Dr. Gottlieb not only does traditional Chiropractic, but also adjustment of the Atlas (Upper Cervical, very specialized-no pain, no popping), and Low Level Laser Therapy. I was very twisted up when I started seeing him a year ago, and have clearly seen improvement, otherwise I wouldnt have continued going. I have Fibromyalgia (13 years, I dont recommend it), and while Im far from cured, the level of suffering has reduced substantially, allowing me to be more active and less of a prisoner of pain. I still have flare ups and fatigue to a lesser degree, but any true reduction of pain is invaluable to me, and Im grateful. The most dramatic improvement has been from the Laser therapy. Its not a destructive laser like those found in hair removal, but instead it stimulates the body to heal itself, and there is no pain during treatment, just a warm feeling. I had a 22 year old back injury that was very painful and often triggered Fibro flare ups. I was considering getting a consult for surgery, knowing full well my dad suffered even more as a result of his surgeries. Pain can make you knowingly consider poor decisions, its a powerful thing; you get panicky. Long story short, the day after the very first Laser treatment, surgery was no longer on the table. Let that sink in for a moment. Im not sure why this isnt in the news more often, its truly amazing! It still bothers me when I over do it, it doesnt make me superman, but the difference has been truly outstanding. When I dont over do it, its unnoticeable. Considering how severe it was prior to treatment, thats an amazing result for something that has always aggravated me. It has also reduced the pain in my legs dramatically, and every reduction of severe pain helps to reduce my overall suffering. I have a long way to go, thats just one of the "benefits" of Fibro being all over your body, but with each new area treated I find a new level of relief. Its quite a nice break from the norm for me personally. It also does something for your mental health when something actually has a lasting effect on Fibro pain, its a disease that truly tortures a persons mind. Those with chronic pain of any kind are probably familiar with that problem, and I think its absolutely worth trying. Youll probably know in a couple days after the first treatment if it works. Regina is his secret weapon. From the moment I walked in, she treated me with understanding, professionalism, and genuine kindness. Ive never felt like a number, and that kind of thing makes a huge difference when youre already really sick of going to medical offices, which was about 12 years ago for me. The combination of the Upper Cervical treatment and the Laser therapy has had a substantial impact on my day to day, and my quality of life has improved measurably. Thank you Dr. Gottlieb!

I am a new patient and am so happy I came to see Dr. Gottlieb. I had vertigo off and on for two years but the episodes began to last longer and it brought about several other symptoms such as Tinnitus, double vision, unsteady walking and balance issues, sore neck, foggy thoughts, sleep issues, and anxiety. Needless to say, I was no longer able to work or drive. I spent three months on temporary disability while working with my Kaiser doctors and I was just getting worse. They were concerned with trying to name my disease so they could give me the right medication and treatment. I went from having Meniere’s, A-Typical Meniere’s, to Migraine Associated Vertigo. Needless to say the Betahistine and steroid ear shots for Meniere’s didn’t work, the balance testing came out normal, I didn’t have any hearing loss, physical therapy made me dizzier, and the Nortriptyline gave me migraines and headaches when I didn’t have them to begin with! On top of that, I was supposed to stay on that medication for another month. At that point I was becoming bedridden for 2-3 days a week with migraines. Recently, a co-worker saw an advertisement for Dr. Gottlieb’s services on Facebook and thought of me. She forwarded me the link and asked me to look into it as it may be helpful and I would be able to return to work. I sent Dr. Gottlieb an email after hours and was surprised to hear from him during the weekend. We spoke briefly and I had an appointment quickly the following week. Dr. Gottlieb was very understanding and listened to my story, which I know he must have heard many times before from his other patients. However, he didn’t jump to conclusions. During my visit, he explained how the Axis vertebrae should function and how even a slight misalignment may cause issues. I was very impressed that he took time to evaluate and explain his findings in a manner that I could understand. He is not like other doctors or chiropractors that just performs his job and your off. At each visit, he tells me what he is doing and why before any treatments or evaluations. After my first treatment, I was given a brochure with a list of items of things I may experience before my next visit. He wanted to make sure he knew about any of these if they occurred. I was surprised that after one visit, I didn’t experience any of the post symptoms, I slept through the night, and I even felt refreshed in the morning. This hadnt happened in over three months! Headaches were gone and I was able to walk much better! I’m sure there was divine intervention involved in all of this as it was a complete turnaround…and it happened so quickly. I plan to continue my treatments and hope to return to work soon. If you are experiencing vertigo, regardless of the type, please don’t waste your time with pills. Go see Dr. Gottlieb. You will be glad you did!

Over three months ago, I suddenly experienced debilitating vertigo (non-spinning), dizziness, brain fog, and lightheadedness. It was 24/7 and never went away. I was bedridden for five weeks not knowing what was happening to me. I went to over 6 different medical doctors including a neurologist who had no clue what was wrong, and no interest in trying to figure it out. Being 25 and otherwise healthy, this was horrific for me. After the five weeks in bed, I miraculously found Dr. Gottlieb. He has been the only doctor who has not only given me hope to heal, but who has not given up on me, and is dedicated to figuring this all out. The first few weeks I didnt see much change, and then suddenly after about 4 weeks of care, I noticed progress. As the puzzle pieces were being put together, we incorporated massage therapy and laser therapy which has help tremendously as well. Dr. Gottliebs treatment for me also incorporated QSM3 which showed great results. After about 3 months of treatment with him, I can say that I feel SO much better, and I am able to function normally. I feel 90% better than I did 3 months ago, and I know my continued treatment will get me to 100%. As a bonus, this treatment has also cured my neck and back pain, TMJ, and headaches which, at the time, I was not concerned with trying to treat. Regina is the best, and always makes scheduling easy. She is so friendly and makes the office visit wonderful. And Todd is a wonderful massage therapist who has helped me greatly. He takes interest in patients symptoms, and talks you through whats going on during the massage. Im very grateful for everyone. Thanks, team!!!
