Report
Was here visiting a friend in SD from SF and she referred me here. Super happy she did, I've been struggling to find time for myself since I gave birth in November and needed an adjustment. They were super responsive, professional and sweet. Rosie greeted me and I felt immediately welcomed. They had fancy equipment here to check my spine and hand strength which I've never done before, but loved it.
And every room was so clean and inviting. I was taken care of by Dr. Hook and was so impressed with how thorough he was with the consultation. He took great care of me and was so easy to talk to! After we were done, I felt brand new! Highly recommend if anyone is in search of a chiropractor!

I had my first appointment at Life Chiropractic Center today. Being greeted by Rosie made me feel welcomed and at ease. Meeting Dr. Hook was a nice surprise as he was very relaxed, friendly, honest, and loves what he does. He educated me about the anatomy and physics of my spine and he conducted a thorough examination of my neck, back, body mechanics and vitals. I had not been adjusted in over 18 years and had my first adjustment with Dr. Hook and I will be back for more. A big thank you to Dr. Hook for a cathartic experience and a big thank you to Rosie for being so pleasant and running a smooth operation.

I have been going here for years and I love it so much! The space is so warm and welcoming and Rosie and Dr. James are some of the kindest spirits ever : It's delightful to work with them. The condition of my back has greatly improved over the years, and back pain is not a constant worry anymore. Included is a picture of me with the board where my name is up for my birthday!
