Dr. Pritchett was recommended to me by a NUCCA practitioner in Sacramento who recognized that I needed to see someone closer to home, and she has fulfilled that trusted recommendation. The pain that I was experiencing reduced dramatically after 2-3 weeks of seeing Dr. Pritchett. Even when my alignment is holding in place, she has other tools to help ease my pain. The work she does and the person she is has helped me so much during a painful time in my life. If you're living in pain, go visit her now for alignment and support! read more

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 read more

You truly went above and beyond and I am grateful for all that you have done..!! read more

Andrea is a miracle worker. I had been plagued with an upper cervical injury for several years and had been seeing another chiropractor. After a few years of my neck going out of alignment almost weekly, I figured a life of pain and limitations was going to be my new normal. Andrea happens to be my neighbor and when she told me she was a chiropractor and could help me, I decided to give her a shot. After only a few adjustments I could not believe the difference she made. I have not gone out of alignment in over 6 months. Her method was gentle and the recovery was much better easier than my other chiropractor. I am now pain free and was even able to start back up Crossfit and olympic lifting classes. I can't thank her enough for giving me my mobility back. read more

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 doing it! read more

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 helped me tremendously in the first visit. I highly recommend her! read more

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). Recently I took a fall, and besides bruises and a sprained ankle, I was experiencing headaches (something I rarely get now that Dr. Pritchett is "my doctor"). Sure enough, the fall had messed up my alignment and Dr. Pritchett was able to fix me back up; my energy and sleep have improved, and the headache is gone. She also checked my ankles and knees and did her magic to ensure those bones are now in proper alignment as well. I'm glad I have a real solution to my occasional health problems, naturally, rather than with prescriptions, and appreciate Dr. Pritchett's specialized skills and care. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Pritchett for a few years now. I've been to a few chiropractors over the years, and would definitely rate her as one of the best. She practices the NUCCA technique, which is the only thing that has helped my neck issues. If you are looking for a chiropractor in the East Bay, I would definitely recommend Dr. Pritchett. She's a warm person and very caring of her patients. Most importantly, you don't feel the adjustments. I don't really understand the technique, but it works for me! read more

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! read more

Doctor Andrea Pritchett of Vital Life Wellness Center was a referral to me by my yoga instructor. Truly I am so glad I enlisted Andrea's Chiropractic services. I'm a person who suffered for a long time with neck issues caused by working out in classes with heavy weights and then working with a trainer using heavy weights. This caused a lot of strain on my neck. And then a few years later sustaining a whip lash in a car accident. So when the pain went from my neck, then to my hip and then my knees, I then decided to seek help. After Andrea evaluating me and having several treatments with her my pain went away. It's such a good feeling not to suffer and to get a good night's rest. Recently my knees and my neck began to hurt again. After one visit with Andrea I feel great! In retrospect It would have been better for me to have seen her sooner when the pain started several years ago. But I'm happy to feel great again and sleep well! I highly recommend Andrea.

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. read more

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 will just be checking back every few months to make sure I am still in alignment. Rather than the previous weekly approach. This is a huge time and money saver! read more

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! read more

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! read more

Dr. Pritchett is a magician! I've been to Chiropractors before and decided they were a waste of my time and money. Now, I see the value. You'll be delighted. read more

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. read more

Andrea is a very talented chiropractor who gently aligned my spine and made me feel like a million bucks. I highly recommend her!

I had seen Dr. Pritchett demonstrate her technique during a presentation and yet it still surprised me that there was no thrusting or pressure of any kind during treatment! Dr. Andrea was very thorough with her exam, planned a treatment program that worked with my schedule and was a delight to work with! I find her office to be a pleasant atmosphere and her manner calm and gentle allowing one to feel very relaxed and at ease. I would definately recommend Vital Life Wellness! read more

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 couple of dentists tell me I should see a NUCCA chiropractor who works with the atlas bone that sits right under the skull. I had my usual skepticism, until I saw my x-rays! Dr. Pritchett took 'before' x-rays, and then adjusted my atlas and took an 'after' film. My neck vertebrae had been kind of spiraling in one direction, but after her adjustment, they were straight up and down. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the x-ray. I was able to hold that adjustment for several months, then one day I started feeling horrible at work. My whole body felt weak and my legs were tingling like they were going numb. I went to Dr. Pritchett and, lo and behold, my atlas had finally slipped and needed another adjustment. It really hit home for me how important it is for the atlas to be level in order for the whole body to be in alignment. I highly recommend you look up NUCCA chiropractic treatment and that you go see Dr. Pritchett, so she can work some of her magic on you!! She is amazing!! read more

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 every 3-5 weeks. Her gentle and healing approach is amazing. Before seeing her I had been having some falls and was concerned. Have not fallen in over 3 years, and have become more active than before...am 77 years old. "Dr. P" is a ray of sunshine; and I'm so glad that she is my wonderful and understanding person to go to for her gentle work. Kathy B. read more

No cracking, no popping, no twisting - NOT your typical chiropractor. Dr. Andrea Charlton is an upper cervical doctor who restores body balance (head and neck alignment) without pain or manipulation of the spine. I have been seeing her for a few months now and can honestly say, she has changed my life. Plagued by insomnia, frequent colds, headaches, neck and shoulder pain (where I couldn't turn my head!), and general fatigue, I was tired of my general physician giving me 800mg of motrin and sleeping pills to "fix" everything. On a recommendation from a friend, I saw Dr. Charlton. My health has dramatically improved - better sleep, better energy, no more headaches, no more neck or shoulder pain. I never expected to have such dramatic results. It is truly amazing and I can't believe how long I allowed myself to feel so crummy. I highly recommend Dr. Charlton to anyone seeking relief from pain and/or better health. read more

When I went to Dr Pritchett I was skeptical that this NUCCA technique would help. And the treatment was so mild (no cracking or popping) that I wondered if anything had been done. But when I went to my car I immediately realized that I could rotate my neck MUCH farther than I could earlier. I appreciated her thoroughness and the fact that after several visits she told me that I did not need to return unless I was having problems. Plus Dr Pritchett is professional and is just a nice person to work with. I cannot recommend her or her services more highly. read more

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 can now run, vacuum, mop, make beds, etc. I feel like I have been freed from the prison of my back pain. Thank you, Andrea! read more

Painless and effective. Dr. Pritchett helped me recover from an auto accident.

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. read more
