| "Janet Kniveton has been my chiropractor as needed for over 20 years. She is unusual among chiropractors in that she allots enough time so that she can do some muscle release/trigger point work before the actual adjustment. By making sure tight muscles are released first, she is able to make adjustments that are more effective and lasting. In addition, she always treats the whole body, looking for the overall pattern that is creating the imbalance first before honing in on the specific problem. The trigger point system she works with also addresses internal energetic issues, so that after seeing her, I feel like I've had a bodywork plus acupressure plus chiropractic session all in one! I particularly appreciate that she always gives me a chance to walk around after a treatment and report back to her how I'm feeling: it's one thing to feel okay lying on the table after a treatment, it's quite another to get up and see how the spine and joints are doing with gravity and movement. All in all, I find her extremely competent, effective, gentle, and compassionate in her approach."
J.L., Kensington * * * * * * * * * * "Janet has been an enormous help as I've dealt with arthritis in my hands, neck, and back and occasional acute injury or flare-up. She is thoughtful and thorough in her exams. I always walk out feeling so much better after a treatment, and bring home with me things that I can do to help maintain the benefits of her treatments. Janet is respectful, understanding, kind, and supportive of me as a patient and as a person."
J.T., Oakland * * * * * * * * * * "I have been a patient of Dr. Kniveton's for over ten years. During that time, she has treated me expertly for acute and once debilitating lower back spasms, enabling me to get back on my feet quickly each time. She has recommended nutritional supplements and exercises and taught me to be more aware of my body. This has significantly reduced the frequency, intensity and duration of the spasm incidents, and made me fitter overall. During allergy season, her gentle facial manipulations have cleared congestion, eliminated headaches and improved my breathing. She asks lots of questions, listens carefully and takes a measured, holistic approach. Sessions are relaxed and never rushed. Dr. Kniveton has my absolute trust and confidence."

J.P., Alamo * * * * * * * * * * "I have been a patient of Janet Kniveton for over 15 years. She consistently provides expert chiropractic care and very helpful information as she helps me try to offset the chronic muscle problems that I have due to fibromyalgia. Janet is patient and thorough in every visit. She works on all areas of the body-not only one or two areas that are particularly painful-because she treats muscles in the body as an integrated system that needs broad attention. When I was recovering from a broken wrist about a year ago, Janet provided extra therapy for my wrist, hand and arm in my sessions with her. Without her dedicated work and the exercises she recommended, I would not have been able to recover to the point of having very close to full range of motion and full strength in my wrist, hand and arm. I have recommended that a number of my family members and friends seek care with Janet when they have had acute and chronic muscle problems or injuries. I know that I would have a great deal of pain and severely limited mobility without Janet's chiropractic work. I am deeply grateful for the intelligent and professional care that she provides to me every single visit."
