Featured Testimonial

"When you find yourself injured and are looking for a chiropractor, you want a competent professional you can trust who can treat your injury using the safest, most effective methods possible. You want instant relief from the pain you are in and want to be educated as to why this happened so you can avoid a repeat in the future. In addition, you want someone that makes you feel cared for and valued as a patient; not just another doctor playing the numbers game.

You will find all of the aforementioned and then some with Dr. Doug Cancel. I have been patient of Dr. Cancel's for over 10 years after being unsuccessfully treated by other chiropractors in this area. Dr. Cancel has not only treated me for a myriad of symptoms over the years, but has educated me in highly-effective preventative practices as well. When you go into Dr. Cancel's office, rest assured that you will be receiving the highest level of care possible. Not only that, but he will exceed your expectations of what you get in a visit, guaranteed.

Dr. Cancel will take his time evaluating your intake sheet and then will do a further complete hands-on assessment to effectively measure the level of treatment needed. In addition to his thorough evaluation, he will take his time to explain the mechanics of your body in relation to the injury/imbalance. Each visit is like an anatomy/physiology lesson and I truly value that!

This is definitely not your average chiropractor. You will most definitely get more than a crack here and a crack there and then be sent on your way. You will leave his office more educated, feeling like a valued client and in my experience, with notably less physical discomfort than you walked in with. Hands down, the BEST chiropractor in Contra Costa County."
