Innate Chiropractic - Stefan Cohen

I've been going to see Dr. Cohen for about 4 months now and feel so much better because of it. He's an excellent healer and practitioner. He's caring, listens well, explains what he's doing and how it might help, has a good sense of humor, and works with you as a partner in your own healing. Definitely recommended!

Legend. Chiropractic work, myofacial release, whole body systems wellness work, . i came here later than I should have, but look forward to the less pained future in front.

I had neck pain at the base of my skull, and the work Stefan performed relieved my pain. I felt much lighter and a deep sense of relaxation when I left. The front desk is very friendly and efficient.

Still one of the best practitioners I have had! Gifted healer, thinks out of the box and systemically. So happy the studio is open and with great Covid-19 protocols. Highly recommend!

I have seen Dr Cohen twice now, and have found him to be knowledgeable and sincerely caring. He takes the time to get to the root of the problem. I highly recommend him

I'm back! So, that means I did something to myself (like trying to catch myself while doing a trip & fall, instead of falling & rolling with it - yes, I've done that before!) or it's race season & I'm training. Thank goodness it's the latter this time! Dr C has been treating me for years & has kept my body moving and doing stuff I didn't think I'd still be joyfully doing at 50+ years. He's intuitive, holistic, kind and just a great guy! Randi runs the front office and is amazing! She's friendly, helpful and just the sweetest!

She deserves a raise! Channing is the massage therapist I see in the office! I work a stressful job and she manages to keep the boulders in my shoulders in check, when I see her regularly! Plus along with Dr C's magical touch, they keep this armchair athlete & weekend warrior in the game! Thanks Innate Chiropractic!

Dr. Cohen is a real healer, and he has so many various ways to help get people out of pain. He is very intuitive, caring, and has a great sense of humor besides! The office is a very comforting space to be in also, helped along by Randi, who is a very patient and calm presence behind the desk. I highly recommend this practice.

I've been treated by Dr. Cohen last year and he very quickly helped identify and correct my knee pain. This year I had bad upper back pain and needed to be seen asap. They were awesome and found time to squeeze me in for a visit within hours. Dr. Cohen quickly identified the source of my pain and worked his magic. I couldn't believe it, but the same day I was already feeling much better.

Have had two teleconferences so far with Stephen and he has been great. More than just a professional medical person, he showed me he really cares about my condition and called me for our first appointment at the end of a long day and spent as much time with me as his schedule allowed. Clearly a cut above and one that I will be seeing again and again in the future. He is also able to provide me with all the services I need to get my spine in top shape again to live life fully-and pain free!

I have been going to Dr. Cohen's office for over 10 years and I feel that he has always been able to diagnose what the underlying problem was for my pain. Especially his approach with kinesiology and finding the emotional connection e. g. to my lower back pain was very helpful. I like his friendly personality and his gentle way of pointing out life-style changes like following a certain diet for a while or doing specific exercises to prevent further ailments down the road. I recommend his chiropractic whole-heartedly. Also his staff always makes me feel welcome.

Dr Cohen and team are nothing but exceptional. As a former collegiate rower, I can be picky about my chiropractic care. I have been seeing Dr Cohen for almost two years now and he is very thorough, kind and helpful. I see him for some hip and back pain and he always makes me feel so much better. Channing and Regan are also wonderful clinicians and professionals. I would highly recommend this practice.

Truly superb chiropractic service and one of the best places in Albany to increase your wellness. As a mind-body practitioner and instructor at UC Berkeley since 1998, I am grateful I found Dr. Cohen's practice. His care, compassion, and intelligent adjustments are really important to my well-being. The office is clean, calm, and a bastion of professionalism. Innate Chiropractic has welcoming staff and is conveniently located on San Pablo Avenue with easy access to the freeway and ample street parking.

I highly recommend this chiropractic center! My visits here have all gone well and their knowledge and expertise are exceptional. Moreover, the entire staff are friendly, and respectful and dedicated to customer service. I simply won't go anywhere else!

Walked out of Dr. Cohen's office today feeling amazing, as I usually do after my visits. Everything from knee pain, to neck issues, to digestive issues, Dr. Cohen has been able to get to the core of my issues. He's now my go-to for all health-related concerns. The mix of applied kinesiology, chiro, and emotional therapy has worked wonders to bring me to a place of balance - especially with this year's stressors. If you have any health concerns, just go. You'll be happy you did.

This was my first time seeing a chiropractor, but an exercise coach suggested it might help with my frozen shoulder issues. Not knowing what to expect, I was pleased to find that Dr. Cohen's approach was different, yet complementary to what I was already getting with physical therapy, and I attribute the breakthrough from frozen to thawing with his different methodologies - using KT tape, cupping, fascia scraping, exploring emotional stress, etc.

Even seemingly minor adjustments seemed to make a big difference. The office is well-run and has strong COVID protocols. Having massage in-house (Channing) is an added bonus, especially since they share notes between each other and can address what each other is seeing. I always wondered why people went to chiropractors, and now I get it.

I have been going to Dr. Cohen on and off for a couple years for lower back issues. Dr. Cohen does adjustments and helps me be able to get back to my normal routines. He has also successfully treated other issues for me (neck pain, hip pain). He is kind and takes time to listen to what is going on with your body. His office manager, Randi, is very helpful and kind. I highly recommend Innate Chiropractic and Wellness.

I started seeing Dr. Cohen a few years ago when training for my first trail marathon. I was experiencing hip, back and other injuries that I couldn't shake and still participate in my endurance sport challenges; despite stretching, rolling, rest and seeing other chiropractors. Over the past 20 years I've seen quite a few chiropractors and none other then Dr. Cohen have provided such consistent and immediate relief, support and recommendations for "homework" (certain core and hip strength exercises; for instance).

He got me successfully through my marathon, multiple half Ironmans, a full ironman and now helping address and prevent injury leading into my first ultra. I also feel very confident in the safety of his office during covid and would highly recommend Dr. Cohen as part of any athlete's 'pit crew'. He has also helped my friend who is not an endurance athlete by has genetic back issues with immediate relief and support as needed.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Cohen. I've been seeing him for years now for issues I have with my hips getting out of alignment my back and shoulder and neck pain from sitting in front of a computer and related issues. I think my favorite part about visiting Dr. Cohen Is that he takes a very holistic approach which I have never experienced with other chiropractors.

From the beginning he looked at the way I moved and suggested exercises and strengthening and other things that would help me generally avoid pain. Also he is a very aware of how emotional stress impacts your body and how to relieve some of that stress by adjustments. They also have an excellent process for seeing patients during this pandemic and I feel very safe visiting the office. Oh and Randi at the front desk is a lovely person and wonderful to interact with.

I recommend Innate Chiropractic for overall health and also for injury and specific alignment. Innate also has massage services that I use. I have recovered from injuries twice by seeing Stefan and the masseuse. My elbow and nerve injury was impacting my ability to play music and it was very painful. Other chiropractors told me they could not help me, but Stefan's wholistic approach got me through the healing and on to great movement.

I have completely recovered from the elbow and nerve injury which other practitioners said I would not fully recover. I strongly recommend the healing services of Innate Chiropractic.

Dr. Cohen is a gifted and truly holistic practicioner. I've been to many, many chiropractors and I must say that Dr. Cohen took the extra time to help identify the root cause and provide treatment that included so much more than just an adjustment. He is so knowledgeable and is a phenomenal healer and practicioner. I highly recommend him and his office to anyone needing care.

Dr. Cohen is a fantastic Chiropractor. He's one of those people that never stops learning. His knowledge goes way beyond what you would normally expect your chiropractic office. He really cares about what he is doing and wants to help people. He does multiple body test before he even works on you so he knows exactly what to do. He is very kind and supportive when anybody comes in with pain or suffering of any kind.

I noticed my posture became excellent after he worked on me. Since my posture has been fantastic I can see my health has increased as well in every area. I trust his healing expertise. I have seen many of his clients coming in with extreme pain and poor health but they leave with hope and faith. He is excellent at understanding the nervous system and how to improve the persons health through strengthening the nervous system. I definitely recommend anybody I know to see him. If he is in your area you are extremely lucky. With Gratitude

I am a lifelong endurance athlete who suddenly found myself with debilitating back pain, unable to run or do many of the activities that I not only enjoyed but that played a huge part in defining who I was. This was not only crushing mentally and physically, but dealt a severe blow to my overall wellbeing. For years since my back trouble began, I consulted with various health practitioners, including other chiropractors, and while there was some temporary relief, the pain and limited mobility persisted. Somehow, despite various methods of diagnosis, including x-ray analysis, none of the doctors could get to the bottom of the issues. Finally, I consulted with Dr. Stefan Cohen of Innate Chiropractic, which has resulted in three visits to date. Dr. Stefan's first concern is always getting to the root of the issue, much like an electrician troubleshoots circuitry.

And since the body's issues are like a moving target, each visit identifies current and chronic issues and attempts to address them in appropriate fashion. Ultimately, Dr. Stefan identified two separate but related issues, did some adjustments, and had me go through various motions and exercises. I then got a customized home exercise program to help address a muscular weakness and imbalance, and since incorporating the exercises I've been able to get back out doing my favorite activity - running - free of pain and the nagging impingement that no one else could resolve in nearly five years.

I like to think of Dr. Cohen as a geek of his trade, in the best sense of the term, as he is forever fascinated by the human body and constantly seeks to learn new ways to enhance his knowledge and skills. On the rare occasion that the office isn't open, it's probably because Dr. Cohen is flying somewhere at his own expense to attend a professional workshop or conference.

One additional perk of visiting Dr. Cohen and Innate Chiropractic is Channing, an excellent massage therapist in her own right. During a visit, Channing helps work on tight muscles, find trouble spots, and generally induce relaxation to prepare for Dr. Cohen's work. Between the two of them, I know that I am in the best of hands.

Dr. Cohen is an incredibly gifted healer using chiropractic and applied kinesiology methods to help with balance and adjustments. He is superbly knowledgeable in his field and also listens very well to me as a patient often applying other interesting traditional and new techniques to help me feel better with intestinal problems as well as musculature and back and neck problems.

I have been seeing chiropractors since I was 13, with scoliosis developing and an injured neck. Both were realigned to full functionality and health. Though I spent many years with pain and patterns due to the trauma. I wish I had known Dr. Cohen then! Although, he would have been about 13 too so I guess we would have just been friends. My point is that his work is so comprehensive, working with emotional patterns, soft tissue as well as bones and joints, he could have saved me years of struggling to clear all the ramifications of that early situation. A deeply compassionate person and stellar healer.

Dr. Cohen is intuitive, kind, and extremely skilled. He brings many different modalities of treatment to bear upon whatever body/mind issue you bring to him. I am particularly grateful for his wholistic approach and for all of his excellent advice for prevention and self-care. Other chiropractors may charge less, but you'll have to go constantly because their treatment may not "hold" as well as what Dr. Cohen does, nor will they take the time to teach you how to care for your body better using exercise and nutrition. I cannot recommend him enough!" I really appreciate your help.

5 Stars does not begin to tell the story! Dr. Cohen is extremely intelligent and friendly. He explains everything he is doing to you and why. It is such a pleasure to have a doctor who partners with you in your wellness. He is intuitive and flexible when diagnosing and treating, he leaves no stone unturned. Dr Cohen takes a lot of time to listen to me and to intuit where the problem is (pin pointed exactly) and the best course of treatment which included chiropractic, massage, rock tape and various other strategies. We are so glad to have him as a part of our family wellness! I really appreciate your help.

Dr. Cohen has been my primary health practitioner for over a decade and I can't recommend him enough! His approach is truly holistic, as he works with the body to determine exactly what kind of adjustment it needs. Muscular, Skeletal, Nutritional, even Emotional levels are addressed. When I first came to Dr. Cohen, I couldn't walk correctly due to a severely sprained ankle.

Where my MD gave up, Dr. Cohen leaned in and we got to work! I was up and running, playing volleyball, and dancing again in no time. If you've ever been reluctant to go to a chiropractor because they only "crack backs, " you've got to give Innate Chiropractic a try- it is so much more! Rena, one of the massage therapists, is a gift. Her intuitive approach is incredible, and everyone I know who has seen her has had a profound experience. Her approach is one part massage therapist, one part spiritual counselor, and one part badass-girlfriend advisor. Can't say enough good things about the staff at Innate!
