Backs In Motion ChiroSpa

Sep 2023

I moved to Elk Grove about 2 years ago. Up until now, I had seen a total of 4 different Chiropractors in my life. The first one I ever saw would pop you once in the neck and then have you lay down with a heating pad afterward. I went to him as a child and it scared me into future apprehension of chiropractors. (I was 13 years old). The second chiropractor I ever saw would twist my head to crack my neck (as I know is common in some practices) but to be real, that shit scared the crap out of me too. I thought my head would surely fall off if his hands weren't big enough to catch them. (I was 15 years old). The third chiropractor I saw was during a time that I had 9-month run-in with a severe condition of Papilledema that led to emergency brain surgery. During my first visit with this chiropractor he asked me to follow his pointer finger with my eyes as he brought his finger to my nose. Instead of my eyes crossing (as a normal set of eyes would during that exercise) one of my eyes jumped to the far side of my face. The chiropractor saw this, of course, looked concerned, didn't say much but lightly suggested I see "a doctor" not explaining much else. He did however, (KNOWING that something was seriously wrong with me) offer me an on-going treatment for arthritis of the neck that would cost me 4k (how so very nice of him ). And my butt even contemplated doing it, I was so desperate for relief! (Papilledema is swelling of the optic nerve caused by increased pressure in the brain). I proceeded to go 3 more months with my condition, due to lack of medical insurance, and endured the worst experiences of my life. I tried ONE more chiropractor after that and felt like a McDonalds cheeseburger off the $1 menu (do they even still have that?) as I was passed around, considered "done" and thrown back out the door. No one listened to me when I told them SOMETHING IS WRONG, PLEASE HELP ME. The images on the poster in the treatment room jumped out at me and I voiced this to the providers, but again-nothing. (I get that Chiropractors aren't the same as the doctors I now see at Kaiser but DAMN, you are human- correct?). My world was warped for 9 months (in total) seeing double, colors fading, lack of ability to see sharp objects, I felt high all the time, words would jump out of the computer screen at me as I was training new employees at work. I thought I guess I should see if I needed glasses? I would get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, flip the light switch on and hear the fan (indicating the switch for the light and the fan was on) but never able to see any light. Cars that were in front of me on the freeway would appear in the next lane in front of another car. I'd have to put one hand over one eye to see straight. (As if the vision of one eye was crossing into the vision of the other). Oh, and the characters on Grey's Anatomy, their noses were on their foreheads. Yes, it was like shrooms for free but ALL the time. From that point on, I didn't even know where to start. Fast forward 9 months later, after an emergency brain surgery (and a dope buzz hair cut ) I was finally better. (Age 32). Then fast forward 3 more years, I moved to Elk Grove. I'm driving past the Backs in Motion, "ChiroSpa." The Spa part caught my attention. I called immediately. Doc Williams answers the phone, he passes me to Dr. Alexa briefly and then the receptionist. I make an appointment. I come in. I'm asssigned to Dr. Alexa. I'm newly pregnant, in pain, with headaches (chronic for me now, due to all the surgeries) yet hopeful but also desperate once again. I literally left in love. I saw that the yelp reviews of Backs in Motion did not yet have a review highlighting Dr. Alexa so I am taking the time to spill my guts, share how much I really mean it when I say I found a savior and give her the complete kudos she deserves. I've began seeing her twice a week now and she goes above and beyond. I am looking forward to so much relief, light and peace. She truly is a great

I get frequent migraines and tension in my neck and shoulders from constant sitting as a student. Dr Milus is awesome! Not only does she adjust you only as needed, but she gives you useful "homework" and tips to prevent injury and strain. Highly recommend her

Pratik is incredible. He assures every visit that he’s explaining what he’s doing and how it affects my my goals out of the visit. Highly highly recommend. He has an incredible personality...don’t think I’ll switching to anyone else in the future!!
