TLDR: 48-year-old tries to play soccer and needs Rivulet Chiropractic to put her back together again. Dr. Christina has put me back together after injuries so many times that I've lost count. She has helped me recover from torn ligaments, a torn calf, hip pain, back and neck problems, and more. This week, I came into Rivulet Chiropractic limping because my hip was so tight and painful that I was having trouble sleeping. After a chiropractic adjustment with Dr. Christina, the relief was immediate. I felt dramatically better and walked out without the limp I walked in with. It's amazing what great chiropractic care can do. And she doesn't just help me recover from injuries. Regular chiropractic adjustments with Dr. Christina have also helped me stay migraine-free. As long as I keep up with my adjustments, my migraines stay away. I'm incredibly grateful that I found Dr. Christina and Rivulet Chiropractic. If you're looking for a skilled, caring chiropractor for injury recovery, back or neck pain, hip issues, or ongoing wellness care, I can't recommend her highly enough. read more

I am only on my second visit, but so far so good. I really like the professionalism and the X-rays and the treatment plan. They worked really hard on my Kaiser supplemental insurance plan info for me, that was nice. I like the approach so far, treatments are very good, I also like the stretches I was given today. The atmosphere is very relaxing and the office is very conveniently located. read more

I cannot recommend Dr. Christina highly enough. I came to her with persistent right shoulder pain that was limiting my mobility and impacting my daily activities. From my very first visit, she took the time to thoroughly understand my symptoms, explain the root causes, and develop a personalized treatment plan. What impressed me most was her combination of deep expertise, professionalism, and genuine care for her patients. She carefully monitored my progress, adjusted treatments as needed, and ensured I understood how to support my recovery outside of appointments. Thanks to her skill and dedication, my shoulder pain has improved dramatically, and I have regained both comfort and function that I had been missing for quite some time. Dr. Christina creates a welcoming and supportive environment, and it is clear that she is truly invested in helping her patients achieve the best possible outcomes. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and highly effective chiropractic therapist, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Christina. Thank you, Dr. Christina, for helping me get back to feeling my best! read more

Dr. Christina is personable and cares about her patients and their health concerns. I always feel so much better after her treatments. She also gives suggestions on what excercises to use at home to relieve muscle tension. I've been going to her for about years. On my first visit she took an xray and assessed my issues. Years later, I was in a car accident and she was able to compare before and after xrays to see where and how the accident affected my spine. At that point, she determined specific treatments that alleviated my discomfort. I was so glad! read more

Very kind, very professional. A trusted place that truly cares about your health and wellbeing.

About 7 years ago I underwent a fusion of my lumbar spine. I no longer have the ability to walk distances comfortably. Luckily I found someone who could help relieve my chronic low back pain. I found Dr. Alba of Rivulet Chiropractic. I found someone who was so profoundly caring and knowledgeable. I walk into her office and immediately feel relief. She cares about me. She makes my life so much more livable. I can't tell you how great that feels. If you're looking at someone who will make you feel better physically and mentally then she's for you. read more

Don't wait, book your appointment now! I had severe sciatic pain. I couldn't sit down. I could walk/stand up, for only a few minutes, before it hurt. I have been seeing Dr. Christina Alba three times a week, for almost a month. I can finally walk without pain, sit down and I can even put my socks and shoes on by myself - if you've ever had sciatica you know what a win that is! All of her adjustments are magical. I'm a big fan of the Rapid Release vibration therapy, and the Low-Level Laser Therapy - she has you covered for all your needs. Christina is wonderful, and I will continue to visit her long after the sciatica is gone, for maintenance! Appointment scheduling is seamless thanks to Jocelyn. She greats you with a beaming smile as you enter the office, and takes care of anything you need. I'm so glad I found Rivulet Chiropractic! read more

Great experience at Rivulet, Dr. Christina has nearly cured my back pain! When I came in about 8 weeks ago I could hardly stand up straight, had trouble sleeping, and had significant pain when getting on and off the table. Today I am a new person, almost done with treatments. Can't say enough about this practice, highly recommend. read more

Both me and my daughter go to Rivulet. They are friendly and even if Iwe're early, they see us right away. My dowager's hump is drastically smaller and I have more mobity in my neck than I've had in years. Thank you Christina and team! read more

Dr. Christina has been excellent to work with. From the moment you walk in, she makes you feel welcome, and the environment is so relaxing and calm. Over the last few months, she has been seeing me and my boys, and I've seen so much improvement in my lower back pain. Dr. Christina treats us all wonderfully, especially my little one who has autism. It's truly heartwarming to find such an inclusive and understanding environment where kids are welcome despite their differences. My older son is very fond of Dr. Santiago as well, making it a perfect fit for our family. I am incredibly grateful for the care and attention we receive at Rivulet Chiropractic. If you're looking for a place where your health and your family are genuinely cared for, look no further. read more

My Rivulet Chiropractic experience for the last month has been nurturing and relaxing. Yes relaxing. The patient protocol is organized and practical which I jam (A type) and we (patients) are all together sharing this nurturing energetic space. Dr. Christina Alba is fun, speaks fluent Spanish, is kind to her staff and trainees. Is very intuitive to my tension and tightness (from workouts and stress) and my bracing towards getting adjusted (I think we all do it). Her nurturing calms me and I leave feeling relaxed. My husband sees her now too! I highly recommend Rivulet! read more

Accidents happen and unfortunately a serious one happened to us. My partner and I ended up in ER and then we had to get chiropractor care after to cure our pain. Luckily, found Dr. Alba's office. I can only say good words about the place. The vibe at the office is very welcoming and positive. Jocelyn, the office manager, is very kind and attentive. She is on point with scheduling and accommodations whenever we could not make our appointment. The offices utilizes the latest technology from checking in to appointment reminders which make it easier to make to appointments. Dr. Alba is amazing professional who really knows her craft. Not only we got a great care via adjustments, massages, recommendations but also we got educated. Dr. Alba did several presentations and explained to us what is going in our spines, necks and how chiropractic adjustments affect them. Moreover, her positive and upbeat attitude makes the whole process easier. Finally, we had this pain after the accident on a daily basis and both of us got used to it. One day I woke up and I realized that I had not been feeling the pain for a couple of days. Dr.Alba's treatment completely cured my and partner's pain. It was unbelievable. Highly recommend this llace We are very grateful to Dr. Alba and Jocelyn. read more

Great place, great people, great results! Highly recommend. Even after one adjustment I am feeling better, though, regular treatments make real difference. read more

I love, love, love and look forward to my adjustments! They've really helped relieve some discomfort throughout my pregnancy. I'm always met with a warm welcome, the care feels so personal. I highly recommend Rivulet! read more

I feel safe and cared for. Personalized service and very competent, professional provider. Well run practice. My spinal issues are much improved and well maintained. read more

I'm known as a "legacy patient" :) of Rivulet Chiropractic, having been Dr. Christina's patient for several years. Through her expertise and caring manner, my TMJ disorder, uneven hips, contant pain in the occipital area of my neck, and regular low-back pain are all a distant memory!! I still see "Dr. C" on a regular basis because my scoliosis will never go away but can be managed, and she is helping my body to age as healthily and gracefully as possible. Rivulet offers a warm and welcoming office experience where I witness happy babies, children, teens, injury patients, pregnant moms, athletes and elders under Dr. C's care. read more

I went to Dr. Alba due to chronic headache and stomach issues. I had been working with my doctor for several years and nothing seemed to get to the root of the issues. After doing some research, I decided to give chiropractic care a try. I cannot believe the difference! Dr. Alba's office provide's a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. During your first visit she asks a lot of questions and comes up with a plan for your care. I have relief for my headaches and stomach issues for the first time in years....and I was a skeptic. I should also add that Jocelyn, who takes care of the insurance, billing, etc., side of things is so nice and extremely helpful. I highly recommend Rivulet Chiropractic. read more

They fixed me the first time with one shoulder. Now I'm back to get the other one fixed. So very nice and gracious there. I love going there, even if it means I have a chiropractic problem!!! read more

Dr. Christina is my go-to professional healer. She focuses on me in a very holistic manor and takes the time to address anything that needs healing. I am so great full for her skill and compassion. Kathy Bate read more

As this was my first time seeing a chiropractor, I was a bit nervous. Dr. Alba was amazing in how she listened to me, asked insightful questions, and then was able to diagnose my problem (which had not been identified by any of the doctors I had seen over the years). I'm optimistic the plan of treatment she has for me is going to help. The office is comfortable and inviting, and her assistant is also friendly and supportive. I highly recommend her! read more

I am new to Rivulet Chiropractic. I was struggling with sciatica and called Rivulet on the advice of a friend. All I can say is that so far it's been nothing short of fantastic. On my first appointment I was met by the very warm and friendly, Jocelyn at the front desk. She showed me around the office and told me what to expect. Having never seen a Chiropractor before, it was very helpful. Next I met Dr. Alba. She was super friendly and full of information. As I explained my symptoms she was very patient and immediately came up with a plan of action. She took XRays and talked me through what I was looking at and how we were going to correct the things that need correcting. I appreciate the general vibe around the office. Very chill yet very professional. So far so good. Thanks Rivulet Chiropractic! read more

2 months ago I finally decided to deal with some moderate to intense daily aches and pains in my arm with a visit to Dr. Christina at Rivulet Chiropractic. To give some perspective, just reaching to grab a salt shaker at the time was very uncomfortable. After my assessment including x-rays, and a careful explanation from Dr. C., I started on a treatment plan. Visits are quick and on-time, and have yielded not only great relief from pain, but also newly learned skills in the area of ergonomics, posture, and simple habits like drinking a lot more water and doing strengthening exercises, that I believe are contributing to my long term health and longevity. The adjustments are gradual and I'm a able to go right back to work after my appointment which I appreciate. Fast forward to today - I wake up and go about my day without considering my pain, I have lots of increased energy and flexibility, and I am one very happy client! If you are dealing with any structural issues or pain of your own, I urge you to book an appointment. read more

After initially seeing Dr Alba for a specific issue - which she properly diagnosed (other than something I thought it was) and resolving that issue quickly. I still go regularly for adjustments. She can always tell where I am carrying stress or when I've traveled etc. Appointments are quick and helpful. Staff is always welcoming and helpful. read more

I don't write reviews often, but being a patient at Rivulet Chiropractic has been an amazing experience. I came in with a lower back injury, and the care I have received from Dr. Christina Alba and her wonderful assistant Jocelyn has been top tier. She is extremely knowledgable, supportive, and caring, and truly goes above and beyond to provide the highest level of care. She has not only adjusted me regularly and walked me through my treatment, but she has also provided me with resources to continue my care outside of the office and progress through my goals - she has sent me youtube videos on yoga, and taught me some of her favorite stretches! Jocelyn has so kindly helped me navigate my appointments around my ever-changing, crazy life-schedule. Together they foster an incredibly healing and nurturing environment and community that I just feel blessed to have found!! Highly recommend. read more

I have been truly lucky to be a patient here. I'm so grateful for the quality of care I've received for over a year now.

Dr. Christina is wonderful! I have been taking both of my boys 5 & 6.5 to her for a couple of months now and we have already seen huge improvement. Less stomach aches, more milestones being met and overall better moods. She always communicates what she is doing and makes the boys feel so comfortable. She also has the loveliest assistant Elsa who is so wonderful with the kids and helps keep them happy while they wait. I highly recommend Dr. Christina! read more

I encountered some unexpected upper back / shoulder pain that I was hoping would just go away. Sadly, it continued to the point where my only relief was laying flat on my back. After reading some Yelp reviews, I went to see Dr. Christina. Since Day 1, she has been professional, positive and pleasant by listening to my complaints and working her magic during our sessions. She also made sure I was doing my homework on my own to aid in my recovery. It wasn't an overnight fix (are they ever?), but I'm happy to say I'm currently pain free! Bonus: Dr. Christina's assistant Jocelyn easily helped figure out my health insurance coverage (quite possibly the quickest and most stress-free insurance experience I've ever faced), and she consistently backs it up with the same smile and positive attitude as Dr. Christina. I'm forever grateful, and would highly recommend Rivulet Chiropractic if you're looking for treatment! read more

I highly recommend Rivulet! I've been having constant issues with my right hip and hip flexor area so I decided I need to get this checked out. They not only discovered the problem but found several others that would affect me in the future if I didn't take care of it. Keeping my body in good health is part of my job as a fitness professional but I also wanted to continue to live a long, pain free life. They set me up with a great plan and I am already feeling so much healthier after only several visits! They are very professional and know each and everyone of their patients, their needs, and great at communicating with you. Go for a consultation and see for yourself! read more

Dr. Christina is an awesome Chiropractor. Her adjustments leave me feeling great! I have noticed improved posture as a result. She has also helped me recover from acute injuries that happen from time to time, kink in the neck, headache, fatigue etc. She has an X-ray machine which is very helpful to see what is going on with the spine. Her staff is warm and welcoming. She Also works with all ages from infants to elderly which I think is very cool! read more

Christina has helped me so much! I highly recommend this practice for all your back aches and pains!

Dr. Christina and the whole Rivulet team is everything you want in chiropractic care. I had met Dr. Christina and Dr. Brian last year during a job interview and I really liked their philosophy. I ended up taking another position (also in the wellness field) but I always admired this working couple and their approach to chiropractic health. I never thought I would be that person at age 44 that would complain about aches and pains. But after years of neck pain, I had gotten to the point where I couldn't move my neck because it was so painful. Getting out of bed was challenging. In order to change lanes while driving, I literally had to move my entire torso. How dangerous is that? Time to call Dr. Christina. Luckily she remembered me and we scheduled a consultation. We discussed at length...and I mean great length...of my ailments. I have always believed that the physical body and the mind work together like yin and yang and the pain really affected my mood. She did xrays. Our next appt focused on how my current spinal health and next steps. I signed up for the next 3 months of care without hesitation. I've been going for a month and huzzah....my neck moves freely. She also helped alleviate pain in my right knee... double huzzah. Not all chiropractors are the same. My whole life, I've been told to avoid chiropractors at all costs. I think the few bad chiropractors have really left a bad mark on the industry. I saw a different chiropractor a couple of years ago for the same issue (and he was highly recommended to me). No xrays and he stated that he could fix me in 4 sessions. I was never "fixed" and I was a several hundred dollars poorer. Front desk staff, Kelsey, is warm and friendly. Of course, the doctors are so great! Very involved in the local community which I value. Don't be that person that is constantly complaining about aches and pains. Call Rivulet! read more

Rivulet Chiropractic is the best chiropractic office I have ever been to, and I have been to numerous. Dr. Christina Alba does it all! I came to her because I used to have neck pain and headaches, and she has helped me get rid of them. I do not have headaches or neck pain anymore. She also got rid of my low back pain so I can move my body better. I am able to do my job again! She is also great with adjusting kids as a pediatric chiropractor! I did not know a child could get adjusted until I saw several in her office. My 8 year old and I come to Rivulet to get adjusted on a regular basis! Thanks Dr. Christina for all you do! I cannot recommend this place more!!! read more

I've seen Dr Christina for several years including prenatal and postpartum periods of my mom journey. She is very knowledgeable about the changing needs of your body throughout pregnancy and I believe it was chiropractic care that made my second pregnancy, labor and delivery far more tolerable - and ensure a more resilient postpartum recovery. Every expecting mama should be a patient in her care. read more

Skeptic turned believer. I had extreme pain in my elbow joints which came on suddenly. I thought maybe I had just over did it and tried various methods to relieve the pain which did nothing. I finally went to see my family doctor and all they wanted to do was give me a shot. What??? Since I could not identify an exact "accident" as to why I would have the sudden pain they just told me I had strained my muscles. I convinced them to send me to physical therapy to see if they could help. They were nice and patient with me trying to find solutions, different stretches, ice/heat, over the counter anti inflammatory meds...... all this was temporary and with in hours or days I was back to square one. Sometimes in more pain then when I started. So I sought out other things to try.... massage therapy, cupping... anything to take away the pain. Finally a co worker said I should go see his chiropractor. I replied... it's my arms that hurt.. not my back.. ... but grudgingly made an appointment to go see Dr. Christina. YAY!!! Finally answers and sad that I waited so long. (Seriously.. why did I wait so long??) Dr. Christina was patient with me and explained it all to me. Showed me on the xrays how the cervical part of my spine was compressing and what was more then likely the source of my pain and laid out a course of action. Of course I jumped on board since nothing had worked so far. Five months of pain to the point of almost in tears over picking up a mug of tea to now able to do that and so much more after only one month of being a client here. ONE MONTH!! I wasted FIVE months on crap. Her and Dr. Brian are FANTASTIC!! They make you feel welcome and have truly made my life bearable again. I can only imagine what I will feel like after the next few months. I can now say I am a believer in chiropractic services. They are AMAZING here and again... wondering why I waited so long. (Don't wait as long as I did) Get over to Rivulet and let them show you how wonderful they are. Thank you Dr. Christina and Dr. Brian for making me a believer and helping me on this journey of getting better. read more

I am so grateful to have found Rivulet Chiropractic! Dr. Christina Alba is great. I appreciate how she takes the time to educate you about how your back pain is effecting your whole body. I am still in the process of getting better, but my back and neck pain/agility has improved so much since I started seeing her last month. I enjoy going there and am also very thankful that they take my insurance. I would highly recommend Rivulet Chiropractic for anyone looking for a chiropractor. read more

I started seeing Dr. Christina when I was 9 weeks pregnant. I saw her weekly and then 2 times a week in my 3rd trimester. I normally suffer from sciatica pain but did not experience any pain throughout my pregnancy. Dr. Christina gets to know each of her patients and is extremely personable. I highly recommend her for both prenatal and general chiropractic care. read more

The level of personal care Dr Christina and her team offer is unmatched. Under her care I am starting to feel like a new person.

Dr. Christina is a wonderful chiropractor. She is very thorough and is gifted with a calming personality and great skills. They do everything they can do be accommodating to busy schedules and the appointments are fast so you are in and out. Highly recommend. read more

Dr. Christina saved me! My back was so messed up that I had a headache and felt awful for four days. Literally minutes after she worked on me I felt better. It was truly amazing. Now I go to her regularly and haven't had headaches and she fixes me up every time I do something to myself on the soccer field. Going to see Dr. Christina regularly is truly one of the best gifts that you can give yourself. Don't be as dense as I was and wait until you are in pain to see Dr. Christina. read more

This is a fantastic practice! Dr. Brian and Dr. Christina both take the time to understand any pain you may have and are very thorough with their treatment plans. Being able to see my spine/posture via photos and xrays was very powerful and made the chiropractic idea easier to understand. The environment is warm and inviting and the front desk team always greets you with a smile. One of my first adjustments I went in with clogged up sinuses and I was in a bad mood. Dr. Brian adjusted me and just like that; sinuses cleared and my mood lifted as if someone had just given me great news. An amazing testament to the power of chiropractic treatment. I feel more aligned and stable and can feel the difference in everyday life as well as in the gym as I am able to generate more power. Highly recommmend! read more
