Both doctors are wonderfully caring people who are skilled at their craft and do great work. They have provided me relief in numerous areas including a bone spur in my foot, history of 2 low back disc herniations, inflamed neck disc causing nerve pain in arm, neck/ shoulder/ collar bone discomfort & even cured my sleep apnea with the Cranial Facial Release treatments. They keep me going & in very grateful!

After seeing Dr. Melissa for a series of chiropratic adjustments, I found myself doing pirouettes in my kitchen! My head and neck felt more aligned and therefore the surrounding muscles felt more supple and efficient. She really took the time with me to look at the x-rays and give me some good tips for how to maintain these improvements. I trust her with my body. She's the best chiropractor I have been to, and I highly recommend her!

verything about Life Chiropractic makes me feel good. It starts with the cheerful and helpful front desk, and carries through with the attentive, compassionate and intelligent diagnosis and treatments.
And I am not the only one who gets that: my dental-sleep apnea team marvelled that my first treatment at Life Chiropractic occasioned the reopenening of my bacterial/polypoid beset nasal airway (great big gob of stuff expelled). They'd never seen that before.
Dr. Melissa Crago's combination of musculo-skeletal adjustments with Naso-Cranial Release are part of a wider suite of therapies that have steadily improved my breathing, sleep and physical endurance. That adds up to a 24/7 experience of renewed joy and gratitude.
I am hopefull that the continued reduction in symptomatic infection and greater function signal healing. The alternative was sinus surgery, "Sinusectomy" really.
So, I actually look forward to my weekly appointment, despite the temporary discomfort involved. Life Chiropractic is indispensable if you really want to live fully again.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Henry O.Russian Hill, San Francisco, CA012Jul 29, 2022
Excellent Doctor with amazing protocols!
I've been suffering from sleep apnea and poor breathing for over 25 years. I was blown away after the first session let me sleep thru the night. Pretty impressive! Dr. Crago loves her patients and has amazing focus and concern. Her adjusting skills are impeccable!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Ruth B.Richmond, CA01Jun 29, 2023
I drive all the way in from Richmond to see Melissa Crago, who is simply the best, and also now Ryan, who is part of the team. They are sensitive and expert at putting bodies back into alignment, especially my 75 year old body that seems to get more out of whack with age. These folks are wonderful and hopefully saving me from ever having to get a knee or hip replacement. Highly recommend them!

First off let me start by saying I'm a nurse with a history of back issues. I initially found Dr. Melissa at Life chiropractic when dealing with a flare up of neck and back pain. My initial visits with Dr.Melissa were great, she made me feel very comfortable and made sure all my questions were answered before being treated. I have now been coming to Life chiropractic for over 6 months now my neck and back pain are non existent! I have also been working with Dr. Ryan over the past couple months for my weekly adjustments and he has been awesome to work with!! I can't recommend this place enough!

This place is wonderful experience! I cannot say enough. The receptionist starts you off with care and a smile that leads to meeting the Melissa's crew brings thoughtful and effective care.

Dr. Melissa has been a godsend for our family! I first started working with her towards the end of my pregnancy. Seeing her twice a week helped to ease my hip, back, and glute pains so that I could sleep and continue to work. Thank goodness!
Once our baby was born we began to take her in for treatments -- initially to resolve some tight shoulder muscles, but we then realized her digestive issues improved and she was much calmer after treatments! We bring her in weekly for care and Dr Melissa is super gentle yet highly effective with her. The baby loves receiving treatments and even sleeps through them sometimes!
I've continued to get weekly care postpartum since nursing and carrying the baby wreak havoc on my upper spine. Dr Melissa's work also helps my nervous system relax especially after those days when baby is crying a ton and I feel jagged.
Thank you Dr Melissa and Bryonna and Tahjanee for the wonderful care!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Bre S.Oakland, CA115Aug 25, 2021
Dr. Melissa is consistently warm, funny, thoughtful and gifted at delivering the most relieving adjustments I could hope for. I go at least once a week and I'm noticeably chipper on those days because I look forward to the visits so much. The staff are all very wonderful and the office is warm and relaxing. I really would just hang out here all day if I could! If you've been having any body pains give Dr Melissa a chance to help you. I haven't had back pain in over a year and my wife no longer has migraines. Life changing!
I've referred all my friends here and we sit around on the weekends taking about how gifted a healer Dr. Melissa Crago is and how lucky we were to find her in one of the hardest years of our lives.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
