Services
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractors employ multiple techniques including SOT, Gonstead, and Diversified methods to correct spinal misalignments and improve nervous system function. This drug-free approach addresses back pain, neck pain, and headaches while promoting overall wellness through natural healing processes. Patients benefit from personalized treatment plans tailored to their specific conditions and health goals.
Massage Therapy
Certified massage therapy combines Swedish, deep tissue, and neuromuscular techniques to relieve muscle tension and improve circulation. This service addresses chronic pain patterns and complements chiropractic adjustments by reducing muscular restrictions that contribute to spinal misalignments. Sessions are customized to individual needs for lasting therapeutic benefits.
Spinal Decompression
Computerized spinal decompression therapy provides non-invasive relief for chronic back and neck pain through calculated vertebral separation. This technology-driven treatment reduces disc pressure causing sciatica, herniated discs, and degenerative conditions while avoiding surgical interventions. Patients experience gradual symptom relief through targeted decompression cycles.
Laser Therapy
Advanced Class IV laser treatments accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation through photobiostimulation. This modality effectively addresses acute injuries and chronic pain conditions by enhancing cellular metabolism and circulation. Treatments are administered using calibrated protocols to optimize healing outcomes for musculoskeletal conditions.
Orthotics
Personalized orthotic solutions improve foot mechanics and alleviate pain through biomechanical correction. Custom-molded supports address gait abnormalities, plantar fasciitis, and sports-related foot conditions while enhancing mobility. These durable devices are tailored to individual foot structures for optimal comfort and functional improvement.

Report
After years of putting it off I had my first ever chiropractor appointment with Dr Ousey. She said I might feel some soreness the next day but it was the opposite. I felt immediate pain relief and have been walking taller ever since. I'm even sleeping better. When I left the appointment I had to adjust my mirrors in the car because I was sitting taller right away. I'll be back. Highly recommend!

Dr Ousley was able to get me in for a same day appointment on a Saturday! I was in so much pain and needed to be seen right away. I messaged lots of chiropractic offices, she responded quickly and was able to squeeze me in. Her approach was very gentle and she helped me tremendously. I would definitely recommend this office for chiropractic care.

I feel obligated to write this review, and so should everyone else who's she's helped. I was suffering from lower back injury I got during a gym session workout back in 2018 and I've been dealing with sharp shooting pain periodically from 2018 til now, 2021. After one visit to Dr. Ousley, I immediately started feeling the positive impact of her alignment. I just recently went in for my 3rd visit and I can say that I am for the most part, pain free. And with that, I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for a chiropractor! Thank you Dr. Ousley!

I cannot speak highly enough of the team at Dimond Chiropractic! Dr. Ousley is so helpful, attentive, and great at what she does. I first came to her because I was having increasingly severe low back pain and after just one session it felt 95% better. I've also had a couple of massages from Kimberly and OH MY GOODNESS they are the best I've had in my life, plus her prices are affordable which is amazing. I've been going to them for the last two years while living in the neighborhood and as I move to SoCal I hope I find someone as good because I have high standards now!

I've seen many chiropractors in oakland and most charge between $60-$80. Many are too quick with their sessions and you wonder what you're even paying for. Some like to bull sh*t and just do little adjustments, such as cracking your toes. Others do "communal adjustments" in one big room with no privacy between patients. Which is why i LOVE Dr Carrie Ousley at Dimond Chiropractic Clinic on Fruitvale. Aside from her genuine caring personality, the costs are incredibly jaw droppingly low, the office is clean and tasteful, you get your own room, and she is thorough and takes her time.
