Testimonials
"A friend referred me to Espinosa Family Chiropractic Center in August 2009 because I had back and neck pain. My pain was affecting my life because it slowed me down. Before I came to Dr. Espinosa I tried Acupuncture (which also helps), pain pills for a little while, and I saw another chiropractor. Within 2 weeks I noticed a change of less frequent headaches and lower back pain, and my neck is better. I also noticed that I have a more positive attitude again.
I recommended chiropractic care to a co-worker because she hurt her back in a fall and she said she is seeing one. Now that I am feeling better I would like to go back to biking and working out."

"I first met Dr. Ray Espinosa in June 2009 at a Pops in the Park concert where he had set up a booth. Being curious about chiropractic and having my spine checked out I decided to take advantage of his introductory offer to have a complete set of x-rays, exam, and consultation for $20.00. Who could pass up such a deal, right?!? Plus, he seemed like a very nice person.
After my first office visit I found out that, while my spine was in great shape, I had a couple of issues with my neck vertebrae that I wasn’t aware of. I had also been experiencing severe tendonitis for almost 10 months in my right arm which none of the usual medical remedies seemed to help (e.g., ice, ibuprofen, physical therapy, electrode therapy, changing shoes, massage, x-rays). I decided that I’d give chiropractic treatments a try just to see, if maybe this might do the trick!
I began a 3 times a week program. Dr. Espinosa adjusted my back and neck where necessary and did deep massage on my right arm to try to reduce the scar tissue or whatever was causing the pain. After more than one month, my arm was still giving me problems but my allergies, which always have been a problem in the Sacramento Valley seemed to get fewer and farther between episodes. Could these chiropractic treatments somehow be opening my airways so that I was less prone to allergic reactions? Who knows, but I certainly liked the result! Also, I am an avid cyclist and with regular adjustments I wasn’t having any issues with shoulder or neck tightness like I used to.
Now, back to the right arm --- I went to a Chinese massage practice that specializes in foot reflexology and found that I had a huge knot in the right arch of my foot that was EXTREMELY painful when they pressed on it, but after a couple of treatments, the pain in my right arm started to go away. When I told Dr. Espinosa about this he looked at my foot and realized that this knot was definitely not normal. Because our internal lines are all connected he started doing deep massage on both my feet at my next treatments AND GUESS WHAT I am PAIN FREE. Dr. Espinosa did not balk at the idea of reflexology or other kinds of treatments --- he was more than willing to try a new technique and actually excited that we found something that actually worked. I still see the doc regularly and am thrilled to finally have complete usage and range of motion in my right arm once again! Now, after 5 months of 3X/week treatments I am on wellness care and try to get in to the office 2X/week just for maintenance! I figure my health and freedom of movement is well worth it!"

"In September 2009 I sought care at Espinosa Family Chiropractic because I knew the benefits of it as I have had care in the past in Ohio and Puerto Rico. I chose Dr. Espinosa because my friend, Ruthie said he did wonders for her! I was having problems in all areas, especially in my sleeping habits - I wasn’t getting good rest. To alleviate this problem I tried massages, medication, and changing my mattress.
On the first visit I noticed a change in the mobility of my neck, shoulders, and hips! In addition, I have been in a better mood and had better digestion. I recommend chiropractic care to everyone, even if it is to simply prevent what will eventually occur in the aging process. Now that I am feeling better I want to continue to have complete mobility of my neck and shoulders.
I just love chiropractors! But not all of the doctors have been as effective as Dr. Espinosa! I trust his hands and experience."
