Dr Gorgani and her staff (Amet and Megali) have been instrumental in helping me on my health journey. I have received such EXCELLENT care, not just as a patient but also as a human being. She is great about coming up with effective ways I can help treat my issues at home on my own, and is creative in finding solutions when progress stagnates. An incredibly compassionate individual

Dr. Gorgani is amazing. She is very knowledgeable and she truly cares. She has cured my knee after many treatments with other specialists weren't successful. Melody and everyone else at the office is super helpful, friendly and caring. Highly recommended!

Dr. Nasim Gorgani is the best Chiropractor. I am the nurse and I always get back pain, but Dr. Gorgani has the softest touch and she is always helping me to get my pain under control with her soft and gentle touch.

Dr. Gorgani is very professional and extremely thorough with her care. I wouldn't have recovered from my tennis elbow without her! I was so glad to see that Spine & Therapy has continued to offer appointments through the pandemic.

This place is a godsend. They take insurance and offer shockwave therapy which was recommended my dr at Stanford. There aren't many places in the Bay Area that offer this at a reasonable cost. This office even takes insurance. I was dealing with si joint pain for over a year and did everything from massage cortisone injections pt and other chiropractic.

I was pre surgery. Dr gorgani listened to my full history and was empathetic and offered rehab exercises that made the most sense. Thank you also the Charlene who got my in ASAP.

Dr. Gorgani has a magic touch. She saved my life in a number of occasions. I visited her for my lower back spasm and after her treatment my pain was gone and I felt great. She gave me a number of stretches to strengthen my lower back. It has been two years and I haven't had any problem with my lower back. She also treated me for my neck and shoulder pain and like my previous experience the pain was gone after my first visit. She always follows up with her patients to make sure everything is okay. She is extremely knowledgeable and a passionate person.

I had my first treatment with Nasim while she was an intern at Palmer. She helped me recover from neck and shoulder pain back in 2014. This year (2020) I injured my shoulder while playing tennis and had back pain because of sitting all day for work. She treated my shoulder and back, helped me set up a proper ergonomic workstation at home, and gave me exercises to prevent getting injured again. When I am in pain I know where to go. I highly recommend her!

Dr. Gorgani is a true healer! She's amazing. She has brought me back to myself many many times, as I suffer from chronic neck issues from old injures. Not only has she alleviated my numerous stiff neck pains, shoulder and low back issues, she does so almost instantaneously for me. She has a kind, gentle yet beautifully strong energy, I feel safe in her hands.

The office is impeccably clean, and follows excellent covid protocols. I happily continue to see her nearly weekly to maintain my overall well-being. Dr. Gorgani is a gem! I can only say the most highest regards of her office and her practice!

Dr. Gorgani is amazing! She is so thoughtful and truly cares about her patients. I came in with a severe back issue (couldn't walk, get up, or dress myself without support). She helped me recover quickly and followed up over email to make sure I was okay in between appointments. Highly recommend this office!

This review is after two appointments. I threw out my back and frantically looked for any chiropractor that would take me same day. I unfortunately paid $165 and didn't feel any better. Finally figured out my Kaiser plan and found Spine & Therapy and paid $20 for my first appointment and my second was $55, which was pretty typical with what I was paying before back home in Southern California.

Both appointments were with Dr. Gorgani. The techniques used here are very different than what I've received before; it's not just adjustments. I'm used to being in with a chiropractor for maybe 10 minutes tops, with a few quick adjustments and I'm out. With Dr. Gorgani, I was there for 30-40 minutes. I did feel better over time after my appointments, but you do feel a bit beat up right after lol.

With their techniques, it feels a little bit like an unconventional massage to get those knots out and loosen up the muscles that are tightening up on my lower back. But over the next half hour or so, you start to feel the relief in your back and less tight and feel like you've got a better range of motion. I've had back problems for the past 3 years or so, and it was nice that she showed me some new stretches to help out with my back issues. Next time my back acts out again, I'll be making an appointment here and hope for good results again.
