Doyle Chiropractic has served the Oakland and Berkeley communities since 1987, located in the charming Temescal neighborhood of Oakland. Dr. Kathy Doyle specializes in NUCCA (National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association) chiropractic care — a gentle, precise technique that works at the base of the brain without any twisting of the head or neck. Patients find lasting relief from back pain, neck pain, sciatica, shoulder pain, wrist pain, knee pain, headaches, whiplash, disc problems, numbness and tingling. Many patients also report improvements in acid reflux and asthma symptoms as a bonus of chiropractic care. NUCCA adjustments hold longer than traditional chiropractic, meaning fewer visits and lasting results — often months or years between corrections.

Katy Robbins • May 29, 2026
I had hip and low back pain for 10 years. My hip joint would spasm without warning when walking, bending, or standing. I couldn't find a comfortable sleeping position and could not run, walk, ski, or dance. I tried massage, yoga, cortisone shots, physical therapy, and conventional chiropractic. Doyle Chiropractic gave excellent results — I'm thinking of starting Tango again and have been running a little with the dogs.
Matt • May 29, 2026
I had pretty severe back pain and stiffness, with a stiff neck and shoulders and sharp pain down both legs at night. My results have been pretty good — I feel like I'm 20 years old. I'm more body- and posture-aware, I feel like I'm standing tall, and my whole emotional well-being feels elevated. When I'm in adjustment I feel more connected to the world.
Carlos "Tito" Young • May 29, 2026
A week before my visit my Porsche was smacked hard from behind. I tried stretching, ice, ibuprofen, massage and weights. Now I do nothing but leave it to Dr. Doyle. My results have been so positive — the pain is next to gone and I'm holding my alignment. Before seeing Dr. Doyle I would dread playing with my doggy on the beach because him jumping into my arms was so painful. Now he jumps right in — and no pain.
Vanessa George • May 29, 2026
Backaches, headaches and uneven hips for maybe 25 years — progressively worse, with weekly headaches and constant Advil/Tylenol. I couldn't stand for long periods. My results have been fantastic! No more back pain, my hips are in alignment, I stand straighter, and I only get headaches under stress. Thank you Dr. Doyle, you are terrific!
