“I can’t recommend this chiropractor enough! From the moment you walk in, the staff is welcoming, professional, and caring. The doctor truly takes the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and create a treatment plan that actually helps. I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my pain, mobility, and overall comfort since starting care here. The office is clean, organized, and appointments are always smooth and efficient. If you’re looking for a chiropractor who genuinely cares about their patients and delivers amazing results, this is the place to go”

“I’ve been dealing with neck and back pain that has gotten increasingly worse over time. My massage therapist is helpful, but she suggested that I consult with a chiropractor. Dr. DeSalvo has been the perfect choice for me. He performed thorough diagnostic testing and developed a plan to help relieve pain and return function. I’ve only seen him three times, but the relief and overall improvement has been very significant. The office staff is friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this practice.”
KK Kat K Verified review · Google
“Over the years I’ve seen nearly 30 different chiropractors. Some were good, some were bad, and a few were great. After my first appointment with Dr. Doug, I knew he was in the top three for sure. By the time I was leaving my fifth appointment, I knew he was the best. Although I’ve known two or three other chiropractors, who can get to all the same results, there’s a subtlety and effortlessness to Dr. Doug’s technique that is unmatched and after six months, I still have not had a single adjustment that hurt. I highly recommend DeSalvo Chiropractic to anyone who needs some help! Jordan”

“Helped me so much with a neck injury I could not previously get relief from with other chiropractors. Since beginning at DeSalvo I am experiencing relief with all over back pain and I don’t have consistent headaches. The staff and Dr. DeSalvo are committed to their clients whole body wellness and create a welcoming and consistent environment. I highly recommend.”
NG Natalie Galassi Verified review · Google
“I started seeing Dr. DeSalvo nine months ago after suffering chronic neck pain for the past 15 years, and gaining only minimal results from several other chiropractors I saw. I elected an intense 24 session treatment plan over nine weeks which included Spinal Decompression, Shock Wave Therapy and Laser Therapy. I responded quickly, in particular to the Shock Wave Therapy which significantly reduced my pain level. This treatment plan was a big commitment, but so worth it! I'm now once again able to enjoy activities like biking, long hikes and travel without neck pain. Unlike the other chiropractors I've seen who focused on managing the symptoms, Dr. DeSalvo addressed the root of the problem. I have the highest regard for Dr. DeSalvo and his staff, each of whom are kind and caring people.”

DB David Bedar Verified review · Google
“I see Dr. DeSalvo from once a week to once every two weeks and have been doing that for several years. He is consistently able to stabilize my back with disc problems and facet problems and over use injuries. He fixes me up for maximum comfort and flexibility for the next period of time. I don’t see him every week because I have to. I don’t come in screaming in pain. But I see him regularly to improve problems that come up, sure, but also for prevention. I always have some pain or discomfort, and I know I have structural deformities and problems that without this preventive level of care, I sure wouldn’t be able to do what I do at 78 yrs of age! I’ve been an athlete, Ihad four kids. I’ve worked hard in my life as a scholar & NP, and there is damage. But I have avoided surgery for 10 years and have done well with preventive chiropractic care. I highly recommend Dr. DeSalvo. He’s the advanced senior level of chiropractic care, not only because of technique, but because he’s a master diagnostician using his intuitive capacity based on long years of practice and sensitivity as a healer.”

“I met Dr. Mike Livingston at the Gym, Body Kinetic, where he was partaking in an intense conditioning session. I asked him what he was training for, and he told me function. He told me how he's a chiropractor and educated me on chiropractic. I was amazed at how calm and grounding his energy was. He presented me the invitation to check out his office that he is currently serving at, and encouraged me to invite others because of the power of chiropractic. Dr. Mike is one of a kind.”

PD Paula Dragosh Verified review · Google
“Tweaked my back and after one visit, felt better the same night. No pain the next day! Highly recommended! Brief update. 2 years after original review. I came in recently with a lower back herniated disc and could barely move without pain. After just a couple of appointments, I’ve already noticed real improvement — less stiffness, better mobility, and a lot more confidence in my recovery. I’m still in the healing process, but the progress so far has been remarkable. Dr. DeSalvo takes the time to explain each step, focuses on long-term healing rather than quick fixes, and tailors every visit to how my back is responding. Based on the care and attention I’ve received, I’m confident I’ll make a full recovery soon. Highly recommend to anyone dealing with disc or back pain.”

“He is as good as it gets. I've seen a few other chiropracticors in the past with no success. I've had some medical issues lately and the medicines caused horrible side effects. I went to the ER a couple times, a lot of Kaiser Dr. visits with no success. Dr. DeSalvo basically cured all my pains. He has great medical knowledge, a lot of tools at his disposal and is easy to talk to. If you are feeling helpless give him a call. Also his staff is really friendly and helpful.”

“We were in town from Canada and my husband was suffering with a neck and shoulder blade issue. So bad that I went on the hunt for a local chiropractor. Came across dr Desalvo and so thankful we did. He saw us same day as well as squeezed us in the next day on our way out of town. Went above and beyond explaining what the issue was and gave us exercises and a tool to help stretch in the right way. Plus did ultra sonic therapy and adjusted my husbands neck and back. Highly recommend him and only wish we could continue seeing him. Back to BC Canada we go and are thankful for such great care and attention we were given. Thank you again!!”

“I threw my back out last week, and ended up in Dr. DeSalvo's office based on his reviews. I knew I needed the best in town to get me back up and running asap. Dr. DeSalvo did not disappoint. I went to his office almost completely Immobile on a Thursday, and through a series of treatments he had me back to about 80% by Saturday. And he assured me if I don't over-do it during my recovery period, I'll be back to 100% in a couple of weeks. What I liked best about him was that he did a great job of explaining to me what was happening in a way I could understand, and he constantly reassured me that I was going to be okay. Sounds simple, but there was a time during my injury that I wasn't sure what was happening, or if I was going to be okay. I've never felt pain or immobility like this in my life. I can't thank him enough, and I highly recommend his services.”

“Dr. DeSalvo and his staff are an amazing group of people. I was referred to him by a friend in May of '23 when I had a severe back injury. My back went out and I couldn't walk for a few days. When I could walk with the support of a can I went to Dr. DeSalvo's office and he did a thorough evaluation where it was discovered that my back injury was a little more than what I thought it was. After my first appt I could actually stand straight, Within a couple appts I could walk without a cane. After a few more I could walk unassisted and much more stable. The value to Dr. Desalvo is not just the treatment but the education they offer. He and his staff are a wealth of experience and knowledge. I now go about my life in a much different manner as I'm now aware of how my back/body functions. The experience of visiting their office is very calming. It is a quiet space with many different treatment rooms and there is strong eastern influences in the decor which I appreciate. The types of treatment offered is wide ranging and your treatment will differ depending on the type of pain you are experiencing. Lastly, the quality of the office team are top notch as well. Very professional, friendly, caring and knowledgeable. When Dr. DeSalvo is not in he is supported by Dr. Toni Campbell. She is also exceptional is her care technique. In closing, if you are experiencing any type of body pain and would like to explore a non-medicated solution I invite you to look into not just Chiropractic care, but the office of Dr. DeSalvo.”

“Being blue collared labor at 54 is not always an easy task , exspecially when your 6’2” tall and 250 lbs ! Climbing under sinks and inside cabinets to repair plumbing to doing drywall repair and painting and climbing extension ladders two flights carrying roof repair items! It can really take a toll on your body but thankfully 5 years ago I was introduced to Dr. Douglas DeSalvo , since then seeing him on a regular basis keeps me working at my optimal levels! For this I am very thankful to him, in my profession I realized the importance to maintain the mechanisms of a machine! The human body is just that , a living breathing machine and without regular maintenance it can breakdown! Or God forbid just quit all together! Thank you Dr. DeSalvo!”

I could not sleep for more than an hour because of the pain. And only after the first visit I was able to get a full 8 hours of sleep ( no medications involved ).

“Dr George Wagner's work helps keep me moving and manage my chronic neck and upper back issues from 6 car accidents. He does some upper back adjustments I've not experienced anywhere else in 25 years of receiving chiropractic care, and with my rib issues he's a godsend. He's great at extremity adjustments, keeps my knees and wrists in line so I can keep up with my physical job and favorite pastimes, swing dancing and paddleboarding. My daughter has scoliosis and she prefers Georges's work to any other practitioners we've tried, so we followed him to Dr Delsalvo's. Dr Desalvo's office is nice and conveniently located in Novato, the front desk staff is cheerful and helpful. They've got some great tech tools to help with treatment.

“Dr. George is a great chiropractor. He’s very straightforward and gets right to the work. His adjustments are firm but gentle. My back pain has gotten much better, with increased movement back to normal. I’m looking forward to follow up treatments to resolve it completely. The reception and assisting staff are wonderful people. I feel very comfortable with them.”

“Besides feeling better after each treatment. Dr. DeSalvo explains everything thoroughly as well as offers different modalities for improvement of your condition. The follow-up email is filled with information and things you can do at home. I recommend at least checking out what he has to offer.”

“I have been dealing with physical challenges since I was a teenager and have worked with many chiropractic and other healers ever since. I travel extensively so I have worked with every different style of healer and doctor. I just moved into the area and a friend recommended that I try Desalvo. chiropractic Dr Dresalvo and his team are so fantastic! From the moment I walked in the door I was greeted with a smile and communication was clear and helpful. I appreciated how much time Dr Desalvo spent with me in the beginning to make sure he understood all of my issues (and tell people that it's easier to say what is NOT wrong with me then what is because I have so many challenges.) I really appreciate too that Dr desalvo approaches healing as collaboration. Unfortunately I've been to one too many healers and doctors who treat me like they know everything, are very condescending, and don't truly listen to all that I have done and all that I know about my own body as a result of that. My experience of Dr Desalvo is the exact opposite, and when we are going through pain and trauma of any kind having someone who listens to us and treats us like we matter is actually a critical part of healing. I feel really grateful that I found this office and this team and would continue to go for as long as I'm in this area.”

“I saw Dr DiSalvo for a chronic ankle/foot problem for 3 or 4 sessions. I was impressed by his determination to correct a malalignment of my ankle. Although I did have some temporary improvement, I plan to get a second opinion from an orthopedist. Dr. DiSalvo and his staff were very professional and I would not hesitate to refer friends and family. Thanks.”

“This review is long over due. I have been visiting DeSalvo Chiropractic over a year. The staff are helpful, friendly, professional yet personable & playful. Dr. DeSalvo helped me with nerve pain in my neck & down my entire arm when my usual health care provider would & could not. After the first visit my pain diminished. Within less than 3 months I was back to pre-injury level pain. Dr. DeSalvo has continued to provide maintainance care which helps me stay as pain free as possible. I highly recommend Dr. DeSalvo.”
