About The Pleasant Chiropractor

Dan Russell, DC is the chiropractor and owner of The Pleasant Chiropractor in Pleasanton, California, serving patients throughout Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin, and the surrounding Tri-Valley area. With more than 25 years of experience, “Dr. Dan,” as he is known by his patients, focuses on helping people with chronic and difficult conditions get out of pain, move better, and return to the activities they enjoy.

Dr. Dan works with patients experiencing back pain, neck pain, sciatica, herniated and bulging discs, sports injuries, headaches, and other musculoskeletal conditions. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, he combines chiropractic care with advanced treatment technologies including nonsurgical spinal decompression, Class IV laser therapy, radial shockwave therapy, digital X-rays, and customized rehabilitation when appropriate.

Dr. Dan earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University in 2001 and has spent more than two decades in private practice. He opened his Pleasanton practice in 2009 and has continued to expand the office with new technology and treatment options for patients dealing with both acute injuries and long-standing problems.

Outside the office, Dr. Dan practices the same active lifestyle he encourages his patients to return to. He is passionate about fitness, nutrition, mountain biking, skiing, and spending time outdoors. As an avid mountain biker, he understands firsthand how important it is to stay strong, mobile, and capable of doing the things you love.

At The Pleasant Chiropractor, the goal isn’t simply temporary pain relief. Dr. Dan strives to identify the underlying factors contributing to a patient’s problem and develop an individualized plan designed to improve function and help them get back to living an active life.
