About Connor Archer, D.C.
Hi, I'm Connor Archer, D.C., and I'm proud to serve the Pinole/Richmond community through corrective, whole-body chiropractic care at East Bay Chiropractic Health Center. My approach is rooted in empathy, precision, and a deep commitment to helping people reclaim their health, especially those navigating complex or chronic conditions.
My journey into chiropractic began unexpectedly. As a medical assistant and x-ray technician during my clinical rotations, I was placed in a chiropractic office knowing very little about what chiropractic actually meant. What I witnessed there changed my life. Patients weren't just surviving, they were improving, recovering, and walking out the door smiling. That impact stuck with me. Later, I personally herniated my L5/S1 disc. Multiple orthopedic surgeons told me I'd need decompression surgery, but through consistent chiropractic care and corrective work, I made a full recovery without ever going under the knife. That experience, paired with five years of working as a chiropractic assistant and x-ray tech, inspired me to pursue chiropractic myself.
Halfway through school, my world shifted again. My mother was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroendocrine cancer. I moved home to Southern California to care for her, transferring to Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCU) to stay in school, her one condition for accepting my help. Over the next 18 months, I served as her hospice caregiver. Thanks to chiropractic care, she exceeded all medical expectations and remained at home, walking until her final days. That chapter of my life reaffirmed my purpose: to offer the kind of care I wish she had received sooner. I ultimately returned to Life Chiropractic College West to complete my degree, graduating in Fall 2024 with Silver Clinical Honors and Cum Laude academic distinction. My practice now honors her legacy.
I specialize in low-force techniques, including Activator Method, and I'm passionate about caring for seniors and children, and those with complex or chronic conditions. Beyond adjustments, I also offer cold laser therapy, nutrition coaching and targeted supplementation as part of a truly integrative approach to health.
Inspired by the Life West philosophy, I strive to "Give, Do, Love, and Serve from one's own abundance." That service has taken me both local and international—providing free chiropractic care in Tonga, at Second Chance in Newark, and at First Presbyterian Church in Castro Valley. When I'm not in the office, you'll find me throwing frisbees with my dog Birdie, a border collie/kelpie mix, or behind the camera at dog sport competitions across the West Coast for my side business, Archer's Paradox Photography.
I am fortunate I found Dr Knapp and amazed how after only a month I was starting to feel relief from the pain and was sleeping better. Amazing not even and prescriptions to take. I can't believe almost two years after my accident I am at last feeling fabulous. I only wish I had found Dr Knapp right after my accident.

If you need a little more than basic chiropractic work, then this would be a great place for you! It was too expensive for me too & i really didn't need the entire program they're revolving around at this practice. nice place tho & 5 stars!!

The Dr and staff go over and Beyond to make sure you get the car you need and make you comfortable while you are there.

East Bay Chiropractic former Dr Raymond Knapp helped my son with his back pain; I never knew children also need Chiropractic Services ever since then, I'm ever so grateful

It had been a few years sine I'd been to a chiropractor, and my back and neck were really in need of attention. . I was fortunate to find East Bay Chiropractic and was put on a plan to regain some mobility and reduce the pain. I appreciated the support from both the doctor and his staff, and am doing much better now with just "maintenance" visits. I would and do recommended them to everyone!
