Healing Hands Chiropractic

In 2005, I started to suffer from sudden unexplained dizziness and pain in my head, jaw, shoulders, neck and back. I sought relief from my primary care physician whom referred me to a ENT doctor. After getting no official diagnosis or relief I went on to see many different doctors from physical therapists, pain management doctors, massage therapy and even a couple chiropractors. I ended up back at my primary care physician who suggested it was psychological. However, the pain I was feeling was very real. This quest lasted 5 years with little to no relief. Until I met Dr. Howard.
He did an initial exam, X-​rays and an adjustment. He was the first doctor that didn’t act as if I was a medical mystery. He was able to clearly identify my diagnosis and treat it successfully. My condition improved dramatically within a few months which I was not even sure that was possible. Today, I live pain free and still visit Dr. Howard a few times a month for upkeep. Not to mention he was able to adjust me during both my pregnancies which kept me feeling great. He always fits me into his schedule and gets me in and out of the office quickly.
He truly is the BEST chiropractor and I encourage you to give him a try.

Dr. Howard is nothing short of amazing. I met him when I was 15 (15 years ago) and was in a car accident. He not only cared, but helped me learn about why I was aching in certain places. I had headaches often (3 – 4 times a week) even before the accident. I rarely got them anymore. I went often in the beginning but he let me know when I was able to reduce visits. I saw him through my whole pregnancy 3 years ago and swear I wouldn’t have made it without him. Childbirth is difficult for mother and baby and I continued to see him after and also brought my daughter when she was a week old. I started treatment again because I’ve been getting headaches. First day I walk in, I was going to tell him my shoulder was hurting, but I didn’t even have to. He looked at me and said you look off. He said my shoulders looked tight. Seriously! he’s a mind reader or he know his shit! pardon the language. But other than that, he is very personable. He remembers my mom from when I was younger, he asks how things are going and he makes great effort to ensure I am getting the best care and doing what’s best for my body. HIGHLY recommend!

The girls here are super nice and Dr. Howard has done wonders to my back and neck compared to how I was before coming in. I would recommend this place to anyone who’s been in an accident and needs treatment.

I first met Dr. Fawaz in downtown Pleasanton at the first Wednesday street fair. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and offered me a discount for signing up at his booth. I’ve been receiving adjustments for a couple of months now, and my pain is gone, flexibility is greatly improved and tennis elbow (which has also been working on) is now pain free. In addition to this, he is so kind. He is interested in the overall health of his patients. He gave a free talk on cancer prevention. Andrea is a very friendly and helpful receptionist, contrary to what another reviewer experienced. I would highly recommended Dr. Fawaz to anyone looking to eliminate back/​neck pain.

I’ve only been a patient at Healing Hands for a few weeks. In that time Doc Howards adjustments have increased my strenght and endurance during workouts along with some weight loss (the good kind).

I have be going to Dr Howard for 3 years now. No complaints. I usually always walk in because of my work schedule and never been turned away. Fortunately he always find the spots that need adjusting and if i ask him to look at another area I think needs adjustment he always is most accommodating. One of the most important thing to me is I am never harassed about my weight. No I am not morbidly obese (if your wondering,) just not a model either. Mostly I am glad my massage therapist recommended him to me.

Dr Howard. wow what a healer. Thank you so much

What a great Chiropractor! He absolutely loves his profession and it shows… He takes the time to get to know your physical and structual needs, but he also tunes into you mentally and emotionally which plays into your total healing. What’s also unique about him is that he has a gym in his office and he personal trains his patients who desire quick express workouts! Try him you won’t be disappointed!

I had been to some other Chiropractors in the past who seemed to seemed barely adjust your back and I would walk away questioning myself why did I came in in the first place. However, Dr. Howard is the real deal and always makes sure that you are fully and throughly adjusted before you leave his office. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a Chiropractor and even drive from San Ramon and Fremont to visit his office. 5 STARS!

If you are looking for some tangible cure for a sports injury, he is NOT your guy. He is only interested in getting you to visit him several times, multiple times, to waste your time and money — the establishment is called healing hands which is a joke. If you are looking for a good cure for a serious sports injury, dont waste your time & money with him. My husband started seeing him mid january and still hasnt recovered. we are now resorting to consult an ortheopedic surgeon /​sports medicine specialist.

My entire family has been going to Dr Howard for 10 years. He is the best. Even though we live in Newark we STILL drive to Pleasanton whenever we need a little extra maintenance on the back! He is the best and I wouldnt trust anyone else with my back! When me & my Dad’s back went out (different times) — we were walking upright after one visit. Dr Howard is gifted! Thanks for everything you’ve done for us!
