Dudum Chiropractic

Dr. Dudum is truly a miracle worker! After a bad car accident 6 years ago my back has never been the same. I’ve sought help from doctors, specialist, and many chiropractors to no avail. Feeling defeated by the pain and a misdiagnosis of fibromyalgia I wanted to gave up, then I was referred to Dudum Chiropractic– Dr. Dudum really took the time to understand where my pain was steaming from, and addressed the pain accordingly. Thanks to his great skills and techniques he was able to realign my back to a point where the pain is no longer disruptive to my daily life. I highly recommend Dr. Dudum to anyone who is in search of a great chiropractor!

I have had the opportunity to be treated by some very good Chiropractors through the years but JD Dudum is in a league of his own. Very straight forward, knows his practice and I get lasting relief and improved health from his adjustments and treatments. His personal story explains some of the why but I also think that he continuously works to become better and better. His clients, me for one and my wife are the beneficiaries of that dedication and expertise. Very easy to get appointments, super clean professional offices and consistently outstanding results.

Dr. Dudum is truly the best! When I decided to see a chiropractor for my displaced jaw, I had no hope for any relief. I had gone through everything possible to help my condition… physical therapy, numerous jaw specialists, splint therapy, jaw flushes and even Botox to numb my muscles. Nothing helped until I began seeing Dr. Dudum! I could hardly open my mouth and after seeing him a few time, I was able to open my mouth after a year and a half! My pain has decreased greatly and I no longer have to eat a soft food diet. I could honestly not thank him enough! For anyone struggling with TMJ and jaw displacement or locking, he can help you! Thanks Dr. Dudum!

I’ve been a patient for about three months. Got in an auto accident and Dr. Dudum has been getting my body adjusted and back on track. The pain and discomfort has decreased significantly. The whole experience has been nothing but pleasant and professional from the front desk reception to the massage therapist to Dr. Dudum. The one thing that struck me was how passionate Dr. Dudum is about his work and holistic health in general. It’s a breath of fresh air to finally have a professional who gets how very important diet and the right supplements are to reduce inflammation and increase energy. This office actually teaches patients how to get healthy with food. I plan to continue seeking treatment from Dr. Dudum as part of my commitment to holistic health alternatives.

I have to second all the five star reviews here. Dr. Dudum is AMAZING! What I love about him is he’s the only doctor I’ve ever had who actually introduced himself to me as I was waiting in the lobby. I just had my first visit today (a co-​worker referred me) and he was thorough, patient and very understanding. This doctor is great as well on asking questions… he gets a truly well rounded scope about your health. During those times of the exam when he needed to «pop» the back to alleviate tension, he was gentle and took great care to ensure I would not be injured. You would think it takes about 10 – 15 minutes to diagnose the problem on your initial visit. Dr. Dudum figured mine out in 3 minutes. We’re going to work out a great plan to get my back to work well again and I couldn’t be happier. He can also sense what you are feeling, too, as I was leaning up against the edge of the table during the exam. It felt as if I would fall off but he obviously noticed and he assured me he would not let me fall off.
What also makes him great is he gives you his cell phone number if you need anything (as he’s on call). If you also have financial issues and need to make special arrangements, they are more than willing to work with you. Great and clean office, too! I also want to commend Alex, the front desk clerk, as he was very cordial. He deserves a shout out here as well.
Highly recommend!

This man worked some serious magic on me… I’d never been to a chiropractor, and honestly didn’t think I would ever need to. I thought chiropractors only helped people who had chronic back pains — which I didn’t have… Well, after an unexpected (and excruciating) back injury, I was desperate for some sort of relief and called Dudum Chiropractic to ask if my injury made me a good candidate for their services. Dr. Dudum told me he thought he could help me, and that he had a cancellation that morning so could see me right away. He was very friendly and asked a lot of questions about how I hurt myself. I told him I’d tried heat pads, had been given some pretty heavy-​duty pain meds from my doctor, but still, nothing helped. He did a few movement tests on me to help pinpoint exactly where my injury was. After cracking my back in a few areas, and doing a few other stretches on me, I could immediately tell my back muscles were looser and my flexibility was better. I was shocked. And hopeful that he could actually help me get rid of this pain! He gave me a few stretches to do at home and told me to come back later that week. By my next appointment, I was feeling much better, and after just a 15-​minute 2^nd appointment, I felt amazing! Dr. Dudum told me to take it easy for a few more days, but honestly, I felt so great that I practically ran down the stairs out to my car. I couldn’t even WALK up a full flight of stairs just 24 hours earlier! Thank you for helping me, Dr. Dudum! I’ll be back for sure — but hopefully next time will just be for maintenance, not repairs. :)

Just came from my first appnt. Dr. Dudum did an excellent job assessing and realigning me. I feel like a new person! Was surprised to hear what the issue was and excited that he broke up scar tissue. He was also patient with my sick 2 year old who I had to bring with.

«BACK» Story:
Until just recently, I never had a reason or need for chiropractic care. I have a relatively active lifestyle — I don’t run marathons on my days off or admire trophies earned for my athletic abilities –BUT– I’m also not one to sink into my couch and eat Cheetos all day, either. I work in an office (meaning I sit on my a** all day/​every day) and I’ve never had any hardcore injuries or surgeries.
How my back went bye-​bye: :-/​
One Friday night my back decided it wasn’t in the mood to cooperate. It was like a freight train carrying the WORST pain imaginable rushed into my body… and thew itself into park. I was laid up for the weekend and had to take an additional 2 days off work. My regular doctor threw all these crazy pain medications in my face and said the soreness would eventually subside… ice…heat…blah blah… whatevs. I wanted to know WTH was wrong with my back not be high on pain meds… waiting for my back to start hurting again as soon as the happy pill wore off.
Jules, Man up already!!:
After nearly two weeks of watching me shuffle around like a lil old lady & hearing endless whimpers every time I moved, my BF insisted I see his Chiropractor. This wasn’t an easy sell because I had it in my mind that Chiropractors were bone-​crunchers and I didn’t want my back cracked and thrusted into submission. Scary! I was a delicate and fragile little flower by this point. I was still having to take sick days at work because the thought of having to sit upright for 8 hours made me cringe.
J.D. Dudum /​Dudum Chiropractic: ;^)
I called J.D.‘s office and was able to get a same day appointment. My ordinarily fearless self was terrified. I fought the urge to run out of the waiting room — had it not been for my BF having history with this guy… I would have chickened out and bolted.
J.D. brought me into the treatment room so he could have a look at my poor pathetic hunched over misery and asked questions. He was patient and took the time to explain what he was going to do before he did it. Told me what I might hear/​feel and how and where Id feel the result of each treatment. I was there maybe a half hour the first time. Within 2 days after seeing J.D. I was back to wearing my heels. The week following my first treatment I went back for two additional follow-​up treatments. The pain meds have been trashed and hallelujah, Ive returned to a state of normalcy!
This guy knows his biz and is fantastic at what he does. I would be quick to confidently recommend J.D. Dudum Chiropractic to anyone experiencing back troubles!

I’m a long time Unilocal user but never felt compelled to create an account to write a review. However, after meeting with Dr. Dudum I couldn’t justify not making the effort to post something. I have been seeing chiropractors for over ten years due to neck, back and foot pain. While I experienced some results from these visits, I was beginning to think that chiropractors could only do so much for me. But then I visited Dr. Dudum, who took more time than most to assess why I was in pain and used a variety of techniques to bring relief. I know from experience that I can’t get everything fixed in one visit, but I have never experienced so much relief from just one adjustment. I was very impressed by his assessment of why I was in pain and his methods of going about fixing it. He was also able to explain things to me very well in layman’s terms and I felt like I had a better understanding of the issue than I ever had from my visits with other chiropractors.
Hands down the best chiropractor I have seen and I would strongly recommend him to friends and family.

Dr. D is a wonderful chiropractor. I’ve experienced jaw pain and clicking for several years now and have some hesitancy, looked around for chiropractors in my area. Dr. Dudum listened attentively to my concerns and was very gentle with the adjustments. He has a great bedside manner and friendly personality. Would definitely recommend him to friends and family.

My necking was killing me and beside the neck I have long standing issues with my whole kinetic chain (I was a personal trainer). I spent too many years playing sports that played havoc on my body including a diving accident. I was used to the pain… but as I approached my 40’s the pain was not longer tolerable. I called over 10 Chiros at lunch today hoping someone could fit me in and they wouldn’t pressure me to buy a «care plan» like the previous chiro in El Cerrito — I was on a fixed budget but in pain… wish this wasn’t the case. Anyhow… called this office today and they fit me in — extensive assessments, not a sales approach but a holistic approach. He is knowledgeable and an evidence based practitioner — not a bunch and bells and whistles like other chiros. Left today with no pain in my neck and increase ROM in other joints. I have no idea what is in the future for my care and the results but as of now I am pleased with the results and his approach to treatment. Highly recommended!!!

Dr. Dudum truly is the best chiropractor I have known. I’ve been seeing chiropractors off and on in the last 20 years, none of them even compare to him. I Knew it after my first visit right when I started seeing a difference in my pain level… he listens, asks questions and truly is in tune with what you want.
I highly recommend him for athletes, mothers, pregnant woman and anyone who truly wants to improve their movement and reduce injury.

Dr. Duham is the best he make sure you are at ease and relaxed, his approach is
authentic and caring. I feel great after each appointment

I started treatment with Dr. Dudum a few years back after an injury that I incurred during weight training. Dr. Dudum immediately put me on a regimen of exercise, diet, and concentrated treatment. the results were immediate and I was back to my normal workout cycle within 4 weeks. Dr. Dudum is a personable and attentive individual and I would feel comfortable recommending him to anyone. His knowledge is modern and thought-​provoking, not just your run of the mill analysis.

A great and convenient chiropractic office! After a car accident that totalled my car and left me with pain and neck spasms, Dr. Dudum helped fix me in less than 4 months. I am so grateful the Dr. Dudum and his coworkers for all their help.

I’m a 50+ fat women, introduced to Doctor Dudum at Roundhill. I began seeing him for a rotator cup injury, which I thought could only be repaired with surgery. He assessed
me from head to toe, can’t remember the last time a doctor took interest in the whole body, not just the point of pain. He administered deep tissue therapy and after only a few appointments my mobility and comfort no longer impaired my weight training or golf game.
Doctor Dudums’ holistic approach and authentic attentiveness keeps me coming back.

I began seeing Dr. Dudum for plantar fasciatis and foot pain. After about 3 visits, my pain was reduced by 50% and the improvements continue as I continue with care. I am able to get back to running and doing crossfit without discomfort afterwards. He gave me exercises to do at home and educated me on the cause of the problem, which he is addressing with his adjustments.
Dr. Dudum is extremely professional & knowledgable about how the body functions and he is passionate about natural health. I’m very thankful for his care.

Thank you Dr. Dudum for bringing mobility back to my neck, something that months of physical therapy couldn’t do. The education with physical and animated models really helped me to understand what was going on with my neck, something that two Dr. s at the California Spine Center couldn’t do. One Dr. said he could fuse C1 and C2 together down the line and the other Dr. suggested I just take advil everyday for the rest of my life to deal with the pain. So disappointing that my healthcare insurance wasted so much time and money when I could have had my problem address a long time ago. I’m looking forward to getting back into tennis, biking and golf, activities that my prior doctors said I’d never be able to do again. They suggested I take up swimming :(

JD Dudum helped me recover from a severely injured back. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He’s has also helped set up a workout regimen to prevent the injury from happening again. I have continued to visit JD for monthly adjustments and it has helped my overall health and fitness. I would highly recommend JD.

If I could do 6 stars I would.
I’ll be the first to admit, I was extremely skeptical about Chiropractors in general. I don’t like going to doctors and I was definitely not sure about Chiropractors. With that being said, I have had issues with my foot/​lower leg for some time now caused from running. I went to a general doctor first (I really didn’t want to, but I couldn’t walk and gave in). I should have stayed with my initial judgement. 15 minutes later I was no different than from when I first walked in, no new information or help…
I decided to try a Chiropractic approach. I was recommended to JD from a friend. WOW! Such a difference in only a few sessions. JD was extremely helpful in explaining what was going on with my leg/​foot from an anatomy standpoint as well as in layman’s terms. He worked on all aspects of my leg using various tools and messages. After a few sessions I was able to walk normally, without a limp, and felt much better. I was able to run for the first time in weeks a couple days ago and my leg/​foot felt great!
JD is super nice, knowledgeable and friendly. He is very receptive to you and your body and makes sure that he isn’t doing more than you can handle. If you haven’t tried a chiropractor yet, DO and definitely give JD a call.
