Like I said in my previous review, I think Chiropractique is great! The misunderstanding over the time was explained to me and I understand completely.
I recently went back for a follow up and my back is feeling better than ever!

I was gifted a deep tissue massage at Chiropractique by my friend, Dave. (Awww!) The appointment was for a Sunday afternoon around 12pm. He dropped me off right in time for the massage and a had to wait just a bit in the waiting room which was super small but not busy so I was able to jump into a massage chair for a little pre-massage. Uhhhhhhh....best massage chair ever. Forget the nail salon ladies. This massage chair gave me a better deep massage than some actual masseurs. There were lots of holistic-y type magazines to read and a tv with soothing tunes. Albeit small, I made myself comfortable
My masseur, Riley, greeted me and was very friendly and warm. The room was a typical massage room...nothing more nothing less. When he entered, he was specific to ask me on the areas I needed concentration. What I like best was the fact that he was not too talky. I was able to relax and concentrate on the deep massage which was, at some times, wonderfully painful. Riley did a great job in knocking out a terrible kink/pain in my back that I had for months. His work has lasted a couple weeks and it might be time to return. He mentioned that he was an acupuncturist as well and I'm tempted to try that out for a couple of other ailments.
I left with a huge bottle of water and a smile. Although a very small office, Chriropratique proved to be friendly, professional and convenient. -

CHIROPRACTIQUE!
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I love you...like a love song...
And what's not to love. You got Geoff and his Yoda-magic in acupuncture and Dr. Beau with his spine-aligning bear hugs and sparkling personality that leave you feeling all shiny and new. Your treatments, dare I say... they're my exact brand of heroin.
I love the waiting room with the massage chairs, electric sheep and hot yogi tea. Oh yeah, and those quirky little books, especially "F in exams" and "cake wrecks." I challenge myself to read one of these books during the 15 minute chair massage before being taken back to not LMFAO. How zen, right?
And with that said, YES. I highly recommend you get your @$$ to Chiropractique. :D -

All that you have read is true. This place is awesome. Just try it, you will be back.
Waiting room is great with all the massagers and TV.
The Exam:
Dr. Brain talked to me for a long time before he started his exam.
My adjustment:
Dr Brian scanned and felt my back before adjusting.
The adjustment was not hard and jerky, very smooth and everything went back into place.
Next day still feel good, a little sore in one spot because things have not been in the "right" place for several years.
I will be recommending this place to all my friends. -

I've been seeing Dr. Beau on a weekly basis for the past month. I don't remember the last time my back has felt this good in years.
My first visit with Dr. Beau was also my first chiropractic adjustment ever. He was extremely thorough in explaining everything to me and making sure I was comfortable during the entire process. I have to admit, if you've never been to a chiropractor before, the first time your back REALLY cracks or pops is kind of shocking. It was so incredible how different my back felt after the initial appointment. I was so relaxed that on the drive home I had to put effort into staying awake at the wheel.
Since then, every week has been getting better. Today marks the first time I haven't had to whine to my boyfriend to give me a back massage for an entire week, so I'm sure he'd give Dr. Beau five stars too. -

I have been to at least 6 or 7 chiropractors over the years and I can honestly say that Dr Beau of Chiropractique is the BEST by far. Professional and caring, he takes time with his patients and makes sure they get the best treatment possible.
I have also had a few massages and they have all been very good (and significantly less expensive than spa pricing). This place is awesome! -
Review from Jen P.

With a little background information. I'm only around my 20s, petite and haven't had any injuries or broken bones in the past. However, my lower back, neck and shoulders, wrists have been aching for several months so I carry Bengay, Icyhot and heat pads everywhere I go.
There was a point where I couldn't take the pain anymore, I decided to give Chiropractique a try after seeing all the positive comments this office has received, I couldn't wait to try it out for myself especially my whole body was in pain at the time. I must admit Dr.Beau is very nice and caring. He explained thoroughly what might have caused my back, neck and shoulders pain, promised to fix my problems and also if I don't feel better within a certain amount of time, he will go out his way to find a solution until I get better.
Without any doubts, my whole body felt pain-free for the next 2 days. Then the pain slowly came back. I was scheduled to come back 2 weeks later, but within a week I got a phone call to say that Im supposed to come in. I called back right away and spoke directly to Dr.Beau that I'm not supposed to be back for another week, he then apologized and said he would put me down for the correct time.
I was excited to go back and see Dr.Beau. But since that incident, I called couple hours before my appt to make sure they had me down for the correct time. Surprisingly, the receptionist said I was scheduled for the week before and not on that day. Unfortunately, I couldn't come in that day since it was all booked and I had work for the next available spots.
To sums up, my first time at the office was excellent, I had to pay $75 out-of-pocket since their service didn't accept any insurance. Im a full time student and works part time, so $75 means a lot to me. If I was willing to put out that much, I expected the service to be better at least for the first couple visits, but unfortunately that didn't happen.Comment from Beau C. of Chiropractique 12/20/2011

I've had multiple services from them including great adjustments (Dr Beau & Dr Brian), acupuncture (Geoff) and massage and can't speak highly enough of the consistent quality treatment and awesome experience.
The other core characteristic I really like is Dr Beau & Dr Brian's focus on whole health and improvement, not repeating adjustments. When I was experiencing an unusual lower back pain Dr Beau suggested acupuncture instead of an adjustment. I was skeptical of needles fixing anything, but couldn't argue with the amazing end result that Geoff provided. The next day I felt incredibly better than I had in years! Geoff subsequently gave me stomach herbs that have been a miracle at fixing what 15 years of seeing various medical doctors haven't been able to correct. I can't explain it, or argue it. I can only say that now my herbs, not PeptoB or Tums or Lactaid, go with me everywhere!
Beyond the consistently great treatment, the staff is extremely friendly, the environment is relaxing, the rates are amazing, and the accessibility of being open every day is incredible. I've seen chiropractors all around the country and other countries and can genuinely say that Chiropractique sets one of the highest standards for others to follow. -
Review from Adam J.

What can I say that hasn't already been said about Chiropractique? Uh oh...I just challenged myself. Ok here goes: The folks at Chiropractique are sweeter than a bag of Fun Dip with a Pepsi chaser. Just lovely people, and a very nice office. I called them at noon and they managed to get me in at 6pm that night...and certainly not because they weren't busy. There was a regular flow of people in and out of the office the whole time I was there.
The waiting room has a water therapy table, those crazy Brookstone giant massage chairs, magazines, a huge fish tank, a tv, and lots of interesting art on the walls.
I saw Dr. Beau who was very friendly, explained everything to me in detail, made sure I understood what he was going to do, then did it right! I've never been to a Chiropractor before so it was a totally new experience for me, but he made me feel right at home. Not only that, but the adjustment he did seems to be exactly what I needed. When I walked in there my back was all kinds of messed up...had been for about 5 days after sleeping 2 nights on the worst hotel bed of all time. Pain was about a 7 out of 10 when I walked in, then down to a 4 when I left. Accounting for the body healing from the adjustment, which he said would take a day or two, the next evening it was down to a 2 and the day after next it was gone.
Now, I suppose one could say it's possible that it was just my body's natural healing process all along, but with consistent pain for 5 straight days, then a 30% reduction immediately, 50% reduction within 1 day and 100% reduction by day 2, I can't help but feel like something Dr Beau did at least helped the process along...not to mention that the adjustment itself felt like something I was badly needing.
I've already referred one person there, and I'm sure that's the first of many. -

If you are looking for somewhere to get a massage, you have to go to Chiropractique. I have now gotten massages with both Randy and Kimberlee and they are both fantastic. They have very different styles but they are both amazing and very caring. The entire setting is very relaxed and friendly and I have never encountered anyone there who doesn't go out of their way to say hi and make sure you are comfortable! I really could go on and on but instead I think you should stop reading and call for an appointment :)

GEOFF is ABSOLUTELY one of the BEST in San Diego!
After years (about 2-3) of chronic upper back pain, I went to see Geoff for a hail mary. First of, I was late but nevertheless I was greeted by Jamie (awesome receptionist) filled out paper work and sent to a sharper image kinda massage chair. I was then called back from Geoff who made it a point to see me and discuss with me what the option were and what was going on with my body. He then did a combo accupunture/cupping treatment on my back. I waited until today to write the review because I wanted to make sure I still felt like I was on cloud 9.... so to sum things up: I am a lifetime patient of Chiropractique! -

IF YOU LIKE A FLUFFY SPA EXPERIENCE WITH A BIG HUG AT THE END, COME HERE.
"Get it, Doctor Beau!"
That's what I say when I'm on the table and getting ready for my Beau Job. Sometimes other chiropractors aren't strong enough move my junk around, but Dr. Beau gently corrects stubborn vertebrae and tells those bad boys "Get back to where you once belonged!" When I walk out, I'm balanced and can feel all the energy flow return to my body.
"You just showed 'em what's what," I say when he's done. We both laugh and hug each other before I walk out the door. -

Dr. Beau is great and the office itself is a sanctuary, as soon as you walk in you're instantly put in a state of relaxation, thanks to the massage chairs and the very calming decor. The whole staff makes you feel right at home and while your sitting there you almost forget that actually there for an appointment. It's probably the best experience you can have from beginning to end at a chiropractors office, I don't know why anyone would go anywhere else.

Chiropractique is an urban oasis of wellness! Even though the staff are hip and cool and they are above all else very professional and friendly!
They have a great prep room with various massage chairs and contraptions including a hydro-message-doo-hickey. You get 10 minutes or so to hang out and get your body warm before your main service.
I am a massagephile and had Riley work on me for the first time - AH-mazing! I typically like my massages to be enjoyable and hate it when a therapist spends too much time working on my knots. Ouch! Riley gave me just what I needed - a relaxing and enjoyable exerience while also peppering in some of the work I needed. He was very connected to my breath as we went through the session.
No doubt that I will definitely be coming back and recommending them to my peeps. Also looking forward to checking out their other services: acupuncture, herbs, and obviously their chiropractic service. -

Does your chiropractor call you on a Sunday evening offering to bring a table to your house to adjust you?
Does he literally welcome you with open arms and a huge smile when you limp into his office?
Is every one of the office staff worthy of five Yelp stars and a snap?
If not, get thee to Dr. Beau Casey at CHIROPRACTIQUE urban retreat * north park.
The man has God working through his hands.

Review from Kerry G.

About a year and a half ago, I woke in the middle of the night in a full back spasm. I was literally doing a yogi style back-bend in my bed. After a long night riddled with fear, and lots of pain, I got up and found that something was terrible wrong. My right rib was like, sticking out, and was obviously out of alignment. You can imagine my extended panic attack. In addition to having a now visible rib, my back felt like a baby rattle every time I took a deep breath. I was able to get an appointment with Dr Beau that day, and after our initial consultation and first adjustment, there was instant relief.
Dr. Beau really took time with me. That was important, because as much pain as I was in there was an equal amount of fear about having my back adjusted. Dr. Beau explained his techniques to me, and that put me at ease. I never felt like I was being fed a line either, I have had other chiropractors in the past try to sell me something that was just not relevant to me. I feel that the people here are genuine, knowledgeable, and are really good at communicating to their clients about what they do.
It took a few sessions, but eventually, my rib cooperated and my back has been better ever since. I still go in for occasional maintenance, and the dialogue that has developed with Dr. Beau is that of a supportive healthcare provider, the kind I wish all doctors could be. We discuss diet and excercise, and no question is unwelcome!
The environment here is a great balance between spa and wellness center, and the massage chairs while you wait for your adjustment are fantastic.
Overall, my experiences here have been wonderful! I recommend it to anyone! -

Update:
Had a follow up appointment with Dr. Beau and he was wonderful. He apologized for my bad first experience with Chiropractique. He even offered to comp my follow up visit. (Wow)
This time, it was more what I had hoped for. Dr. Beau explained everything thoroughly and tested my range of motion to pinpoint problem areas and painful spots before he began adjusting my back. I also didn't feel rushed this time around. :)
So I will be coming back to Chiropractique after all. Already have a follow up visit with Dr. Beau next week. He's really great, I would suggest requesting him to anyone looking for a back adjustment.

I saw Dr. Brian for a initial consult & a chiropractic adjustment. Although Dr. Brian is a very nice guy, the way he talked was as if he was trying to sell me on the idea of Chiropractic care, even though I've been to a Chiropractor before. Also, my last Chiropractor performed a full evaluation on my back before he started the adjustment, but for this first visit with Dr. Brian there was non. I was also not really given much of an opportunity to discuss my problem areas. It all felt very rushed. Today, the day after my adjustment, my back is very very sore. I started feeling the soreness in my back and neck last night only a few hours after the adjustment. However, I have heard that this is sometimes normal after an adjustment so I will wait a few more days to see if it goes away.
But another problem I've suddenly discovered is that after he cracked my shoulder it now hurts when I stretch my arm forward and is sometimes just achy. I didn't have this problem before.
I agree with all the other reviews about the decor and atmosphere. The waiting room is definitely very zen and I tried out the water massage bed and that was very nice.
I was really hoping to feel like a million bucks like the other reviewers did, but unfortunately I don't. However, I haven't totally given up yet. I've made a followup appointment with Dr. Beau next week. I hope it's a better experience with him, especially since most of the positive back adjustment reviews are about Dr. Beau.
I will follow up with a review after my next appointment.
Additional note:
On their website it says a massage is included with their adjustment sessions and with your initial visit. When I went there was NO massage and I definitely wasn't even with Dr. Brian for more than 15, 20 minutes max. -
Review from Baby B.

Okay, okay, I was skeptical at first too, but really they are that good!
I had a sudden pain in my back about 2 months ago. I needed to see a chiropractor quickly. I read some of the reviews online, crossed my fingers and called to see if they could squeeze me in that night. Luckily they were able to and I saw Dr. Brian.
Super professional, very knowledgeable and hands of magic. Honestly. This place is worth going to. You start off each appointment with about 15 minutes in the massage chair or on the water massage table. Then you are brought back into one of the rooms for your adjustment. I've gone 4 or 5 times now and each adjustment has been quick and easy. I had never been to a chiropractor before so I was nervous, but Dr. Brian put me at ease.
Another thing I LOVE is that they don't try to convince you to visit more often than you need to. The goal is to get you feeling better and keep you that way. They recommend that if you feel off and want to come back, make an appointment, otherwise take it easy and you're on your own.
Great experience! -

Service was very friendly here. I brought someone here for a birthday surprise and they really enjoyed their massage here. The Bliss Swedish massage is $60 for 75 min [15 min in the waiting area where you can choose one of the massage chairs or water massage table]. They offer you water or hot tea as you relax and wait for your appointment. I did not get services on this visit, only the birthday girl, and they invited me to come enjoy the massage chairs while I waited.
I don't even live in San Diego but I was highly considering going here for chiropractic work. -
Review from del r.

I was rear-ended a few days ago and was having some back, neck and arm pains. I told my manager and mentioned I was seeking chiropractic care. She referred me to Dr. Beau. So, I called and made an appointment. I really wasn't expecting anything out of the ordinary just your basic, regular chiro treatment. You know, nothing else but, the regular type of crack-a-lacking care I've received at every other adjuster. The kind that leaves you thinking "Did it work? Do I really feel any better? I think I can tell but, I'm not sure." But, you keep going anyway. I really just had no idea that chiro could be so... so... miraculous. And, in walks Doctor Beau....
So, it starts off with a cool, chic salon.. errrr.. office. You get in, you're welcomed and offered tea. I declined and filled out my forms. I was then walked over to the pre-cracking, post waiting room area. A place I like to call "my dream living room". It has a couple of massaging chairs and a hydro-massage table. I was laid to rest on the table. Gah! I sooooo need one at home! When I got up my whole body was tingling and I must have had a stupid grin on my face because Dr. Beau laughed a little, then walked me into his office.
Immediately, I felt safe and secure. The guy just gives off a vibe. Aside from being charming, funny and very talented, I think he might be clairvoyant. He knew EXACTLY where I ached and how to fix it. He said I'd need a few more sessions but, honestly I felt INSTANTLY better, and I mean instantly. I had been having headaches and emotional instabilities after the collision but, after he was done and I stood up, I realized I could see clearly now! The rain was gone. Gone were the dark clouds that had me blind. Yes, folks, it was gonna be a bright, bright BRIGHT sun shiny day.
I'm still not back to the way I felt before the bang but, damn near close. In one session? Are you kidding? If would have know this man was right here, in my own neighborhood, I would have never spent a year going to two other people. I mean, the man even helped my foot! My damn foot with the so-called "hairline fracture" that's been in pain for months!! Well, that's still not 100% either but, I can use it much more now. And, has better range of motion than it's had in over 3.5 months! I'm still in awe. I can bend!!!!

When you first come here, be prepared to pay a huge fee. I think I paid over $140 just for my first visit. But when you return to them, you only pay under $80 for a massage and a quick 3 min body cracking. This place is okay. The chairs you sit in while you wait was not that great. Seems to be placed just to keep you busy while they are working on other clients. Nothing spectacular. My massage person was a girl, and she did a fairly good job. 1 hour of massaging and some deep tissue areas. She has pretty firm pressure and gets the kinks out for sure. There was more pain than pleasure and that's how it should be to get those tight muscles released. Felt light a feather leaving to the chiropractor. The 5 min session was worth it and relaxed most of the tension in my body that I had.
PROS::
1] You come in tensed, and leave feeling like a feather
2] The deep tissue areas really helps loosen your mucles
3] Single rooms are nice a quiet
CONS::
1] You will get charged for everything down to each deep tissue choices.
2] If you're a newcomer, it can be expensive
3] To be honest those chairs don't really help in the waiting room.
4] Parking is sometimes an issue, but you can mostly find street parking to pay the meters -

I can't imagine giving any less than 5 stars! I've been to Dr. Beau several times, and Dr. Brian once. Although, they do have a bit of a different style, i still love them both. I've been meaning to go again
Parking and getting to the location was fine for me. They have metered parking, but on Sundays its free and super easy to find parking.
You start off each session by filling out some papers to show your progress and which areas are in most pain. Then the receptionist helps you out onto a massage chair for about 15 minutes, while getting you some tea or water, and you read some books or stare at the TV, and that TV with its colors can be quite mesmerizing. I once was even given a free massage while i waited cause there was time in between clients.
I've been here several times since i needed several adjustments before i felt better, and Dr. Beau is such a sweetheart. He always greets me with a huge smile and cheers me on each time we hear a crack and my back feels better. He also gives hugs hehe =]. I was a bit scared my first time, but he talks you through it and makes you feel more at ease. Even though I do get scared when he cracks my neck area, it really is nothing to worry about because it doesn't hurt and is fast. The price is good, especially with the great service. Its all listed on the website, and occasionally i see specials that are advertised on yelp. He even tries to make the "good feeling back" effect last longer by telling me stretching tips or talking about ergonomics.
Another good thing about this are the hours and ease of scheduling an appointment. I never have to wait long for my next appointment, and the hours are great for people that work. Open on the weekends too! -

I just had a massage with Kimberlee and it was fantastic. She listened well to the weird quirks I have and checked in often to make sure I was comfortable. The massage was great - perfect pressure and my sore neck, jaw and shoulders feel better than they have in weeks. The office was relaxing, the staff really nice, and it is a great value. I highly recommend.

Best massage I'ved received in San Diego. I guess they raised the price though, because the first time I went it was $50. for a one hour Bliss massage (which was truly blissful), but when I went a couple of weeks ago it was $60 (still truly blissful). Worth the money, for sure. I've gotten the neck and shoulder enhancement for an extra $15, which felt great on my super tense shoulders and neck area. I had Riley as my masseuse both times, he's awesome -- with the perfect deep pressure, skill, and sincerity.
They even gave me an ice cold bottle of MetroMint water, which was interesting and refreshing. Definitely a nice touch to a great massage. -

I just left my hour massage and feel great. I was a little unsure when I was told that the first 15 minutes of the 75 minute massage was a chair massage. (I did not fully read the description of what the 75 minutes included) I actually choose to lay on the aqua therapy bed which was quite relaxing. I think I had just fallen asleep when Riley came to get me to take me back to begin hour massage. He listened to my needs and did everything that I asked him to do. My main focus of this massage was to relax because I have had a lot of stress at work lately. I am running a 1/2 marathon tomorrow so it was really important that we did not work on the legs too much before the run. It was perfect!
I will definitely go back here. -
Review from Ace D.
I have nothing but to express only kind words for Dr. Beau and company. He helped answered all my many questions and concerns regarding their other services they offer. When the opportunity came that I was in need of a tune up, Dr. Beau hooked me up!
Just as with any (dental, doctor, haircut, etc.) visit waiting in the lobby can be intense or boring. But not here. They have massage chairs waiting for you. Just sit down and relax, while they offer to set the controls and offer some water.
There's something just relaxing in that lobby room. Is it the decor? The aquarium filled with colorful fish? The flat screen on the wall hypnotizing you with glowing shakes? The smooth music blaring? That scent of wonderful aroma lurking among you there?
Dr. Beau's work space is very relaxing. In fact, it's other side of that extreme aquarium. After going over my back history, I explained of what was told to me at another chiro visit. He ensured me that the other chiro doc was trying to scare me to force me to come weekly.
After my first adjustment, I felt like a million bucks. No only did it feel like I was a few inches taller, but it made me realize the importance of aligning your back. I returned a few weeks later, which it was even better. Dr. Beau was all over my back like a grand piano. Thanks again for the adjustments. I'm about to call again for another session.

A family member (Ms. ROTD) referred me to CHIROPRACTIQUE and I'm so glad that I took her up on her advice. Dr. Beau is a magnificent human being. He really cares about everybody he treats and is focused on making you feel better in both body and mind.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU COME HERE! -

I couldn't turn my neck one way or the other after months of staring at textbooks for hours at a time. I found this place on Yelp and saw they had a special running, so I gave it a shot.
Gotta say it was a pretty cool experience. The place is very relaxing, clean and professional. The receptionist brought me a cup of tea, and invited me to go hang out in the relaxation room. Relaxation room? Yes, relaxation room. Massage chairs, heated water beds, fish tanks, etc.
After about 10 minutes Dr. Josh called me back to his office and he went to work. It sounded like a machine gun firing when he adjusted my back. Hadn't been adjusted in years but man it felt good.
It took probably 5-7 days for my body to react to the adjustment and be fully pain free because it was so out of whack. But Josh really did the trick.
If you are having any kind of joint pain or tension, Chiropractique will not disappoint. -

Aaaahhhhh. The Bliss massage is truly blissful. The pictures posted are exactly what you'll find. The place is very modern and tranquil. The front door is actually on Louisiana St. not El Cajon Blvd. but still very easy to find. The receptionist was extremely friendly and offered me a glass of water or hot tea. Sat in a massage chair for 15 minutes before my masseuse led me back to the massage room. I tell ya, I was so relaxed I was worried I'd start snoring or drooling! I'd be really interested in making this a monthly appointment.
My only complaint: you shouldn't have to drive yourself home after a relaxing massage :) -

I know I gave this place a 5-star to begin with, but I have to say that since going here a few months ago my wellness has improved dramatically and I feel literally a thousand times better after every visit.
Dr. Beau, Dr. Brian and Geoff have all mastered the balance of being super professional while maintaining friendliness, and they are all experts in their field. I've been seeing chiropractors / acupuncturists for years, and these guys are for sure the nicest. They always have tips for you based on what do do on a day-to-day basis and they're dedicated to making you feel better asap.
If you've been questioning chiropractic or acupuncture, just come in and see for yourself. Alternative medicine can definitely be a bit unusual to understand, but once you go and start feeling better you'll realize it's totally worth it.
Another thing worth noting is how awesome the waiting room is. There's four massage chairs and a water table, which is sure to put me to sleep every time I lay down on it. It also smells amazing in there, and the dark, cool colors make you instantly relaxed. My favorite part? The funky magazines that are always present: Interview, 944 and Real Simple -- not a Newsweek in sight!
This practice has definitely gotten popular though, so it's best to book in advance. Happy adjusting Yelpers!1 Previous Review: Show all »

This place is the best! Not only is the ambiance great, but so are the staff, and Dr's. Both Dr Beau, and Dr. Brian are experts. You will feel great after going here. Love the massage chairs before the adjustment too.
If you are looking for a Chiropractor this is the best place in town....Maybe the world ! -

I got into an accident a couple of months ago. Great time. Ask me about it next time we're drinking.
After said accident, I was suffering from crazy lower back pain that I've never experienced before. The kind that keeps you from having a full night's sleep. The kind that bothers you while you're at work and never lets up.
Sadly, "traditional medicine" (i.e. let's prescribe a lot of meds to numb the pain so you can sleep, but never really address the cause of pain) doesn't work too well for me. Believe me, I tried to do it that way and the medicine was not helping in the least. So after hearing about Chiropractique for a couple of years, I finally decided to take a non-traditional approach and give chiropractic care a shot. I'm glad I did.
I've been seeing Dr. Brian going on two months now, and slowly but surely, I'm getting back to the fighting shape. It helped that he's super knowledgeable and took the time to explain why he does what he does when he does what he does (and by that I mean the actual chiropractic care).
I've also been giving acupuncture a shot to address some of the muscle pains I'm still experiencing. Fortunately, Geoff is definitely on top of his game, and like Dr. Brian, takes the time to explain what the acupuncture is actually addressing and how it works, which is actually quite relaxing considering the fact that you're going to be stuck with a bunch of needles in you.
As someone who until now had never considered either one of these treatments as part of a healing process, I have to say that I'm supremely happy with the results I've had so far. So much so that I would continue to go on a regular basis once I'm back to my old rump-shaking self.Listed in: Top Notch Hoes Get the Most…

Love this place! I've been a few times and always get excellent service from everyone I come into contact with.
The Bliss Massage is one of the best deals in SD at $60 for an hour & 15 minutes. Most recently, I got the Bliss Massage with Riley & it was the best massage I have ever gotten. He was great! He listened to my requests and focused on the areas I asked him to. I will definitely be going back to him!
After the massage is over, they give you a big bottle of water, which helps rehydrate. All in all, I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a reasonably priced, wonderful massage! -

After being recommended by two coworkers and living a few blocks away, my boyfriend treated me to a message at Chiropractique. Being my first professional massage, I went in with an open mind...
+ When I first walked in, this place was super cute. I loved the atmosphere, cute furniture, super nice receptionist.
+ I was ushered to the waiting room that had massage chairs and reading material, it was quite calming.
- I wanted to be safe, so I got there 15 minutes early and the receptionist took me into the waiting room... where I waited... 15 minutes... 20 minutes... finally 25 minutes later (and 10 minutes passed when my appointment was supposed to be), Randy grabbed me and took me back.
- When I first arrived, they had me fill out a form/picture of the areas I was ticklish or uncomfortable with them touching, as well as places I would like to have worked on most (being my hands and wrists since I work as a barista and use/abuse them). When Randy took me back we discussed that I would like these areas to be a little more focused on... during my massage he worked on each hand/wrist for NO MORE than 2 minutes each (this was disappointing)
- After less than 50 minutes I was told that the massage was over and to meet Randy outside when I was done dressing. Wait, wasn't my massage for an hour? I know that ten minutes is not a big deal, but when you are paying $60 for a massage AND you weren't the one who was late, they were running late, I expect to get what was paid for. That was upsetting.
- Okay, LAST BUT NOT LEAST... DRINK WATER!!!! Since this was my FIRST professional massage I had NO IDEA to drink a lot of water after. The receptionist had known this was my first massage and I had specifically told the masseur it was my first time and NO ONE at Chiropractique told me to drink water after... This is probably my fault, but I woke up the next day feeling 100% worse than I did when I went in for the massage.
Overall, the staff was friendly, the atmosphere was relaxing, I have heard/read some awesome reviews and I would probably try this place again, but I left (and woke up the next day) very sad.

Dr. Beau insisted I return after my last experience and today was the perfect day to do so.
+ The place had some renovations over the holidays, even though the atmosphere and furniture was great before, it's now even better!
+ I tried the water table while waiting for Keely and it was awesome. Pulsating warm water bed, it could definitely put you to sleep.
+ I didn't notice last time, but the massage table was very warm. It was incredibly relaxing and enjoyable the entirety of the massage.
+ Keely, thank you thank you! The massage was wonderful. I'm super happy I went back and I was glad that she informed me to drink a lot of water (which I'm downing right now).
Soon I will be making my first ever adjustment appointment and I will be back with an update!1 Previous Review: Show all »

Review from Candice A.

I started going to Chiropractique over a year ago after I was in a car accident. I selected them based on the stellar reviews and was super glad I did. After regular adjustments from Dr. Beau and Dr. Brian (both are amazing!), acupuncture with Geoff and massage with Randy, I was back to new within a few months time. Did I mention that I was in a 4 car pile up??
I have nothing but good things to say about the entire staff, the office, and my experience over those few months. I recommend their services to anyone who will listen. But I wasn't in a huge hurry to write up another 5 star review on Yelp because I wasn't sure that I had anything different to say beyond what had already been said. Actually, as I'm writing this now, I'm sure that I DON'T, but obviously not going to let that stop me :)
After I was back in tip-top shape, I succumbed to human nature and stopped visiting Chiropractique on a regular basis because I didn't 'need' it. Right. Well, I just came back from an awesome vacay in Europe where I spent outrageous amounts of time being uncomfortable in airports, trying to sleep on planes (in coach!), carrying around a 40 lb backpack, walking around all day to see sights (the David in Florence is awesome, by the way), and walking around all night in heels. I didn't know how much the past few weeks had beat up my body until I tried to return to yoga class post-vacay (to burn off all that pasta and gelato). I could barely touch my toes and my body just felt tight and wrong. I couldn't get into poses that I've been doing on a semi-regular basis for the past 10 years. Clearly my body needed help and the first place I thought of was the Tique. I booked an appt for the next morning with Dr. Brian and he fixed me right up. I walked out feeling like a million bucks and remembered just how good it feels to be aligned and adjusted. I also discovered that Dr. Beau had secretly comped my account because they were running a little behind at my last visit and I had to leave without seeing him. Completely unexpected and done without any fuss on either of our sides. A great example of the type of service that you will receive at this awesome place and the reason why I will keep coming back again and again.
