Amor Adams, DC, DACBSP

She is amazing. Knows her stuff and very experienced. She is very reassuring and answers all the questions I have. Being an athlete it is great to have a Doctor who knows exactly what I’m talking about. I highly recommend her.

I got muscle strains about 2 years ago and I could not walk. My doctor have me a pain killer shot and prescribed me muscle relaxant and strong pain killer. After a week I still felt stiffness, could not walk much and could not even stand straight. I tried to see my doctor again but she said’no, you don’t need to come here, I cannot do anything else’ and sent me to physical therapy instead. Nothing help much because physical therapist only taught me how to exercise and how to prevent it from happening again. She didn’t fix anything so I decided to seek another help and I found Dr. Adams. I have been seeing her almost 2 years now. She is such a kind and patient person.
Even though western doctors do not recommend any alternative medicine, I never feel regret to go see Dr. Adams at all. She is better.
I feel grateful and thankful to her.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Adams for about 5 years now and what she does with just slight movements, and expertise is truly magic. She’s never hurt me and has always fixed whatever problem I’m having. She’s also given me some stretches and movements to help in between visits. I have never had to see her for long periods of time because she’s so damn good she heals me right up. That is until the next time I make a stupid movement or lift something too heavy. Now I’m just a regular person but I know Dr. Adams also treats major athletes including players at Cal as well as Olympic contenders. If you’ve got body part out of whack… this woman can fix it. She also takes insurance so for me, luckily, a visit is $ 25!

Dr. Adams is an excellent chiropractor, who is an expert in sports medicine. She works with professional athletes, Olympians, college teams, weekend warriors, and those needing chiropractic care. I have a chronic neck pain due to scoliosis and she has been the only chiropractor to help relieve me from the pain. I have been going to her for many years, and always recommend her to friends. Dr. Adams is extremely professional, kind and caring. Her office staff is very professional, and I always feel welcomed in her office. I highly recommend Dr. Adams!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Adama off and on over the years for my neck. Not only did she help reduce severe pain from it, but anytime it acts up again she manages to stop the flare up in one visit. I wouldn’t trust any other chiropractor. I’ve sent many friends to Dr. Adams over the years, and they have all been amazed by her ability to heal chronic problems as well. I recommend her wholeheartedly!

Dr. Adams is the best sports medicine specialist I’ve ever seen. She is warm but straightforward, great at explaining what is going on with your injury and what you need to do to heal. I always feel better physically and emotionally after a visit to Dr. Adams!
Another thing I really admire about her is that she respects all kinds of athletes, from Olympic medalists to amateurs with respect. I would recommend her to anyone.

Dr. Adams is a godsend. After having been diagnosed with a torn intercostal muscle and prescribed powerful muscle relaxants, I visited Dr. Adams for the first time. She correctly diagnosed and treated me and had my back to 100% normal within a matter of days. It’s impossible to articulate how appreciative I am of Dr. Adams. Her practical sports medicine approach and chiropractic expertise is unparalleled.
Thank you Dr Adams and Dee!

Dr. Adams is helping me to fix my plantar fasciitis. I’ve had it for a couple years with no progress. She has me back up and active. She is kind and sincerely cares about her patients. But most importantly, she works true miracles on a body!

Dr. Adams really knows her stuff!

The greatest sports chiro in the business!
I have been going to Dr. Adams on and off for almost 10 years now and I love her!!! She is an advocate for her athlete patients because she’s an athlete herself. I always feel better when I leave her office.
Oh, and her fancy chair is fabulous :)

i had been training for the oakland half marathon when my knee started hurting. it was about a month before the race, and i was pretty panicked. so, i searched for a nearby sports doctor, and dr. adams was the most convenient. on my first appointment, she executed a very thorough examination, including perusal of my stride and my shoes. after that, we started my plan to recovery. i was prescribed stretches, an appointment a week, and the purchasing of tape for my knee. long story short, i was able to run the race, all taped up, but i survived! should i encounter injuries again, i’ll contact dr. adams in a heartbeat! she was great!

Just to be clear upfront… I love Dr. Adams! I have been seeing Doc Adams for almost 7 years for multiple injuries and conditions; from a dislocated hip to painful lower back and upper neck, to repetitive stress injury in my wrist and thumb. I appreciate her gentleness and whole body approach, not to mention her understanding of the human body and it’s needs. I have referred many a friend to her who have all been thrilled with Doc Adams as well. Oh, and did I mention here wonderful office manager Dee… love her! Don’t forget to ask about «the chair»… one of my favorite reasons for visiting the Doc and Dee… besides feeling better of course!

My mom found Dr. Amor for me when I had a major back spasm through the Berkeley Parent’s Network website. I did not realize she only had two Unilocal reviews or I would have written one sooner. I saw her about three months ago after developing a major pain in my lower back. It got to the point to where I was nearly bed ridden from the pain. After being greeted by her beautiful assistant Ms. Dee I was shown into Dr. Amor’s miracle room. We talked about my pain for about 10 minutes and then had me lay on my stomach. She then made a secondary assessment using her hands. After determining what was going on she left the room and returned with an electric pad that she placed on top of my lower back. She then left the room and came back about 15 minutes later. She then rubbed not just the injured area but also my shoulders and said that I was carrying a lot of tension in them. This had been an ongoing problem with me for as long as I can remember. Now if I remember correctly, I had paid upfront for just a treatment of my lower back spasm. She then spent another 20 minutes working the pain out of my shoulders. I swear my neck had never felt so good in my life and it still does to this day. Calling her a miracle worker doesn’t do this woman justice. Its a very low key practice but the quality of service is outstanding. I recommend her to anybody and everybody that I can.

Dr. Adams made observations and recommendations that no one — not personal trainers, not physical therapists, not doctors had ever noticed or thought of before. She is highly skilled! It’s also cool that she went to Beijing with the US Olympic Team.
And, the receptionist, Dee, was amazing when my insurance screwed up. She never got frustrated with me, even though it took a long time for them to get paid.

I’m going to run out of superlatives describing Dr. Adams: She is amazingly awesomely unbelievably caring, knowledgeable, kind, compassionate, funny, humble, personable, and extremely good at what she does. She gives attention to the whole individual, treating the entire person with great care and affectionate humor, using different modalities, and not just treating the ailment in isolation. She’s a truly skillful practitioner and remarkable human-​being.
Her office staff, Dee, is just as amazing as she is – kind and motherly, and at the same time very professional. I look forward to my visits not just because of the top-​notch medical care, but also their wonderful personalities.
I so wish I had discovered her years ago, before spending time and resources on practitioners who didn’t help (or sometimes made things worse), all the while losing hope, and just living with my aches and pains. She has a specialty is sports medicine, but also treats patients with chronic pains related to RSI, posture, etc., like me.
I found her through recommendations on the «Berkeley Parents Network», where people were raving. I’m SO GRATEFUL I’ve found her, and as an act of gratitude, leaving this review so that other self-​described hopeless cases like me can benefit from her healing magic.
Best wishes to you all hurting bodies…

I can’t believe no one has Unilocaled Dr. Adams! She is the reason I do not sit around hunched over with one shoulder next to my right earlobe anymore! (Stupid repetetive stress injury…)
I personally think that people do not want share her loveliness with others, and selfishly, I should probably rethink this post, but since I don’t have many Unilocal friends, I think I’m safe for now.
Dr. Adams does sports medicine as well as chiropractic work. She is super gentle, really funny, and treats all of her patients like good friends or family. Plus, you’ve GOT to love Dee, her assistant. Dee is the nicest, most charming person I’ve met at a doctor’s office (and practically, in life). She is so helpful, and doesn’t ever get grumpy. She even helped me figure out my insurance without giving me flack about it.
AND, just to let you know, aside from the awesome Ms. Dee, Dr. Adams is so great, she was chosen to work at this year’s Olympics (aside from many international sporting events). She works with many of the bay area professional teams, but she’s totally humble about it. If anything, it’s nice to see a doctor so excited about the work she’s doing. Thank goodness she’s still willing to help out us locals – I’d be lost without her!
