OAP was profiled in Oakland Magazine’s featured article for January-February 2012, “Unconventional Medicine: Heal Thyself Through Alternative and Complementary Therapies.” Just one small correction: we do NOT have any private rooms! The article also profiles other “alternative” medical providers including a homeopath, a naturopathic doctor, a chiropractic practice, and an herbalist.

Affordable Chiropractic Care!

This will include a complete assessment and a chiropractic adjustment. All follow up visits/adjustments will be just $30! Dr. Townsend is conveniently located in the same building as our Grand Avenue location. He can be found at 3718 Grand Ave. suite 3. Schedule online or call 510-708-9363.
In our experience chiropractic care and acupuncture treatments work very well together. It is common for people who are able to utilize both modalities to feel better quicker and stay better longer!
