, the adjustment left me in excruciating agony. I could barely move, sit up, or function for days. I had paid for a 2-month membership but could not continue after this experience. This place is like the McDonald's of chiropractors, rushed, impersonal, and completely careless. The adjustment caused real, lasting pain, and the staff showed little concern for the outcome. If you care about your body, DO NOT LET HIM TOUCH YOU! My experience was physically painful, mentally exhausting, and utterly unacceptable. I strongly advise anyone considering this office to run the other way. This is not healthcare, it's reckless and dangerous. read more

DO NOT GO HERE IF YOURE PREGNANT OR IF CARE ABOUT WOMEN BEING RESPECTED. I went in at almost 6 months pregnant (21 weeks and 4 days, 23 weeks is 6 months pregnant). I was instructed to lie face down for part of the adjustment despite chiropractic industry standards that suggest avoiding face down placement in women as early as 14 to 16 weeks pregnant . Although I was uncomfortable with this instructing and braced myself to protect my pregnant belly by crossing my arms underneath me, I didn't know the specifics of this until after I was adjusted. thankfully neither my baby nor I were harmed although this sort of treatment can cause pregnancy complications and lead to Miscarriage. After a little bit of research, I contacted the clinic to request cancellation of my membership due to their negligence in caring for me. Initially the owner of the clinic, Dr. Colvin apologized and stated that the adjusting chiropractor should not have put me face down post 20 weeks and agreed to partially refund the services. However, Dr. Colvin then followed up with a series of emails suggesting that I was not as pregnant (he said I didn't "look 6 months pregnant") as I claimed and lecturing me about advocating for myself in healthcare settings. He went on a long rant about how I should not get a C-section just because the doctor recommends this. i'm only posting this review because of his condescending and patronizing emails, as well as his failure to refund me. This constitutes medical negligence and extreme unprofessionalism. I will Never return to this location. some of the WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE OF MY LIFE. grateful my baby wasn't harmed. See attached photos of Dr. Colvin's emails read more

It's frustrating when companies aren't transparent about policies, then give you attitude like you should've known. It was my third time visiting the location, visiting the same chiropractor. I got there 10 minutes before opening to be first in line because I had a tight schedule that day. It had been 3 months since I visited (which I call a win), but because of the time, their policy was to consider me a new customer. This is silly when it's my third time there with the same chiropractor, visiting for the same reason. Because I'm a "new" customer, I get sent to the back of the line, despite arriving first. (Not only is this probably a ploy to get people to become monthly subscribers, but it's based on the unsound logic that new customers take longer, and therefore have to wait longer than other customers.) When I mentioned this to the office staff, who happened to arrive late for work, she gave me attitude and then said the reason why I'm having to wait is because I'm not there as often. So, you penalize people who are improving, and while trying to recruit recurring members you simultaneously discourage people from joining with your poor customer service? read more

This is my second favorite location of The Joint. I usually go to the CV location, but when I'm in Oakland/Berkeley area this is my spot! Dr. Meyers & Dr. Walton take their time in adjusting me. My visits here are super personal & I'm never rushed. If you consistently go to your visits and take care of your body outside of the practice, you will see improvements. Thank you Dr. Meyers & Dr. Walton for always looking out for me! :-) read more

The Joint Chiropractic - Saw Dr. Walton today. He was amazing and all the problem areas I was having he addressed them. - Chiropractors Near Me - Berkeley, California

Normally, I only see Dr. Colvin, however, it was urgent today, so I came in and was seen by the male doctor on call on Sunday ( an African American gentleman). Believe me when I tell you that I know every kind of somatic modality and have been to many many chiropractors. This doctor was so ridiculously basic and did not take even one percent more interest in finding out about what my issue was or how it was caused. I am very disappointed with the doctor and his indifferent attitude because I have always found this place ti be good and convenient for a quick fix. read more

Dr Colvin is the best chiropractor!!! he Can detect your problem areas and adjusts gently! i Try to go once a week to keep in good shape!

All the chiropractors at the Berkeley "The Joint Chiropractic" are very skilled and experienced! For the past 1.5 years I have been treated mostly by the owner, Dr. Colvin, who is compassionate, responsive to treating your main complaint, and willing to go above and beyond to get you relief! Unfortunately, I have had many car accidents over the last 2 decades, needing a lot of bodywork to recover from my injuries. Dr. Colvin and the other staff are "there" for you to get you better. and their business format of being open 7 days a week on a walk-in basis is genous!! read more

The BEST chiropractic team I've ever experienced! If you haven't heard about The Joint, it's one of the no B.S., in and out, most friendliest staff, gets the job done, will leave you relaxed, while releasing endorphins, experience in a "medical" office. You're not gonna find some doctor with a white jacket, but a team of professionals with different personalities that will always make you feel welcome and grateful after each visit. They're really funny and warm. This is a drop in service, first come first serve, but never have I had to wait too long. Even if you have to, it's worth it! Thank you team on Telegraph Ave; my body is so much happier with every visit. read more

Yesterday, I was able to be seen with Dr. Rayna and I have never been seen with a chiropractor before. She made me very comfortable throughout the entire interaction. The second time around, I brought my husband with me and we sat nearby the door and one of the chiropractors/the owner kept on throwing trash near my husband? The second time he threw trash towards him, he looked at him directly and said "Wow, I keep missing you." ? My husband respectfully went outside and did not want to even entertain something like that especially with what is going on in the world. I felt like we were kind of racially profiled at this place by the owner himself. I appreciate Dr. Rayna for everything, but looks like we are going to have to look for another Joint Chiropractor. I only give 5 stars to Dr. Rayna and 2.5 stars for how the owner treated my husband. Definitely not okay. read more

Accessible care and good availability. The doctor I saw got some good mobility adjustments from me.

Connecting to this place is one of my best decisions ever! I've been to other chiropractors in the last 35 years, and despite varying techniques, they each have been effective (admittedly, to varying degrees). The basic drawback has always been having the time/money to go more than once every so often. There are at least three very capable longstanding doctors (Walton, Kamerzell, and Colvin), they are open 7 days a week, available on a drop-in basis, until 7pm. For a very reasonable monthly retainer, I can get up to 4 times for free - so I do it! As soon as I knock my neck or back or knee out of alignment, even slightly, I go! This proactive approach, means I have very little ongoing discomfort: YAY! read more

I love the joint I love the flexible hours. I love I don't have to make appointment . If my back acting up I just go there. Dr Anaya always does a wonderful job adjusting me. The staff are very professional and friendly. read more

Dr Laurent Colvin has changed my life in just a month of seeing him. He is absolutely incredible. I started seeing him for chronic lower back pain that I was experiencing for the past 6 months. It was making my life miserable. After the first visit alone, I noticed a massive difference. After the second, my pain was gone completely after months of trying different things. Every visit since, he is so quick to know exactly what's going on with my body and fix it within just 5 minutes or less, which speaks to his experience in the field. I'm so grateful for him! read more

Excellent and very convenient care for adjustment. I love that you do not need to make an appointment, I just drop in when I'm free. Very professional environment. read more

Quick in and out. No fuss, no muss. All magic. This location opens later than my usual spot on Saturdays. Once I checked in, I waited for a few minutes then they had me lay face down per usual. My back has been pretty tight lately and it wouldn't crack the last time I went 2 days prior. Also didn't help that the last doc didn't wait til I exhaled before pushing down or shoving me around. The doc today was great. Didn't catch his name but he was efficient. He inquired about my pain level and how I was feeling before we began. Body cracked beautifully and I felt the instant relief. It was wondrous. read more

BEWARE OF BEING TRAPPED INTO SIGNING FINE PRINT ABOUT $89/MONTH PLAN with ongoing charges to your card until you provide their cancellation document. I was happy with the Chiropractor who treated me for 4 sessions in 2 month period which was the agreement I signed on for to get the introductory first session at $29. Receptionist explained the benefits of agreeing to this 2 month membership, etc. What she didnt mention was that, by signing all the paperwork of the membership, they could continue charging my card 89/mo beyond the 2 months. They did this for 3 additional months before I caught it and then refused to refund it. They said unless I actively had provided the cancellation document they would continue charging me. read more

The past couple of times I've come in I've had bad experiences with the front desk people. Which is a shame considering I've liked the chiropractors that have worked on me. The first front person was pushy and despite me politely saying "no" was aggressively trying to sell me a monthly package. The second one was incompetent. My partner and I came in at 135pm and were told to fill out forms since we had not visited for a while, but then at 140pm we were told to come back at 3pm because they were going on a break at 2pm. Huh? But it was 140pm and why would we come in just to fill out forms and then leave? That doesn't make any sense. The front desk person could have told us they were closing soon and to come back at 3pm or get adjusted first and fill out paperwork after. Not my partner and I have been in the service industry for many years and we know there are many ways to accommodate in a situation like that. The lack of better customer service ruined it for us. We won't be back. read more

I've been a patient of Dr Colvin's since 2011. He's an amazing healer with tons of experience. His business had a remodel and looks great. Since this location gets super busy at times, Dr Colvin added additional chiropractors. On Mondays and Fridays, he his three chiropractors working. On the weekends, he employed two chiropractors. Thanks again Dr. Colvin for making me whole again. Scott H. read more

Superb! Went in with big doubts, little hope, a migraine and extreme 10 scale pain. I could barely walk the few blocks from my home to The Joint. Short wait, fantastic front desk staff. Dr. Laurent adjusted me and unbelievably the pain, headache was gone. This doctor knows what he is doing. I was a huge sceptic, went to a few Chiropractors in the past, it's been close to 10 years, went here as last minute last resort and am so thank full that I did. I'm an athlete and former personal trainer. I bought the membership. So affordable. Many places will charge 200$ a visit. I went in for the 29$ special and ended up getting the 89$ monthly and can cancel after 2 months if needed. Multiple locations all over California. Drop in, no appointments, so convenient! Highest recommendation!!! read more

My husband described these folks as awesome in every way...he bought 20 sessions, and they are worth every penny.. He is a former athlete, and requires a chiro twice a week and message e/o week.. The folks make life just BETTER read more

Dr. Colvin you saved me!!!! After I was almost immobilized by a fall, I could hardly move my neck. I had headaches and couldn't sleep. My posture is a joke too.

The Joint Chiropractic - Big airy space - Chiropractors Near Me - Berkeley, California

I've been a patient of Dr. Colvin and his team for the past decade. In my youth, I spent time in the Navy, worked as a commercial fisherman in Alaska, and did a bunch of other things that had a lasting effect on my body. Dr. Laurent Colvin and the Joint Chiropractic team in Berkeley have kept me healthy and happy. They've gone above and beyond to help me. Dr. Colvin went to considerable extra effort to help me with an issue with the Veteran's Administration. I'm very grateful for their care and was completely unsurprised to learn that Dr. Colvin was rated the #1 chiropractor in the city. He's also the most affordable. If you get on their care plan, you will save a fortune as well as live a happier life. Thank you to the whole Berkeley Joint Team! read more
