Nothing but great things happened for me when I came here. I understand my Injury because of this place, Dr. I had 2 treatments and felt the difference my second session! Within a week my injury has gone from a 9 to a 0. I recommend this place to anybody who is looking to get rid of pain ASAP and most importantly learn about your injury. Dr. Heshmat was very professional and fool of information that I would have never known had I not come here. I will be coming here for as long as I need to along with my daughter who is an athlete. Great service awesome Dr. , nice staff this place is all around AWESOME I will be thanking Dr. Heshmat for the rest of my life, for what he has Done for me!
Dr. Heshmat helped me with my jaw issues and helped me improve my neck and shoulder pain. He has different modalities and many different options for getting you feeling your best!
Dr. Heshmat is awesome. After having chronic back pain for years and using all different kinds of medications, and visiting all sorts of doctors, I came across Dr. Heshmat, who found out my flat feet and Morton's toe I have. He made me custom orthotics, and I DO NOT have any pain and discomfort ever since. Dr. Heshmat saved my life and future knee surgery. I highly recommend that you visit him at his clinic if you are in pain, especially back and knee pain. Thank you, Dr. Heshmat again.
I was referred by my occupational health department and this office is amazing! My practitioner is Mehrbod Rafia who is extremely thorough and knowledgeable. He explains everything step by step as he goes and made me feel very comfortable. The ladies at the front desk are friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this office to those in need of chiropractic care.
I had hurt my shoulders at work and developed TOS. My Employer WC paid for me to have accuscope done. I truly believe it helped me have a much better outcome than I would have had without it. Super greatful.
I came to Dr. Heshmat after I had been living with back pain for over a year. I had been to several other doctors and tried so many methods to help but nothing seemed to work. Dr. Heshmat found and fixed my issue in under three months! I couldn’t be more grateful for the work he’s done for me and I would 100% recommend Dr. Heshmat to anyone for both routine and special chiropractic services.
Dr. Heshmat fixed a problem with my back that I have had for the past ten years and that others have not been able to identify and treat successfully. I am so thankfull and glad to have found him!
Awesome place - really helped me understand my own pain and what I needed to do to get better. I am very pleased with the healing process thus far and very excited to continue my therapy. Dr. H really knows what he is doing and very thorough and detailed.
The staff were caring, professional, and knowledgeable.
I went to Dr Heshmat because he was recommended by a work colleague. I was skeptical at first because I was loyal to my chiropractor of 10+ years who no longer has a practice in the area. After my first visit, I knew I was in good hands. Dr H. was very thorough and he explained everything in detail. And After a few treatments, my horrible tailbone pain started to improve and I was so glad because dealing with tailbone pain is seriously miserable. I couldn't sit or sleep and Dr. H made it all better. I will continue to go there for maintenance because I'm a believer :) Also, the receptionist is so sweet and friendly. I love chatting with her when I'm there. Service is for sure excellent in this office. Thank you Dr. H and staff
After two sessions, the pain in my knee has reduced tremendously. I can go up and down stairs without worry. Dr. Heshmat is a problem solver and will work until the root of your pain has been taken care of.
Dr. Heshmat answers questions in detail and explains in a way that can be easily understood. He has helped with therapy sessions for my leg/foot. Im very pleased with the healing process and just booked a consultation for my lower back. Im investing in custom orthotics as I work on my feet a lot at the hospital. Just mad at myself for not knowing his services existed sooner! Be good to yourself and see him for yourself!
Words do not describe how grateful I am to have found an awesome Chiroprator, Dr Heshmat. As an active individual , I have never been injured just up to 3 months ago. I injured my right shoulder at work and after weeks of searching I finally found a great chiro. Dr Heshmat is incredibly knowledgeable, truly educated and very effective on the body and muscles. He has his way of Assessing where my muscles are tight and my circulation is blocked almost instantly ( in places where I wouldn't have guessed ) , and at the end of every session I feel and move so much better. He understands the connectivity of a body in a way I haven't experienced before. He focuses on the right areas and as he does your treatments he explains to you what he does to better understand how the body works and you leave feeling great. On top of the treatments I get for my injured shoulder he also fixes my alignment and he introduced to me a posture adjuster to help with my posture and a neck pillow which enhance alignment for a relaxing sleeping experience ( highly recommend both ). I love it :)
Dr Heshmat and his staff are very pleasant. Dr Heshmat explains the cause of the pain,treatment plan and long term maintenance. I would definitely recommend.
Dr. Heshmat and staff are great. Highly recommend visiting. Thank you!
Dr. Heshmat is awesome. He can pin point where your pain is, explain what happened to your body and get you back into shape. I trust him to always look at the body wholly versus just at the problem spot before determining proper treatment.
Dr. Heshmat has helped me in amazing ways.I can now walk without a cane!The pain in my back and legs is basically gone.I have my life back. Dr. Heshmat is especially therapeutic in approach -encouraging a very positive mind approach . This in itself is very healing. In addition the Secretary, DAISY is wonderful in adding warmth and encouragement,creating a therapeutic office. Thank you, Joanna
Dr. Heshmat has in his practice a wonderful machine called the Acuscope which is such a help in healing injuries. He and his staff are experts at using this tool to solve all kinds of ailments. I first went to see Dr. Heshmat about three or so years ago for Plantar fasciitis. His use of the Acuscope worked miracles on the pain I was suffering from and it has not returned. Unfortunately due to the rules and regulations around using this great tool, he has to also charge for a Chiropractic adjustment which can be pricey, but hey, where would I be now if I had not invested in healing the pain? Worth every penny to not be in pain and be able to walk pain free.
Dr. Heshmat has been a great help with my back pain. He spends more time listening to me and helping me explore the mechanics of the problem.

I arrived to Dr. Heshmat's pain clinic with extreme shoulder pain after suffering from an injury. The pain was excruciating - I couldn't engage with PT which I had to do post wrist surgery, I couldn't sleep and I couldn't work; I tried many things including medication, and felt quite desperate. After the 3rd Acusope treatment, I started feeling a significant relief. After the 7th treatment, the pain was gone. I proceeded to treat my forearm, and after just a couple treatments could start doing PT with no pain. I don't know why doctors do not know if this option to treat pain. Feeling very grateful for Dr. Heshmat's knowledge, compassion and thoroughness.
Dr. Heshmat is awesome! He is very knowledgeable and caring. I was having headaches and neck pains on regular basis. Dr. Heshmat adjusted my neck and treated me several times with the Electro-Acuscope and the pains disappeared!!! He took the time to patiently explain the root cause of my problem and advised me to take care of them. I wish every doctor was like him...
pain in my left arm and I was not able to move it. For two weeks after the incident, I went to several different doctors and even the hospital to try and figure out what was happening to me. No one was able to diagnose or help me until I came to Dr. Heshmat. He told me that I had degree of frozen shoulder and we began treatment. While I was getting treated I had to lay off of running for my track team. Last week, my track coach told me that my season was over because there is very few meets left in the season and that I was basically off the team. Instead of listening I fought to stay on the team and continued going to see Dr. Heshmat. Later that week on Saturday, I went to my second track meet of the season and crushed my 100 hurdle record that I had set earlier this season by 4 seconds. I got first place for the 100 hurdles in the track meet and I am now number one in the league that I run in. This wouldn’t have been possible if I hadn’t gone to Dr. Heshmat about treatment for my arm. About a month ago, I woke up with a sharp pain in my left arm and I was not able to move it.

Excellent care from Dr Heshmat's clinic ! I have 3 partial muscle tears, rotator cuff area that caused significant pain with loss of strength. Dr Heshmat's acuscope treatment perfused my injured rotator cuff with warmth on day 1 and subsequently woke up injured muscles for increased use. On day 3 , was able to tolerate laying supine rather than sitting up and was able to sleep overnight without being woken up by shoulder pain. Had months of physical therapy, without improvement and with resultant muscle spasms relaxed by the acuscope. I was initially scared of chiro adjustments but Dr Heshmat you're the best !
Dr Heshmat is very professional,and personable.His therapy has helped me a lot through my injury.I highly recommend his service.
While on a trip to Palo Alto, I woke up with pain in my neck that moved down my right arm which I had never experienced before. I got up, took a shower and move around but the pain didn't get any better. I really didn't want to spend hours in an urgent care and decided to find a clinic that could see me right away. I came across Heshmat Pain Management Clinic after a search and called them. They gave me an appointment right away and I was amazed by the staff and Dr. Heshmat. My neck pain began to go away immediately after Dr. Heshmat's adjustment. I'm very happy with my experience. If you're looking for chiropractic care in Palo Alto, I strongly recommend Dr. Heshmat at Heshmat Pain Management Clinic.
d visited Dr Heshmat in the past for a lower back pain which he fixed after only three visits, making me feel better within a week. On a separate occasion after being prescribed a round of antibiotics at my local urgent care for a sore throat, I decided to pay Dr Heshmat a visit, it turned out that it was nothing related to any kind of infection and rather an irritated neck muscle which he surfaced and treated using an acusope. He took his time listening to me and my symptoms, evaluating me and went straight to curing me, in just two visits. Best Chiropractic office ever!!!! Dr Heshmat is who you want to see! His scheduling and staff are very professional, tending to a patients needs and making you feel comfortable when you are visiting their clinic.

Heshmat pain clinic is where I go to get healthy and therapeutic treatments. It's priceless to have a doctor who actually gives a damn about you!
Dr. Heshmat is an excellent and knowledgeable chiropractor who not only focuses on the treatment, but also looks for the root of the problem. He deeply cares about his patients and is committed to healing them.
I used to have severe headaches and I tried everything including medications, therapies, meditations, and etc, Followed up with blood test, dentist, allergy test, optometrist and so on. But I finally came across to Heshmat Pain Management clinic and I was shocked that Dr. Heshmat found out the problem at the very first visit, OLD MATTRESS & WRONG SIZE PILLOW. After changing my mattress and got the right measured pillow and couple of the ELectro- Acuscope treatment, my headache is gone permanently. I highly recommend Dr. Heshmat. Thank you!
Dr. H is awesome. He is very knowledgeable and intuitive when it comes to diagnosing the issue and recommending/applying the right treatment for rapid recovery.
My daughter started going to Dr. Heshmat in February 2018 to deal with chronic daily headaches/post concussion syndrome from a whiplash related concussion she had received in April 2015. She began feeling some relief relatively quickly and by the time she went off to college in August 2018 her headaches had gone from a daily average of 7/8 to 3/4. She feels that if it wasn't for the clinic she would not have been going out of state for college.
I was referred to Dr. Heshmat by a friend on a Sunday when I was in acute pain. He was able to see me the same day! Amazing. Who does that!? I left his office 75% better when I had been barely able to walk due to a pinched nerve in my back. Successive treatments using the electro Acuscope combined with Dr. Heshmat’s perceptive eye and broad experience have restored me to an even better place than I was before I blew out my back. This is because Dr. Heshmat is not content to simply eliminate the pain. That is his first goal, of course. But he is determined to identify the root cause and provide me with the knowledge to keep myself in balance so that I do not have to come back every month for an adjustment. In my case it has been like following the clues to solve a crime - a slightly shorter leg leads to a compensating tightness and misalignment which causes additional muscles to contract and eventually cause an extreme event. He was able to see what no other practitioner has noticed. By making some lifestyle adjustments Dr. Heshmat has taught me how to maintain and extend my new level of comfort. My previous chiropractor, who had moved out of state, was very good. But Dr. Heshmat has helped me more and taught me more. I recommend him and his clinic most highly.
I really appreciate Dr Heshmat. He is very educated and highly knowledgeable about his practice. You never feel like he's brushing you off or lying to you. I trust him very much and I know he has never deceived me for my money the way most chiropractors do. He always takes extra time to answer my questions in great detail and give me the medical breakdown of my issue, even if that means running behind on his own schedule he will do it. That shows how dedicated he is to his job and actually caring to treat his patients. I've had a very difficult time finding a doctor that knew what my issues were and knew why! I'm glad I found his clinic.. I highly recommend him for any kind of pain, injury or discomfort and other issues you may have !
This was my first time going to a chiropractor and I was pleasantly surprised. As a dentist, I had developed a number of painful spots over the years due to bad position of working on patients. I had accepted pain as an old friend which visited me day and night. Finally , last week I had pain which prevented me from raising my arm and I needed to see someone to be able to continue doing my job. I had sent some patients with TMJ pain and even locked jaws to Dr. Heshmat, and they came back raving, so I reached out and asked for help. I am happy to say that I am immensely better after only two sessions. I know that it will take more sessions to take the pain away completely, so that it doesn't come back, but I am happy to go back. He uses an electric muscle stimulating tool (sorry I cannot remember the name for the life of me) which I understand is the latest technology, this rocks my boat!!! This is the first time in my 20 years practicing that I am hopeful to be pain free. Thanks for sending my old friend home Dr. Heshmat.
Alan and his team are excellent at what they do. I have had a long standing knee issue and he improved my mobility so much that i don't need the surgery recommended by my doctor. I still have the issue but i can now manage it and exercise relatively pain free because of the treatment i received. I am so grateful to have found this clinic.
I have had such a wonderful experience here. Very welcoming and willing to work with my schedule to make appointments. Office staff is very friendly. Dr. Heshmat is very knowledgeable and very willing to explain the entire process. Not your average chiropractor. So much more. Providing treatments not available at most other offices. My ankle is finally feeling much better thanks to Dr. Heshmat! You won't be disappointed if you come here with an open mind and a willingness to try.
Incredible experience! I was on a desperate search for someone to help me because other practitioners were telling me I was fine and that I should just stop favoring my left side. I'd lost my quality of life to pain and it seemed like no matter what I did, I was just making things worse. Thankfully, Dr. H uses a lot of great therapies that got to the root of my issues: Electro-acuscope, Shockwave Therapy, and custom orthotics to name a few! He also referred me to a physical therapist which made a world of difference in addition to the treatments. She agreed it was better that I saw him first when I kept exclaiming that I didn't have so much range of motion just a few weeks ago. I'm feeling 20 years younger and so grateful for the help!
I was referred to Dr. Heshmat for a worker's comp injury and I have to say I am super impressed! Dr. Heshmat & his team are always welcoming with a smile, very friendly and incredibly competent. Dr. Heshmat has been treating my knee/leg with the electro- acuscope and I've seen more progress in 2 months than I did in 4 months of physical therapy. I will be seekng additional out of pocket treatment for my neck & shoulders because they do such a great job here. Highly recommend!
Dr. Heshmat and his staff are amazing. He helped fix my back pain when traditional doctors were completely unhelpful. He is very thorough, and takes a lot of time to listen to all of your concerns and to do a full work-up. His knowledge about the body is unparalleled! And, his assistant Sylvana is a true gem. She is kind, friendly, and professional. I'll never work with anyone else again!
Nothing but great things happened for me when I came here. I understand my Injury because of this place, Dr. I had 2 treatments and felt the difference my second session! Within a week my injury has gone from a 9 to a 0. I recommend this place to anybody who is looking to get rid of pain ASAP and most importantly learn about your injury. Dr. Heshmat was very professional and fool of information that I would have never known had I not come here. I will be coming here for as long as I need to along with my daughter who is an athlete. Great service awesome Dr. , nice staff this place is all around AWESOME I will be thanking Dr. Heshmat for the rest of my life, for what he has Done for me!
I'm a typical Bay Area software engineer, and as such, I sit front of my computer all day, work long hours, and spend way too much of my away-from-computer time hunched over, staring at my phone.My bad habits and posture over the years have caused a gradual onset of chronic upper back, shoulder and neck pain. For several months, I could not find a comfortable sitting position, spent a bunch of time with chiropractors/massage therapists, and took painkillers daily to manage my pain.I am currently receiving pain treatment from Dr. Heshmat, and it has worked wonders. The chronic pain is going away, and Dr. Heshmat has also recommended several lifestyle changes and exercises that should help me maintain my upper back health going forward.I highly recommend seeing Dr. Heshmat if you have chronic pain issues. You should start seeing a difference even after the first session.
I have been receiving treatment from Dr. Heshmat on my injured knee for about 2 months now. In those two months I have seen and felt more progress toward healing than I did in four months of physical therapy somewhere else. The Accuscope he uses does miracle work! Dr. Heshmat is kind, super knowledgable, and is helping me understand how I could be doing things, like walking & stretching, differently to help my body instead of staying in an injured state. He and Silvana are so friendly, always asking how my day was, plans for the weekend etc. I feel like I know them personally now, and I completely trust them. During treatment one day I started telling Dr. Heshmat about my my chronic neck/shoulder/jaw/head pain and he immediately knew what was going on and explained how he could help! It wasn't a hard sell either, he was just sharing how his expertise, equipment and therapies could help me. Even if insurance doesn't cover it, I plan to pay out of pocket to continue getting help from Dr. Heshmat!
Dr.heshmat is such a great doctor. He treated my upper and lower back on 2 different occasions and both times he did a great job and I left with my back feeling 10 times better. he gave me accurate and good information to take care of my back. Also Sevana, who sits at the front desk, is very nice and makes this office run smoothly. I highly recommend anyone to come to this office for their chiropractic needs because dr. H and Sevana are great.
Great Dr. Best treatments changing your life by best treatments and machine working with the newest technology
About a couple of months ago, I went to see Dr. Heshman for pain relief. He doesn't only concentrate in relieving your pain but also helps you to avoid pain in the future. Up until now, I haven't had the need to go back and see him again but I will always be thankful for his great service.
I started going to Dr. Heshmat about two weeks ago when I had an incredibly bad backache. It's kind of been a chronic issue, and has flared up once before in the past that nearly had me bed-ridden. I did NOT want to get to that state, especially with two out of town vacations coming up two weekends in a row, one of which being a bachelorette party to Vegas. I work in healthcare, constantly hunched over to do my work and Dr. Heshmat was recommended to me by a patient of mine. So when my back flared up, I had my administrative assistant call and schedule me with one of three referrals. Dr. Heshmat's office was the only one that could get me in for same-day treatment, and it was even on a day that they're not typically open! When I walked in, I was greeted professionally and was well taken care of by everyone on staff. Dr. Heshmat was easy to talk to, and let me tell you, the guy doesn't sugar coat. He told me that my back ache is primarily due to my lack of stretching and exercising, and basically told me I have a body of a 65 year old (I'm 32), and if I don't take care of my body now, essentially I will have to retire early because my body wouldn't be able to handle it. He took the time to explain to me what would happen in the future, the exact reason why I have back pain now (muscles too tight and pulling my hips and spine out of alignment), and got me treated. I can see that Dr. Heshmat genuinely cares and wants to get me out of pain ASAP and doesn't want this condition to relapse. I've been to a few chiropractors before, and they always just shuttled me in and out, treated my pain, and that was it. Never told me how to prevent it, never took the time to explain why this is happening, etc. I truly appreciate Dr. Heshmat and his staff in bending over backwards to take care of my needs, and getting me out of pain so efficiently and effectively!
Having a pinched sciatic nerve, I was barley able to walk. Within two weeks of treatment at the Heshmat Pain Management Clinic the nerve was released and continued visits have aligned my spine.. I am free of pain am enjoying my new lease on life. The Heshmat doctors Nasim and Alan are very knowledgeable in their field and the staff are truly concerned for your overall wellness to thank for addressing my numerous issues .
I have been going to the Heshmat Pain Management clinic as of February. I had a slip and fall down a flight of stairs and the stairs won. I was black and blue, limped with pain, had lost feeling in my fingers and arm, it was ugly painful fall. Dr. Heshmat started with a basic treatment to measure and ease the pain, it was like magic. I could not believe how much better I felt after the first visit! I really didn't know if this was going to work and to my surprise it did amazingly.During my third visit, it was recommended to change my sleeping pillow to assist with the healing of the neck, which was sore and difficult to turn. And like most overworked people I have TMJ and have been know to crack and break my teeth at night from grinding. I tried the pillow the first night with some joking from husband, but the next morning I awoke to no pain in my jaw and less pain in my neck from the fall. It took me a few nights to adjust to the pillow, but now I sleep with the proper support under my neck which allows me to stop grinding my teeth a night and wake up refreshed with the additional head and neck support.The staff is amazing, knowledgable and down right friendly. I have never received such wonderful customer service in Palo Alto in many, many years.
OMG my jaw doesn't hurt today!!!!! Hands down the most efficacious thing I've ever found for TMJ and muscular tightness (chronic, painful muscular issues). I'm extremely impressed. I've tried massage, night splints, acupuncture. All have been helpful but this is orders of magnitude more effective.
I have never posted a review on Yelp before but I have had such great service at Heshmat that I had to write a review. I have been seeing Toma, who is a massage therapist there, for over 6 months. I had extreme knee pain and went to see a specialist who recommended I stay off my knee. Toma thought it may be my IT band and she was correct. I have absolutely no knee pain. She has also helped me with shoulder, neck, and back issues from being on the computer. She really listens to your concerns and addresses your needs accordingly. I always feel so relaxed, pain free and ready to go back to work again after seeing Toma.
I get my treatments here, does that say something? Yes that's because I have an amazing team of professionals working with me and without my team It would be impossible.
Dr. Nasim Gorgani and Dr. Alen Heshmat are both professional and friendly. They listen and work hard to provide the therapeutic results to restore health. I went in feeling tightness in my neck after sleepless nights and stress at work and obtain very relieving chiropractic treatment. I will go back and highly recommend this practice to everyone.
The best Chiroprator i ever had. Do see them.
I've been going to Heshmat Pain Management clinic for several years, initially for acupressure massage with Minal Patel and now for chiropractic massage with Toma due to an insurance change. Both therapists are amazing and I would highly recommend them, especially if your insurance covers the visits. Toma is extremely skilled and knows how to treat my pain points i.e. shoulder, neck, back, shin splints. I won't even go to a spa for a massage anymore because very few therapists are as effective. I love coming to this clinic for my treatments and would highly recommend them!
I received acupuncture treatment from Minal Patel and had a massage therapy session with Toma. They both did an excellent job and Minal really took the time to understand what my specific issues were and tailor her acupuncture treatment to relieve some of the stress and pain I was feeling. It was the most relaxing acupuncture session I have had and I am definitely coming back again for some more treatments. Toma did an excellent job in focusing on my pain point areas and I felt very relaxed during and after the session.
They're healers, not a business. Latest in technology and knowledge. The electropulse and acuscope are not painful; you just need to tell him to go a little lighter. The doctors (both Heshmat) take a lot of time to listen.Their massage therapists are wonderful. Toma is very intuitive, sensitive, intelligent, and knowledgeable and Amalia has acupressure and acupuncture experience and is also sensitive.
The best experience ever for pain and Servic !!!
I've been seeing Toma for massages at Heshmat for 6 months and have been loving them. She is skilled, friendly and wise! The office staff is efficient and friendly. I've been to several other clinics for massages and this is by far the best at scheduling, creating a peaceful and simple environment. The receptionist is always welcoming and my massage is always on time. I've seen other massage therapists there and have been highly satisfied.
This is the best chiropractic office i have been. The Electro-acuscope's high degree of effectiveness in non-invasive pain relief and promotion of healing is based upon a series of electric and electromagnetic manipulations of the patient's tissues. Awesome machine! anyway the doctor is great and down to earth. i really like this place
Had one of the best massages ever here today. The woman who massaged was professional and clearly understand muscle groups and pressure. She used lotion and was careful not to get in my hair. Lighting, music and ambiance were great. Will return!
I had an appointment at Heshmat last week. I was impressed with the service. Specifically I was happy with the focused attention that I got towards an old injury (hamstring) and careful adjustments I got for my neck and back. Overall, I would definitely recommend Heshmat as a chiropractic or pain management clinic and will look forward to coming back here.
Today I came here for my 3rd acupuncture session with Minal Patel. It's great to be able to get chiropractic, acupuncture, and massage here in the same clinic, all covered within my insurance plan for chiropractic care.My first 2 acupuncture sessions here this past month were to focus on some tightness and minor pain in my lower back and arms/wrists, as I do a lot of physical work as a massage therapist and marathon runner (both help me with my endurance).For those 2 sessions Minal applied needles in my neck and shoulders, lower back, wrists, and ankles. She also applied cupping to my upper back and lower back which was interesting - strong suction, like the opposite of massage but similar effects.Today I had some acupuncture applied to my face - right jaw, ears, ankles, wrists, and hands, to help with some pain in my jaw and hands, as I massaged a client with TMJ earlier this week, and maybe I inherited some of her pain...? No cupping today.The acupuncture here seems good. My pain seems to have gone down afterwards or recurrence is much smaller. My first experience with acupuncture last year was a little painful as one of the needles hit me with sharp pain in the hand; other needs were OK. That was at Five Branches in San Jose. But here it's not that painful. The needles are small so I just feel a small sting from each one, less painful that a typical blood draw or a blood donation needle, which I'm used to every month.The nice thing here is that I can try acupuncture, massage, and chiro, and mix them all together to be able to help myself in different ways, as the body reacts differently to each type of treatment.
Dr Heshman is not all about signing u up for a bunch of visits he wants to see you and cure you and then let you live a life that is free of pain. he's got a great style with patients and great tools to help diagnose the cause of pain and he knows the best way to treat you for maximum results. ive used him several times and can recommend him without any concern. Great guy and super cool staff too!
Today was day three of a migraine that my regular doctors and meds couldn't get rid of. Thank goodness one of my nurses recommended acupuncture to me yesterday. I went to the heshmat clinic today for my first ever acupuncture treatment. I felt better right away and I've been relaxing at home, pain and drug free, ever since. I'm going again the day after tomorrow. This place is great.
the best pain management place i have ever been in. Caring, knowledgeable and honest staff. Highly recommend it.
Friendly and professional. Having a great deal of experience with many different Chiropractors I can say Dr. Heshmat is one of the best. He takes a real holistic and consultative approach to making you feel better. If you need a Chiropractor I would give him a try.
REMARKABLE! I suffer from severe back pains and sciatica from a herniated disk after carrying twins almost full term... The chiropractors at this office are so knowledgeable and helpful. I always feel comfortable and confident when leaving their appointment. I had never been in more pain than before I saw them for the first time- After their treatment with the TENS unit, etc- I felt instant relief! They also ordered me a special pillow for my chronic neck pains I used to have. Since then the pain in my neck has not returned. Occasionally, I will have pesky back pains, but after a visit or two with them, I am good as new. I really appreciate the time they take to give me advice and make sure I understand my injury so I can continue to heal properly. Seriously thankful I found them and very glad for the referral. They came highly recommended to me and I tend to do the same in return- starting w/ this yelp message! Thank you, Dr. Heshmats! Thank you so much!
I have been to Heshmat Pain Management Clinic a few times. I have been very pleased and definitely recommend going here. The massage therapist I recommend is, Jaime. I never have to tell her where my problems are because she can tell by the way I walk/stand. The over all atmosphere is very pleasant and every one was very professional and welcoming.
I called last week with severe neck pain. I couldn't hold my head up at work. I was able to get squeezed in that afternoon. Thankfully! I am always impressed when I come here which is about 1-2 times a year as they are so results oriented. All I need to do is present the problem and they take care of the rest. I always get a detailed explanation as to the nature of the problem, how it could have arisen and clear instructions on what to do once I get home. There is no pressure to return for multiple visits especially if the problem is remedied. It always is! This most recent visit Dr. Heshmat (Mrs.) treated me. She was friendly, upbeat and so responsive. Thanks to you for letting me enjoy my kids and my weekend pain free! You all are amazing.
i am really happy with the Heshmat pain Management clinic , Adria Amenti has really helped me with Acupuncture . Dr h has been very helpful with making the pain i was in to go away. thank you all for all your help. if i could give you ten stars i would.
I was recommended to the clinic because of excessive migraines that my general Dr. could not fix...other than pain medications. My migraines were so bad that they got to the point where I would vomit uncontrollably...randomly like in my car. Way not normal. After suffering from migraines for about 15 years and over a year of excessive ones in just ONE visit with Dr. H and Melanie I am migraine free!!!! I do go back and see them for follow ups but just routine - I have not had a single headache or migraine. The entire clinic is great, very informative and helpful!
Heshmat Pain Management has been a real life-saver for me! I came to them with chronic hip and lower back pain which I had been living with for several years. After 4-5 treatments, the pain had subsided SUBSTANTIALLY. I was able to stop taking medication (first Neurontin, then just Advil) and get back to exercising regularly. I have been basically pain-free for well over a year now. When I do have a flare-up, I go in for one treatment and am usually "good to go". I have never felt pressured to schedule additional visits. And while their fee is a little higher than a typical chiropractor, I have to go in much less frequently. In addition to the accuscope treatment, they also do traditional chiropractic adjustments, which is sometimes what is needed. Alan and Letitia Heshmat are wonderfully skilled and caring docs. I highly recommend them!
Dr. H is very skilled. I saw my previous chiropractor for years without any improvement. Dr. H has been able to treat my chronic neck prain (& whatever else happens to fall out of alignment from there) in a minimal amount of sessions. I live in San Mateo and am willing to make the drive to Palo Alto to see Dr. H! Congrats on your new location!
Nothing but great things happened for me when I came here. I understand my Injury because of this place, Dr. I had 2 treatments and felt the difference my second session! Within a week my injury has gone from a 9 to a 0. I recommend this place to anybody who is looking to get rid of pain ASAP and most importantly learn about your injury. Dr. Heshmat was very professional and fool of information that I would have never known had I not come here. I will be coming here for as long as I need to along with my daughter who is an athlete. Great service awesome Dr. , nice staff this place is all around AWESOME I will be thanking Dr. Heshmat for the rest of my life, for what he has Done for me!
Dr. Heshmat helped me with my jaw issues and helped me improve my neck and shoulder pain. He has different modalities and many different options for getting you feeling your best!
Dr. Heshmat is awesome. After having chronic back pain for years and using all different kinds of medications, and visiting all sorts of doctors, I came across Dr. Heshmat, who found out my flat feet and Morton's toe I have. He made me custom orthotics, and I DO NOT have any pain and discomfort ever since. Dr. Heshmat saved my life and future knee surgery. I highly recommend that you visit him at his clinic if you are in pain, especially back and knee pain. Thank you, Dr. Heshmat again.
I was referred by my occupational health department and this office is amazing! My practitioner is Mehrbod Rafia who is extremely thorough and knowledgeable. He explains everything step by step as he goes and made me feel very comfortable. The ladies at the front desk are friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this office to those in need of chiropractic care.
I had hurt my shoulders at work and developed TOS. My Employer WC paid for me to have accuscope done. I truly believe it helped me have a much better outcome than I would have had without it. Super greatful.
I came to Dr. Heshmat after I had been living with back pain for over a year. I had been to several other doctors and tried so many methods to help but nothing seemed to work. Dr. Heshmat found and fixed my issue in under three months! I couldn’t be more grateful for the work he’s done for me and I would 100% recommend Dr. Heshmat to anyone for both routine and special chiropractic services.
Dr. Heshmat fixed a problem with my back that I have had for the past ten years and that others have not been able to identify and treat successfully. I am so thankfull and glad to have found him!
Awesome place - really helped me understand my own pain and what I needed to do to get better. I am very pleased with the healing process thus far and very excited to continue my therapy. Dr. H really knows what he is doing and very thorough and detailed.
The staff were caring, professional, and knowledgeable.
I went to Dr Heshmat because he was recommended by a work colleague. I was skeptical at first because I was loyal to my chiropractor of 10+ years who no longer has a practice in the area. After my first visit, I knew I was in good hands. Dr H. was very thorough and he explained everything in detail. And After a few treatments, my horrible tailbone pain started to improve and I was so glad because dealing with tailbone pain is seriously miserable. I couldn't sit or sleep and Dr. H made it all better. I will continue to go there for maintenance because I'm a believer :) Also, the receptionist is so sweet and friendly. I love chatting with her when I'm there. Service is for sure excellent in this office. Thank you Dr. H and staff
After two sessions, the pain in my knee has reduced tremendously. I can go up and down stairs without worry. Dr. Heshmat is a problem solver and will work until the root of your pain has been taken care of.
Dr. Heshmat answers questions in detail and explains in a way that can be easily understood. He has helped with therapy sessions for my leg/foot. Im very pleased with the healing process and just booked a consultation for my lower back. Im investing in custom orthotics as I work on my feet a lot at the hospital. Just mad at myself for not knowing his services existed sooner! Be good to yourself and see him for yourself!
Words do not describe how grateful I am to have found an awesome Chiroprator, Dr Heshmat. As an active individual , I have never been injured just up to 3 months ago. I injured my right shoulder at work and after weeks of searching I finally found a great chiro. Dr Heshmat is incredibly knowledgeable, truly educated and very effective on the body and muscles. He has his way of Assessing where my muscles are tight and my circulation is blocked almost instantly ( in places where I wouldn't have guessed ) , and at the end of every session I feel and move so much better. He understands the connectivity of a body in a way I haven't experienced before. He focuses on the right areas and as he does your treatments he explains to you what he does to better understand how the body works and you leave feeling great. On top of the treatments I get for my injured shoulder he also fixes my alignment and he introduced to me a posture adjuster to help with my posture and a neck pillow which enhance alignment for a relaxing sleeping experience ( highly recommend both ). I love it :)
Dr Heshmat and his staff are very pleasant. Dr Heshmat explains the cause of the pain,treatment plan and long term maintenance. I would definitely recommend.
Dr. Heshmat and staff are great. Highly recommend visiting. Thank you!
Dr. Heshmat is awesome. He can pin point where your pain is, explain what happened to your body and get you back into shape. I trust him to always look at the body wholly versus just at the problem spot before determining proper treatment.
Dr. Heshmat has helped me in amazing ways.I can now walk without a cane!The pain in my back and legs is basically gone.I have my life back. Dr. Heshmat is especially therapeutic in approach -encouraging a very positive mind approach . This in itself is very healing. In addition the Secretary, DAISY is wonderful in adding warmth and encouragement,creating a therapeutic office. Thank you, Joanna
Dr. Heshmat has in his practice a wonderful machine called the Acuscope which is such a help in healing injuries. He and his staff are experts at using this tool to solve all kinds of ailments. I first went to see Dr. Heshmat about three or so years ago for Plantar fasciitis. His use of the Acuscope worked miracles on the pain I was suffering from and it has not returned. Unfortunately due to the rules and regulations around using this great tool, he has to also charge for a Chiropractic adjustment which can be pricey, but hey, where would I be now if I had not invested in healing the pain? Worth every penny to not be in pain and be able to walk pain free.
Dr. Heshmat has been a great help with my back pain. He spends more time listening to me and helping me explore the mechanics of the problem.

I arrived to Dr. Heshmat's pain clinic with extreme shoulder pain after suffering from an injury. The pain was excruciating - I couldn't engage with PT which I had to do post wrist surgery, I couldn't sleep and I couldn't work; I tried many things including medication, and felt quite desperate. After the 3rd Acusope treatment, I started feeling a significant relief. After the 7th treatment, the pain was gone. I proceeded to treat my forearm, and after just a couple treatments could start doing PT with no pain. I don't know why doctors do not know if this option to treat pain. Feeling very grateful for Dr. Heshmat's knowledge, compassion and thoroughness.
Dr. Heshmat is awesome! He is very knowledgeable and caring. I was having headaches and neck pains on regular basis. Dr. Heshmat adjusted my neck and treated me several times with the Electro-Acuscope and the pains disappeared!!! He took the time to patiently explain the root cause of my problem and advised me to take care of them. I wish every doctor was like him...
pain in my left arm and I was not able to move it. For two weeks after the incident, I went to several different doctors and even the hospital to try and figure out what was happening to me. No one was able to diagnose or help me until I came to Dr. Heshmat. He told me that I had degree of frozen shoulder and we began treatment. While I was getting treated I had to lay off of running for my track team. Last week, my track coach told me that my season was over because there is very few meets left in the season and that I was basically off the team. Instead of listening I fought to stay on the team and continued going to see Dr. Heshmat. Later that week on Saturday, I went to my second track meet of the season and crushed my 100 hurdle record that I had set earlier this season by 4 seconds. I got first place for the 100 hurdles in the track meet and I am now number one in the league that I run in. This wouldn’t have been possible if I hadn’t gone to Dr. Heshmat about treatment for my arm. About a month ago, I woke up with a sharp pain in my left arm and I was not able to move it.

Excellent care from Dr Heshmat's clinic ! I have 3 partial muscle tears, rotator cuff area that caused significant pain with loss of strength. Dr Heshmat's acuscope treatment perfused my injured rotator cuff with warmth on day 1 and subsequently woke up injured muscles for increased use. On day 3 , was able to tolerate laying supine rather than sitting up and was able to sleep overnight without being woken up by shoulder pain. Had months of physical therapy, without improvement and with resultant muscle spasms relaxed by the acuscope. I was initially scared of chiro adjustments but Dr Heshmat you're the best !
Dr Heshmat is very professional,and personable.His therapy has helped me a lot through my injury.I highly recommend his service.
While on a trip to Palo Alto, I woke up with pain in my neck that moved down my right arm which I had never experienced before. I got up, took a shower and move around but the pain didn't get any better. I really didn't want to spend hours in an urgent care and decided to find a clinic that could see me right away. I came across Heshmat Pain Management Clinic after a search and called them. They gave me an appointment right away and I was amazed by the staff and Dr. Heshmat. My neck pain began to go away immediately after Dr. Heshmat's adjustment. I'm very happy with my experience. If you're looking for chiropractic care in Palo Alto, I strongly recommend Dr. Heshmat at Heshmat Pain Management Clinic.
d visited Dr Heshmat in the past for a lower back pain which he fixed after only three visits, making me feel better within a week. On a separate occasion after being prescribed a round of antibiotics at my local urgent care for a sore throat, I decided to pay Dr Heshmat a visit, it turned out that it was nothing related to any kind of infection and rather an irritated neck muscle which he surfaced and treated using an acusope. He took his time listening to me and my symptoms, evaluating me and went straight to curing me, in just two visits. Best Chiropractic office ever!!!! Dr Heshmat is who you want to see! His scheduling and staff are very professional, tending to a patients needs and making you feel comfortable when you are visiting their clinic.

Heshmat pain clinic is where I go to get healthy and therapeutic treatments. It's priceless to have a doctor who actually gives a damn about you!
Dr. Heshmat is an excellent and knowledgeable chiropractor who not only focuses on the treatment, but also looks for the root of the problem. He deeply cares about his patients and is committed to healing them.
I used to have severe headaches and I tried everything including medications, therapies, meditations, and etc, Followed up with blood test, dentist, allergy test, optometrist and so on. But I finally came across to Heshmat Pain Management clinic and I was shocked that Dr. Heshmat found out the problem at the very first visit, OLD MATTRESS & WRONG SIZE PILLOW. After changing my mattress and got the right measured pillow and couple of the ELectro- Acuscope treatment, my headache is gone permanently. I highly recommend Dr. Heshmat. Thank you!
Dr. H is awesome. He is very knowledgeable and intuitive when it comes to diagnosing the issue and recommending/applying the right treatment for rapid recovery.
My daughter started going to Dr. Heshmat in February 2018 to deal with chronic daily headaches/post concussion syndrome from a whiplash related concussion she had received in April 2015. She began feeling some relief relatively quickly and by the time she went off to college in August 2018 her headaches had gone from a daily average of 7/8 to 3/4. She feels that if it wasn't for the clinic she would not have been going out of state for college.
I was referred to Dr. Heshmat by a friend on a Sunday when I was in acute pain. He was able to see me the same day! Amazing. Who does that!? I left his office 75% better when I had been barely able to walk due to a pinched nerve in my back. Successive treatments using the electro Acuscope combined with Dr. Heshmat’s perceptive eye and broad experience have restored me to an even better place than I was before I blew out my back. This is because Dr. Heshmat is not content to simply eliminate the pain. That is his first goal, of course. But he is determined to identify the root cause and provide me with the knowledge to keep myself in balance so that I do not have to come back every month for an adjustment. In my case it has been like following the clues to solve a crime - a slightly shorter leg leads to a compensating tightness and misalignment which causes additional muscles to contract and eventually cause an extreme event. He was able to see what no other practitioner has noticed. By making some lifestyle adjustments Dr. Heshmat has taught me how to maintain and extend my new level of comfort. My previous chiropractor, who had moved out of state, was very good. But Dr. Heshmat has helped me more and taught me more. I recommend him and his clinic most highly.
I really appreciate Dr Heshmat. He is very educated and highly knowledgeable about his practice. You never feel like he's brushing you off or lying to you. I trust him very much and I know he has never deceived me for my money the way most chiropractors do. He always takes extra time to answer my questions in great detail and give me the medical breakdown of my issue, even if that means running behind on his own schedule he will do it. That shows how dedicated he is to his job and actually caring to treat his patients. I've had a very difficult time finding a doctor that knew what my issues were and knew why! I'm glad I found his clinic.. I highly recommend him for any kind of pain, injury or discomfort and other issues you may have !
This was my first time going to a chiropractor and I was pleasantly surprised. As a dentist, I had developed a number of painful spots over the years due to bad position of working on patients. I had accepted pain as an old friend which visited me day and night. Finally , last week I had pain which prevented me from raising my arm and I needed to see someone to be able to continue doing my job. I had sent some patients with TMJ pain and even locked jaws to Dr. Heshmat, and they came back raving, so I reached out and asked for help. I am happy to say that I am immensely better after only two sessions. I know that it will take more sessions to take the pain away completely, so that it doesn't come back, but I am happy to go back. He uses an electric muscle stimulating tool (sorry I cannot remember the name for the life of me) which I understand is the latest technology, this rocks my boat!!! This is the first time in my 20 years practicing that I am hopeful to be pain free. Thanks for sending my old friend home Dr. Heshmat.
Alan and his team are excellent at what they do. I have had a long standing knee issue and he improved my mobility so much that i don't need the surgery recommended by my doctor. I still have the issue but i can now manage it and exercise relatively pain free because of the treatment i received. I am so grateful to have found this clinic.
I have had such a wonderful experience here. Very welcoming and willing to work with my schedule to make appointments. Office staff is very friendly. Dr. Heshmat is very knowledgeable and very willing to explain the entire process. Not your average chiropractor. So much more. Providing treatments not available at most other offices. My ankle is finally feeling much better thanks to Dr. Heshmat! You won't be disappointed if you come here with an open mind and a willingness to try.
Incredible experience! I was on a desperate search for someone to help me because other practitioners were telling me I was fine and that I should just stop favoring my left side. I'd lost my quality of life to pain and it seemed like no matter what I did, I was just making things worse. Thankfully, Dr. H uses a lot of great therapies that got to the root of my issues: Electro-acuscope, Shockwave Therapy, and custom orthotics to name a few! He also referred me to a physical therapist which made a world of difference in addition to the treatments. She agreed it was better that I saw him first when I kept exclaiming that I didn't have so much range of motion just a few weeks ago. I'm feeling 20 years younger and so grateful for the help!
I was referred to Dr. Heshmat for a worker's comp injury and I have to say I am super impressed! Dr. Heshmat & his team are always welcoming with a smile, very friendly and incredibly competent. Dr. Heshmat has been treating my knee/leg with the electro- acuscope and I've seen more progress in 2 months than I did in 4 months of physical therapy. I will be seekng additional out of pocket treatment for my neck & shoulders because they do such a great job here. Highly recommend!
Dr. Heshmat and his staff are amazing. He helped fix my back pain when traditional doctors were completely unhelpful. He is very thorough, and takes a lot of time to listen to all of your concerns and to do a full work-up. His knowledge about the body is unparalleled! And, his assistant Sylvana is a true gem. She is kind, friendly, and professional. I'll never work with anyone else again!
Nothing but great things happened for me when I came here. I understand my Injury because of this place, Dr. I had 2 treatments and felt the difference my second session! Within a week my injury has gone from a 9 to a 0. I recommend this place to anybody who is looking to get rid of pain ASAP and most importantly learn about your injury. Dr. Heshmat was very professional and fool of information that I would have never known had I not come here. I will be coming here for as long as I need to along with my daughter who is an athlete. Great service awesome Dr. , nice staff this place is all around AWESOME I will be thanking Dr. Heshmat for the rest of my life, for what he has Done for me!
I'm a typical Bay Area software engineer, and as such, I sit front of my computer all day, work long hours, and spend way too much of my away-from-computer time hunched over, staring at my phone.My bad habits and posture over the years have caused a gradual onset of chronic upper back, shoulder and neck pain. For several months, I could not find a comfortable sitting position, spent a bunch of time with chiropractors/massage therapists, and took painkillers daily to manage my pain.I am currently receiving pain treatment from Dr. Heshmat, and it has worked wonders. The chronic pain is going away, and Dr. Heshmat has also recommended several lifestyle changes and exercises that should help me maintain my upper back health going forward.I highly recommend seeing Dr. Heshmat if you have chronic pain issues. You should start seeing a difference even after the first session.
I have been receiving treatment from Dr. Heshmat on my injured knee for about 2 months now. In those two months I have seen and felt more progress toward healing than I did in four months of physical therapy somewhere else. The Accuscope he uses does miracle work! Dr. Heshmat is kind, super knowledgable, and is helping me understand how I could be doing things, like walking & stretching, differently to help my body instead of staying in an injured state. He and Silvana are so friendly, always asking how my day was, plans for the weekend etc. I feel like I know them personally now, and I completely trust them. During treatment one day I started telling Dr. Heshmat about my my chronic neck/shoulder/jaw/head pain and he immediately knew what was going on and explained how he could help! It wasn't a hard sell either, he was just sharing how his expertise, equipment and therapies could help me. Even if insurance doesn't cover it, I plan to pay out of pocket to continue getting help from Dr. Heshmat!
Dr.heshmat is such a great doctor. He treated my upper and lower back on 2 different occasions and both times he did a great job and I left with my back feeling 10 times better. he gave me accurate and good information to take care of my back. Also Sevana, who sits at the front desk, is very nice and makes this office run smoothly. I highly recommend anyone to come to this office for their chiropractic needs because dr. H and Sevana are great.
Great Dr. Best treatments changing your life by best treatments and machine working with the newest technology
About a couple of months ago, I went to see Dr. Heshman for pain relief. He doesn't only concentrate in relieving your pain but also helps you to avoid pain in the future. Up until now, I haven't had the need to go back and see him again but I will always be thankful for his great service.
I started going to Dr. Heshmat about two weeks ago when I had an incredibly bad backache. It's kind of been a chronic issue, and has flared up once before in the past that nearly had me bed-ridden. I did NOT want to get to that state, especially with two out of town vacations coming up two weekends in a row, one of which being a bachelorette party to Vegas. I work in healthcare, constantly hunched over to do my work and Dr. Heshmat was recommended to me by a patient of mine. So when my back flared up, I had my administrative assistant call and schedule me with one of three referrals. Dr. Heshmat's office was the only one that could get me in for same-day treatment, and it was even on a day that they're not typically open! When I walked in, I was greeted professionally and was well taken care of by everyone on staff. Dr. Heshmat was easy to talk to, and let me tell you, the guy doesn't sugar coat. He told me that my back ache is primarily due to my lack of stretching and exercising, and basically told me I have a body of a 65 year old (I'm 32), and if I don't take care of my body now, essentially I will have to retire early because my body wouldn't be able to handle it. He took the time to explain to me what would happen in the future, the exact reason why I have back pain now (muscles too tight and pulling my hips and spine out of alignment), and got me treated. I can see that Dr. Heshmat genuinely cares and wants to get me out of pain ASAP and doesn't want this condition to relapse. I've been to a few chiropractors before, and they always just shuttled me in and out, treated my pain, and that was it. Never told me how to prevent it, never took the time to explain why this is happening, etc. I truly appreciate Dr. Heshmat and his staff in bending over backwards to take care of my needs, and getting me out of pain so efficiently and effectively!
Having a pinched sciatic nerve, I was barley able to walk. Within two weeks of treatment at the Heshmat Pain Management Clinic the nerve was released and continued visits have aligned my spine.. I am free of pain am enjoying my new lease on life. The Heshmat doctors Nasim and Alan are very knowledgeable in their field and the staff are truly concerned for your overall wellness to thank for addressing my numerous issues .
I have been going to the Heshmat Pain Management clinic as of February. I had a slip and fall down a flight of stairs and the stairs won. I was black and blue, limped with pain, had lost feeling in my fingers and arm, it was ugly painful fall. Dr. Heshmat started with a basic treatment to measure and ease the pain, it was like magic. I could not believe how much better I felt after the first visit! I really didn't know if this was going to work and to my surprise it did amazingly.During my third visit, it was recommended to change my sleeping pillow to assist with the healing of the neck, which was sore and difficult to turn. And like most overworked people I have TMJ and have been know to crack and break my teeth at night from grinding. I tried the pillow the first night with some joking from husband, but the next morning I awoke to no pain in my jaw and less pain in my neck from the fall. It took me a few nights to adjust to the pillow, but now I sleep with the proper support under my neck which allows me to stop grinding my teeth a night and wake up refreshed with the additional head and neck support.The staff is amazing, knowledgable and down right friendly. I have never received such wonderful customer service in Palo Alto in many, many years.
OMG my jaw doesn't hurt today!!!!! Hands down the most efficacious thing I've ever found for TMJ and muscular tightness (chronic, painful muscular issues). I'm extremely impressed. I've tried massage, night splints, acupuncture. All have been helpful but this is orders of magnitude more effective.
I have never posted a review on Yelp before but I have had such great service at Heshmat that I had to write a review. I have been seeing Toma, who is a massage therapist there, for over 6 months. I had extreme knee pain and went to see a specialist who recommended I stay off my knee. Toma thought it may be my IT band and she was correct. I have absolutely no knee pain. She has also helped me with shoulder, neck, and back issues from being on the computer. She really listens to your concerns and addresses your needs accordingly. I always feel so relaxed, pain free and ready to go back to work again after seeing Toma.
I get my treatments here, does that say something? Yes that's because I have an amazing team of professionals working with me and without my team It would be impossible.
Dr. Nasim Gorgani and Dr. Alen Heshmat are both professional and friendly. They listen and work hard to provide the therapeutic results to restore health. I went in feeling tightness in my neck after sleepless nights and stress at work and obtain very relieving chiropractic treatment. I will go back and highly recommend this practice to everyone.
The best Chiroprator i ever had. Do see them.
I've been going to Heshmat Pain Management clinic for several years, initially for acupressure massage with Minal Patel and now for chiropractic massage with Toma due to an insurance change. Both therapists are amazing and I would highly recommend them, especially if your insurance covers the visits. Toma is extremely skilled and knows how to treat my pain points i.e. shoulder, neck, back, shin splints. I won't even go to a spa for a massage anymore because very few therapists are as effective. I love coming to this clinic for my treatments and would highly recommend them!
I received acupuncture treatment from Minal Patel and had a massage therapy session with Toma. They both did an excellent job and Minal really took the time to understand what my specific issues were and tailor her acupuncture treatment to relieve some of the stress and pain I was feeling. It was the most relaxing acupuncture session I have had and I am definitely coming back again for some more treatments. Toma did an excellent job in focusing on my pain point areas and I felt very relaxed during and after the session.
They're healers, not a business. Latest in technology and knowledge. The electropulse and acuscope are not painful; you just need to tell him to go a little lighter. The doctors (both Heshmat) take a lot of time to listen.Their massage therapists are wonderful. Toma is very intuitive, sensitive, intelligent, and knowledgeable and Amalia has acupressure and acupuncture experience and is also sensitive.
The best experience ever for pain and Servic !!!
I've been seeing Toma for massages at Heshmat for 6 months and have been loving them. She is skilled, friendly and wise! The office staff is efficient and friendly. I've been to several other clinics for massages and this is by far the best at scheduling, creating a peaceful and simple environment. The receptionist is always welcoming and my massage is always on time. I've seen other massage therapists there and have been highly satisfied.
This is the best chiropractic office i have been. The Electro-acuscope's high degree of effectiveness in non-invasive pain relief and promotion of healing is based upon a series of electric and electromagnetic manipulations of the patient's tissues. Awesome machine! anyway the doctor is great and down to earth. i really like this place
Had one of the best massages ever here today. The woman who massaged was professional and clearly understand muscle groups and pressure. She used lotion and was careful not to get in my hair. Lighting, music and ambiance were great. Will return!
I had an appointment at Heshmat last week. I was impressed with the service. Specifically I was happy with the focused attention that I got towards an old injury (hamstring) and careful adjustments I got for my neck and back. Overall, I would definitely recommend Heshmat as a chiropractic or pain management clinic and will look forward to coming back here.
Today I came here for my 3rd acupuncture session with Minal Patel. It's great to be able to get chiropractic, acupuncture, and massage here in the same clinic, all covered within my insurance plan for chiropractic care.My first 2 acupuncture sessions here this past month were to focus on some tightness and minor pain in my lower back and arms/wrists, as I do a lot of physical work as a massage therapist and marathon runner (both help me with my endurance).For those 2 sessions Minal applied needles in my neck and shoulders, lower back, wrists, and ankles. She also applied cupping to my upper back and lower back which was interesting - strong suction, like the opposite of massage but similar effects.Today I had some acupuncture applied to my face - right jaw, ears, ankles, wrists, and hands, to help with some pain in my jaw and hands, as I massaged a client with TMJ earlier this week, and maybe I inherited some of her pain...? No cupping today.The acupuncture here seems good. My pain seems to have gone down afterwards or recurrence is much smaller. My first experience with acupuncture last year was a little painful as one of the needles hit me with sharp pain in the hand; other needs were OK. That was at Five Branches in San Jose. But here it's not that painful. The needles are small so I just feel a small sting from each one, less painful that a typical blood draw or a blood donation needle, which I'm used to every month.The nice thing here is that I can try acupuncture, massage, and chiro, and mix them all together to be able to help myself in different ways, as the body reacts differently to each type of treatment.
Dr Heshman is not all about signing u up for a bunch of visits he wants to see you and cure you and then let you live a life that is free of pain. he's got a great style with patients and great tools to help diagnose the cause of pain and he knows the best way to treat you for maximum results. ive used him several times and can recommend him without any concern. Great guy and super cool staff too!
Today was day three of a migraine that my regular doctors and meds couldn't get rid of. Thank goodness one of my nurses recommended acupuncture to me yesterday. I went to the heshmat clinic today for my first ever acupuncture treatment. I felt better right away and I've been relaxing at home, pain and drug free, ever since. I'm going again the day after tomorrow. This place is great.
the best pain management place i have ever been in. Caring, knowledgeable and honest staff. Highly recommend it.
Friendly and professional. Having a great deal of experience with many different Chiropractors I can say Dr. Heshmat is one of the best. He takes a real holistic and consultative approach to making you feel better. If you need a Chiropractor I would give him a try.
REMARKABLE! I suffer from severe back pains and sciatica from a herniated disk after carrying twins almost full term... The chiropractors at this office are so knowledgeable and helpful. I always feel comfortable and confident when leaving their appointment. I had never been in more pain than before I saw them for the first time- After their treatment with the TENS unit, etc- I felt instant relief! They also ordered me a special pillow for my chronic neck pains I used to have. Since then the pain in my neck has not returned. Occasionally, I will have pesky back pains, but after a visit or two with them, I am good as new. I really appreciate the time they take to give me advice and make sure I understand my injury so I can continue to heal properly. Seriously thankful I found them and very glad for the referral. They came highly recommended to me and I tend to do the same in return- starting w/ this yelp message! Thank you, Dr. Heshmats! Thank you so much!
I have been to Heshmat Pain Management Clinic a few times. I have been very pleased and definitely recommend going here. The massage therapist I recommend is, Jaime. I never have to tell her where my problems are because she can tell by the way I walk/stand. The over all atmosphere is very pleasant and every one was very professional and welcoming.
I called last week with severe neck pain. I couldn't hold my head up at work. I was able to get squeezed in that afternoon. Thankfully! I am always impressed when I come here which is about 1-2 times a year as they are so results oriented. All I need to do is present the problem and they take care of the rest. I always get a detailed explanation as to the nature of the problem, how it could have arisen and clear instructions on what to do once I get home. There is no pressure to return for multiple visits especially if the problem is remedied. It always is! This most recent visit Dr. Heshmat (Mrs.) treated me. She was friendly, upbeat and so responsive. Thanks to you for letting me enjoy my kids and my weekend pain free! You all are amazing.
i am really happy with the Heshmat pain Management clinic , Adria Amenti has really helped me with Acupuncture . Dr h has been very helpful with making the pain i was in to go away. thank you all for all your help. if i could give you ten stars i would.
I was recommended to the clinic because of excessive migraines that my general Dr. could not fix...other than pain medications. My migraines were so bad that they got to the point where I would vomit uncontrollably...randomly like in my car. Way not normal. After suffering from migraines for about 15 years and over a year of excessive ones in just ONE visit with Dr. H and Melanie I am migraine free!!!! I do go back and see them for follow ups but just routine - I have not had a single headache or migraine. The entire clinic is great, very informative and helpful!
Heshmat Pain Management has been a real life-saver for me! I came to them with chronic hip and lower back pain which I had been living with for several years. After 4-5 treatments, the pain had subsided SUBSTANTIALLY. I was able to stop taking medication (first Neurontin, then just Advil) and get back to exercising regularly. I have been basically pain-free for well over a year now. When I do have a flare-up, I go in for one treatment and am usually "good to go". I have never felt pressured to schedule additional visits. And while their fee is a little higher than a typical chiropractor, I have to go in much less frequently. In addition to the accuscope treatment, they also do traditional chiropractic adjustments, which is sometimes what is needed. Alan and Letitia Heshmat are wonderfully skilled and caring docs. I highly recommend them!
Dr. H is very skilled. I saw my previous chiropractor for years without any improvement. Dr. H has been able to treat my chronic neck prain (& whatever else happens to fall out of alignment from there) in a minimal amount of sessions. I live in San Mateo and am willing to make the drive to Palo Alto to see Dr. H! Congrats on your new location!
