Richard E Hingel, DC

After suffering for weeks of debilitating and draining lower back pain, and a real pain in the neck, I had my first and only chiropractic treatment from Dr Hingel. He immediately developed a strong patient doctor working relationship, by freely communicating and working with me on several levels:
Muscular (Massage)
Nutrition (diet and supplements)
Exercise (ailment specific)
Skeletal (Easy pleasant adjustments)
Posture (Head position)
From the very first visit I experienced immediate significant relief and in less than five visits, I’m experiencing complete recovery with full (vastly improved) range of motion to where it is no longer painful, just to get in and out of the car.
Thanks, Dr Hingel!

I highly recommend Richard Hengel. He is a chiropractor commeted to his work. I like the fact that he looks at your body for patterns. He combines a chiropractic style adjustment with stretching and deep tissue work. He always creates a exercise just for my problem so that the correction continues to evolve between visits. Sometimes we will get into a yoga posture and adapt it for me. Sometimes its just one week and im feeling good.

Richard is not your typical chiropractor. Don’t think «smack, crack, keep comin’ back». Richard is a true healer. He commits time, focus, energy and care to treat you and only you for an hour typically. He uses an extensive tool set of techniques and practices which he has trained in to stop your pain, usually the same day on the first visit when I have seen him (though I know of a few friends I have sent that had to go a few times for bigger problems). And then he does something truly unique to this profession in my experience. He gives you an exercise to do to make sure that you don’t have to come back for this problem ever again. Wait until a different musculo-​skeletal problem comes up and challenge him to something new.
I have referred many people to him and every one of them has been both healed and amazed.
Historically Richard was in San Francisco a few days a week and here in Oakland a few days a week. I haven’t seen him for a little while because I have not had a new problem and my old ones do not come back after I get my exercises, but I am sure he is still doing the same. San Francisco number is (415) 346‑7776. Worth the drive either direction if he has a last second cancellation or opening and you are in pain.
