Expert Chiropractor Dr. Raquelle Martins

Chiropractor
Dr. Martins isn't just a chiropractor in Castro Valley; she's a neighbor. As a true East Bay native, her passion for serving the community she has always called home is the driving force behind Martins Chiropractic. Her journey in health began with a Bachelor's Degree in Biology from Sonoma State University, giving her a deep appreciation for the body's intricate design. This passion led her to Life Chiropractic College West, right here in Hayward, where her exceptional skill and compassionate approach to patient care earned her the distinguished title of “Honors Intern.”

Her commitment to the Castro Valley community is woven into everything she does. You'll often find her outside the office, sharing her knowledge at local health talks or supporting local causes through fundraising. She has intentionally made her practice a pillar of accessibility, conveniently located right off Highway 580 and next to the Castro Valley BART Station, making it simple for busy families and professionals to find time for their health.

Dr. Martins warmly welcomes patients from every walk of life. She finds joy in helping a wide range of people—from newborns and new parents to dedicated athletes and active retirees. She understands that the idea of a chiropractic adjustment can be intimidating for some. That is why she has dedicated her practice to a gentle-first philosophy.

She specializes in the Activator Methods technique, a modern and precise approach that requires no "twisting," "cracking," or "popping." This method allows her to gently detect and correct misalignments, which can interfere with the vital communication between your brain and your body. By restoring this connection, Dr. Martins' goal is to help your body function optimally, so you can get back to living your life with health and vitality.
