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. Check out the hard copy to see the full-page photo of Whitney and Roselle in the Grand Ave clinic!

Testimonial – Susan
What a blessing to be able to share that quiet, healing space with my daughter. She loved the acupuncture and how she felt afterwards (I loved it, too.) So we’ll be making more appointments!

Affordable Chiropractic Care!
Robert Townsend D.C. has graciously offered to discount his services for our OAP community. Please mention you are an OAP patient and you will be able to receive a $50 initial visit. 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!
