Description

Specialties

Personalized Chiropractic Care for Professionals and Active Individuals. Specializing in movement disorders, chronic pain, and complex musculoskeletal dysfunction. We specialize in the rehabilitation of the spine and extremities. Using the latest soft tissue release techniques and condition specific rehab exercises, Dr. Naweed tailors the care to the individual. No two patients are same, your treatment should reflect this fact. We also offer concise Chiropractic care for patients who have been in a car accident and sustained whiplash injuries.

History

Established in 2011.

Dr. Naweed graduated from Life West Chiropractic College in 2009 and started working as an associate in 2010. The following year, Dr. Naweed went out on his own and started Zensport Wellness Chiropractic Studio out of a 120 square foot office inside the Body Mechanix Gym in Jack London Square. Less than a year later, the practice moved to the Grand Lake area on Grand Ave. Within 3 years the practice grew to its fullest potential and Dr. Naweed started looking for a larger office. In late 2015, Zensport Wellness moved into a 1700 Square foot office at 1940 Webster Street in downtown Oakland where it currently operates.

Jaweed is incredibly gifted at identifying and treating localized pain and tension. Jaweed played a critical role in addressing several running injuries that popped up over the past 4 years. Thanks Jaweed!

Jaweed has helped me fix every single problem I’ve ever come to him with, sometimes with simple advice, but most of the time through simple adjustments. Sometimes I have sports-​related injuries from Brazilian Jiu-​Jitsu or basketball like an injured neck, stiff shoulder, elbow pain, etc. or sometimes it’s «regular life» stuff like a locked-​up lower back or sprained neck.
The best part about Jaweed is that he’ll spend 95% of your time together massaging and loosening up around the area that needs adjustment, and only in the last few minutes does he do the adjustment. Many times other chiropracters will just look you up and down then start cracking stuff, and that was scary and probably not healthy/​safe.
He follows up the adjustment with simple recommended stretches or postural changes that help to prevent future problems. Jaweed is always friendly and helpful, so much so that my wife, mother-​in-​law, friends, teammates and co-​workers all seek him out for help. Highly recommend.

As an athlete that has experienced a high ankle sprain and common back pain, I am glad to share my positive experience with Dr. Naweed who has helped me to speed up the healing and recovery process for my high ankle sprain (basketball) which felt better after the first few visits. After experience relief and mobility in my ankle and joints, I decided to see Dr. Naweed at least once a week for an adjustment just to keep my highly active body in check. The adjustment provides a great natural form of relief for back pain because it helps to release blocked energy (blood/​joint fluid) usually from bad posture, driving, and weak muscles.
Love the new location and office which includes large weight room, nice wooden wall design, and waiting/​reception area.
I also noticed that my breathing, posture, and energy levels have improved due to the opening of the blocked energies so the benefits have been physiological as well as physical.
Dr. Naweed has my highest recommendation for anyone who would like experience a natural and holistic form of allowing your body to do a better job of repairing, healing, and strengthening itself the way it was meant to do so well.

Jaweed is an excellent doctor. He does a thorough assessment and is incredibly knowledgable about the body. I’ve got tons of old sports injuries and he’s helped me stay in action, as my body ages. I always recommend my friends and they say the same thing — he’s a miracle worker. Seriously, the best around.

I do not know how to thank this man enough. I was in a terrible horseback riding accident and broke my back in three places. I saw Dr. Naweed three times a week for several months. He helped me with my pain, mobility and range of motion. When I first started seeing him I was using a walker to walk. I could not sit down at all and I was in tremendous pain. Dr. Naweed worked on the muscles in my back, hips and legs. Initially Dr Naweed could not do any adjustments due to the fractures but the deep tissue work he did helped me tremendously. As I progressed, he gave me exercises to do.
During the first few months of my recovery I sometimes felt discouraged and frustrated. I am a very active person so it was hard not being able to sit, drive or exercise. I was relegated to lying down in my bed or on the couch. Dr. Naweed was always encouraging. He motivated me, lifted my spirits and gave me hope. He was honest and straightforward with me about what to expect and how long it would take before I could resume my normal activities.
My friends, family and spine doctor could not believe how fast I recovered. I was relatively pain free after 6 months. I am now able to run again, swim and horse back ride. I see Dr. Naweed for regular maintenance now and for the occasional flare up.
I have seen chiropractors off and on since age 15. Dr. Naweed is hands down the best chiropractor I have ever been treated by. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional and skilled.
I often tell people that I would not be walking around if it weren’t for him and his exceptional care.

I first came to Dr. Jaweed after having 2 surgeries– pectoral tendon repair and capsolabral reconstruction. Prior to having seen Dr. Jaweed, I had thought I had permanently lost strength and range of motion in both shoulders. In fact, I had been to 2 physical therapists, and they told me that things had settled incorrectly. They then told me that there was nothing more they could do for me.
On my second visit to see Dr. Jaweed, he was able to maneuver my shoulder into the correct position and provided relief that I had not had since before my injury, which had been about 6 months out.
With his help, I have made significant progress, and I have been able to get back to many of my old hobbies, which I had almost given up on…
I highly recommend Dr. Jaweed, and I appreciate his insights and explanations, which have helped me to better understand my body. I’ve been with Dr. Jaweed for the past 4 years, and I plan to stay with him as long as he continues his practice. I highly recommend reaching out to him should be be having issues with pain, discomfort, or mobility.

Definitely go see Dr. Naweed if you’re in the Oakland area and are looking for a very skilled chiropractor. He uses a unique healing approach incorporating neuromuscular work with the adjustments resulting in a powerful combination. Very highly recommended.

I’ve seen Jaweed a few times when I’ve been in dire straits with upper back and neck pain. I’ve been at the point where I can’t turn my head from side to side, much less sleep, due to problems in those areas. Each time I’ve seen him, I walk out of his office 100% better. He has a great manner, is a good listener, and is really interested in helping you.
He deals with the health issues you have in a holistic way, treating the acute pain right now and also recommending exercises/​treatments that you can do on your own to help prevent problems in the future. He’s up on all the latest medical research regarding diagnoses and treatments. His hours of availability are convenient, his rates are reasonable, and his office is conveniently located in downtown Oakland, easily accessible by BART.

I have been seeing Dr. Naweed for a few years now, and he is fantastic.
Explains everything as he does it, has a great sense of humor, is completely professional, and thorough. I have applied his advice, and the results are great. I have become more thoughtful about how I treat my body due to his incredible input. This guy is the bomb. My back, neck, and shoulders thank him. He has improved my life.

I am honored to aknowledge that Dr. Naweed has been my primary Chiropractor for some time now. As always, he continues to help me restore my body back into balance, not only from everyday pains but also from long endured nagging sports injuries, as well as debilitating aches from major milestones like pregnancy– which were no joke. I look forward to the care and attention to detail I receive in the overall evaluation about the state of my health during visits. He does not rush patients, or make insignificant small talk about the weather; he is very passionate about healing and restoring what has gone out of sync and other imbalances in the body– and he talks you through what he’s doing. I appreciate the continued zeal in fostering a good relationship and understanding the unique needs of each patient. I am not kidding when I say that Dr. Naweed’s adjustments literally help me get better within the same hour from ailments such as acute shoulder pain, migrain headaches, sciatic pain, and wrist tendonitis, which I suffered throughout my pregnancy. If you are a new mom to be, it’s especially scary and annoying to know you can’t take much more than tylenol to manage pain. For pregnancy aches and pains, I highly recommend ZenSport Wellness– the modern yet cozy studio is not only equipped with the proper tables for safe and comfortable adjustments to moms, you also get to learn about the exciting musco-​skeletal changes your body is going through. I look forward to feeling pain-​free after my visits and excited to learn new stretching echniques to prevent injury and promote healing. Thank you Dr. Naweed for the wonderful years of awesome care and advice, I look forward to more.

Dr. Naweed has the particular skill of meshing his academic and clinical training into an adaptive and customized medical treatment for each patient on an individual basis. I know this because I first visited his office with two other friends (alas, not active on Unilocal) who sang his praises. While in the treatment, I noticed the motions that my friends (all of us extremely physically active young guys ~30 y/​o) were treated with and what I was treated with, all very unique to our weight, muscle mass and most importantly verbal feedback. This was my first experience, a few months later (and the reason for this Unilocal Review) I had slept on my left shoulder incorrectly and hyper-​extended some muscle which runs from behind the shoulder around through the front of the arm, rendering my entire left arm completely immobile. At 8am, I was standing outside his clinic as he walked in and squeezed me in between his first and second appointments. With a few adjustments and some suggested stretches the remainder of the day, I took a basic over the counter pain pill around 9pm and I have not felt the pain ever since. I was LITERALLY shocked at how quickly I recovered. A whole new appreciation for the field of expertise and nothing but great things to say about Dr. Naweeds ability to practice it on a patient by patient basis. His new office location on Webster is even more convenient for me and just down the street from the gym and Lake Merritt.

I’ll admit it: prior to meeting Jaweed, I simply did not trust chiropractors. On a personal level, I always was amused how, out of all the types of doctors I knew (MDs, DDSs, PhDs, etc.), they were the only ones who insisted on being called «Doctor.» Freakin’ posers. Jaweed is about as grounded and down to earth as you’ll find as a human being. From a patient perspective, my experiences with chiropractors were not positive; I found them to be rough and always feared they were doing more harm than good. With Jaweed, I always feel (literally, *feel* in the parts of my body where he’s working) that he’s healing me.
So I went here with plenty apprehension and trepidation. Wouldn’t have gone at all if not for the incredibly great recommendations from a group of friends who just couldn’t be more diverse as far as age, values, body types, etc. They ranged from professional dancers to fitness instructors to 60 year-​old dudes who have torqued the hell out of their bodies from golfing, to desk jockeys, etc. They all simply swore by this guy.
And then I learned why. Dude has a gift. I told him he shouldn’t even use the title Chiropractor except in passing. He is, both to my mind and in my address book, a Biomechanical Harmonizor. He looked at me, had me do a couple things, then, to my surprise, said the pain I’d been experiencing more or less forever between my scapula and spine, had more to do with my hip being out of alignment than anything. Gave me a mild adjustment and some exercises to do and, voila, I was healed. I returned to him about a week ago for a related issue and – literally for the first time in about 30 years – a nagging and painful part of my back was healed. Amazing. I gave him a hug!
Really. Like that. I’ll be going back to him now whenever I need any Biomechanical Harmonization. :-)

When I first started seeing Dr. Naweed, I thought I’d have to start cutting back, slowing down, or possibly even giving up on running. Under his expert care, I was able to get back to running pretty quickly. I like that he gives me homework so that I can participate in my own care and get back to optimal health more quickly. I’ve seen many chiropractors in the past, however, I find his approach, which includes muscle release, to be the best experience I’ve had with chiropractic care. He’s also got a great sense of humor and he really cares! I highly recommend Dr. Naweed.
Update: I wrote the review above a couple of years ago. I’ve seen Dr. Naweed for other issues, including a recent rotator cuff injury that got significantly better after seeing him (physical therapy had helped, but not as much as the work Dr. Naweed did).

When I first started seeing Jaweed, I had musculoskeletal problems, chronic pain, and poor posture caused from too much sitting at a computer and falling 25 feet. Now, I am pleased to say we have dealt with my main concerns and are now working on secondary ones. I highly recommend Dr. Naweed to anyone who wants to change any musculoskeletal problems in the direction of healing.

If you need a Chiropractor, Dr. Naweed is the person to see! I first went to see him with low back pain and in just the first session, my back pain improved dramatically. His knowledge of the body is unsurpassed and he is absolutely the best when it comes to releasing muscles that are too tight with his Active Release Technique. Not only does he tell you what is wrong but will teach you how to start correcting those imbalances. Anytime someone looks like they need their body realigned, I refer them to Dr. Naweed.

Dr. Jaweed is great. He is knowledgable and personable. In the times of personal medical docs listening and nodding their heads to your concerns and writing a prescription for your ‘complaint (s)’ it is nice to have someone get back to the basics on how the body works in harmony and strife and how to improve upon both. It is a mistake to call chiropractors fake doctors and Dr Jaweed proves that through his breadth of knowledge and experience. As a firefighter/​paramedic I value care of a high acuity-​a practitioner who treats you how they would want their family to be treated-​this is what Dr. Jaweed provides. I have seen him many times over the years and left feeling and moving better than I had for weeks. I highly recommend him.

Wow, what a great first visit and I’ll definitely be returning. Dr. Naweed took my call at 8am on a Saturday after I had fallen down on some stairs the night before. He saw me that same morning, administered deep tissue work on my neck and shoulders, and aligned/​adjusted my neck and back. Dr. Naweed talked me through all of the work he did and provided helpful explanation as to what had happened to my body when I fell, and how I could take proactive, preventative steps in the future.
I walked out feeling much better and am very happy to have found a new chiropractor here in Oakland. I’ll be returning very soon for my next visit, and I’m happy to give his office my recommendation.

I was referred to Dr. Naweed by my orthopedic surgeon for a stubborn reoccurring shoulder pain throughout my surfing career. What I liked about Dr. Naweed was that he gave me the time of day to listen to my problem without rushing me in and out and after leaving I was confident he had figured out the problem. Turns out I had an impingement caused by muscle strain. He did some soft tissue release and some adjustments. Shortly after, I regained my full range of motion without any pain. The best part was that he gave me some exercises so I can go home and work on my shoulder myself. The exercises helped a bunch! After having a few bad experiences with chiropractors while growing up, I was relieved to have found this guy. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Jaweed is an amazing chiropractor and a cool guy to boot! He really helped me with many post partum body pains, structural imbalances plus muscle spasms in my back etc. He’s down to earth, fun, super knowledgeable, accessible and so skilled at what he does. He is not your typical lay you down and crack you Chiro — he does an awesome blend of massage/​tissue work and adjustments. I recommend him highly!
