Barnes Carol, DC

Welcome back Carol! After missing her for several years I finally found her at her new address…
5324 SAN PABLO AVENUE, OAKLAND, 510−255−1050
Dr. Carol Barnes is AMAZING! My back went out on Sunday and in an act of desperation I looked her up hoping I might find her again. (She is my favorite chiropractor and I had been going to her for years before she took a year off.) She was able to see me that day. She spent 2 hours with me working out all the tight spots until I was about 75% back to normal. I then went home and, per her suggestions, took an epsom salt bath. The next morning I was 100% back to normal with NO pain!
Carol was also incredibly patient with my not-​so-​patient 6 year old who attended the appointment with me (no childcare options).
I’m so happy she is back and have already referred her to several friends!

Dr. Carol Barnes is the best chiropractor in the world, as far as I am concerned ! She is a genius with pain management. Her therapeutic massages are completely healing (and a bit painful after a day or so !!! like you worked out at the gym… :).The massages are the best source for pain. She helped to correct and heal my serious back sprain and ongoing sciatica.
I highly recommend her. She is honest and caring… her office space is so comfortable like a cozy studio apartment. Her dog Angie adds to the overall charm.

Just saw Dr. Barnes in her new location. Her office is now on San Pablo between 53^rd and 54^th street. Parking is plentiful and she is still an amazing healer. I am so glad she is back!!!

Some of the best bodywork and chiropractic work I have ever had. Dr. Carol is skilled, intuitive, and compassionate. She is really magic — I highly recommend her for acute issues or regular maintenance.

Dr. Barnes is one of these therapists that you should know because she will heal you and make you feel fantastic.
I first saw Dr. Barnes when I was 6 months pregnant. I came in with a sore back and a cold. I came out energized and breathing better than ever. Although I didn’t even ask her to work on my cough and cold, just on my back her expert hands even managed to unclog my ears!
Dr. Barnes is wonderful, trustworthy and very knowledgeable. She will take the time it needs to heal you.

Dr. Carol Barnes is the best chiropractor I’ve ever been to. (And I’ve been to quite a few) She is very caring, compassionate and is a true healer. She is gentle with you if you need gentleness, and more assertive with her treatment if that is what is called for. I cannot recommend her more highly. Everyone I meet who needs a chiropractor or a massage therapist I refer to her, even though she is across the Bay. Please treat yourself and go to this amazing chiropractor.

I have been to many bodyworkers over the years, and I think Dr Carol is one of a kind. Not only is shae an incredible MT, but she is also a Chiropractor. I feel that i can trust my body to her, even when I am feeling fragile. She has such an extensive background, and brings patience, love, and an awesome healing presence to the work she does. She is the best!!!

Dr. Carol is MAGIC. Everyone in my family comes here when they have a debilitating kink that just can’t be worked out. It is fixed in no time.
She is MUCH MUCH more than just a DC. She does incredible muscle work and even uses vibrations and oils to work out kinks. This is actually why I go to her, I want something more intense than the turn and crunch kind and the pain is GONE when I leave her place and I feel worked over, not just adjusted!
Plus Dr. Carol will work with you until it is fixed for just the one cost. It can take 1hour or 2 and she keeps working! Also, she can get you in at the drop of a hat, staying late or opening early for emergencies.
I think everyone should come here but people should be warned
1) there is a very affectionate doggie who works with Dr. C and so be advised if you don’t like dogs or feel they too are healers.
2) Dr. C is very talkative, I enjoy this but if you don’t, just tell her, I think it is helpful though for her to know the stresses in your life
3) Dr. C is very Berkeley, this isn’t like a Dr’s. office it is more like a spiritual center with music and healing so don’t expect some stainless steel office.
