Dr. Christine Zapata

I’d recommend Emerald City Spinal to anyone needing to get back to normal activity after experiencing back, neck or both due to work, sports or chronic issues. Dr. Zapata and Dr. Van bring a level of expertise, professionalism and personal care that is unlike any other I’ve experienced. Mary at the front is also always a welcoming smile that easily brings calm to any anxiety I’ve had walking in the door with pain. My immediate relief and sustained improvements from their treatments has truly changed my outlook for a healthy lifestyle!

If you're searching for a chiropractic practice that blends expertise with a warm, inviting atmosphere, look no further than Dr. Van and Dr. Zapata's office. Their clinic offers not only top-notch chiropractic care but also a sense of community that instantly puts you at ease.From the moment you step through the door, you're greeted by friendly staff who are not only efficient but genuinely caring. Their warm smiles and attentive demeanor make scheduling appointments and navigating insurance a breeze, setting a positive tone for your entire visit. Dr. Van and Dr. Zapata themselves embody the perfect balance of professionalism and approachability. They take the time to listen attentively to your concerns, ensuring each treatment plan is tailored to your specific needs. Whether you're dealing with chronic back pain or seeking preventive care, their expertise shines through in every adjustment and recommendation. What truly sets this practice apart, however, is its sense of community. Dr. Van and Dr. Zapata actively engage with patients beyond the treatment room, hosting workshops and events that educate and empower individuals to take charge of their health. This commitment to wellness extends beyond chiropractic care, fostering a supportive network that feels more like family than a medical practice.

Dr Van and Dr Zapata make a great team with super gentle but effective methods. If the loud cracks you hear during adjustments on social media give you pause about starting chiropractic treatment, this is the right office for you. You might not hear the stereotypical loud bone pops and creaks during your adjustments, but their methods work just as well while being gentler and more targeted than other chiropractors I’ve been to. Progress is slow and steady, but I noticed many positive changes in my overall posture and comfort after a couple months of seeing Dr. Van. Adjustments follow the same format every time so your progress can be measured accurately as opposed to treating different spots each time. And Mary at the front desk is lovely!
