Services
Have you been looking for a chiropractor in Sacramento? Unlike conventional medicine, which focuses on attempting to treat disease once it occurs, the chiropractic care offered at N8 Touch Massage & Alward Chiropractic in Sacramento emphasizes the importance of improving your health in an effort to reduce the risk of pain and illness in the first place.
We understand that arriving at a chiropractic office for the first time can be nerve racking. If you've never experienced chiropractic care before, you may not know what to expect when you come to our Sacramento chiropractic office for the first time. Filling out paperwork, learning new faces, and getting to know your way around the office can be an overwhelming experience.
Chiropractic care is like building a house - certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work correctly. When building a house, if you tried to put up your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually collapse. If you tried to put on your roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem.
Next, you will have a consultation with Dr. Rodney Alward to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. Rodney Alward to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.
Most people are under the assumption that if they don't feel any pain that there is nothing wrong with them - that they are healthy. Unfortunately, pain is a very poor indicator of health. In fact, pain and other symptoms frequently only appear after a disease or other condition has become advanced.

Horrible staff. Place is very unprofessional. Seems like drama behind the counter. Not worth all the stress and drama.

I absolutely love Dr. Ron Alward & Patrice at (N8)Touch on El Camino ave, in Sacramento, California. Two years ago I seriously had a problem with even getting out of bed and trying to walk in the morning, however after seeing Dr. Alward regularly and getting a massage regularly by Lynn I am doing so much better it’s unbelievable. If you’re in pain and tired of dealing with all the pain medications out there please try Dr. Alward and N8 touch to make your life better!!!!

Services are great but when it comes time to pay although Patrice is really sweet she gets confused easily when charging for services. One minute she asks to charge for chiropractic and massage services separately and then mistakely (or on purpose) double charges. Just be careful when asked to pay seperatley and instead keep it simple.

I've been a member of N8's massage program for over a year now. The massage therapist at N8 are great. I especially look forward to my massage with Ruby. She's so in tune to what areas I seem to need the most work on. She's a master of her craft and a true professional, as is everyone I've encountered at N8 Massage!!

If you get a massage, don't short change yourself, get the 90 minute. That way your therapist can spend the proper amount of time on you that your body will need!

I had my first experience with massage therapist Teresa today, who was phenomenal. She was very skilled, both from a massage and an intuitive standpoint. She immediately identified some of my problem areas before massaging me, and she was in tune with my emotional tension as well. She provided some guided imagery to allow me to relax and melt into her touch. I was impressed with her knowledge of anatomy and body work. I have already highly recommended her to my family members and friends. Patrice and her other front desk associate were a delight as well. I look forward to my next appointment in

I started getting massages here as a friend gifted me them. After having great pain relief, I started regular massages once a month. As my back pain increased due to disk issues, I upped the massage sessions to twice per month and it has made a HUGE difference in pain level relief. I haven't had a Fibro flare in months, and am maintaining the low back issues. The massage "club" they have is a good money saver, and all the staff is nice. The massage therapists do a perfect job everytime!

I got a 60 min deep tissue purchased from groupon. I thought I'd try this new place at because of the location. My massage was OK even though she didn't focus on the spots I really needed and expressed I wanted focused on. At the end of the massage I looked at the clock, because it seemed short, it was only 45 minutes. An hour from the scheduled time but they were late. I emailed them about my problem but never heard back. Also I don't know if this is the way I was massaged but for the next two days ( I drank lots of water after) I had a migraine and spasms in my neck. Basically

Dr. Alward is quite knowledgeable about the human body with its skeletal and muscular systems. He is highly professional and has a tight ship with abled team members. I enjoy the sessions with the massage therapists as well.

I've had the same massage guru and chiropractor for nearly a decade and received the utmost treatment! However, I received the gift of a massage from a wonderful retired gentleman whom I've been assisting from time to time and considering what a huge treat this was I had to experience it!

I received a voice mail from Patrice, the office manager/receptionist explaining what I'd been gifted and what various days, times and services! When I called back I reached the same warm and friendly voice and she took my info, offered times and booked my appointment. I got there a few minutes

I've been going to N8 Touch and Dr. Allward for 4 yrs. for chiropractic work and massage. It's a very professional, welcoming, family-run business. I can't say enough good things about them! My fiance and daughter also go here and love it. Their massage therapists work with the doctor to treat all sorts of pain and have been super helpful in managing my fibromyalgia.
Dr. Allward knows so much about holistic health, he's helped me with many things. For example, it was Dr. Allward (not my M.D. at Kaiser!) who found out I had hypo-adrenals and gave me an herbal supplement to help

After dealing with hip pain for years and recent mid-back pain I finally decided to take care of myself and look into chiropractic/massage options. I was excited to find that N8 Touch works with a wide range of insurance and I was covered for both services. I had a huge knot and lots of pain in my center mid back that went away after my initial massage. I began seeing the chiropractor twice weekly as well and most of the pain in my hip has gone. My back is more relaxed and flexible then it has ever been. I've since had two massage sessions with Tabitha who is extremely knowledgable, intuitive

I've had a number of massages over the years; including private CMTs, commercial massage chains like Massage Envy and student massages at places like Bryan College. Some have been very good and some just mediocre. However, until my massage at N8 I've never had one that actually caused injury!. The masseuse at N8 was rough and abrupt when moving my limbs and head. It took a week to get to the point where I could move properly again without pain. My recommendation is to avoid this place since they aren't hiring properly trained staff!!
