Redwood Spine and Mobility rents space from within SOL Santa Cruz and Victory Chiropractic, so you may see their name on maps or signage. Just head inside, you're in the right place!
- 02
Loose fitting clothing or athleisure is ideal. Something that you can comfortably move in. Direct skin contact may be required for treatment purposes, so clothing like thick sweaters, or denim jeans can sometimes make it difficult.
- 03
Yes. You will be charged a fee for cancellations within 24 hours of your appointment or if you don't show up for your appointment. We set aside time specifically for you, and when appointments are missed or canceled late, it impacts our ability to help other patients. The fee helps cover the lost time and keeps our schedule running smoothly so everyone gets the care they need. If something unexpected comes up, let us know as soon as possible and we’ll do our best to work with you!

Your first visit will last approximately 45 minutes. It will consist of history taking, a movement assessment, a physical exam, an orthopedic exam, possibly special tests dependent upon your condition and will end with treatment. We will also discuss any concerns you have and agree upon the treatment plan moving forward. Your care is collaborative.

First Visit
- You will be required to complete an intake form and other possible surveys related to your complaint. This will include personal information required to have on your medical file, your health history and an informed consent.
Follow-up visits
- After your first visit, typically no other forms are required unless it's a re-examination or special circumstances.
- 07
In most cases, yes. If the exam shows it is clinically appropriate the treatment will at minimum consist of a chiropractic adjustment. View the "Treatment" section for more information on chiropractic care.

SOL Santa Cruz
There is plenty of street parking in the surrounding streets and neighborhood (Seabright Ave & Hanover St). There are also a few parking spaces in the back of the building. Take the small driveway to the right of the office and head under the overhang (6.5ft MAX).
Victory Chiropractic
The office is located within a business park so there is plenty of parking. Use the link below to park at. Once you park near the dropped pin, you will then turn towards Winchester Blvd and look for the large "D" placard on the building. Walk down that row of doors until you see D-136 "Forever Strong", which is a shared office space for multiple chiropractors. Inside D-136, my treatment room will be on the left with "Dr. Nicholas Hicks" written on the door. I may be with a patient when you arrive, but there is a chair outside the door you can wait at.

Treatment
While it is possible for wheelchair access to the building and treatment room, there is very limited space. Motorized wheelchair access to rooms will not be possible due to space limitations.
Parking
There is no designated handicap parking, but there are parking spaces in the back behind the building with room for wheelchair access.
Bathroom
The largest bathroom we have is unable to accommodate space for a wheelchair to fit inside.
If you are aware of these limitations and still would like to be treated, please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.
