I received great chiropractor care. Dr Pollack makes you feel better in just one session. If you are directionally challenged like me, he is located next to the traders Joes on the second floor, just take the elevator up.

I highly recommend Dr. Pollack for all types of chiropractic needs! I have received chiropractic care on and off for decades, and I have lived in many places and have seen many chiropractors. I appreciate how Dr. Pollack tailors each visit to me and what is going on currently with my body. He clearly is an expert in a diversity of treatment types and styles and practices, and I really appreciate that. Currently, his COVID practices make me feel comfortable visiting during this time. He communicates very thoroughly and is funny and smart and caring. He has given me tips for strengthening certain areas of my body and other advice as well. The last time I went to see him was about 6 days after I had majorly pulled out my lower back. He spent a long time with me and utilized a variety of treatments. Within 24-48 hours I felt an incredible amount of improvement. If I was a 3/10 when I arrived in his office (with 10 being back to normal health/no pain), I was an 8/10 within 48 hours! I am so grateful that he is just ten minutes away from where I live. And he takes my insurance, and I do not have to file the claim myself! Check him out!

Dr. Josh is super warm and friendly. He embodies his knowledge of physiology and knows how to help people release tension and stress in their bodies through chiropractic. His adjustments are precise and gentle. What a gem!

Dr. Pollock is the best. Very friendly and personable. He knows his stuff. I went in with numbness in my arm and had a pinched nerve or something but he helped my body reset itself and the pain and tingling has gone away. Highly recommended. Tell him I sent you.

Dr. Joshua is one of the kindest, most empathetic people, let alone healthcare providers, that I have ever met. His practice is accessible, comfortable, and efficient. My needs were met, and a treatment plan was devised to suit my schedule. No hard sell, just great treatment and good vibes.

I had my ankles adjusted today. Who does that? Joshua is the most thorough all-body chiropractor Ive ever been to. Theres very little voodoo and plenty of good vibes. Id definitely recommend this man-of-many-means to anyone who needs their back tweaked.

Great reception and environment. Dr Pollack is honest and awesome. I felt a huge difference after adjusting my spine and cracking my back. As a first timer at his clinic; I would totally recommend him for friends and family, big difference, no doubt...

Dr. Pollack is a miracle worker. Ive had chronic daily migraines since I was 19 years old, I will be 47 next week. Since Ive been a patient of Dr. Pollacks, I have been migraine free since June 12th- today I am 25 days pain free. That is unheard of, I suffered everyday and I tried everything under the sun from acupuncture to botox, every migraine medicine out there, quit all triggers; wine, beer and caffeine, changed my diet and exercised and I still suffered until I started treatment at Joshua Tree. Dr. Pollack adjusts my pain away and taught me face scraping/massage (Gua Sha). I highly recommend Joshua Tree Chiropractic. That is where I found the cure for my debilitating, incurable chronic migraines. I didnt think there was a cure, and I was about to give up all hope, but luckily I walked into Dr. Pollacks office. I get to live pain free now. I never thought that was possible.

Ive had sitting pain in my lower back due to my commute and the nature of my work for awhile now. Dr. Pollack not only offered me relief in this area, but also advice on how to maintain strength in my back to avoid future pain. In 3 visits to Dr. Pollack, the sitting pain I experienced for so long virtually disappeared. I feel more fluid and loose, and also feel informed on how to adapt my lifestyle to avoid future injury.Dr. Pollack is the real deal, nice and easygoing person, very informative. I highly recommend!

I always have a positive experience at Joshua Tree Chiropractic. Dr. Joshua Pollack is a very skilled, knowledgeable, competent and caring chiropractor. Not only does he do careful and thorough adjusting work to address my individual health needs, he also offers excellent self-care tips to maintain and improve health between sessions. This, plus his pleasant and humorous demeanor, tells me that he genuinely cares about his patients and their well-being. I am very glad that I discovered chiropractic care at the Joshua Tree.

Joshua was excellent. When I went here he was so tentative to my needs. Very hands on. He took his time with adjusting my back and giving me step by step details of what it was he was doing ,and the affect it would have.

Dr. Pollack is a Chiropractor who is dedicated to your overall care and wellness. He provides a very high quality and extremely comprehensive care in a very tranquil environment. Dr. Pollack literally got me back up and running after an auto accident in a little over a month. I highly recommend Dr. Pollack.

Dr. Pollack at Joshua Tree Chiropractic is one of the best Chiropractors I have ever worked with. He is very knowledgeable, kind and compassionate. But the best is his sense of humor. Nothing is better then laughing through your pain. I always feel better mentally and physically after leaving his clinic. Cant wait every week until Saturday when I get my adjustment from Dr. Pollack.

Dr. Josh is a wonderful practitioner. He always greets me with a smile and a hug. After he asks about and listens to how Im feeling, he goes to work. Over the last few months, he has helped me tremendously with neck and back pain. Dr. Joshs practice provides whole lot of holistic chiropractic. He offers suggestions to improve your mind and body in your everyday life. A big bonus is his sense of humor. Laughter is good medicine.

I am not sure how the previous reviewers got an appointment because the process seems incredibly disjointed and delayed. I called the office as soon as they opened about become a new patient. The person on the phone took my name, phone number and insurance information and I was told I would be called back to schedule an appointment. That was over 6 hours ago and I am still awaiting a call back. In that time I found another chiropractor, made and appointment and have been seen.It seems like a much more long and cumbersome process than I have previously encountered making any appointment. Everyone else seems to like the office, and maybe they have enough patients so they do not make new patients a priority. If you are looking for somwhere new I suggest plenty of the other practitioners in the area. It is a much seamless and efficient process.

Review №28

There are a few things I don’t normally do: one thing I don’t normally do is write reviews, and another is go to see a chiropractor without a reference or referral from a trusted friend or health professional.I am in my mid-40’s, keep myself in pretty good shape, and do my best to stay active. My history of accidents includes being hit by a car while on foot and two car accidents where the safety bags were deployed. The most severe injury sustained was a torn left SI joint capsule, causing the synovial fluid to drain and leave the joint without lubrication. For those unfamiliar, the SI joint is a the joint between the sacrum and the ilium, (the hip). I have suffered whiplash and other soft tissue injuries, all leaving my body in an intensely traumatic state. I see cranio-sacral therapists, massage therapists, chiropractors, spine manipulators, and many other manual therapy specialists in addition to stretching and exercising. All this is to keep from suffering chronic pain.Recently I have relocated to the Bay Area, from Florida. The relocation process, my financial situation, and anxiety involved with my move were all sources of an intense amount of stress. The stress, coupled with the long drive, and the fact that I was not keeping up with my exercise routine for about a month, were creating a tremendous amount of back and structurally systemic aches and pains. Although I had asked friends for a chiropractor reference, I had not made the effort to be treated. Then came the morning I woke up and could not even take a breath without suffering a debilitating amount of pain. I could not even sneeze, the pain literally was in control of my thoracic, lumbar, and cervical spine, rib cage, clavicle and cranium. I had no choice but to quickly find a chiropractor, any chiropractor, the closest chiropractor!I did not even read reviews, I went to the closest open chiropractor’s office that I could find. Lucky for me that office was Joshua Tree Chiropractic. Doctor Joshua Pollack, Doc, turns out is a very intuitive manual therapist. He discovered many causes contributing to my pain, and was sensitive to the fact that I was physically incapable of accepting most commonly used adjustment techniques due to my acute state. With light touch, gentle adjustments and cold laser techniques, Doc was able to provide me some much needed relief.Doc offers package deals and is truly compassionate and sincere when it comes to treating his patients. His knowledge and skill are apparent in his touch, and he uses modern technology to find stress and inconsistencies in the cervical vertebrae and nervous system. Intuition is a trait that is extremely valuable, and often overlooked, in a health care professional. Because of his ability to effectively create results, even when the body physically resists treatment, is proof of his commitment to clients. He is pro-active and takes a whole body approach. I don’t know what outcome I might have suffered without his patience and wisdom.I can safely say, without hesitation, that Doc is the major reason I am pain free with an increased range of motion. Doc is approachable, down to earth and has a genuine devotion to his patients well-being. I am grateful that on the day I needed a spur of the moment appointment, that Doc was the only available choice. I hope this review helps you make the right choice, I know how hard it is in choosing the right professionals to trust with your health and well-being. I trust Doc, he is honorable and goes the extra mile to see his clients through to complete realistic health goals. He has your health interest in mind.
