From San Antonio and Fruitvale out to Elmhurst and Sobrante Park, East Oakland runs on a handful of long, busy corridors: International Boulevard, Foothill, MacArthur, Bancroft, and the I-880 and I-580 freeways on either side. If you were hurt in a crash on any of them, the clinic is at 435 8th Street in downtown Oakland, with same-day slots for new accident patients. Lea esta página en español.
We'll call you back within 30 minutes during clinic hours; outside clinic hours, first thing the next morning, in English, Spanish or Russian.
East Oakland isn't one place. Here's how it breaks down, and the roads where crashes tend to happen in each part.
Just past Lake Merritt, and the closest East Oakland neighborhood to the clinic. Dense surface streets with lots of foot traffic and double-parking.
One BART stop to Lake Merritt, two to 12th St./Oakland City Center. Busy commercial corridor, freeway ramps, and bridge traffic to Alameda. Fruitvale & Jingletown page →
The I-580 side of East Oakland, where freeway merges meet MacArthur Boulevard's shops and crosswalks.
Residential streets feeding onto High Street and Seminary Avenue, with I-580 interchanges at both.
Long straight corridors where speed and left turns across traffic are the common crash pattern.
Event traffic, Hegenberger's airport-bound lanes, and the I-880 interchange at 66th and Hegenberger.
Deep East Oakland's main corridors, including 98th Avenue's connection to I-880 and the airport.
Neighborhoods tucked between I-880 and the San Leandro line, close to the airport routes.
A lot of East Oakland patients reach us after they've already tried something else. Some went to a sobador or huesero the family trusts. Some went to the ER or urgent care, were told nothing was broken, and left with pain medication and a physical therapy referral. Many never called a lawyer and didn't think a chiropractor was an option.
None of that rules you out. You can see a chiropractor directly in California, without a lawyer or a referral, and your own auto insurance or MedPay may cover it. What we add is an exam focused on the spine and soft tissue, and a written record of your injuries that starts now instead of months from now. Read already in PT after a car accident? or, en español, sobador o quiropráctico.
If the driver who hit you had no insurance, that doesn't automatically mean your care waits. Uninsured motorist coverage or MedPay on your own policy may apply, or care can begin on a lien if you have an attorney. We sort out which applies before your first visit.
Our full accident-injury clinic — same-day evaluations; auto insurance, MedPay, PIP, and liens accepted.
The most common rear-end injury on 880, 580, and International.
Hit on foot or on a bike on a busy East Oakland corridor.
Stop-and-go traffic on International and the avenues produces low-speed impacts whose soreness starts later.
Accident care for the Maze, 7th Street, and the Port truck routes.
Just past Sobrante Park and Elmhurst, on the same I-880 corridor.
What patients say, in their own words: Oakland Accident Care reviews.
East Oakland here runs from San Antonio to the San Leandro line, as on this page: the 70 neighborhoods the City of Oakland’s neighborhood map codes S, F, CE and E, Fruitvale included. Our count of the California Highway Patrol’s CCRS crash records; police-reported crashes only. Every area, with the method · CSV
The streets where Oakland’s most severe and fatal crashes happened are on one City list, and East Oakland holds more of its entries than any other part of the city — half of the twenty worst intersections on the 2024 list are here.

BART. Coliseum station is at 7200 San Leandro St. and Fruitvale station at 3401 East 12th Street. The same three lines stop at both — Dublin/Pleasanton–Daly City, Richmond–Berryessa/North San Jose and Berryessa/North San Jose–Daly City — and all three stop at Lake Merritt, 800 Madison Street, about a 12-minute walk from the clinic. From 12th St./Oakland City Center, 1245 Broadway, it is about 7 minutes on foot.
Bus. AC Transit’s Tempo Line 1T runs between San Leandro BART and Uptown Oakland by way of International Boulevard, East 14th Street and 11th and 12th streets downtown, and lists 12th Street/Oakland City Center BART among its transit centers. Line 90 runs from Coliseum BART by way of San Leandro Street, 85th Avenue and International Boulevard; Line 54 runs from East Oakland to Merritt College by way of San Leandro Street and Fruitvale BART.
Both walking times were measured for this site. Nothing here is a driving time: no drive from East Oakland has been measured. Sources: BART station pages and AC Transit’s Maps & Schedules, read October 12, 2026.
A crash on International Boulevard, Bancroft Avenue, San Leandro Street, Seminary Avenue and the numbered avenues is an Oakland Police report. A crash on I-880 and I-580, including the Hegenberger and 98th Avenue interchanges belongs to the California Highway Patrol instead — and the surface street a block from a ramp is still Oakland Police.

Low-speed impacts in stop-and-go traffic are the ones people talk themselves out of getting examined. Read about neck pain and a stiff neck, lower back pain and headaches — each page lists the signs that mean the emergency room first.
For what pays for the care, in the order it usually applies, see who pays for my care after a car accident.
What applies is different for each: hit while walking or riding a bike, motorcycle accidents and rideshare and delivery drivers.
We see accident patients from San Antonio, Melrose, Havenscourt, Seminary, Eastmont, Elmhurst and Sobrante Park. The other East Bay areas we serve, from Berkeley to Hayward, are on one East Bay page. If your crash was recent, enter its date to see what comes next.
