    Absolutely the best Chripractor care I have ever received! The office ladies are amazing, Dr Martin…read morehas been a life saver. He listened and adjusted slowly to make sure I could tolerate. My neck has never felt so amazing and my migraines are gone. Best chripractor office in Chico. Everyone should go see Dr Martin!

    What happened to me at this clinic is unacceptable, unethical, and a complete violation of patient…read moretrust. I had a long-standing, positive relationship with this office. Christina McDonald, the owner, treated my father for years. Her son, Martin McDonald, had helped my son with shoulder dislocations -- and for those after-hours visits, he charged $200 cash and gave me his personal cell phone for direct contact. Every time -- without fail -- I made one thing crystal clear: NO NECK ADJUSTMENTS. EVER. We were not comfortable with them, and that boundary was firmly communicated, over and over again. I recently went in for treatment related to my hand, not my neck. I explicitly told Martin again: No adjustments. Especially no neck manipulation. During the first visit, he respected that and simply used tools and tape. I started to feel better. Then I returned 5 days later, asked for the same treatment, and was told to lie down. Without any warning, explanation, or consent -- he grabbed my head and cracked my neck. I was blindsided. Terrified. Shocked. And then he casually walked out and said, "That'll fix your hand." This was not a misunderstanding. This was not a mistake. This was a violation. I said NO. I said I was afraid. I said it multiple times, in multiple appointments. He did it anyway. As a result of that one reckless, unwanted act: * I've been to the ER three times * I've had multiple medical consultations and now need an MRI * I'm in constant, daily pain * I've been unable to work for over a month * I've had to hire help for basic tasks -- including someone to wash my hair * I can't drive, can't sit through a meal, can't do basic chores * I've lost money on a non-refundable vacation and Mother's Day plans * I've spent thousands of dollars trying to manage the damage through massage, medication, and anything I can find for relief I reached out to Martin directly using the personal number he gave me -- the same one he told me to use when he was collecting $200 in cash. I was angry, in pain, and feeling completely violated. Yes, I used profanity in my texts. I was furious, and rightfully so. But instead of taking responsibility, he dismissed everything. He said: "If it's money you want, call my ex-wife. She took it all." "I live on $1,000 a month." "Jesus doesn't like the F word." "This line is for friends and family -- call the office." So when he's taking money, I'm "family." But when he seriously injures me, I'm told to take a number? I then contacted Christina McDonald, hoping she would do the right thing. She admitted she was concerned about Martin, mentioned his divorce, possible health issues, and that there was no excuse for what happened. She seemed sympathetic and followed up with me -- promised I wouldn't need legal action, that she would make it right, and that she would talk to her husband. Then came the silence. More calls, more messages. Excuses. Eventually, I got a message through her secretary, saying they were now getting a lawyer involved. So after all this -- the pain, the trauma, the financial loss, the inability to function -- I was ignored, dismissed, and lied to. None of this would have happened if Martin had respected the word "NO." He was told not to touch my neck. He did it anyway. And now I'm the one left picking up the pieces of a life he disrupted with one reckless decision. This isn't just about a chiropractic adjustment. It's about consent. Boundaries. Basic human decency. And the complete lack of professionalism or accountability shown by this clinic. If you value your health, your safety, or your dignity -- think twice before trusting this place
