Erica Schafer, D.C.

Voted Best Chiropractor in Santa Cruz County in 2011

I have a unique chiropractic practice in that I spend quality time with each patient (1 hour each treatment), include massage therapy with each treatment, and do gentle chiropractic adjustments without any popping or cracking types of adjustments. My goal is to get patients out of pain and improve their function and quality of life in as few treatments as possible. With 20 years of experience in chiropractic and massage therapy, I can effectively work on sports injuries (triathletes, marathon runners, surfers, golfers, etc), as well as women's health issues. Most of my patients are from the Santa Cruz county area. For more information, please call me at 831-427-9600, or visit my website at: ericaschafer.vpweb.com

The text below was generated by the review program, but I'd like to say in my own words that I have visited several different chiropractors in my life, and Erica is by far the most gentle, skilled, compassionate, humble, and EFFECTIVE of all the ones I have visited. IMO she is absolutely top notch.

They went above and beyond what they told me they could do for me. I never expected them to be able to help me as much as they did. The office was very easy to locate. I didn't have any trouble finding it at all. I was amazed at how much better I felt after my adjustments. I was worried that my adjustments were going to be painful but they were extremely careful. Just as a side note, this business is really conveniently located and is close to everything. It is right off and freeway and close to all kinds of shops. I was able to do my shopping for the week right after my appointment.

I've never seen anyone who is more respected by their staff. The entire staff only had great things to say about working there, and it made me want to return all the more. I was completely at ease during my appointment here. They went to great lengths to make sure I was completely relaxed and comfortable the entire time. They are completely committed to helping me as long as it takes to find the best solution. I never have to worry that they'll back out or give up if a solution isn't reached immediately, which has been a problem for me at other places. They had a huge selection of magazines in the waiting room. I was able to find some of my favorites and they kept me entertained while I was waiting for my appointment. They were so easy to reach in an emergency, they answered my call immediately. It is a relief to know that I can count on them to always be there for me when I need them the most.
