Relief for Waterfront Office Workers

Working in the Jack London Square area means long hours at your desk, often hunched over a computer or in meetings. This can lead to neck strain, upper back tension, and postural imbalances that build up over time.

At The Shift Chiropractic, we focus on helping Oakland's waterfront professionals address these occupational strains. Dr. Ben Glass, D.C. and Dr. Irina Velichko, D.C. provide personalized adjustments and wellness strategies tailored to your work environment and lifestyle.

Our office is about a 12-minute walk from Jack London Square, so a visit can fit into your workday or lunch break. Dr. Ben starts at 7:30 am on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and most weekdays run until 6:15 or 6:30 pm.
