Specialties

We combine a treatment that is specifically designed to your needs. We provide Chiropractic, Deep Tissue Work, Massage, Stretching, Strength Training, Physiotherapies and Rehabilitation.

We work on numerous professional athletes in the Bay Area, and specialize in sports injuries. Our philosophy is that athletes get the best care, and we want to pass on that type of treatment to everyone. A patient in a bad car accident, or skiing injury, needs the same type of treatment as the professional football player.

We have a great team of employees that make your treatments to the doctors office not what they used to be. Our staff is young, fun and friendly :) We also work with numerous M.D.‘s and specialists to advise any surgeries.

Meet the Business Owner

Earle P.

Business Owner

Born and raised in Walnut Creek, went to Bancroft Elementary School, Foothill Intermediate School, Northgate High School, Los Medanos JC, UC Davis, then Palmer West for Chiropractic School.

Dr. Paynton, while at UC Davis, thought about going to Medical School, but doesn’t really believe in the theory of «taking a pill for every problem» part of healthcare. Dr. Paynton always had good relief when he played baseball in college with the P.T. and the Chiropractor fixing his injuries.

Main focus of Paynton & Paynton Chiropractic is to provide the best services possible and help get patients out of pain as quickly and as efficiently as possible. We have a staff of 3 doctors, 5 massage therapists, 2 athletic trainers.

Our office has been a referral source for all the major teams in the Bay Area for the NFL, NBA, MLB, USA Rugby Team, Cal football, St. Mary’s Rugby, DVC Basketball, all the local high school sports.

Our goal is to get patients better as quickly as possible.

Can NOT say ENOUGH about this amazing team. I first went to Dr Paynton about 12 years ago suffering from a back injury that had me on the floor and unable to get up for a week!!! .I literally had to be carried into his office. He was amazing, not only was I able to walk out of there that day but my pain was gone. Needless to say I have been back for everything since. He helped me with my chronic headaches, backaches, (from being a nurse) and current back situation from pregnancy. They understand the body and how it all works together. He and his team are miracle workers ! Great staff from the massage therapist to front desk love them all !

these guys are the best! Been to about 10 chiropractors in the past 15 years and they are so knowledgable. Love the focus on heat, massage and then adjustment so it’s not super abrupt and tough on the joints. They don’t try to keep you coming back for months on end, their goal is to get you fixed up and then send you on your way! Love them!

Saved by the Paynton, again.
I limped around for 2 months working with my Rheumatologist on an inflamed bursa in my Achilles, this aggravated my knee which then needed a cortisone shot due to inflammation and fluid build up causing pain. Mobic, prednisone did very little to relieve the pain. I was in for my monthly visit to Dr. Earle for neck maintenance and I mentioned my bursitis problem. To my surprise he had a solution, Cold Laser Therapy. Two treatments later 4wks apart. The pain is GONE, like I can apply pressure to the area… No Pain!
You guys ROCK Dr. Earl and Dr. Robert!

I have been seeing Dr. Paynton for over 10 years. I have tried other Chiropractors and there is no one better. It seems all the other Chiropractors hurt me. My favorite thing to tell my friends about Dr. Paynton’s office is all the people that I have seen there. One time, while sitting in the lobby, I had a conversation about the Oakland Raiders with the team owner, Mark Davis. Being a Raider fan, I couldn’t believe I was having a conversation with the OWNER. Another time, I got to hold the door for Joe Montana who was also going in for treatment there. I got to meet a couple younger NFL players, and they all seem like really down to earth people, and they really respect Dr. Paynton and the staff. You can tell the athletes really like this place and so do I which is why I give Dr. Paynton and his staff 5 out of 5 stars.

I would trust Dr Earle with my neck and spine anyday. AND my family’s. I do wish the acute care visits were more affordable though, as I would love to go there regularly.

Best Chiropractor I have EVER been to (and I have seen many). Dr. Earle Paynton incorporates tissue work, heat/​ice, stretching, electrical stim, physical therapy exercises, and more. I have been treated by Earle and his team for over 10 years now.
He has helped me regain mobility and increase strength through multiple sports injuries (back, ankles, neck, etc).
I started seeing Dr. Paynton as an athlete at Las Lomas High School around the corner. I continued seeking care long distance (when in the Bay Area) while competing in college as a NCAA Division I athlete in Santa Barbara.
Oh how this team of massage therapists have helped me! Did I mention them too? Currently I stop by for an ache/​pain or routine adjustment when in town as often as possible, which is never often enough!
Could not be happier with the services this team of massage/​physical therapists and chiropractors provide. Finally wanted to provide them with the review they deserve from a long time, happy client. Thanks all :)

It’s never under good circumstances when you have to go see a chiropractor. I was weary of seeing another, since I’ve had terrible experiences with two other chiropractic practices before.
But fortune had shined on me at last, and I found great service and care with Dr. Paynton and Eric. They’re really professional, caring, friendly, and they know their shit. I’ve never felt taken advantage of. They’re the best thing to ever happened to my back.

Dr. Fife helped heal my ailing shoulders as well as superb adjustments to my neck/​back.
A refreshing approach to sports medicine and chiropractic care.
I had been hampered with routine shoulder issues. He helped workout the surrounding areas and designed a rehab plan for me. Long story short, Dr. Fife got me back on track (pardon the pun).
His wholistic approach to treatment on my back is awesome too. I suffer from a dislocated disk. Dr Fife keeps me in tip top shape.

Just a great team of experts. There are many fine chiropractic groups, but this one stands out by having a number of people who really know the body and key pressure points. Dr. Earle wants you to heal and get better and hopefully not ever have to see him again. A lot of doctors in this area of practice, want to see you 3 times a week, for the rest of your life, or so it seems. I wish there was a way to give the whole staff of dedicated employees 5 stars. Keep up the great work.

Believe the reviews… This team (Earle and Eric) is focused on solving your problem and giving YOU the tools to keep yourself healthy and injury free. I’ve seen this team on and off maybe 4 times over the past 6 years. Different issues each time (which is a great thing). They’ve actually only adjusted me once. I can only speak to Earle, no experience with the other doctor.

I just had my first visit with Dr. Rob Fife and was blown away with the result. Absolutely life changing! I have been suffering with shoulder pain following an intense motorcycle accident and shoulder surgery. Rob worked on my shoulder for about an hour and I went to the the gym the next day for the first time in over 6 years with no shoulder pain. I am so impressed with their methodology and care. I will be sending anyone and everyone I know and care about to their practice and am very thankful to have discovered their practice.
Sincerely,

Went to Earle from a referral years ago and he and his team alleviated all my neck and back issues and gave me the tools to prevent further injury. I have also worked with them on my torn rotator and will pursue therapy with his team. He is truly holistic and I trust them 100%. I always send friends and family his way when I can and consult him for any injury or pain I have in my body.

I first met Dr. Earle Paynton in 2004. I had gone to a back surgeon and he told me I had to have surgery on my neck, ASAP! I was not ready to hear that surgery was the only option to fix my neck problems. I work in the medical industry and know of many patients that have had neck surgery and they were worse off after surgery, so I was not going to let anyone cut me just yet. Usually surgery means you have no choices, so I was really scared.
My daughter told me several people in her office went to Dr. Paynton and they really liked him. I took her advice and from the first appointment I knew that we would have a long relationship. Dr. Paynton and his massage therapists Eric and Rhys, gave me my life back! They made me feel like a whole person again. I had complete trust and faith in him and his entire team, from the get-​go. I can say with 100% certainty that I would not feel like I do today if it wasn’t for them.
They are the best! Don’t hesitate… make the call. I guarantee you you won’t be disappointed!

Dr. Earle Paytnton was a referral from a co-​worker who goes to him. All I can say is I feel way better. And everyone is so kind in there. I would recommend them in a heart beat. I was so nervious about the whole cracking of my neck and I couldn’t believe that it didn’t hurt one time and he did it in such a manner where you felt comfortable and not nervious. Love my deep tissue massages too!

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Earle Paynton for over 12 years, and have experienced his growth as a specialist in chiropractic. He has treated me regularly, for maintenance, or whenever a problem arises, for 13 years, and ALWAYS knows exactly what to do — and ALWAYS gets results — and ALWAYS treats me like a friend, not a «patient.» He is affordable, accurate, knowledgeable, experienced (!), generous, and genuine. No «doctor attitude», no hidden agenda to make more money off of patients. He is THE FIXER. And I thank God to have him in my life. Great casual atmosphere. Great chiropractic and tissue work.
And that crazy Tina is the best gal he’s ever had as an office manager. It’s a blessing to visit Dr Paynton’s office.

Absolutely incredible. TIna at the front desk is always responsive and gets (squeezes) me in when I need an emergency adjustment. Besides the top notch care Dr. Paynton does not try to book a series of treaments like so many other Chriopractors. This shows that he truly is there to care and cure. Also he always remembers previous visits-​5 really big stars for the team + very reasonably priced
Hope this helps

Care was adequate, but billing practices atrocious. Having been told that my insurance covers the visit, I began to receive bills for the entire amount. When I phoned to say that insurance should have covered it, I was told they had no insurance information (yet they had made a photocopy of the card at the visit), so I provided it again. Kept getting the bills and finally one that said if I didn’t pay I’d be sent to collections. No phone call… just a threatening letter. Phoned again and they said that of course insurance covers it but I owed a $ 100 deductible (which had never before been mentioned).
Are there capable chiropractors who have more integrity in their billing? I suspect so.

I can walk! Ok… so I could sort of walk… like a crooked penguin waddling across the parking lot and through the doors to Paynton and Paynton.
My road to Wellville started with a consultation with Dr. Earle, followed by a detailed explanation of what he thought was going on, then how he would treat it. First, wet heat to soak into my muscles and make me loose, followed by a sports massage, and finally an adjustment. Miracle!
I’m very active, so having someone like Dr. Earle to help straighten me out, AND give me preventative stretching, etc is a necessity. Everyone in the office is super nice, cool, and knowledgeable. The BEST.

Dr Earle has made me a believer.
History: I didn’t fully believe in back problems until I had mine. I did not believe in back doctors at all — ever. I saw the «patient for life» far too many times. Witch doctors and snake charmers — the lot of ‘em. If you see one coming, run far and run fast.
Symptoms: GI issues and mid-​back issues.
Treatment: First, Doc addressed all my concerns and issues. He assured me that he did not want me for life. His goal, like any good doctor, was to resolve the problem and see me live a healthy life. Preferably without treatment.
Second, Doc addressed the causes on multiple levels: Identified repetitive motions that were exacerbating the problem, suggested simple stretching to loosen specific muscle groups and improve overall health, suggested holistic over-​the-​counter remedies for internal health
Thirdly, deep tissue specialist «Eric», to loosen me up before the adjustment.
Result: Immediate relief from the most serious of symptoms. I also learned what «a healthy back» feels like. Unfortunately, my work and symptoms prevent me from living the life I would like.
However, as I followed Doc’s remedies, I find myself visiting less and less. And treating myself to a visit when I want to.
Doc never put me on schedule for visits. He also doesn’t let payments get the way of treatment. He’s not in a rush. Great bedside manner.
Let me also praise Eric. Eric is a knowledgeable and talented individual. His advice compliments the doctors. I think he’s always been correct, but he consistently defers to the Doc. He’s a great guy. Easily earns this place 2 or more the stars.
Dr Earle has made me a believer.
But if you see the other guys coming, you’d better run…
