Re: Chiropractor who uses a drop table and activator (May 2006)
Dr. Abby Irwin is an excellent chiropractor and fits all of the requirements that you listed. She is a sharp diagnostician with a caring and straightforward manner. She has a deep understanding of musculoskeletal anatomy/physiology, and her specialty is sports injuries and care of athletes. She has been my husband's and my chiropractor for almost eight years (even though we are far from athletic!) and I have referred many people to her, including a few folks who have had challenging experiences with other chiropractors. She will refer to physical therapy, Xray, etc when necessary, but her practice also includes an acupuncturist and massage therapist and a few other holistic practitioners that I'm forgetting. Dr. Irwin was the first practitioner to correctly pinpoint the cause of my husband's sciatica last year (L-5 disc herniation) and to encourage us to seek more aggressive medical treatment as it became appropriate-- MRI, steroid injections, and finally surgery. Without her discerning advice and knowledge, we would have been much more bewildered and and slower in finding our way through the Kaiser orthopedic system. On the other (more conservative care) side, she has helped me deal with chronic neck and shoulder pain through strengthening exercises, a better understanding of body mechanics and adjustments as needed. I sing her praises because I think she is one of the best health care practitioners that I've ever known and everyone that I've sent to her has had a similarly positive experience. Her practice is called InLine Chiropractic, it's near the Lake-- 893- 1577.

Re: Chiropractor for postpartum back pain (May 2006)
I want to recommend Abby Irwin/ In line Chiropractic (office is near Lake Merritt) for drop table adjustments. She is an excellent resource for sport injuries as well as post-partum general backaches. I trust her very much. In her office you can also find a list of 7 massage therapists that offer all sorts of different massage styles. You can choose what you like...great place to get re-charged and re-adjusted. Price is VERY reasonable too. Myriam

RE: force adjustment table
I suggest you try Inline Chiropractors on Lake Shore in Oakland near Lake Merritt. They have a table similar to what you describe and they are very good at adjustments. I have used Liz Ringrose for the most part, but the other two women are excellent as well Abby and Andrea. I started going when I was pregnant with my son and continued as he got heavier and it was taking a toll on my back. I think they work miracles there. Good luck. Kristi (2001)

Abby Irwin at In-line Chiropractic Lakeshore Dr. Oakland 893 1577 Not the closest place but Abby and everyone in that office is great. She helped me through pregnancy and the aftermath. Martha Re: Chiropractor for postpartum back pain (May 2006)
