Dr. Johanna Lelke

Doctor of Chiropractic, Founder and Director

Johanna started practicing in Berkeley in 2009 with a focus on short-term care to resolve both acute and chronic injuries. Her passion lies in sports and performance, a competitive athlete herself in college track & field, then in rock climbing, triathlon, and pole vaulting. Keen understanding of human movement and biomechanics has been her strength in roles such as yoga instructor, track coach, and certainly sports chiropractor. In 2016 she set out to expand the practice and created Onsight Chiropractic with its cherry picked staff of standout chiropractors and massage therapists. A longtime partnership with PacWest Endurance has enabled them to promote health and fitness together from the same Berkeley facility for their community. In her personal life, Johanna thrives on raising her daughter, Elli, with her husband Jay. They frequent hiking trails, biking routes and beaches together; and she frequents the tennis courts with her friends to practice and compete in USTA as a tennis singles and doubles player.

Dr. Fredrick Cheng

Doctor of Chiropractic, Clinic Director

Dr. Fredrick Cheng was born and raised in San Leandro, California where he played multiple sports all year long, focusing on basketball. He went on to attend Bates College in Maine, where he continued his love for basketball through their competitive intramural program. Due to prior injuries that were ignored, he incurred a major injury during a basketball game. As a result, sought out chiropractic treatments and later fell in love with the attuned musculoskeletal care that he received. After earning his Bachelor’s Degree from Bates, he returned to the Bay Area to attend Palmer College of Chiropractic West and later graduated with Pi Tau Delta honors. During his time at Palmer, he was a member of the sports council and soft tissue club.  When Dr. Cheng is not treating, you can find him hiking, surfing, weight lifting or rock climbing. He is excited to incorporate his education and personal sports experiences to best serve his East Bay community.

Matthew Smith

Certified Massage Therapist

Matt was born and raised on the East Coast, knowing by the time he was in high school that he wanted a career dedicated to helping and being of service to others.  Initially, that vision took the form of classroom teaching in Maui and then the East Bay. Transitioning away from teaching to find more work-life balance, Matt went to massage school, interned in the sports medicine department at St. Mary’s College, and completed NHI’s Advanced Neuromuscular Therapy Program. Now at Onsight, Matt wants to have a collaborative relationship with his clients. He’s particularly interested in knowing their history of injury and movement to aid in their postural dysfunctions, repetitive stress injuries, and decreased ranges of motion. He looks forward to being a part of your path to healing and health.

Thais (pronounced Ty-is) is a California native whose interest in massage therapy and hands-on healing goes back to her earliest memories.

Thais first attended Alive & Well, Institute of Conscious Bodywork in 1996 and earned the title Certified Massage Therapist.
