Meena Pal,DC

We (my husband and I) visited Dr Meena pal a couple of times… her bedside manner is nice very warm and welcoming. But the 2 things we were not so happy with was a) no manual adjustments only with the activator which honestly doesn’t do any good. I can say that based on 6yrs of seeing varied chiropractors. B) we felt that we were unduly charged $ 200 + for our first visit which was odd considering we had insurance coverage. Now that we have moved to Danville i have seen that noone really charges that kind of amount for their first visit. So please research ur options well.

Dr. Meena Pal has been a lifesaver in the late stages of my pregnancy. Seriously, I don’t know what I would do without her! She is gentle, effective, and truly cares about her patients.
I first got in touch with Dr. Meena Pal after a few weeks of increasing pain and discomfort in my hips and sacrum, in the hopes that chiropractic work would help. I specifically sought out Dr. Meena because she a) has experience treating pregnant ladies, b) takes insurance, and c) uses an activator (i.e., not the crack and crunch method). When I called the office, her receptionist Sirosh was very courteous and prompt, and I was able to book an appointment right away.
I noticed some immediate relief after the first session, but it was really after a couple weeks of treatment that I really noticed the difference. I no longer have any hip and sacrum pain, and I actually noticed that I am sleeping much better. Seriously — before, at the end of the day I would be hobbling around, dreading a long night of flipping from one sore side to the other. Now it is SO much better. In fact, my husband and I just went on an hour-​plus hike at the Claremont Firetrail yesterday, and I feel fantastic today — something I’m convinced wouldn’t otherwise be possible at 38 weeks pregnant!
I would highly recommend Dr. Meena Pal to anyone experiencing chronic discomfort or pain, even if it’s something you’ve been dealing with a long time.
She has an attention to detail that really pinpoints any issues going on, and she explores many different aspects of your lifestyle and habits (from what shoes you wear to how you sit at your computer, to how you manage stress) in order to find strategies that will bring you the most comfort and relief. She is so knowledgeable and easy to talk to, it is truly a joy going to her office!

Dr Meena Pal is awesome!
She is very gentle and gives each patient personal one on one attention. She uses a variety of techniques depending on your symptoms… its like having a family member who is your care provider!
She worked with me all through my pregnancy to keep me in balance and walking more than waddling too!

I don’t ever post on Unilocal,but I thought it was important to encourage those suffering from back pain to see Dr. Meena Pal to address their issues. Meena and I took the smarter sustainable route and it’s paid off significantly. I’ve taken her advice during my day to day activities (or lack thereof) and feel so much better than ever — and I’ve had my share of back problems in the past. Thanks Meena for your advice and care!

Five stars is hardly enough for Meena Pal, DC, she is absolutely awesome. She is extremly knowledgeable about chiropractic care. My area’s of concern are always taken care of. She is very gentle. I especially love the massage I get around my temples to help with my headaches & my adjustment tops it off. I’ve recently needed to be seen on a emergency appt. Due to bad back pain, the wonderful receptionist fit me right in, Dr. Pal worked her «magic» and i left with NO PAIN!!! At every appt. I’m giving great care, best advice and we share laughs everytime. I always leave feeling like I had a fun, relaxing spa day with a good friend. Bottom line if your looking for GREAT chiropractic care I suggest you make a call to her ASAP.

I am in total agreement with all the other reviewers of Dr. Pal’s excellent chiropractic service. I first saw her about 5 years when I had a terrible neck pain, which resulted from sleeping incorrectly. 8 or so treatments later, I was well enough recovered that I didn’t need to go any more. This is another plus about Dr. Pal, she knows when you are «ready» to cease treatments. I also like that she favors a non-​pharmaceutical approach to healing, to letting the body work to heal itself, along with her chiropractic wizardry (well, it seems like that sometimes, in a good way.) She is a careful listener, a rare art these days among healing practitioners of all stripes. Right now she is helping to realign my jaw, and, slowly, but surely, I feel that I am on the road to recovery. And that’s another thing to bear in mind about this type of approach: be patient! Things do not happen over night! Her office is peaceful and calm, and with the icing, the activator (referenced by Apple W.), some gentle massage, I always leave her office feeling well cared for and that things are getting better. I highly recommend Dr. Pal!

I have been lucky enough to have Meena Pal, DC as my chiropractor since about 2006. She is incredibly gentle and uses an activator (small manual device that applies localized pressure) so there is no bending and twisting and popping and cracking during her adjustments. She is especially talented in managing TMJ issues. She would be a fabulous DC for children as well.
Her office is family run which I appreciate and she accepts most insurances including Kaiser and SHIP through UC Berkeley. I have referred students, kids, men who don’t like to admit when they are in pain, and others and everyone comes back with glowing reviews. Meena is pretty marvelous, and also extremely affordable, even if you do not have insurance coverage.

Dr. Pal is gentle, knowledgeable and extremely professional. She listened and was patient with all my questions. I ride my bike and am a hairdresser, so I’ve got doozies of misalignments. I see her about every other month or so. I don’t feel the need to go more than that. I don’t know if her approach has anything to do with it, but whatever it is, it works! I love having Dr. Meena take care of me along with the others I have mentioned in my reviews. When I leave her office, I feel relaxed, refreshed and aligned!

Okay, I must admit that I was a liiittle bit skeptical about the whole chiropractic thing, but Dr Pal vwas highly recommended, and my neck hurt, so whats the worst that could happen, right? So I went to see her and she was so nice! And she used this clicky thing and … WOW what a difference.

I met Dr Meena Pal about a year ago and started care with her to help me with general aches and pains caused primarily by stress and the physicality of my profession. Meena is very professional, kind, warm and a very good listener. Her assessment is thorough and her treatments are gentle and effective. I very much like that she does her work one-​on-​one rather than in a group setting: she is focused only on me and what she can do to make me feel better. I love her heat treatments that she applies to my neck before she does any adjustments. Meena’s touch is gentle and respectful. I also really appreciate that she shows me very effective stretches for the areas I need to work on.
Her office is nice and quiet, her receptionist is very very kind and professional. I have not had to wait for more than a couple minutes if at all to be seen by Meena.
I truly and wholeheartedly recommend Dr Meena Pal! Thank you, Meena, for taking such good care of me.

Dr. Meena Pal provides wonderful chiropractic services and advice in the East Bay. I have been to her for help with chronic neck and back pain and I find her manner both gentle and reassuring and she is very professional. She also has a great sense of humor and is very kind too.
She does a combination of back adjustment in a gentle way and ultrasound massage which is very healing and brings immediate relief to inflamed and tense muscle and nerve areas. When I have a flare up of my issue, I go to see her for intensive treatments and then I see her for more routine adjustments on a monthly basis for prevention.
I have also found that she gives good advice on posture, work habits and provides tips on how I can change my life so as not to have these problems in the future.
They will also help you figure out the insurance thing and if your treatment is covered. They walk you through the maze that is coverage in the USA. Bonus that. If you can get your treatment covered, you surely will.
I highly recommend her. Her office staff is very polite and professional!
