At Rockridge Family Chiropractic, we have been serving the Oakland and East Bay area for over 30 years, helping to bring relief and wellness to thousands of patients through safe and natural chiropractic care. Our goal is to help people regain and maintain their health through chiropractic care, primarily through spinal care and education.
Our Approach to Health
As a family practice, we specialize in helping patients of all ages and backgrounds. Our team of experienced chiropractors, Dr. Doug Ross and Dr. Virginia Frederick, have taken care of a wide range of injuries and ages, from babies to 90-year-olds, and from all over the Berkeley, Oakland, and East Bay areas. Our chiropractic adjustments, also known as the correction of back, spine, and nerve problems, are the primary means we use in treatment. We also teach patients how to support their alignment and return to health with simple, structured at-home rehabilitation exercises.
Our Chiropractic Care
At Rockridge Family Chiropractic, we use state-of-the-art technology, including our computerized Impulse IQ instrument, to treat a great variety of conditions and body types safely and accurately. Dr. Ross has a sub-specialty in neck, shoulder, arm, and extremity problems, while Dr. Frederick has extensive experience with very small children as well as adults. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to experience the amazing benefits of chiropractic care.
Our Patient-Centric Approach
We understand that getting better is a process, and we take all the time necessary to work with each patient to find out exactly what they need based on their particular situation. We also remember what it's like to be a patient and to be in discomfort. Our goal for you is not only to feel better but to be better, stronger, and more resilient. Your body has an amazing, innate ability to heal, but sometimes it needs a little help - and that's what we do.
