When meeting with me, she takes her time, asks good questions and wants to know how I'm doing overall, not just for what I'm there for. I can't express enough how caring and supportive Dr. Lo is.

The first time I saw her, it was at the recommendation of a friend who was taking classes in the Hendrickson method. At the time, I was suffering from chronic back pain. I was quite surprised, because during that first visit, she did targeted massage work and used an activator tool. She suggested that I see her a couple more times and I did. She did some manual manipulations during the later sessions which I found surprisingly gentle and not scary at all. After three visits, my back pain was completely gone. Since then, I have learned how to move properly. But I'm an active person and can put my body through a lot of strain sometimes. So part of my management includes scheduling an appointment for a "tune up" on occasion. I've seen her for all kinds of aches and pains over the years - hip, foot, ankle, toe, elbow, as well as my back. She can work on it all. In fact, I just saw her Tuesday night because I'm training for a weightlifting certification event and tweaked my back during practice. I felt better as soon as I got off the table. Now it's Friday and I feel ready and able to do my weightlifting certification this weekend! I am honored to include Michelle as an essential member of my healthcare team.

My own case in recent times of lower and middle neck pain took me to two months worth of renown practitioners of bodywork, orthopedic acupuncture all of which were relieving for about one day. Sleep deprivation was becoming a crisis, and I decided to go to the famous Hendrickson clinic in Kensington only to learn that Tom Hendrickson retired and closed his clinic. One of his top practitioners was Dr. Michelle who had gone into private practice on Solano Avenue. I immediately signed up, and amazingly I got 90% relief on the first visit that was lasting and get me to sleep at night. I've gone once per week on four more occasions, and now the problem is fully resolved. Dr. Michelle's work is very gentle and extraordinarily precise. I teach human anatomy at local colleges, and I was surprised by her knowledge and precision. She works for a considerable amount of time preparing the musculature and has been using the gentle activator tool to correct scoliosis on me along with muscle education to release cramped scalenes and levator scapula muscles. On the last three occasions she did gentle cervical manipulations that fully completed the release of my neck cramps. I plan to go back for regular tune ups. I happily offer her my highest recommendation. I found that gentleness, full half hour preparations, precision and excellent knowledge of the body are some of the treasures she has to offer. If people go for her full half hour preparations, they will be much better benefited by Dr. Michelle's work. I'm very impressed and will be back regularly.

Dr. Lynn Hausrath has been my chiropractor for most of the last 25 years, and she has helped me…read morewith a variety of health challenges in that time. I think she is very knowledgeable, and a true healer! Here are just a few of my experiences with her: It's important to start by saying that I grew up in a family where chiropractors were viewed with suspicion, at best. In spite of slipping on some black ice at age 10 or 11, resulting in a fractured coccyx ('tailbone') - which caused sharp pains, weakness and other scary symptoms off and on for years afterward - chiropractic care was never considered. Finally, in my mid-twenties, after suffering with sciatic pain for an entire year, a friend suggested that I give chiropractic a try. I was skeptical but since I had known Dr. Hausrath in college, and her office was nearby, I went to see her. The first thing that impressed me was her common-sense explanation of how and why chiropractic worked. Nevertheless, I was still rather dubious - until 6 or 8 weeks after I started treatment, at which point my sciatic pain went away. 25 years later, it has yet to return. I really believe that Dr. Hausrath cured me! Since that initial experience, Dr. Hausrath has helped me heal from all sorts of things, ranging from injuries to chronic pain from poor posture or incorrect movement, such as: - painful neck twinges (from holding a telephone handset against my shoulder) - recurring sinus congestion and pain (due to allergies) - upper back pain and shortness of breath from a rib getting pushed out of place from violent coughing while sick with bronchitis - "tennis elbow", the result of carrying heavy bags without providing sufficient muscle support - low back pain for a year in my late 40's due to a bulging disc (following a program of regular exercises, stretches, and chiropractic care, in combination with physical therapy, the disc pain disappeared) ...and the list goes on. With each instance, Dr. Hausrath has explained what's going on (or what I'm doing wrong!), and then she has shown me what I can do to make it right, providing me with the necessary tools (stretches, exercises, a pillow to support my neck during sleep, and so forth) to help me heal. When regular chiropractic adjustments are called for to get something back where it belongs - and keep it there - she lets me know. Last year, I was in a hurry, and picked up a large box the wrong way - and my back actually went OUT. The pain was scary. Knowing what she would recommend, I applied ice quickly, and I was able to see Dr. Hausrath the next day; I was doing much better after two or three weeks, following several treatments, and after doing the stretches and exercises she advised me to do. Within two months, I was completely back to my normal activities and had nearly forgotten that my back had gone out just two months before. Besides her chiropractic knowledge and skill, Dr. Hausrath is a healer who genuinely cares for her patients. Over the years, I've recommended her to several of my friends, and all have told me what wonderful care they received from her. I especially like recommending her to people who are, like I once was, skeptical about chiropractic care. One final note: There are a couple of top-notch massage therapists who work in the office! Elizabeth and Rita are each experienced and skilled masseuses.

I have been seeing Dr. Hausrath (Dr. Lynn!) since about 1987. I received a coupon for a free…read moreevaluation in the mail in a ValPak, and thought I would try chiropractic. My mom had had a really bad experience with chiropractic when I was a kid, and she warned me away. I thought I would give it a try anyway, and met with Dr. Lynn. At the time I was a very active competitor in Judo, and I felt that if I kept my spine aligned it would help me in my competitions and work outs. My idea was that an aligned spine is less likely to be injured (and by extension other body parts would be safer), and, if there was an injury, a healthy spine would heal better. Dr. Lynn said my theory was a sound one, and she kept me competing and working out for many years! I have also seen Elizabeth and Rita, the massage therapists, for various muscular aches and pains, and they have both been GREAT! I remember several times barely being able to walk, only to feel better after seeing them! One caveat about chiropractic and massage, though: Everyone reacts to treatment differently, and sometimes relief is not felt for a couple of days, and sometimes you need more than one session for relief. Please keep that in mind before you decide it doesn't work! I injured my back at work, and the treatments given my Dr. Lynn, Rita, and Elizabeth helped me heal. I will never fully be 100%; however, if it were not for them I suspect I would have had to rely on pain meds more often than I do. Dr. Lynn has been very successful in recruiting her staff, and Brittany is a gem. I have seen her fill holes in the schedule in a moment's notice, professionally and charmingly. She has fit me and my husband in on more than one occasion when our "owies" couldn't wait! Oh, yes, one more thing: When I started going to the office, I lived 5 minutes away. Now I live 40 minutes away and STILL go there! In summary, Dr. Haurath, Elizabeth, and Rita will keep you going, keep you active, and keep you young!

If I need to email/phone about anything, her response is attacking (like there's something wrong with me if I have an adverse response to a medication and that upsets her or if there is an issue at the pharmacy, you are on your own). She is worth seeing if you can't get help from your GP and try lots of others. I did get one diagnosis from her that came from a test no one else would run. But if you have a complicated case and need someone who can keep atop of it, this isn't your doctor.

Marcey was 45 minutes late for our first appointment. I understand being unavoidably detained. However, she did not acknowledge the lateness, or apologize. When I met her inside her office, I realized that she had been the person who had come through the waiting room laden with shopping bags. I initially overlooked this, wanting to focus on getting help. Later I wondered how unavoidable the delay was. This was an auspicious beginning of the professional relationship. (As a health provider myself, I would not have handled lateness in this manner -- but, I wanted to give her a chance.) The most problematic aspect of her treatment, and the reason I left her care, had to do with demeanor. She was distant, lacking compassion, and judgmental. I felt worse after leaving her office. In terms of her clinical treatment, she offered no additional understanding, information. I have seen many western practitioners as well as eastern and alternative care practitioners, valued both, and have received great care from many. I am not a challenging person, nor a particularly challenging medical case. There are a small number of doctors I've encountered over the years whose care stands out in my mind on a continuum from unpleasant to harmful. Unfortunately, she is one of them.

The thing I like best about this style of chiropractic treatment, ART, is that there is an emphasis on healing in just a visit or two if possible and teaching you how to manage the injury or weakness through taping and/or exercises. This visit was for knee pain, some related to IT band tightness. Jess did some deep tissue work on the IT band with a pain-relieving lotion then did cupping with a little Chinese cupping therapy kit. With the cups in place she moved my leg in a way it wasn't able to move before she began the treatment because it was too painful. She explained that how she was using them was different than Chinese medicine because she wasn't using meridians. The cupping looked really freaky. Big disks of my skin were sucked up into the cups and the skin turned reddish purple. It can leave round bruises but I didn't get any. She slid the cups around a little with the aid of the lotion on my skin. She told me that I could purchase an inexpensive kit online and treat myself with the cups. I found a small one for about $15 and it has helped a lot. She also put two lengths of spider tech kinesiology tape around my knee to stabilize it. I've tried to replicate this at home though it is hard to get in the same exact spot but I think it has helped some anyway. She also suggested biking to strengthen my quadriceps. In any case, one visit with helpful suggestions and my knee is on the way to better when healing had been stuck. Highly recommended.
