Back In Shape Chiropractic

Slendrix works! Obviously cutting out carbs will help dramatically, but I’m not even tired or hungry!!! I eat the meals as directed and I’m drinking more water and my mom (biggest skeptic) is now going to try it! Jack will give you all the advice you need to get started. My filter water bottle is my best friend! I’m so happy! Once my back gets healed 100% from a muscle spasm, I can start working out and lifting like I use to. I was 150 lbs now I’m 137 lbs :) I’m excited!

I went to Dr. Anthony for some help after a bad car accident. He helped as much as he could. I ended up needing more massage therapy than adjustments. But he did as much as he could and was always very polite. In fact, he was very patient as I needed to wait for a settlement from my auto insurance for paying him. He was never pushy and always had a wonderful bedside manner. I would use him again.

Two treatments in and my back and I are loving Dr. Anthony! I can’t wait until my back is healthy again and the pain is gone. He’s not only knowledgable but extremely personable and that just adds to the overall experience.
I feel like a Cheshire Cat when I walk out of his office lol: D

Dr. Anthony is a great Chiropractor. He really knows what he is doing. His technique is superb. Any time my back is out I go to him. He really gets the job done. Definitely recommend him if your back is out. He will get you Back In Shape!!!

I didn’t feel the adjustment was good enough. Nothing bad. Just didn’t feel like it was done completely. I’ve been to enough chiropractors to know what it feels when it feels right.

Gosh, I feel like I went to a different office than everyone on here! I visited Dr. Anthony because of ongoing back issues. I have Kaiser insurance. He spent a considerable amount of time complaining about how little Kaiser reimburses him. He did do a thorough interview with me, but the adjustment was fast, and rough. I saw him two times after that; each time I walked out less than 10 minutes after I walked in. Rub rub, crack, pop, bye. After the third visit, my back started to hurt worse than before, and I decided not to come back. I guess the longer visit are for those folks who can pay out of pocket or have different insurance.

Dr. Anthony is a great chiropractor, very dedicated and passionate about his work! Very available, he will try to find a time in his schedule when you have an emergency.
He’s the best!
The location of his office in downtown San Mateo is very convenient. His office if super clean and friendly. Don’t hesitate to try!

Maria is the best!!! If you are in desperate need of some TLC go see Maria. She is truly a blessing.

Maria the massage therapist that works out of this office is WONDERFUL. She has a great energy & her massages are one of the best I’ve ever had. She’s reasonably priced & it’s worth every cent. Buy a package of massages from her today — you won’t be sorry!
Dr. Anthony is also great & super thourough.

I don’t have experience with other chiropractors, but Dr. Anthony is definitely a 5-​star practitioner! He’s extremely professional, accommodating, and personable. Within a couple of months, he helped me identify and correct some minor problems in my spine alignment. Now my back doesn’t hurt when I play golf! :) Thanks, Dr. Anthony!

I used to go to a chiropractor regularly when I lived in SoCal. Dr. Anthony is the only other doctor that I trust now with my back pains. He has the machine that I like… the ones that attach to your back and sends small waves of shocks through it… sounds painful, haha, but it really isnt. It’s a wierd feeling at first but it helps the muscles relax and prep you for the adjustments. Seriously, a chiropractic visit feels like you just got a massage… so relaxing!

Dr. Anthony is a really great guy. Found him off of Unilocal and he was everything people said he was. Right off the back he told me that after a few visits if it was not helping then there was no need to come back. That really says alot for me when a Dr. is not trying to keep you there unless you need to. I kept at it for about two months until I had little improvement although my sessions were very relaxing and provided short term relief. I will be making visits from time to time.

I found Dr. Anthony when looking for a massage therapist for my boyfriend. I have visited quite a few Chiropractors in the area and never really loved any of them… that is until I found Dr. Anthony. His office is easy to find, there is always parking and his hours are fantastic! I was very impressed the first day I saw him, I did not have to wait, he took the time to listen and talk with me. His bedside manor is fantastic. He also accepts my insurance!
This past Friday I woke up with the worst neck pain I have ever felt. I figured I slept wrong and it would get better. I was wrong. I called Dr Anthony and left a message for him Saturday morning. He called right back and was able to get me in for an adjustment that morning.
I can honestly say that I feel better every time I leave his office.
I would recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, professional chiropractor. He is just fantastic.

After ignoring back pain related to pregnancy and childbirth for 10 months, I woke up on a Saturday morning immobilized, found Dr. Anthony and despite already having a busy day, he worked me in and gave me instant relief. He listened to me describe the problem, did a quick assessment and knew exactly what I needed. In 30 minutes, my pain was significantly reduced and I will be happily returning for follow-​ups as I’m sure he will be able to return my back to its pre-​baby health. Dr. Anthony is a kind and thorough listener with a gift for healing and I’m glad I found him!

If there were another 20 stars up there, I would click them all. Dr. Anthony came to my rescue last week while I was on business travel in San Mateo. I was very skeptical of finding a doctor on the other side of the country, but he had so many positive reviews on Unilocal,I decided to call him.
I had a terrible, long, uncomfortable flight from DC to Cali, and lifted a very heavy suitcase in my hotel room, wrenching my back and causing severe pain and a headache. I went to him after two days of agony, and I felt much better after the first visit. I went back three days later, and flew home that day pain-​free.
Dr. Anthony is thorough, caring, gentle, and very professional. He saw me at my appointment time, and took his time to learn what was bothering me. He has exceptional bedside manner. I recommended him to a coworker who also injured his back, and he echoed my sentiments. This doctor is the best. I just wish I could convince him to move to Maryland!!!
Go see Dr. Anthony if you have back pain. He will help you. Tell him a grateful Marylander sent you. :o)

I’ve been going to Dr. Anthony’s for about 3 months. I hyper-​extended my back in jiu jitsu and hurt my shoulder from a combination of jiu jitsu and my labor-​heavy job After therapy, first from 3 times a week, gradually working down to once every other week, I can confirm that my lower back is in better shape than ever! My shoulder is still a work in progress, since it is a long-​time injury in such a complex area, but it is easily in a better way now than 3 months ago.
Dr. Anthony is super friendly and very personable, and he really wants you to get better. I’ve been to chiropractors that get you in and get you out before you know what’s going on, but that’s not the case with Dr. Anthony. He’ll take the time to talk to you and treat you the best he can, and I always feel that I’m getting the most from every visit. Highest recommendation!

Back In Shape is wonder place that offers natural therapy through Chiropractic, Massage, and Acupuncture. I am a big proponent of preventative health maintenance. I highly recommend Dr. Anthony he is professional and really fun to chat with, caring and really wants you to heal and be well. He is passionate about his work, and it shows. Weather you have chronic pain or a new injury Back In Shape’s combined treatment plan is very effective in alleviating pain and correcting problems throughout the whole body. They have a Holistic Herbalist /​Acupuncturist on site to help with pain management and preventive care. Conveniently located in Down Town San Mateo.

I sprained my lower back last year and thanks to fellow Unilocalers, I found Dr. Anthony. He fixed my back after a couple of visits and made sure my spine is aligned. Now that my back is fine, I go back and pay him a visit everytime I return to the bay (I recently moved down to Southern California) just to get my back aligned and everything straightened up.
Another amazing addition to this clinic is MARIA! She is the massage therapist at Dr. Anthony’s office and she just brings me to heaven everytime. Her room feels more like a spa than a clinic, and her skills is definitely at the clinical level! She doesn’t just stroke you here and there and you walk out as if nothing had happened. She really finds the kinks and the knots and try to work them out! I LOVE HER!
She charges $ 60 per hour. Dr. Anthony’s visits are $ 45, but I rememer the first visit+consultation costs a bit more.
Dr. Anthony and Maria = my lower back savior!!!

Dr. Anthony is a life savor. I would have never ever gone for a bone breaker… but Anthony is top flight. He fixed a problem I never knew I had. I took his advice and worked on the weak spots in my back. At first it was a once a week thing, now I go back every few months to get a small twist here or there.
Thanks Dr. Anthony — your a great man.

Maria = Goddess.
I felt like = a Princess.
I make fun of this dude whose answer to most things are «Supahfantastic» (e.g. how are you?) but that is how I felt after a deep tissue massage with MARIA. I was referred to her and highly recommend her to you!
I got really good vibes from the room too; and every terry cloth to touch my person was so soft and warm, I feel like asking her to redo my room the same. Her technique is undeniably top-​notch, and my experience was prolly enhanced by the fact that my body responded well to her touches ;) I felt bigger when I left, in all direction. And the best part about it is that the effects of the massage lasted for like 2 days. That’s never happened before. I can’t wait to see her again.
Other pluses of the area: close proximity to 101 and Caltrain (SM stop). Plenty of parking (esp later at night; prolly not during the day). La Cumbre, Pancho Villa, Peet’s, a donut shop, and Talbots are all within 3 – 5 blocks radius. Her hours are great for the working peeps. And reasonable at $ 65/​hr.
