“I’ve had an exceptional experience with Dr. Alba. From the very first visit, I felt heard, supported, and genuinely cared for. She takes the time to understand what’s going on—not just the symptoms, but the lifestyle factors that contribute to them—and creates a treatment plan that actually works.
Every adjustment is thoughtful and precise, and I always leave feeling noticeably better: lighter, aligned, and more grounded in my body. The office has a calm, welcoming energy, and the staff is consistently kind and organized.
What sets Dr. Alba apart is her combination of technical skill and true compassion. It’s rare to find someone who treats you with this level of professionalism and personal attention. If you’re looking for a chiropractor who listens, explains, and consistently delivers real results, I can’t recommend her highly enough.”

I arrived at her office suffering from terrible vertigo and neck pain that had lasted for days. After just two visits, I feel so much better and incredibly grateful. Dr. Christina and her receptionist are both very friendly and knowledgeable. I'm really happy I found them. Thank you!

As this was my first visit to a chiropractor, I was a bit nervous and unsure what to expect. Dr. Christina was amazing and immediately figured out what the problem was that I have been suffering with for years, which had been undiagnosed up until this point. I am optimistic that her plan of treatment will help. I have already recommended her to my other family members.

My first impression of Dr. Alba is she is very kind, polite, and very passionate about her work. She was thorough with her questions on my history and took an interest in my wellbeing. I didn't feel rushed; I felt heard.
I also liked how friendly her office administrator was. The office atmosphere was welcoming, clean, and it smelled really nice!
Overall, it was a very nice experience and I look forward to being treated by Dr. Alba! :)

It was a great experience in all respects.

It was interesting to see xrays of my spine/neck and have an assessment and recommended course of action. I've not previously had chiropractic care, and so I appreciate Dr. Alba as an excellent communicator who takes time with patients to explain what she is doing. I leave each session feeling more relaxed. The office venue is clean and sanitized after each patient, and all staff wear masks at this time (Jan 2023) for pandemic protection. Scheduling and billing is easy.

Dr. Christina is awesome. I met her at the Lafayette Chamber Mixer a few years ago and now I am so happy because she takes my insurance.

I've been seeing Dr. C for about 7 years, and her care has saved my adult life from pain! I could not be doing the work and physical activity I enjoy without her expert care. Period. And she's fun and delightful and always upbeat!

Wow! Dr. Christina is amazing! She not only addressed my headaches and neck pain with concern, she was very thorough in her exam and follow up visits. My headaches have completely gone away and so had my neck pain in just a few weeks! I can’t recommend Rivulet Chiropractic enough!

I love Dr. Christina! She puts me back together after all of my injuries. :) Being over 40 and playing soccer multiple days a week has resulted in rib muscles being torn, torn ligaments in my ankle, a torn calf, a lot of bruises, and lots of issues with my back. She has even helped me after I was a passenger in a car accident. Thanks to Dr. Alba at Rivulet Chiropractic I can get back to the sports that I love faster.
Not only does she help me when I am injured but she helps me stay feeling my best. I get migraines if I don't get adjusted regularly and with Dr. Christina's adjustments, I have been able to be migraine-free when I get adjusted regularly.
I travel all the way from Dublin to see her because it makes such a difference in my life. If you are in Alamo, Lafayette, Moraga, or Walnut Creek count yourself lucky and get yourself over to get checked out!

Dr Christina helped eliminate my back pain and it hasn't come back since. The staff is so kind and flexible, the office is such a warm and calming place, and Dr Christina is always so knowledgeable and attentive. She always gives me a custom adjustment based on what my body needs that day. And she is also amazing with children!

I love Rivulet Chiropractic! I’ve been a patient of Dr. Christina’s for 7 years now and since I began treatment, I have had 2 babies that have been patients since within 24 hours of birth! Dr. Christina has changed our quality of life and we could recommend a better Chiropractor.

Dr C is the best, I was nearly crippled due to bulging disks in my back. She was able to help me avoid surgery and I got my life back. I can even snowboard again without any pain.
