Both Dylan and Jessica are excellent chiropractors who have taken good care of my body for years!

Always appreciate Dr. Murray's approach to chiropractic work. I have been seeing him for a number of years - usually after a an injury doing outdoor activity (mountain biking, backpacking, running). He is thoughtful and practical in his approach and doesn't push multiple appointments unless he feels they are absolutely necessary for recovery. I have had multiple injuries where 1-2 appointments puts me back in action and feeling great! Highly recommend- I don't trust anyone else for chiropractic work. read more

I'm in the middle of a severely painful episode involving my back, hip and thigh. Dr. Murray has not only been kind and compassionate, but he's also been extremely helpful in easing my pain and discomfort. It's been about 2.5 weeks, I've had several visits and I'd say I'm close to 70%-75% better. He reduced my pain significantly within the first visit. I am deeply appreciative of Dr.Murphy, his wealth of knowledge and his capable hands and elbows. His office has state of the art healing aids AND a "magic table." The office is clean and modern and those working within bring a calm, nurturing energy and genuinely empathize. They know you're in pain and they want to help. If you're in pain, call Dr. Murray. read more

Very grateful to Dr. Dylan for his care. As a massage therapist for 6 years I'm very picky about chiro work. I was in debilitating hip pain out of the blue and it cleared up after 3 sessions here. Here is what I appreciate about Dr. Dylan and why I recommend him highly: -The work was SO EFFECTIVE. My debilitating symptoms cleared up in a few weeks after 3 visits -He does a lot of initial assessment and muscle manipulation himself first; this helped me trust him alot in our initial meeting, that he was really interested and thorough in understanding exactly what we were dealing with and how to treat it -He's thorough and doesn't rush; he worked slowly and methodically to make sure we were getting to what the real issue was -He was honest with me on what he knew and what he didn't which I really appreciated- he didn't try to sell me a 12 visit packaged etc etc but was honest about not knowing how long it would take but showed me it was clearly something totally different than I had thought it was and how to work it out myself until our next visit and see from there -He left adjusting until the last few minutes of our visit and even then took that very slowly making sure I was comfortable with being adjusted I really appreciate Dr Dylan;s thoughtful care and how incredible effective the work was! Thanks! And I highly recommend read more

Amazing experience! Easy to schedule and they were able to work with my insurance. Dr. Murray was wonderful- he listened to what I was looking for and I always felt better after each adjustment. I would highly recommend Dr. Murray and his wife to anyone needing a chiropractor! read more

I have had treatment from three of the practitioners at Santa Cruz Spine and Sport, and I can say that they have all been really good and I can recommend them. I have been treated by chiropractors Dr. Jessica Nichols and Dr. Dylan Murray, as well as massage therapist Rebecca Calderon, and I have felt like I was in very good hands, both figuratively and literally. I am a chiropractor with over 30 years of experience in practice. However, I also have a spine and a body that I occasionally do crazy things to, and I need chiropractic treatment, just like everyone else. My first treatment at Santa Cruz Spine and Sport was with Rebecca Calderon, the massage therapist, when I fell off of a ladder a few years ago. What I didn't know about falling off of a ladder is that when you fall off of it, you can also fall ON it. Yes, I actually fell ON the ladder. I had LOTS of bruises, several cuts, and was sore all over. I was a hurtin' puppy. Rebecca saw me the next day, on a Sunday, and did an excellent job of treating me gently and carefully, but also being able to expertly get in there and get things loosened up so that I would hopefully be not quite so stiff and sore. Her expertise and experience really helped me. I have referred several of my patients to her, and I know that they are in good hands. Currently, I am booked up for the next three weeks and have a waiting list of 14 patients trying to get in. The chiropractor that I used to refer my overflow to has retired, and I needed to find someone who could treat my patients similarly to how I treat (heat, massage, and gentle chiropractic adjustments using the Activator instrument). I found Dr. Jessica Nichols. She did a really good job working on me and I liked her treatment, and I liked her. I can definitely recommend her, and have been referring my overflow patients to her. In the meantime, I have found myself suffering from Hallux Limitus, which is a fancy way of saying "stiff big toe." I have seen my regular chiropractor and my acupuncturist, as well as self-treating for it. I knew that it was time for something different. I started seeing Dr. Dylan Murray and he has done some intense, but excellent, soft tissue work on my foot and ankle, as well as osseous adjustments (popping and cracking style) on my foot and ankle that have helped give me better motion and decreased pain. It's not fixed yet, but neither he nor I are giving up yet. I really appreciate his knowledge, abilities, and determination. Overall, I can say that Santa Cruz Spine and Sport is a nice office with good practitioners who I can happily refer to and recommend. read more

I don't know for a fact that this business is racist, but what I can say is I got denied service from just a call asking for help, poor customer service experience stay away read more

I saw Dr. Murray after having fallen twice in my home. The first time playing with the dog and I was not that hurt and it was just healing when I fell again on our stairs. Ugh. There was a minor mix up at my first appointment when there was another person who was scheduled at the same time as me with the same name! lol But Dr. Murray was able to still see me. He helped my back a lot during our 4-6 visits and it was back to normal. Phew! Short and sweet. I would definitely recommend him as he was a good listener and very helpful with my healing. read more

Dr. Dylan Murray is the best. A few years ago, my partner and I moved to the area and I needed some support with back and hip pain following a few injuries that left me with chronic pain. After just one visit to Dr. Murray, I felt so much better, and have seen him ever since. I am now pregnant, and I thoroughly recommend Dr. Murray to anyone at any stage of pregnancy. He is trained in treating pregnant people and modifies his care directly to what you need. He checks in throughout the treatment to ensure that you are comfortable with everything he is doing. And- the best part- he actually helps you feel better. Dr. Murray goes above and beyond to support your body and reduce pain. He is intuitive with the body and can tell what's going on and how to treat it. He will recommend exercises outside of treatment and set you up for success in the way you move outside the office. On more than one occasion I've emailed him with questions or needing support and he always responds promptly and has fit me in when I've been in acute pain. Also, he employs a range of tools and types of treatment- he will adjust you, but will also treat exclusively with low-impact methods for those who respond better to that. My partner has also seen Dr. Murray for chronic foot pain, and Dr. Murray has helped him in developing a treatment plan that works for him, including modifying his gait when running and doing at-home exercises. I will continue to see Dr. Murray through my pregnancy and beyond. He is absolutely the care provider I have depended on the most throughout my pregnancy - go see him and start feeling better! read more

Dr. Murray properly diagnosed my thoracic outlet syndrome after my general physician did not and physical therapist was unable to give a diagnosis. I had been trying to correct the wrong injury for 2 weeks until Dr. Murray was recommended to me. Within 3 weeks I am back in the gym and the issue resolved. 10/10 recommend. Thank you Dr. Murray! read more

Well what can I say about this place other than they fit me in because I was from out of town and in a good amount of pain, I called them up they told me that if they had a cancellation if they would call me immediately and get me in while they did. The chiropractor took his Time to really determine what my needs were and he fixed me right up so if you guys are in need of an adjustment or just to get that paint out of your back please visit this place is phenomenal I would highly recommend. read more

How did anyone actually get an appointment? They never answer the phone. Im tired of playing phone tag with them. If it is normal business hours, you should be answering the phone and not have a stupid answering machine!! read more

Dr. Murray help me threw some nerve and numbness I was having down my arm. Very professional and knowledgeable. I'm planning on visiting his office every so often to keep me in shape so I can hopefully stay in shape. I would diffenlty recommend him when I get a chance. read more

My longtime chiropractor retired so I started seeing Dr. Murray last year. He's always professional, listens to me, and gives me a thorough going-over at each appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Murray and Santa Cruz Spine and Sport! read more

Where do I even start??? It has been the best experience to work with Dr. Murray! His work is the perfect combination of listening, caring, and being damn good at knowing what he's doing. He combines that genius with adjustments I did not know existed. This has helped my healing from being rear-ended immensely. Then, there's probably the nicest lady I've ever met, Jessica, running the reception area. But wait, there's more... who knew medical massages existed? Well, I didn't know, but now I'm happy I do. Marshall is ridiculously gifted with strength and intuition. Every person working in the office has been a pleasure to work with. I had been going to another chiropractor after being rear-ended. I realized they were not listening to me or what was hurting, just doing the same 2-3 adjustments each visit... lame!! That review will be on the horizon for a good roast later. Yelp has shown me much more honest reviews than Google. read more

Very friendly and caring staff! I needed an adjustment before a race and although I had not come in for a consultation yet, I was seen 2 days later and received a thorough adjustment so that I'd be ready to run. I felt like all the staff really listened to me and worked with my health and cost concerns. The day after my race I came in and was adjusted some more and had some soft tissue mobilization work done which felt amazing! read more

BodyWorx Chiropractic - The waiting area. - Chiropractors Near Me - Santa Cruz, California

This place is honestly the best! I have always had headaches, back pain, just the works for most of my life and working at a computer nearly 40 hours a week wasn't happening. I called in and got a schedule with Dr. Murray and he literally changed my life. Even after the 1st visit I felt like a new person and after barely a month I rarely have headaches and I don't have to massage my neck anymore out of pain. And this is coming from nearly 2 weeks worth of headaches to maybe one or two out of the month. The front desk staff is nothing but nice and always helpful when I need to either reschedule or cancel an appointment. Go to see Dr. Murray he is seriously a life changer if you have any issues that have been bothering you. You won't be disappointed. read more

I get headaches periodically from neck strain. My most recent injury is left clavicle subluxation unknown etiology but......... PAIN Oh my! I have seen Dr. Dylan Murray twice and 3rd appt today. I have seen at least 20 chiropractors over the past years for above injuries. I'm a travel nurse so all over the US. He is the ONLY one who has been able to adjust my neck 1st attempt without hurting me and relieving my pain. Dr. Murray is professional, courteous, friendly, warm, thorough and has SKILLS! He asks regularly if tissue work too hard and adjusts to your comfort without sacrificing end result. His office staff top notch. I highly recommend Dr. Murray for any & all your chiropractic needs. read more

I've seen a lot of chiropractors in my day, and Dr Dylan is one of the best, most consistent chiropractors I've seen in a while. Goes above and beyond to make sure any problem areas have been addressed. I'm very guarded with neck adjustments but somehow, because I fully trust him, I can relax and allow the adjustment to happen. So far I've always gotten the relief needed. Can't recommend him enough! read more

I came by the office today so I can learn more about their chiropractic services, and to set up a first-time appointment, but they were closed. It was 5:30pm and my understanding (info from their website) is that they are open until 7:00pm. I did not see a sign on the door about their early closing either. read more

Let me start off by saying there are a ton of places to go in the Santa Cruz area to get PT, Massage, and Chiropractic work done, and I have been to a TON, but this place exceeds them all!! After having a baby, braking my tail bone, finding out I had mild scoliosis (that which NOT one Dr. in the past had caught), major back problems and a few other deep tissue issues, I found myself in major need of treatment. My husband had been going to Spine and Sport for a while and was trying to convince me to try it out and I was biased because of all my experience in the past! But THIS place has seriously saved me. Dr. Dylan Murray Is the best Chiropractor I have ever seen. He not only adjusts, but he cares deeply about how you are feeling and gets to the bottom of it! He does deep tissue work as well as shows you different ways to work out and stretches to help with the areas you are in pain with. He is willing to see you as much as needed and has a lot of flexibility with his schedule making it easy for you to come when needed! I honestly went from being a grumpy super in pain (on a scale of 1-10 ... A 9) so in just 5 weeks feeling almost 100% better. I HIGHLY recommend seeing him! He is a genius with the body!!! Also the front desk girls are so kind, personable, and friendly! They are super cute and professional! Every time I walk in the door I feel like it's family, and they remember everything you tell them! I love this place!! Oh and if your looking for a massage, this is the place to go! It's not "fu-fu" they really want to help fix you and know how to! Best massage I've ever had in my life! I walked out feeling the best I've felt in my whole life. I recommend Tiffany for a deep tissue massage, she has helped my neck and upper shoulders feel so much better!! I would go on, but I hope you just get the point and COME IN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE so find out yourself!!!! :) Good Luck and Be WELL!! read more

I Just finished with a drop in visit with Doctor Dylan Murray at Santa Cruz Spine and Sport on Frederick St after having a new pain develop in my back and neck needing chiropractic care. I am sitting in my car now feeling better than I have In several days. Thank you so much for taking thoughtful care of my needs! I am so thankful!! First of all I was greeted cheerfully over the phone by his receptionist and without ever seeing me before they agreed to stay open after hours to accommodate me. This is an office I will Happily recommend to anyone in need of chiropractic care. I am so impressed!! Thank you Dr. Murray! Your kindness and expertise overwhelms me!! read more

I threw my neck out on Friday for the first time, and was scrambling to find a chiropractor to fit me in. I must've called ten different offices, and the first to get back to me was Dr. Murray himself from Santa Cruz Spine and Sport Chiropractic. He got me in as soon as he could on Monday, and I already feel significant relief in my neck. The office is clean, he was very professional, and gave wonderful advice. I'll certainly continue to refer to Dr. Murray for future chiropractic needs, and would recommend him and this office. read more

I wish I could give like, 20 stars...at least. I've had a voucher for a free appointment here for over 2 years and the staff was SO incredible in letting me use it whenever I needed to. Today was my first appointment for an adjustment and I was blown away with the friendliness and care from the entire staff. I saw Dr. Murray and he was so fantastic! He guided me through the whole process and was a wealth of knowledge without being overwhelming. Although I'm not feeling 100% (things will take a little while to heal), I feel significantly better and made my next appointment. Thank you for the excellent customer service and overall care! read more

I was " rear ended" in an auto acccident and so was coming here 3 times a week for the month I was in Santa Cruz. My accident had just happened in North Carolina, and they knew I was only in town for a job for 4 weeks , but they seemed way more concerned that i get some treatment than exactly when they would be paid. Dr McLeod's treatment was tip -Top! My neck was almost " locked" on one side on first trip---- that first trip had some profound neck & wrist pops ! So much relief with that first bit of " unjamming" things , only appriciated the more subtle accupressure on the knotted / torn tissues in retrospect".Dr J "was also able to adjust my wrist and ankles , providing much relief. The office is well run. Appointment times were closely kept. The secratrys & assistants are warm and personable , as well as efficiant. An assistant will usualy prep you with a warm pad so that you and your muscles are limber and relaxed, you are "in position" for the Doctor to " do his thing". I found this a" nice touch"-- especialy if i was" tense" from traffic . Always Got a quick efficiant adjustment( after a few questions about my " feelings" of how my treatment was going) .I was usualy out in 30 minutes, which is nice when you are receving intensive treatment, and keeping so many appointments becomes a chore. Santa Cruz Spine& Sport is a well run and well managed business thanks to an obviously caring & competent staff.Can't really speak for the rest of the Dr.s or Therapist because once I was treated by Justin McLeoed I really would not consider going to anyone else . Total Positive Experience. read more

I have been a patient with Santa Cruz Spine and Sport since it began, and after over 20 years of having chiropractic care in my life, SCSS has given me the best care I could ever want. Their office staff is professional and amazing in helping with any appt or billing questions. Dr Eric Saltonoff and Dr Dylan Walsh are the best at what they do. I have had at least a half a dozen chiropractors in my life, they have given the best, courteous, care anyone could ask for. I present a challenge because I'm a 6' 210lb blue collar worker who works hard and physically plays hard. They know how to work the kinks out without harsh adjustments, muscle manipulation and holistic care. You can't ask for better. I also wanted to add that they have and excellent CMT on staff by the name of Marcus McDonough. Marcus is well versed at tissue manipulation and several therapies to help with all kinds of ailments from low back pain, bursitis, sports therapy and deep tissue massage. He's professional, intuitive, and can help with all kinds of sports related issues. read more

When I first came to Dr. Soltonoff's office I was in excruciating pain and had numbness in my fingers. I had to try something or I was going to end up with injection treatments and heavy pain medication from the MD. Dr. Soltonoff was very frank and we agreed that if I didn't have a marked improvement by a specific date I would be referred to a neurologist since my condition was serious. Within just a few visits I had no more numbness in my hand, and it just got better from there. I am doing great and have been for months now. He is the most skilled chiropractor I have ever seen and I am so grateful for how he has helped me. His exercises and posture reminders have helped me keep myself well. I continue to have a "tune-up" every month or so as needed and I always feel SO great afterwards! I would highly recommend Dr. Soltonoff to anyone who really wants to feel better and stay that way. read more

A mid-twenties visionary, my perspectives on the world were already set in stone. Torn muscle requires pain-killers and eventually surgery, of course! Could a humble chiropractor fix my tear and change my mind? YES and YES Dr. Soltanoff did not just heal me, but improved my perspective on Eastern/preventative/positive medicine... Subsequent bouts of back and foot pain brought me back to the surfing and smart doctor in 2011 for more excellent care. From the front desk staff to the massage therapy services and on to spinal care from Dr. S, my chiropractic experience has been both cathartic and liberating. Looking forward to continued back and body health until the end of the world next year. read more

Wow this office is AWESOME where do I even begin? Walking in the door the office is clean and professional and the staff team is truly welcoming and highly trained. Each and every question was answered easily and I found myself able to relax and just focus on healing from the minute I walked in the door. Chris Vafiades was my therapist and he knows his stuff. He has a gentle way of guiding you through exercises and stretches and he took the time to sit and talk with me about my specific injury and pain level. I've never experienced that type of focus and dedication from any other medical professional and I work at a hospital! Chris allowed me to push myself when I could and go easy when I felt I needed to hold back. It's without question I was able to heal my shoulder in a matter of months because I felt so comfortable in his care. If you are injured and want someone to help you heal then Chris is who you should call every time. I almost forgot to mention he has evening appointments! I didn't even have to take time off from work. Thank you again Chris! You made me whole again! Gina read more

Dr. Soltanoff and all of his staff are professional and kind. They have gone to great lengths to create a warm, calm environment, and it all goes far in making a new patient feel welcome and cared for. Things never feel rushed here. From my first visit, every part of the visit and the plan of treatment was well explained and clear. Dr. Soltanoff gives his patients his undivided attention, and the visits are quite extensive. He encourages patient work at home to continue the healing process. Right from the start, I was confident that I was working with a doctor that was really aiming to correct my problem, and never was there a feeling of the never-ending treatment plan here! Highly recommend! read more

I saw Dr. Murray today for my slipped disks issue and pain. He was absolutely wonderful. He generally cared about what was going on. Offered some options and made time to do a adjustment. After my visit today, I will definitely keep coming back. read more

I am so glad I was referred to Dr. Saltinoff by a friend. I had almost signed up for an entire year of "adjustments" by another local Chiropractor that seemed a bit shady, so I decided to get a second opinion for a chronic pain I had been dealing with since the birth of my first child. Dr. Saltinoff is incredibly intuitive and was able to target the source of my pain after the first visit, I was sent home the first day with incredible relief as well as an increased awareness of how to contribute to healing my body through exercises and good posture. I loved my visits, the whole staff is very nurturing and relational as well as professional and excellent in their practice. I wouldn't waste your time or money with any other chiropractic practice in town, this is the best around! ~Lily Crowder read more

Dr. Dylan Murray is talented. From simply looking at me he could tell what was needed. He listened to me and gave me feedback. I'm grateful for the help he provided. The staff are incredibly kind as well. Each visit, I walked away feeling like family. read more

Dr. Murray is simply amazing. I've been to 5 or 6 chiropractors in my life and my experience with Dr. Murray was so vastly different I almost can't even compare him to the others. I've never had someone put so much time and effort into getting to the root of the problem. He spent an entire hour with me asked a ton of questions, used several different methods of healing my pain, not just the classic adjustment. And I walked out nearly pain free (after seeing another chiropractor many times for the same issue without relief). I've sent my husband who now raves about this Dr as well. I tell everyone I know to go see him if theyre in pain. read more

I first met Dr. Eric Soltinoff around 10 years ago. He was at the health club where I currently worked as a personal trainer. At first I was a bit skeptical of this new chiropractor. We spoke at length and I decided to have him treat me. He is incredibly knowledgeable in what he does. His treatment is absolutely first class. Every adjustment I have received from Dr. Eric Soltinoff has worked beautifully on my physique. I'm a personal trainer, bodybuilder, and performance athlete; I would not trust my body with anyone else, period. I moved to San Jose and I will make the commute just to see Dr. Soltinoff! What can I say, he's just that damn good:-) read more

Dr. Murray is phenomenal! He took his time to do a thorough assessment and made sure I was comfortable with the adjustment techniques. Best of all, he taught me multiple exercises I could do at home myself to maintain and improve my ability move pain free after I got done with my treatments. There is plenty of street parking, the office and nice and very clean, and the front desk receptionist is very helpful and easy to make appointments with. Excellent service all around! read more

Dr Dylan is amazing! He fixes me right up. His staff is wonderful. Massages by Rebecca are off the charts. I highly highly recommend them for all your body needs. read more

When you eat a phenomenal burrito you tell your friends they have to go try one - so I guess in the same manner I'm feeling compelled to write a review to let people know about a chiropractor that actually fixes you & does everything you hope they would. It's nice to find those rare people who are the best at what they do. With an active lifestyle of generally abusing my body with surfing, wakeboarding, playing basketball, and now carrying around a baby & staring at a computer screen with terrible posture - I've experienced a lot of past disappointing chiropractic experiences, which I was hoping would heal a shoulder, ease back pain, reduce my headaches, or fix a pinched nerve. All of those previous experiences ended with wasted time. When I met Dr. Dylan I came into Spine and Sport for a bunch of issues but mostly because physical therapy had failed and I was facing a second shoulder surgery if I didn't correct the issue early on (I knew about Spine and Sport because of successful PT after my knee surgery - recommend that service here too). Dr. Dylan really took the time to get as much information about me as he could - past injuries, health history, goals, current issues, possible non-obvious contributors, etc. From there each visit started with reviewing past notes, reassessing the issues, and communicating about what the best steps forward would be. He always was familiar with who I was and what we were working on. I am never rushed and never feel like someone is just going through the motions to get me in and out. Throughout an appointment he probes for areas that are out of line, treats, rechecks, and treats again. Each appointment Dr. Dylan would use several different treatment methods to attack problem areas from multiple angles - I haven't learned all the technical terms for it all but there's adjustments, stretching, active massage work, pressure points, soft tissue tools, and even some physics therapy incorporated. Fast forwarding my shoulder pain is gone, my back pain is gone, I went in for repeated headaches recently and now those are gone, and I can trust that continued maintenance appointments (now far and few in between) are helping to prevent issues before they start. I sent my wife in who has scoliosis and crazy back pain (to the point where I didn't know how to help anymore) and she is also feeling the best she has ever felt. Can't say enough. I'll add, because it matters, that the front desk staff are also amazing. They are fun, caring, professional, always smiling, and just generally nice people to know. No scowls, overheard drama, awkwardness while doing billing... Just a bunch of wonderful people who take good care of you and are nice to see when you come in. So short story long... This is the place to go if you need physical healing from a trusted, professional, current/relevant, educated, and caring chiropractor who is accompanied by a wonderful staff of people. read more

I have gone over the years to a few chiropractors and I searched yelp to find this group. I was assigned to Dr Dylan Murray. I have been very happy with his "bedside manner" and treatment. I have to say, one of the most impressive things is his honesty, I have two things going on that he has not seen and he was completely honest in the fact that he was not sure Chiropractic would help. In no way shape or form is it due to his knowledge of the craft it was him just being honest about the possible outcome. After a couple treatments I am impressed with his methods and knowledge- I recommend you see him! read more

Santa Cruz Sport and Spine is a great chiropractic office and team. Dr Murray is amazing. I have been coming here for about a year now.

Thanks SC Sport and Spine for the great customer service. read more
