Dr. Vu Tran, DC

I came to see Dr. Tran to work on aligning my shoulders and noticed a significant difference after the first visit. Each subsequent visit improved not just the alignment but my overall well being. He’s an amazing healer, utilizing a holistic approach that’s very easy on the patient. I highly recommend Dr. Tran to anyone needing chiropractic care.

Dr. Tran has helped me tremendously with my back pain. He is very attentive and understands the body well. I highly recommend Dr. Tran to anyone who’s body is in need of some serious TLC.

Dr. Vu Tran has made a huge impact in my life. Fifteen years ago I fractured a vertebrae in my back while snowboarding in Vermont. I then lived in NJ and was under the care of medical doctors. I was on disability for a year and was told by my «doctors» that I will be in pain for the rest of my life. The vertebrae spaceing had changed because of the injury so my back would never be the same. Their treatment was a regement of narcotic painkillers and anti-​inflamatories. These drugs changed my personality and ruined my perception of myself. I lived this way for eight years until I moved to California and met Dr. Tran at a farmers market.
Vu is very educated and comitted to his practice and patients. There were times that I was in extreme pain to the point where my motion was limited. I called him more than once outside of office hours and he met me at the office for an emergency treatment which got me moving again. He is constantly continuing his education in the chiropractic field as well as in other fields related to personal wellness. He helped me get off of all the pain medication I was addicted to. He also pays attention to any other problems you may have. Vu feels gratified when his patients are moving, smiling, and living full lives. I now play golf and softball regularly almost pain free. I am a union electrician and enjoy working everyday because my body feels good.
Vu educates his patients on how to live a healthy lifestyle. He teaches that everything in the body works together. Poor bone alignment and movement causes pain. He also looks at diet and educates on what imbalances cause pain. Chiropractic and overall wellness is a commitment worth making. Dr. Tran has been treating me for eight years now and I am extremely grateful.

Dr. Tran is effective, thorough and an expert at his craft. I received treatment from him for chronic neck, back, jaw, and hip tension for nearly 3 months. A nagging sharp and chronic pain in my left hip flexor had me nearly unable to raise my leg when I first visited Dr. Tran. I now am free of the debilitating pain and my body feels much more balanced. I trust the work of Dr. Tran and would refer him confidently to anyone, including those nervous about chiropractic care and manual adjustments.

My very good friend recommended Dr. Tran after I had an injury to my index left finger. At first I thought it was silly to seek treatment for one finger. However, after consulting with Dr. Tran, I felt comfortable having a session with him as he was very thorough in his explanation and treatment. He made some adjustments and used and instrument to manipulate blood flow to the joint. Thereafter, he gave after care instructions and so far so good. My finger has pretty much gone back to normal. He’s a terrific chiropractic doctor and very personable.

These reviews were pretty similar to my experience with Dr. Tran. I had met him through a recommendation of a friend, and I highly trust word of mouth recommendation.
My first visit with Dr. Tran was very in-​depth where he took notes and asked a lot of questions. He was able to explain and inform in details why my back problems happen and gave a realistic time frame of treatment. He explained every steps of what he’s doing and is very friendly the whole time. In addition to his adjustments, he also recommended yoga in combination with regular adjustments to help with my problem, and I must say, I am convinced! My pain level has improved greatly, and I’m much looser than before!
The office location is nice, and street parking is easy. They have so many magazines in the waiting room, but I could never read any because I never had to wait very long.

If you want a doctor who cares about you and gets to know you, Dr. Tran is your guy. From the first time we met I felt like I was in good hands. He is always asking me if I have any questions because he wants to make sure his patients understand their care. And, he looks at the whole picture — I came in for low back pain but we have also been addressing poor posture and knee pain, which can all overlap, so I truly appreciate that he looks beyond the symptom to locate the actual problem (s). Amazing, very kind, very prompt and organized — he’s never once made me late and has always tried (and succeeded!) to accommodate me: when I came in 40 minutes early he saw me right away, when I had to reschedule the day of he fit me in. Thank you Dr. Tran!

When I met Dr. Tran over a year and a half ago, I had been grinding my teeth at night for 6 months, and had daily jaw, neck, and shoulder pain resulting from it. I was frustrated by the dentists recommendation for a custom mouth guard, and realized that would be a treatment of a symptom rather than the root cause of the issue.
Dr. Tran helped to re-​align my jaw, loosen muscle tension, teach me practices to implement at home, and also talked with me about stress, life events, being too busy, and the value of slowing down and creating time for ourselves in this busy world within which we exist.
I have never met or seen a doctor who cared so much about all aspects of his patient’s life– and would never respond with «that’s not my domain».
Dr. Tran listens, responds, explains things clearly and simply, and respects the patients choices and perspectives about their own health journey.
His practice is a true integration of body-​mind-​spirit care, and he embodies this philosophy in his own life, evident to any who interact with him.
The office is quiet and peaceful, and a haven from the world.
I could not recommend Community Chiropractic and Dr. Tran more sincerely.
