I've been a natural medicine practitioner and licensed acupuncturist for 25+ years in Berkeley. I've met and referred patients and family to various practitioners over the years. Matt Green, D.C. has a warm and caring personality, keen insights on health, and the skills to help others address health problems using massage and chiropractic approaches. His knowledge of joints has helped me with my chronic shoulder and knee issues. I heartily recommend him.

I just dubbed Agi Ban "The Great Body Sleuth." I've seen both medical and holistic practitioners for my body aches, and no one zeroed in on the culprit, tended it, and helped it heal as masterfully as she. I went in for a series of laser treatments on an injured shoulder, and will continue to see her for "tune-ups."
I'd describe her as "intuitive" except she has 20 years of experience to back up her mastery. She's well informed, and happy to offer advice on body mechanics, diet, health, and other interesting facts of life (including the West Coast's best shoe stores. :) -

Let me start by saying that, generally speaking, I am what is known as a skeptic. More often than not, I rely on solid, empirical evidence before I'll commit myself to something. So, when I found myself with some serious chronic back and hip pain, chiropractic was NOT the first place I turned. After exhausting my other options (which mostly consisted of being on painkillers and/or simply dealing with long-term discomfort), I went to Dr. Green at Ashby Chiropractic. Dr. Green REALLY listened to my concerns and skepticism, and even referred me to an X-ray technician so that I could get a full set of pictures taken before beginning my treatment.
Dr. Green has worked wonders on my back and hip, relieving my pain and getting me to a point where I only need to see him occasionally to maintain my results. I highly recommend him, even for non-believers! -

Like hairstylists, chiropractors need to visit each other because we can't adjust ourselves. I have been a chiropractor since 2000 and know a fair number of chiropractors around the bay area. I have been seeing Dr. Matt Green for the last 4 years and he is my chiropractor of choice because of his experience as a bodyworker and his enthusiasm for inspiring healthy living.
Dr. Green has had training in massage therapy, personal training and dance before becoming a chiropractor so he brings an advanced knowledge of body mechanics, massage techniques, and advice about how to stretch and strengthen the areas that need it most.
His enthusiasm for teaching others about being as healthy as possible is infectious and he is constantly coming up with ideas for how to share those ideas with everyone around him.
Being around Dr. Green just makes you feel healthier.
Also, he is incredibly caring and personable. It's fun to talk with him about anything. -

Dr. Matt Green is an excellent Chiropractor who I highly recommend. He is a very astute listener and really engages me to discover what is going on in my life and how it relates to my physical well being.
His adjustments are relaxing, never uncomfortable, and I always feel well taken care of in his care.
His massage therapy background, positive energy and good sense of humor are icing on the cake! -

If chiropractic is your game, Dr. Green is the name.
I have seen Dr. Green at least ten times now (I think). Every time I'm there, I'm impressed and surprised again by how masterful his technique is. He just seems to get my body to behave the way it's supposed to, whether it wants to or not.
Plus, he seems to know how to fix anything. I've seen other practitioners about my knees and ankles and have never had satisfactory results, while Dr. Green was all over it. And, he did ultrasound on my shoulder when it was hurting so much I could barely move. It felt really good and helped so much. I didn't even know you could use sound like that.
And what a bonus that he's really friendly and funny. I look forward to going there just to catch up.
Whether you need a chiropractor or not, you should go see Dr. Green. -

Dr. Ban brings new HOPE
I was hit by a truck in 2008, while seated in the passenger seat of a small vehicle. I walked with a severe limp until nearly 9 months ago. It truly affected my life in ways that most would never even comprehend.
My chronic pain (and potentially fate), brought me to Dr. Ban at Ashby Chiropractic. I had been treated by Orthopedic Surgeons, received multiple rounds of spinal injections, frequented several physical therapists, (not to mention accrued over $53,000 in medical bills).
I now finally feel as though I am finding some relief for my pain - after merely about 7 visits at Ashley Chiropractic. And most importantly, for the first time in over two years, I ACTUALLY believe that I may see an end to this - thanks to Dr. Ban, her incessant determination, and her ability to immediately pinpoint and treat the actual problem.
Of course, every case is different. But, if you are looking for an honest recommendation, you certainly have mine. Dr. Ban's kindness and compassion are genuine. Whether you are in need of a slight adjustment or have been turned into a human pretzel by a speeding truck, at least Dr. Ban will TRULY do everything in her power to help. Hummm... Imagine that! -

I've never believed in chiropractic. Not only was I mildly skeptical of it, but even once I heard about people whose "lives had been changed" by chiro, I figured it only worked for those in chronic pain with severe back issues. But apparently not so. Dr. Matt Green was pretty amazing, and also made it a point to not do any crazy chiro cracking that I had expected. His moves were directed, yet smooth and gentle and the office experience in general was very comforting. I honestly can't recommend him or them enough and when I hear someone talking about pain issues, I find myself wanting to immediately give them Dr. Matt Green's info!

Matt Green is AWESOME! He is really bright and sees the big picture of my spine! My spine and especially my neck feels really safe in his hands and this is the first time I've had adjustments that didn't scare me. I've only been going for a few weeks but already feel
a lot better. -

I have been to many chiropractors in the last fifteen years and Dr. Green is one of the best! I have been seeing Dr. Green regularly for the past year and he has made my life so much better.
Last February I woke up with my neck totally messed up. I was in so much pain, I was freaked out! Dr. Green took great care of me. He adjusted me a number of times over a two week period until my neck was completely better. In my moments of shear panic he really helped to calm me and made me feel confident that I would be alright. He always explained to me everything he was going to before he did it and it made me feel safe. His confidence allowed me to trust him and because I trusted him he was able to give me the treatment that he intuitively felt that I needed and it worked!
I receive periodic adjustments from him but I also receive monthly massages from him. I am a massage therapist myself and very picky about who I like to work with. Dr. Green is a great therapist. Every time I get up off his table I feel dramatically better than when I arrived. He has keen intuition and great knowledge about the body. He also has a uniquely caring demeanor. I really trust him and I recommend him to all of my clients. -

Dr. Matt Green is a great chiropractor. After a 6 year career in massage therapy, he moved on to chiropractic, and his combined background makes his treatments especially effective. He is safe, gentle, and communicates well w/ patients. I've been seeing him for 6 months and have noticed a difference in my well being!

In March of '09 I visited the emergency room for the first time in my life due to severe back pain. So painful, that even a shot of morphine couldn't keep me quiet. It occurred the day after I got on my motorcycle for the first time since last fall and my bike's suspension rides pretty hard. There was nothing the ER doctor could do but prescribe hard meds. Puzzled at western med's inability to tell me what's wrong with me, I made an appointment with Dr Matt Green the next day and like magic, the pain literally disappeared. He knew exactly what was wrong and how to correct it. His treatment has had a profound impact on my recovery and my perspective of alternative medicine has completely shifted.

Dr Green and Dr Ban are fantastic.
I've been in several major car accidents, and since those I've had a fair few sports that I've been told not to do, running being one of them. I've decided to run anyway - I really needed something other than walking.
Dr. Green is the first to really help me through it - "we'll just fix you as we go and see how it goes". Well, it went great. Now I can run 3+ miles and the problems with my back *got better*.
Dr. Green has been so supportive, and both he and Dr Ban have helped me when it got a bit tough. They're dedicated and excellent chiropractors. Between adjustments and following their advice, my back and overall health has been a ton better. I highly recommend them. -

I had a bout of extreme pain from some neck trouble and Ashby Chiro and the massage therapist fit me in late in the day.. they gave me some relief and i was grateful. My neck trouble turned out to be a degenerative condition but their help was spot on and they knew enough to tell me that I should get over to my MD.

Dr Agi Ban is not only a gifted healer, but an astute and dedicated diagnostician. She was the first I had experienced, thought it was great, but then changed when I thought someplace closer to work would be better. I soon realized how incredible she was when I tried a few others. I started with her in 05 - after my first born - carrying a 30lb infant on a back and neck injured from whiplash years before was painful. She healed that effortlessly. I then only came in for adjustments every few months. Recently I had a very traumatic Closed Head Injury - whiplash to head, jaw and neck - and she not only did an amazing job gently and carefully adjusting to minimize the muscular trauma - she helped me get the right exams, referred me to specialists, and has been a trusted advisor and friend. They entire staff has been wonderful. If you cherish your ease of movement and want a DR who will be curious and care - you could not find a better place.
