I’ve been coming here a long time because Dr. Abby and the In Line crew are truly awesome. Abby Irwin and her wonderful staff help me with ongoing issues related to computer use, and also treated my whiplash after a car accident a few years back. Every single person at this practice is friendly, welcoming, and very good at what they do. They really care about their patients. The massage therapists are also amazing: I would tell you that Susan is pure magic, but I’m keeping that to myself so you don’t book up all her appointments.

I purchased a Unilocal deal($ 150 voucher for $ 79) back in December 2012. I was experiencing excruciating lower back pain and couldn’t walk or stand without feeling pain. I needed help to get it fixed and searched Unilocal for chiropractors. In Line Chiropractic had good reviews, was close to home, and offered a deal so I chose it. I was able to schedule an appointment early in the weekday with Dr. Tran. Over the weekend my back got much better, I only felt a slight pain. I kept my appointment and went to the office, filled out patient forms, and Dr. Tran adjusted my body. He thoroughly explained what he was doing and what might have caused the pain. Nice guy. The one thing I did not like and feel should have been disclosed upfront was that there would be a fee for the follow up appointment. I thought it was going to be a simple check in to make sure everything was fine, but it wasn’t because there was a massage, too. I guess this is their way of showing the services they offer while getting more money from new patients. I declined the massage since I don’t like being touched. I waited for Dr. Abby to finish with other patients and when she was available, she checked my back and gave me a few exercise tips then I went to the front. The receptionist was probably new because when she asked me about payment I told her this was a follow up and I used a Unilocal deal for my initial appointment. We both thought I was good to go so I left. Then about a block away I received a phone call from the receptionist that I was supposed to pay and asked me to come back. I did since that’s the right thing to do and paid the $ 50 fee(that’s with a student discount). Being in the office felt awkward because it seemed like the receptionist got in trouble for letting me leave. If I had known there would be an additional fee for the follow up I wouldn’t have scheduled the appointment because I was pretty much back to 100% after my adjustment with Dr. Tran. It’s been almost two years now and my back feels fine, glad I haven’t had to return!

I wasn’t sure at first– but now I’m a believer. They were recommended by my former cryopractor in San Jose. My back is better — I can move, and feel great .go there!

I’ve been going to Inline Chiropractic for 5 years – not sure why Unilocal thinks they are in East Oakland as the office is right across the street from Lake Meritt and that’s for sure not East Oakland. I’ve seen Dr Abigail Irwin for various sports injuries as well as the affects of osteoarthritis and I’ve found her to be thorough and well-informed on matters of health. Her adjustments are gentle but effective. I’ve also had massage with several different therapists in her office and found each to be very good. The office staff members are always helpful and friendly, my insurance gets billed correctly and it all works. Two thumbs up!

I sent my husband to Dr. Irwin for care of his extremely messed up spine. In just about a dozen sessions, she has been able to sort him out, so he no longer has pain all the time. His back was a big challenge, and through weekly adjustments, massage and some orthopedic accessories she has been able to help him heal. Very pleased!

Dr. Abby is wonderful. Down-to-earth, easy to talk with and be with as a person and doctor, and really did whatever was needed to help me with an injury, and as an athletic woman herself, also really understood how desperate I felt to begin using my body again for exercise, which was great. Appts. were easy to book, and the reception friendly and helpful. I’ve since referred 4 or 5 ppl there and will go back myself when I need support healing from whatever debacle my self gets into from not having learned to stop pushing my body beyond it’s limits. Thanks Abby!

I scooped up the Living Social deal for a 50-min massage, and I was soooo happy to finally de-stress on my spring break. My massage therapist, Jack, took time to listen to what needed to get worked out. My massage was overall relaxing. I have never had a full conversation throughout an entire massage session, so that was a different experience for me– definitely appreciated not having those awkward silences, but I would have liked to have focused mentally a bit more on the massage. Afterwards, Jack showed me some stretches to do to try and alleviate tension. If you are looking for a super duper relaxing spa environment for a massage, this is not the place. It seems like the most important focus is working out those muscle kinks, and not all of the aromatherapy hoo-ha and quiet bamboo reed music.(I’m okay with that!!) The true test– how my back will feel in 4 days from now when I return back to the front lines, aka my classroom.

I found a very sweet deal from Living Social on this place and decided to give it a try since I injured my knee. Scheduling my appointment was very fast and easy. Once I went inside I was helped right away and seated in the waiting room. As I was filling out paperwork i noticed that every patient that came in was addressed kindly and by name. I remember thinking to myself that they really take their time to get to know their customers which is great. I saw Dr. Prusso and he was wonderful! He was very funny and professional. My leg was very tense and I had a hard time relaxing my leg muscles but Dr. Prusso took his time and worked with me. I am very pleased with my visit I would recommend this place to anyone.

I’ve just had my first session at Inline, and I was very impressed. I’ve seen at least 7 different chiropractors in my life, some good, some bad. Dr. Irwin is definitely very good. She takes lots of time to observe and treat, and had lots of good insights. She has a drop table which also moves side to side. I actually got a lot of relief of low back pain from the combination of techniques she used. she is nice, friendly, and, thankfully, did not try to pressure me into coming a lot, or signing up for a course of treatment,(which I have been really burned by with other chiropractors.) Definitely one of the more patient, thorough chiropractors I have been to. Update: She did start pressuring me to «measure» my antioxidant levels, and the second visit no longer included the upscale moving table. Did not return after 3rd visit.

I have now been a patient of Dr. G’s for over a year now. I can’t say enough good things about this chiropractor. She’s totally down to earth and very knowledgeable. I love her approach of overall health and«back cracking». Dr. G motivates me to do the right things for my body. I’ve sent a few pregnant friends over to the office and they’ve had great results too! Friendly office staff and a great doc. Go see Dr. G!

I have been seeing Dr. Abby Irwin on and off for several years, as I live nearby their office. I have longstanding issues with lower back pain, due to mild disc herniation. Visits to the office are a positive experience. The routine begins with a massage treatment for about 15 minutes, often followed by placement of a warm compress on the affected area. This is nice to loosen the muscles and cause relaxation. Then Dr. Irwin comes and performs adjustments. With me, she mostly uses conventional chiropractic methods(i.e., back cracking) and I feel safe and secure in her hands. Her rapport(i.e., «bedside manner») with me is very good — very down to earth and straightforward. She usually also makes suggestions and tips during the session for exercises to perform. Dr. Irwin’s clients range from serious athletes to regular Joe’s like myself. The other office staff are courteous and professional. There are never any pressure tactics to keep coming back for more treatments. The rates are standard amount for the services provided.
