Report
For over a decade after a bad car accident I've tried literally every treatment I could find in an attempt to relieve the constant pain I experience daily. My constant symptoms are migraines, muscle spasms, high pain, fatigue, insomnia, etc. Since starting to see Dr Doyle at the advice of a friend, I have finally started to have relief of my symptoms. My migraines, muscle spasms, back regularly going out, muscle tightness, etc and almost ceased to occur. I highly recommend investing time and treatment with Dr Doyle.

Report
I am very grateful to have found Dr Doyle. For about a year I had been experiencing discomfort and pain throughout my body, particularly in my hips due to a misaligned vertebrae. It took just two gentle adjustments from Dr Doyle to stabilize my neck and bring me into alignment. I now have more energy, feel more balanced and my sleep has improved considerably. I highly recommend Doyle Chiropractic.

I had 7-8 years of debilitating migraines, roughly once a month, before discovering NUCCA. Dr. Doyle is very kind and effective and has continued to keep my neck in adjustments and migraine free, and is my clear recommendation to anyone who is suffering neck or head pain (and if you have a fear of pain -- these are the most comfortable adjustments I've had, and I've been to a lot of chiro's).

Dr. Doyle has been an integral part of my clinical health over the past years. It's extremely important for me to maintain my alignment. I appreciate her attention to my needs and my crazy work and sleep schedule. Her office staff Deanna is a gem. I'm blessed to have both of them. Her office is a wonderful part of Oakland's community. Her customers come from all over! We need her!
