Functional Health Specialists

Angela Abbey has magical hands! Absolutley 5 star experience. I have never had such an awesome massage. Thank you!

Job is amazing at what he does. His knowledge of which major muscles to incorporate to obtain optimal utilization of the body is great. Being a crossfitter, he was superb at hitting and adjusting all the kinks that needed to be worked out and the best part was that he knew was he was talking about because he is one too.
I also saw job throughout my pregnancy and we navigated that road together as I was his first client to seek care throughout this time. He was fabulous at doing research on his own time to see what would benefit me and I applaud him for that.
I also brought my 48 hour old newborn to him to be adjusted after birth. We had a
Home birth so it was not traumatizing but she did come out at an angle that is not the best but he was able to help her through this precious time in her life. My daughter also showed signs of hip dysplasia which we were able to combat with excellent care from job.
My two year old loves using him also, he any wait for «his turn» when we go see job as a family. If you are looking for QUALITY care from someone who truly CARES, look no further, you have found your dr.

Job is very professional and a natural born doctor! I’ve seen him twice now for spinal readjustment and knee pain issue and he has helped me both superbly in regard to both!

So my husband was seeing a chiropractor for some time before he suggested I should see him. I was skeptical only because I have never had back issues, but went just the same. Wow, that was over a year ago & I am still seeing him for health maintenance. Yep I am a believer for sure. If the spine isn’t aligned then all kinds of health conditions manifest. Dr. Job has worked on my hips, neck, shoulders, you name it. I walk, sit, stand, run differently because of his continuous manipulations. Dr. Job collaborates with you to bring forth better health. He is a rare find in the for-​profit medicine we have going on today. I can guarantee you will feel better when you work with him.

Dr. Asad is my first experience with chiro care. I now wonder what took me so long to see him. After one adjustment my back discomfort is virtually gone, and his support to improve and fix my chronic back and knee pain is encouraging!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Asad for almost a year now. I first went to him with pretty severe low back pain. He set me up with an awesome program, starting off with 2 visits/​week for 3 weeks. The dropping it down to 1 visit/​week for 3 weeks. He is an extremely knowledgable guy and has introduced me to an entirely different world of functionality and how the body should move. He doesn’t focus so much on «cracking», but rather how your body is working as a whole. Everything is connected. He taught me proper foam rolling techniques to do on my own which are extremely helpful. If you want to get the most out of your visits, take the time to do as much of what he tells you do as possible! It will make a tremendous difference. After 6 – 8 weeks of seeing Dr. Asad, my back pain had completely subsided. Almost a year later, I still see him once a month or so to keep everything in check.
I am a certified personal trainer and I have referred a number of my clients to him. All of which have seen incredible results. Whether you’re experience acute joint/​muscle pain anywhere in your body, or just want to move and feel better, Job Asad can without a doubt get you to where you want to be!

Thanks to Dr. Asad I am not dealing with pain ²⁴⁄₇. I can now go grocery shopping, sit down, and work without feeling pain all the time. I’ve only been seeing him for a short few months now, but I’m truly grateful that my co-​worker recommended me to him.
Friendly, sympathetic, and always ready to get down to the issue. He’s even given me an exercise routine that will help me towards better functionality. Of course it’s my fault I haven’t been doing them all the time. If I did then I’d probably be good as new! I still get some tightness but that’s my fault.
So thank you tons, Dr. Asad! I’ll see you in a few weeks ;)

Thanks Dr. Asad for once again finding the cause of my pain and giving me the information I need to correct the imbalance. Oh, and great adjustments too. You are the best.

I have a previous back injury and an extremely physical job as a
Catering Manager. I was having a rough couple of months; feeling awful, lots of appointments with doctors… then I had a doctor diagnose me with muscle pain. I had a massage the day after and was referred to Dr. Asad. He’s helpful, gentle, informative, he LISTENS and is prompt with feedback. A month and a half later and I am feeling fantastic! I told Dr. Job I feel like myself again! Great brain + magic hands = killer combo! Thanks Dr. Asad! You’re the best!

Let me start with I was very apprehensive to see a chiropractor. I was hiking with my pups and knocked over by a 100 lb dog and landed on my back. After a few months with acupuncture treatments and massages I was mostly recovered but still had alittle back hiccup. I was told that a chiropractor could help so I decided to give it a try. Dr Asad put me at ease immediately, treated me and he gave me exercises that I could do on my own to speed up the recovery process. It is now 8 months since my accident I am fully recovered. I am so thankful for Dr Asad’s professionalism, ability, and help me understand what was going on…

I’ve been seeing Dr. Asad for just a few weeks now, but I already feel so much better! I have seen several chiropractors in the past, and never learned why I had the same reoccurring issues and pain.
Dr. Asad is very knowledgeable and is always willing answer any and every question you have– I don’t leave his office feeling like I was rushed. He uses the «if you teach a man to fish» method which is awesome because he’s taught me how I can take care of myself outside of the office.
Dr. Asad is extremely reasonable and has made it easier for me to make chiropractor care a priority for me and my active lifestyle. I highly recommend him and appreciate all that he’s done for me. Thanks Dr. Asad :)

Dr. Asad is very knowledgable and professional. I was fortunate that he was able to make time for me at the last minute when I had a bit of an emergency. He was able to make me comfortable and figure out the root cause. I’ll definitely return for regular maintenance. I highly recommend Dr. Asad.

Dr. Asad has helped me more than I can put into words here. I have had paralyzing neck and back pain, and he has not only helped me during the acute phase, but has given me exercises and at-​home therapies that have truly helped me cope with my daily pain issues. In fact, he offered suggestions for simple exercises that I can do while I am in my car that have changed my life! His services and advice has always been very effective with long-​lasting results. In addition, he is passionate about what he does, a super nice guy, and definitely goes the extra mile to make sure his patients are receiving what they need. I would suggest Dr. Asad and Functional Health Specialists to anyone. I have seen him at both locations — Walnut Creek and at Crossfit Adventure. Both facilities are easy to get to with plenty of parking.

I have always been a little hesitant when it comes to chiropractors, it’s the sound of the cracking in my neck and head that keeps me away. But Dr. Asad is great and won’t manually manipulate if it’s not necessary.
I have fibromyalgia AND I hurt my ankle severely last year. After many PT sessions and trips to the orthopedic surgeon nobody could tell me what was going on with my ankle. Dr. Asad figured it out in the first session that I have severe scar tissue. I wasn’t able to wear socks let alone shoes when I met him but within no time he got me up and walking again. Now, 4 months later I am able to cycle to the pool, go for a 30 minute swim afterwards and come home to walk the dog for 40 minutes.
He is simply awesome! Even if you wonder what a chiropractor can do for you and your health, make an appointment, you might be amazed. I sure was and still am!

I was fortunate to find Dr. Asad in the spring of 2012. He has an amazing ability to assess what the root cause of any imbalance I am experiencing and not only make the appropriate adjustments but educate me as to how I can help myself. I want to be an active participant in my own health and really appreciate his willingness to take the time to recommend stretches, exercises etc. that will help my body to straighten up!
Thank you Dr. Asad for 2 years of great help and advice. You are the best!

I had a bulging disc in my neck and my doctor prescribed pain-​killers and told me I had to live with it.
I went to Dr. Asad and he proved different. Now I have nearly full mobility and I’m mostly pain-​free.
He takes the time to explain what is going on, then prescribes a follow-​up course of action. For me, he said I should have noticeably more mobility and less pain within one month; I actually came in ahead of schedule. And best of all, no pain-​killers needed.

Chiropractor appointment with Dr. Asad!
I am so excited that I started seeing Dr. Asad, he is amazing! Not only is he incredibly down to earth, but he knows he stuff. I feel very comfortable there and I can tell he really loves his job. He has a monthly plan that is affordable… which I recommend. He has two locations one in Walnut Creek and one in Concord. He is pretty accommodating and works with you to find a time that fits your schedule.
If you are in the market for an excellent Chiropractor then he is your guy!

Dr. Asad is the BEST Chiropractor I have ever been to. I see him regularly and since I started I feel so much better! He really knows his stuff and is helping me tremendously. Plus, he is a super cool guy with a great personality.
I run and do boot camp so it is extremely important that I take care of my body. Whenever I have pain in a certain area, Dr. Asad helps me figure out the source and shows me what I can do at home to help. He also shows me foam rolling techniques I can do at home to recover faster and prevent injury. I would highly recommend him! You have to go see him!

I had waited to write a review because I really wanted to give a comprehensive one. I had been having severe neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain from a couple of accidents, and God know what else throughout my life.
Background: I work out a lot., from yoga, to weights, to crossfit to dance, etc. Being generally abusive to my body, add a couple of auto accidents, staying up late a whole lot. Add doctor visits (here, take these pain pills) + physical therapy (here, do these exercises) and voila — here I am.
One important thing to note is that chiro isn’t a one-​time adjust and fix all kinda thing. You took your whole life to sit and stand and move the way you do, so if you did something wrong in that process (living with pain, bad posture, sleeping weird, who knows) it might take more than one chiropractic appointment to fix them.
What surprised me and I appreciate immensely is that this team has such a wealth of information on how to help you live better. Their name truly does suit them. Advice from pillows, to beds, to exercise, food, stretching, it’s hard to list them all.
I’ve never had trouble getting an appointment. There is a massage therapist who also works wonders in their offices. I’ve never felt uncomfortable, and my neck and back, hips, knees, are all better because of the care from these chiropractors.
Really, the care is very comprehensive. I have asked lots of questions, and have always been met with prompt responses, patience, care, wealth of information and amazing work ethic. Yea, this is definitely the kind of review I love to write.

I have seen several chiropractors over the past few years, and Dr. Job (as my 6-​yr-​old refers to him), is extremely thorough, attentive to your needs and has a calming nature about him.
I have had past injuries related to sports and car incidences, so dealing with various ailments has been a constant battle for the majority of my life. I felt as if I was checking off a laundry list from the health history form with all the pain that I’ve had to deal with in my past (ankle sprains-​knee-​injuries-​right rhomboid tingling: years of playing volleyball; running: didn’t help my toes-​knees; and of course the few car accidents: cervical spine felt stiff at the time but never addressed it post crashes… just to name a few).
So, when I first visited Dr. Job, I added onto the above list with a few of my newer issues: a clicking in my left hip flexor and both elbows having severe pain. As we began treatment, I was finishing up physical therapy which produced little, if any, relief for my arms. All the while, Dr. Job was always assessing and adjusting my hips. Over the course of a few weeks, pain in my arms was essentially gone and I completely forgot I was having hip issues from our initial meeting. I had not been focusing on my hips because I was generally feeling relief all over and not dwelling on my ailments. I was maintaining my normal workout routine (as a CrossFitter) and not giving much thought to my hips.
I highly recommend his services because he provides quality exams, thorough explanations of your tailored care plan and delivers results. He is a very genuine, humbling and considerate chiropractor. Well worth your time!
