Katona Chiropractic — Local services in Castro Valley

This five-star review for Katona Chiropractic is 30 years overdue. When I was in my early 40’s, I tweaked my neck doing some heavy lifting and I couldn’t turn my head because of the pain and stiffness. This condition continued over several weeks, so instead of taking pills, I decided to see a chiropractor for the first time. I saw three chiropractors without satisfaction before I was treated by Dr. Katona, who fixed me up after two weeks. But what really convinced me to continue with Dr. Katona was that he also found and treated a persistent, low-level sore spot that I had in my middle back without my ever mentioning it. Since then, Dr. Katona has treated me over the years for physical injuries, the usual “overdoing it” in life, and the “tune up” adjustments every two months that keep me straight and limber as I age. I should mention that my wife is also a patient of Dr. Katona who was successfully treated for her acid-reflux due to a hiatal hernia. My wife was treated by medical doctors over a period of three years, who mostly prescribed antacids for her worsening condition. She learned that chiropractic care might be able to help her, so she went to Dr. Katona who after a few adjustments, “cured” her. I don’t know if it will be the same for everyone with acid-reflux, but I do not exaggerate when I say it was a miracle treatment for my wife. To close, at my age of 71, I am grateful to Dr. Katona and feel fortunate to have him as my family...

Truly have been through a lot. I’m 37 years old and have been dealing with a herniated disc at C6 and C7 level for 4 years. Tried everything under the sun. Including epidural injection one time. Many years of weight lifting and snowboarding beating my body up etc. MANY Ups and downs with this pain and discomfort. I was referred to Dr. Katona through a business associate. This associate of mine is the most meticulous person possibly on the planet so I knew this should be a Solid referral. It certainly was.! Bit by bit after about 2-3 months of manual adjustments by Dr. Katona I am now feeling about 85-90% which is AMAZING.! I can’t tell you how amazing. Literally have a life again. When your main focus everyday is the pain or discomfort you are in you need to seek help. Really glad I met him because finding a “GOOD” Chiro can be tough and it is so important you have the right person doing this. I will continue to see Dr Katona for maintenance etc but out of all the things I have tried this was the most help by getting to the root of the problem and relieving my compressed nerve pain along with straightening out other problems I did not even realize were going onz Priceless. Now I can go have fun being a...

I am a very active person and have been seeing Dr. Robert Katona, DC for about 15 years for various work out injuries, falls from heights on to my head and neck and multiple car accidents. He is my primary care provider and I go to him first before going the medical route. He has treated me on weekends and after hours and he truly cares for his patients. I am a chiropractor myself and I usually find myself in his waiting room talking to another chiropractor who is there getting care. I believe he cares for approximately 40 other chiropractors in the area. I cannot recommend him...
