Athens Chiropractic

Dr. Nick is terrific. He has helped me quite a bit with multiple issues in my back and his team, which includes massage therapists and physical therapists are a great complement to his adjusting work. You leave feeling better, but also with a plan to continue to help yourself with stretching and other insightful recommendations. Highly recommend.

I was referred to Dr. Nick Athens due to a horrific fall that left me in severe pain and mobility issues. I have been to. Chiropractor previously but frankly did not receive relief. From the first day, first treatment, adjustment and «the gym» I felt hope. Dr. Athens is an extraordinary and gifted Chiropractor who will make a difference in his patients care and overall well being. I attest to the fact that I would not be walking or sleeping without the intervention and treatment I received. I am a patient for life!

I admittedly was skeptical of chiropractors. I found Athens to be very professional. You can tell Dr. Jerry puts in the extra effort to care for his patients.

Great place to get «adjusted!» I have been a regular patient of Nick Athens for 19 years. He is simply the best there is in the business. Highly recommended!

I can’t say enough good things about this operation. You are first set up with a PT for massage or loosening up then Dr. Athens for the adjustment & you are back with a PT for stretching, strengthening exercises or a roll out.
My first experience was with a lower back issue that was nearly cured with one visit. What immense relief. Just recently my GP diagnosed me with shoulder impingement and gave me a prescription for anti inflammatories. Pain continued, no improvement. Time passed & I got to thinking «maybe Dr. Athens could help» not thinking of him first because it was a shoulder issue (not back). One treatment later & what an improvement. My only regret was that I wish I had gone sooner.
Highly recommend.

Few months ago, had acute back muscle ache. Dr Jerry Patrignani diagnosed and helped with Chiropractic solution. Staff in this clinic are warm and nice. Moreover when I got better Jerry even went step further with ensuring no relapse. When I had insurance claim issues. They went extra mile to coordinate with my insurance medical supplier to ensure that everything is set right.
Strongly recommend this place for right diagnosis, treatment and therapy and its been 3 months and no recurrence of muscle ache.
Thank You Jerry, Mario and all of the staff.

I started seeing Dr. Jerry Patrignani for a very painful back and leg injury 6 weeks ago. He is a master at his craft. He is very professional, really listened carefully to my problem and concerns, and also showed me several stretches and exercises to do on my own to help strengthen the painful area. I could not walk without pain when I started to see him, and now, 6 weeks later I am able to walk, hike and stand fully upright. I have very little if any pain and I feel great. I will continue to see him on a regular basis to keep everything in check. I highly recommend him!

I’ve been doing brazilian jiu jitsu for about a year and six months now. During one of my classes I ended up hurting my lower back. I went and saw my other chiropractor, who was my first chiropractor, and he adjusted me. I still was in pain 3 weeks later even after being adjusted. I thought maybe I would have to go see a medical doctor until someone at my gym suggested I call Dr. Mario.
I made an appt and him and his team went to work as soon as I came into the office. They x-​rayed me, which the other place didn’t, and they also had a sports therapist there working with me and on me. They told me what was wrong and showed it showed in the x-​rays that one hip was higher than the other. Mario knew exactly what he needed to do in order to fix the problem. Within a week I was already feeling better.
Dr. Mario and his team are great! He is my go to body mechanic. They provide me with helpful tips on how to prevent this next time. I listen to them and do what they say because I don’t like being in pain. I continue to go to Dr. Mario even after being fixed. I feel stronger, healthier, and have more knowledge about my own body.
I highly recommend coming here!

I’ve had a back problem for 14 months. I’ve been to the hospital several times and taken a bunch of medication that made me no better. I had sleep problems and I have been under powered.
I heard lots of good things about this Athens guy. So I try him. I’ve had two appointments and feel like a kid again. I’m just annoyed with myself for not doing this 14 months ago.
Athens is a stand up guy, running a great ‘workshop’ for bodies.

Jerry Patrignani and Karen Greene are as good as it gets! I have been going to Athens Chiropractic /​Dr. Patrignani for several years, and both he and Karen are keenly astute when it comes to assessing pain and administering proper care. I cannot say enough about this clinic. Simply the best I have been to in the bay area.

I’ve changed my tune on these guys. Dr. Jerry and his weekly adjustments have really straightened me out. After seeing him for the past 3 months I have little or no back discomfort. I really enjoy the soft tissue massage too.
If you have back, shoulder or neck issues I would recommend him highly.

hmmm. i don’t know why my experience was so unlike everyone else’s. Did i do something wrong ?
My hip pain is still there. I also asked the doctor if he will take care of my neck and shoulder and he said «yes» very confidently.
I went with full trust and commitment.
Unfortunately things are the same.
He just did the usual adjustment every time. That’s it. Never looked at my shoulder injury which i believe is the cause of the hip pain.
So after numerous trips the hip pain remains.
The doctor actually only spends about 7 mins with you.
Also he only take blue shield. Nothing else. Initial payment amounts to more than $ 500.
They try to upsell you on evrything.
A backrest type thing for your car (amazon $ 25) they sell for $ 50
(i saw dr. athens. he is a nice guy. just did not work out, though)

Been seeing Dr. Mario G. for over a year now and he is excellent! Had neck and shoulder problems for years and decided to finally try out chiro work. haven’t had a problem since! Mario is always in the zone and very zen with his adjustments. Highly recommended.

Dr. Mario is the man, the constant professional know his craft and care about his clients. I suffer a bad strain on my left shoulder (last 3 yr) until I met Dr Mario that the man put me back together Thank you! You the man Dr!
PS
Super cool nice gentlemen

Dr Jerry is awesome, professional, very knowledgable in his profession and friendly! My husband started to come here first then I did due to a very painful tailbone and leg cramping from my pregnancy. My tailbone doesn’t hurt anymore and now we’re doing weekly visits to help with my legs. I would definently recommend Dr Jerry Patrignani for a pregnant woman needing some chiropractic care. :) PS I think it’s weird that people have found this review funny…

Dr. Athens and Zara are the best! I used to be really afraid of getting adjusted but Nick took this fear away. He is really funny and truly cares about his patients. Zara is really sweet and it is always a pleasure to see her. The orthotics that I got really help me through out the day. Thank you Athens Chiropractic!

I LOVE Dr. Athens. I’m now 24, I’ve seen him since I was 12!!! — I’ll never forget when I came into what’s now their old office with my neck not even being able to move after some rough housing with my big brother. He was very gentle and for someone that young who’s never even heard of a chiropractor back then, he was perfect.
As the years passed my family and I saw him about once a week to once every other week. — I got into another accident this time by snow boarding… I walked in with crutches and walked out perfectly fine without them.
I still see Dr. Athens and will continue to see him… even while working for another Chiropractor :)

my neck… my back…
I came here about 2 years ago when i was having some back issues – the chiropractor always scared me for some reason, but I had heard good things so I came in. I have been coming back ever since. I try to go on a monthly basis, and have Dr. Jerry give me adjustments. However, sometimes I skip a month and I can really feel the difference.
They provide a pretty deep tissue massage prior to the adjustment and the appointments usually last about 20 – 30 minutes total.
I have been pretty much pain free for the time I have been seeing Dr. Jerry and I intend to keep it that way.

Dr. Nick Athens is by far the best chiropractor ever! I have been going to him for the past 5 years after he found my broken neck. I broke C1 and C2 in four places in a cheerleading accident and the medic on sight said it was muscle spasms so we thought okay let’s go to the chiropractor! Went to doctor Nick, he took x-​rays and found it! He is the chiropractor for the 49ers!
Every time I go I feel two inches taller.
You can always call them when they open and usually they can squeeze you in which has been very nice!
I moved from Fremont to Discovery Bay 3 years ago and still happily make the drive to go to Athens Chiropractic every time!

This is the in-​n-​out, rack-​em-​and-​crack-​em kind of place. On my few visits to Athens Chiropractic, i was done in 15 minutes almost every time, and I felt like cattle. I’m not saying they are quacks (I’m a big fan of chiropractic care.) They just remind me way too much of a factory assembly line. I’ve been spoiled by much more attentive, personal service and have since moved on to another Chiropractor.
I’m sure they have helped people. I’m sure they have fixed some serious problems, but there are a lot better Chiropractors out there. And I’m grading on a curve.
