Access Chiropractic - James C. OConnell, DC

01/28/2007 Posted by guenivere

I started going to Dr. O’Connell to relieve chronic hip and lower back tension and discomfort. After 4 or 5 sessions I felt a dramatic change for the better. In addition to feeling better physically, I also feel more balanced emotionally and less stressed. I found Dr. O’Connell to be a patient, compassionate, and thorough professional. I have never felt rushed through an adjustment. Dr. O’Connell was referred to me by a co-worker. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer him to a friend, co-worker or relative.

Pros: Thorough, Professional,

Cons: parking can be a headache, take the 1 California or 22 Fillmore

I have always done a lot of sports, but last year I started training to run a marathon and got a bad pain in my foot after running my first 18 miles ever. The diagnostic: plantar fasciitis (inflammation of the tissue (fascia) connecting your heel bone to the base of your toes) The "cure": 5 sessions with James (over two weeks), where he worked the base of my foot... and I was able to resume my training with NO pain at all AND finished my first marathon ever 5 weeks later! Fantastic!! After the marathon I went back to my routine of playing squash... but got too enthusiastic and played 5 days in a row (for 2 hours)... and on the fifth day I felt a bad pull in my knee. I rested for 2 weeks praying that it wasn't the ligament (which typically means going under the knife) and then resumed activity feeling the bad pain again. Two weeks later I went to see James again, and with ONE session he has fixed me up! He assured me that it was the tendon that was "tight" and then he adjusted my column and hips, which apparently were pulling on the tendon, and I have been fine since. I would Highly Recommend James. Not only is he a great healer, but he is an excellent person, with wonderfully gentle demeanor and he genuinely cares about you.

Pros: Real healing. Friendly. Parking should be easy, except peak hours.

Cons: Center of the city isn't that quick to access if coming from South Bay

Dr. James O'Connell is a true HEALER! He is very experienced, has a great "table-side" manner and can really "rock your world" with chiropractic! His adjustments are deep and precise. Parking by his office is easy too! Bonus - He's got great music playing in his office.

After living with neck pain for 15 years, I am now after a couple months of treatment completely pain free. I can actually turn my head freely and don't spend the whole day stretching and trying to work the pain out. I recommend anyone living with chronic pain try Dr. O'Connell for long term relief.

Pros: Centrally located

Cons: Depending on time of day parking can be issue

I have been to many chiropractors and Dr. O'Connell is one of the rare few that actually takes his time with his patients. You never feel rushed out of his office and he genuinely cares about his patients. I went in for jaw and low back pain and have felt great ever since. A great healer!

A series of treatments with Dr. O'Connell helped relieve debilitating neck and shoulder pain where medication and physical therapy were lacking. His treatments have given me back my life.

Dr. O'Connell and Victoria at the front desk are warm, friendly, and accomodating. Under Access' chiropractic care there has been a total turn-around in the way I feel. I have gone from lying on the floor blubbering from the pain in my back to being my spry and happy self again. I highly recommend them!

Dr. O'Connell provides truly outstanding care! He is very accomodating in his scheduling and has a convenient, easy to get to location. He has the ability to be flexible to focus on specific problem and adjusts his recommendations to what suits you best. I would (and frequently do) highly recommend him to anyone seeking high quality chiropractic care.

Pros: Outstanding attention, Friendly

Dr. O'Connor truly has a magic touch. I have gone into see him feeling like one big knot left a new person. I recommend him to my family and friends, and many have become regular patrons. Friendly and anduring, I can't recommend him highly enough.

Pros: Professional, experienced, friendly
