Services
You will complete the necessary paperwork and the NUCCA spine doctor will meet with you to discuss your health, your spine problems and any concerns you may have. A dedicated chiropractic health examination will be performed.
If it is determined that chiropractic services can benefit you and x-rays are necessary, a series of x-rays will be taken to rule out any pathology or instability, which would need a medical doctor's attention, and to find out how your cervical spine is aligned.This information will be used to determine the specific chiropractic neck adjustment that will be right for you.

Many may think that chiropractic services are only for those in pain, but there are many other reasons to be seeing a NUCCA spine doctor. A chiropractic back exam will determine if you have a misaligned spine, but you also can determine whether you are likely to need chiropractic services. Children can be checked for cervical spine misalignments similar to the way adults are evaluated.
Dr. Pritchett utilizes a technique called NUCCA (National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association). NUCCA is a gentle, effective, scientific approach to chiropractic care, correcting posture, alleviating pain and improving nerve function. This allows the body to heal without having to be adjusted constantly.
There are many questions which we are asked on a regular basis about chiropractic. We aim to answer some of those questions here, but please feel free to contact Dr. Pritchett with any of your questions at 925-829-7900 or send us a message via our contact page. There are numerous techniques used to correct the spine.
Imagine being in chronic pain, and you can't unveil the curtain of what's causing it. Unfortunately, this is a common experience caused by fibromyalgia, a disorder lived by over 4 million people in the United States alone. But, we're here to tell you that hope is just around the corner. Continue reading to know the.

I had a backache for years, I couldn't stand straight, walk straight, especially after long sitting. All this is history now!
I'm very glad that I made this choice to visit Vital Life Wellness Center. The doctor knows what she's doing and I literally reclaimed my mobility and my quality of life. I would highly recommend Doctor Andrea Pritchett to everyone

Why do I recommend Dr. Pritchett? I appreciated the NUCCA technique in that it did not require harsh adjustments that I had experienced at other chiropractic offices. I also felt that Dr. Pritchett listened fully to my concerns and made time to establish a relationship professionally, as well as including a extra couple of minutes for personal… conversation as well. In the past, with other doctors, I have often felt rushed and the simple giving of a few minutes allowed me to feel more relaxed with my visits. Life rushes us along enough. I don't want to feel rushed with my health practitioners

Andrea is very kind, gentle, and knowledgeable! Being a massage therapist is hard in my body and I see her regularly for adjustments and other specialized work she does. I always feel better when I leave! I also send any and all clients I meet who have upper cervical pain or general back pain which massage therapy isn't fixing. I'm always confident in Andrea's ability to provide quality healing to my clients. I strongly recommend Andrea for clients who've had negative or painful experiences with other chiropractors...she will heal your pain and be very fair and gentle while

Dr. Pritchett is wonderful. She currently takes care of my 8 year old son and my wife. Dr. Pritchett's technique (NUCCA) is the most gentle and amazing adjustment you will ever receive. My son at one point asked her if she had done anything... while she was doing the adjustment. Lol. My son and wife are doing amazing now and we thank Dr. Pritchett for being an amazing doctor.

I have been seeing Dr. Pritchett off and on for over 3 years. The first time I came, I could hardly turn neck. Within days she had my neck turning. The great thing about NUCCA is how gentle it is. It is painless and quick. In addition to helping me with neck and back pain, Dr. Pritchett has also helped me with knee, rib, elbow, and ankle issues over the years.
Thank you Dr. Pritchett for keeping me moving!

I have been seeing Dr. Andrea Pritchett for about 3+ years and am so grateful that she was
recommended to me for treatment. I've been seeing chiropractors for about 40 years, and have been blessed with some good ones. When I started seeing Dr. Pritchett, I was frustrated with my treatment with another chiropractor. It was nice to leave his office feeling better, but it didn't last more than 3-4 days, and I would need another visit. My improvement since seeing
her is amazing. After the first month of regular visits, I seldom need to see her more than once

I went to see Dr. Pritchett when my regular NUCCA doctor was out of town for vacation. Dr. Pritchett was very thorough in the type of questions she asked me. Since I don't have my NUCCA readings with me, she re-took the Xrays at a very reasonable cost. I was having problem breathing before seeing her, and after her light adjustment to my neck, I was able to breathe again. Dr. Pritchett was very accommodating in seeing me given very short notice. I really appreciate her approach and care for the patient.

Dr. Pritchett managed to sort out an issue for me that has plagued me for 15 years. Her treatment was so gentle I had to ask exactly what was going on here. She has a unique approach, the NUCCA technique, which I'd never heard of, and I appreciated the xray explanation of what was going on in my neck. She showed me on a test device how it's working and even though I still didn't quite get it, the results were enough to prove it.

Dr Andrea Pritchett is amazing. In general I am not a fan of Chiropractors because I am scared of all the popping and cracking.. but Nucca is as different as it gets. I equate it to butterfly wings. The dramatic improvement i have had since seeing Dr Pritchett is night night and day. I am able to do things thats six months ago was a joke. I cannot say enough good things. She is patient, listens and is kind. She really listens to what you have to say and is exceptionally thorough. It feels like a true team effort!

My husband and I call Andrea Pritchett the Miracle Worker because she is the first professional I have seen that has helped to heal my back, and I have been to see a lot of people! Over the last 5 years, I have been to two physical therapists, at least four chiropractors, and a spine specialist, all of which taught me little tricks, but none of which have offered any real, lasting results. Since I have seen Andrea, my back no longer 'goes out' like it used to, and my husband no longer has to adjust me, as he used to have to do almost daily. Also, after years of avoiding these activities

I affectionately refer to Dr. Pritchett as my "voodoo doctor" because she must employ some kind of magic to do the things she does. I was never a big believer in chiropractors, and had visited a few and been totally unimpressed. They all treated me with a 'paint-by-numbers' approach, crack this, crack that, and you should feel better, right? And, despite no improvement on my part, they keep doing the same shtick over and over. Eventually I gave up and felt like my misgivings about chiropractors was justified... Until I went to Dr. Pritchett... Due to my TMJ disorder, I had a

This is a doctor who genuinely cares about her patients as individuals, and delivers some of the most precise, gentlest adjustments around. She is has great lifestyle and nutritional advice to offer as well.
I myself am a chiropractor, and it was Dr. Andrea Pritchett who first gave me some of her office space and wisdom when I set out to be in practice for myself. She is a loving, educated teacher and was a wonderful chiropractor to me, as well ,during those days. I have since moved away and have my own successful practice elsewhere, but she has always been, and will always be, a role model

After going to another (very experienced) chiropractor for years on a weekly basis, I found Dr. Andrea. In just a few visits she gently realigned my spine and it has stayed that way ever since. She uses a very thorough approach to determine exactly what is wrong and what needs to be corrected. Then she uses very gentle (barely feel anything at all) pressure to adjust you. She verifies the results by checking to see that hips are level and feet are even. Then you are done! The only reason other Chiros don't use her approach is because they would kill their recurring income stream. I

I've been seeing Dr Andrea Pritchett for almost two months. I had started to get bad low back pain, and in my first visit the treatment had me feeling 90% better. I didn't think it was possible to go from a high level of pain to such an improvement in one vist. Since them I am almost completely pain free. Her treatments are very gentle, none of the usual twisting etc that chiropractors are known for.
Her principle is that back pain is caused by displacement of the bones in the neck, which misalign the spine causing low back pain. Clearly she knows what she is talking about, since she

I had heard good things about Dr. Pritchett and her (gentle and effective) NUCCA chiropractic technique. So I travel from San Jose to Dublin to see her, and am always impressed with how much better I feel after she tunes me up.
I have gone to her off and on for several years, whenever I have pain that makes me turn to over-the-counter pain meds for relief. Since I'm into natural health and nutrition, I love not having to rely on pain meds (I've got to be desperate).
