Christoph Muehlinghaus, DC

Unprofessional. Left two messages and no return calls. Would like to give a better review but haven’t been able to connect.

Amazing work by Chris. I felt that I was in good hands. He really takes his time and gets it right. I highly recommend him!

I’ve been to a lot of chiropractors and Christoph is one of the best. I went in for what I thought was a chipped bone in my elbow. After he adjusted my neck and explained that the nerves run to the elbow, the elbow pain was gone. He’s REALLY good!

Dr. Muli is the chiropractor for me. Hes easy to talk to, friendly, and really extremely intelligent about what he does. Hes always studying new bodywork methods and aware of how to manipulate the body and bones to maintain the intention and results of long term, long lasting healing. I dont plan on ever going to another chiro as long as hes here. Thank you Dr Muli!!!
In addition, Afrika is an extremely wonderful woman. Shes really sweet and though we’ve only had conversations about massage (both being MTs), im sure she gives an awesome massage. :)

Dr. Muelinghaus is one of the most passionate healers I have encountered. He has helped me with sciatica and he has also been very effective at relieving lower back pain for my husband, (who is a former gymnast,) with a recent flare up that was very challenging. I highly recommend him.

Made my 1^st appt online three days before I went in, Very simple, easy, and convenient. Office was nice and so was Christopher. Very detailed, asked good questions, and discovered things that MDs I had saw several times never caught. Did joint and muscle work and all felt great. The massage was EXCELLANT!
I will be back and recommend him highly.

This guy is the best in the business. I just wish I could make time to see him every two weeks!

The best chiropractor EVER!

Totally recommended! Doc Muli’s treatments are some of the most comprehensive and longest lasting adjustments I’ve experienced. I wanted a chiropractic who understood both the neuromuscular and the chiropractic sides of treatment. With his in-​house massage therapists and his gentle, focused adjustments, Doc Muli is effective on all ages and body types. Doc Muli is relaxed, educational, and very effective. What’s better, he’s very willing to work with you to get a schedule that will work, even if it’s only a once-​a-​month maintenance visit!

Hola Center for Healing family! I just recently moved away to SoCal but I had been seeing Doc Muli for a few years and really wanted to write a review!
I originally came in to see them for sciatica and the attentiveness and knowledge of all the staff was amazing. Doc Muli had a lot of experience treating sciatica and our visits were the only thing that truly helped manage the flare ups. I continued to see him for regular maintenance, as well as getting regular massage therapy with Africa. If you ever have a chance to make an appointment with her I highly recommend it! She knows where your pain is before you even tell her and her ability to work the muscles is mind blowing! They work so well together and the fact that it was all in the same facility made me feel safe about getting so much body work done because they communicate and care about their patients.
Later I was in a car accident, and Doc Muli was the first person I called. He was so thorough in helping me I was able to recover quickly. Of course now that I have moved away the flare ups come back sporadically, and I wish I still lived in the bay so I could be treated at the center for healing! It will be hard to find a new Chiro and massage therapist with their caliber of knowledge and compassion… I miss you guys so much!!! :-(Shawn at the front desk is great too! She takes care of you with a smile and is extremely nice :-) Hay girl!
Ok that is the gist, I don’t review many places on Unilocal but this place is too amazing not to share!!!

I am writing this to say thanks to Dr. Muehlinghaus for being the most personable and effective medical practitioner I’ve encountered in a long time.
Most importantly, he’s really helped me with my headache pain. As long as I see him every 3 – 4 weeks, I don’t get tension headaches. He understands various conditions and causes at an in-​depth level, and has a realistic approach (rather than too holistic and tutti frutti like some). He takes extra time to do additional adjustments to test the impact. We talk about diet, exercise, and lifestyle and he understands the relationships between pain and these factors better than any of my medical doctors.
Really great, friendly staff. I’ve never had a wait for the appointment — he runs completely on time and I never feel rushed. I generally get the appointment times that work with my job schedule. He is passionate about his work and teaches classes in the evenings as well as engages in continuous learning. He has a positive attitude and I always have a better day after seeing him.

OMGeezee! This doctor is the best that I have encountered so far. I have never been really open to chiropractors’ method of healing since im not really a touch feely kinda person but this doctor is on another level that has changed mind. I had been having back/​hip pain for about a year and never really chose to do anything about it until it became unbearable. So I work in a medical office and ALL of my co-​workers suggested that I start seeing him because they had been before and now swear by it so I decided to give it a go. One visit was all it took to make me feel better, people! He adjusted everything to where it needed to be and I had INSTANT relief. He has a wonderful bedside demeanor with women. He is very personable and very friendly and all of the staff is very warm. I highly recommend him to anyone that is thinking about going, you will never regret it :)

I came to Doc after years of pain in my knees, hips, neck, and lower back. which were compounded by a car accident. I certainly had some negative pre-​conceived notions about chiropractic work, but Doctor Muelinghaus and his wonderful team have converted me wholeheartedly. Everyone I meet there is not only exceedingly helpful, but seems genuinely happy to be there! I now look forward to my sessions at Center For Healing, and though my insurance decided not to cover this much needed work, the team has worked with me to create a treatment plan that suits my needs. I’m back dancing, looking a fool at yoga, and now with greatly reduced to zero pain.

Just got back from my fourth appointment with «Doc Muli» and I feel like I have a completely NEW NECK! For the first time since I can’t remember, I can move my neck freely — in all directions — without any pain, crimping or restriction. It feels like a baby’s neck. And that’s not even what I went in for. I have so much confidence that this doctor really knows how to get the body back in order. His appointments are thorough and lengthy, I never feel rushed or caught off-​guard by a surprise «crack,» and always leave feeling as relaxed as if I’ve had a great massage.

A while back I went to my primary care doctor for my annual visit. I was having terrible pain in my left hip that was affecting everything I did but most importantly sleep! I asked my PCP to get me a referral for a Chiropractor and since I hadn’t seen anyone in California for Chiropractic I didn’t have anyone specific in mind the only thing I knew I wanted was the drop table. I got my referral for Dr. Christoph Muhlinghaus on a Tuesday or a Wednesday and by Saturday his office called me to make an appointment, which was good because I was totally putting it off! I went in for my first appointment and I was glad to see (and hear) the drop tables, Dr. Christoph was quick to come out and make sure I knew the drop table was the noise maker and not the patient he was treating. I knew that but appreciated the information anyway. My first appointment was interesting, he explained everything he was doing while he poked and prodded to see what was where and how «off» everything was. He teaches anatomy as well but is happy to dumb it down for those of us who don’t understand all the big words. I felt at ease with him right away, he told me that my right hip was significantly higher than my left which was why my left hip hurt so much. Then he checked everything else including my knees, it seems I was quite broken! He adjusted my hips and lower back, then onto my side for the ribs (both sides), then onto my back for the neck and shoulders. Then the scary part, he went to the knees. You see for several years now when I would sit for a while and then get up my knees would forget what their job was! He started adjusting my knees, yikes I thought! But no, it didn’t hurt and since that first day my knees haven’t forgotten what they are supposed to do! In fact I was goofing with a friend at work and we started running down the hallway (I know such children!) and laughing when I suddenly stopped and said to my friend Holy Crap! I am running! She said I KNOW! I didn’t want to say anything because I didn’t want to ruin it!
You see Dr. Christoph first went to school for massage therapy, then took it further by becoming a Chiropractor so he understand the muscles and how they relate to the bones like no other Chiropractor I have known. He understands that just adjusting doesn’t work if the muscles are in knots. What a concept! Dr. Christoph is very warm, funny and lots of fun. I am so happy that my doctor got my referral to see Dr. Christoph.
A little about the office. His billing person Layla is terrific, on top of all of the insurance payments and issues and is very communicative if she thinks there might be a problem. He also has a body work person there to do some light massage to get you ready for the adjustment, his name is Nate, he is super sweet with occasionally pokey elbows HAHA but more than wonderful! If you have a choice, this should definitely be it!

Sometime last year, I had a big knot on my neck (almost a size of the ping pong) — went to a massage therapist and it didnt’ go away. Dr. Muhlinghaus definitely helped get rid of that! Before I went to him; I have had chiropractors work on me with the clicker for the spine, and when I saw him take that out, I was thinking: Oh no, not that again! Let me just tell you; this really helped in ways I thought wouldn’t. He’s got a great sense of humor and good character and my «firecracker» (he went with us on our Saturday appointments and couldn’t say chiropractor at the time; firecracker was close enough) son is enamored by his personality.
I even got my husband to go see him with all his low back pains from standing and lifting in his retail job.

I have suffered with lower back pain for many years and approximately five years ago fell and injured my coccyx. I have endured the shots on numerous occasion but the pain just kept coming back.
I was referred to Doc Muhlinghaus about four years ago. My only regret is that I didn’t see him sooner. Since being under his care, I can truly say that I am almost pain free. Rather than being in constant pain daily now I only need to see the doctor at a interval of 8 weeks.
This has been by far the best course of treatment. And not to mention the very best outcome for me.
