I first went to see Erika in September of 2015 after I fell ill with some sort of mono-like virus in early March. When I got sick in March of 2015 I could not get out of bed for three months straight, and even after those three months I was still extremely fatigued and I could only be out of bed for an hour or two at most. I saw doctor after doctor for the next few months, but every doctor I saw just turned me to another doctor, and no one knew what was wrong with me. On top of the fatigue I was experiencing headaches lasting days at a time, a weird foggy feeling in my head, nausea, fainting, muscle spasms and pain, as well as sinus issues. Finally one of the doctors I had been seeing said that it was likely that I had Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and that there was not much to be done about it. I felt like my life was over after this news, at the age of 21, I had already acquired a disease that was "incurable" and that was a depressing thought. However shortly after I received this news, I stumbled upon Dr. Erika and things started to look up. I began getting treatment once a week and slowly started to see improvement in my health. She has helped me not only through the soft tissue work, adjustments, and muscle testing, but also with other aspects of my overall health. I brought in results of recent blood work and she analyzed them and put me on a supplement regimen. She also gave me dietary and exercise recommendations. She has also helped me to realize some mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of my life that need healing. Dr. Erika has a healing touch, and deep knowledge for how the body heals. After four months of treatment I feel 80% better than before. I am able to make it through an entire day without crashing, I rarely get headaches, I am able to hike for the first time in almost a year, the muscle spasms have died down, my gut function has improved, and my hope for the future has been restored. If you are in the same place I was, dont believe that you cannot get better. Find someone who can help you on your healing journey, such as Dr. Erika, and stick with the treatment. You can get better :)

Dr. Erika Eckman has changed my view of chiropractic healing. After two consecutive car accidents, I saw multiple chiropractors to assist with my physical therapy, and was continually disappointed that through years of two or three times per week treatment, my back still hurt intensely each day. I was hesitant to try Dr. Eckman because I didnt really know what myofascial release or lymphatic drainage were, but after coming in on a Groupon to check her out, I am still a loyal patient almost two years later. Appointments with Dr. Eckman are completetly opposite from typical 5 minute chiropractic "crack factory" appointments. She spends 20-30 minutes on each person, and genuinely cares about helping people feel better. When my friends ask who she is, the term that comes to mind is actually "Wellness Doctor". Dr. Erika holistically works through areas of pain and resistance using muscle testing, pressure points on lymph nodes and nervous system, cranial therapy, and others. She offers all-natural remedies/vitamins and stretches to do at home to help with healing. Shes very flexible and puts the patient first at all times Dr. Eckman and I have worked through some serious spinal and cranial pain, and I am looking forward to even more future healing from her sessions. I highly recommend her for anyone who is hesitant, or tired of not finding relief from persistent pain.

Ive been to several chiropractors, but Dr. Erika has been by far the most effective. Some chiropractors give one or two adjustments in 5 - 10 minute appointments. But appointments with Dr. Erika are 30 minutes long. She is much more thorough than other chiropractors I have been to. She has many different ways to check for alignment imbalances from your head to feet. She also uses muscle checking (aka applied kinesiology) which is a fantastic tool that some chiropractors use. It helps to identify misalignments and also the best way to correct the problems. I went to Dr. Erika for some headache problems and she helped greatly whereas the two chiropractors I saw before her helped minimally. Also from seeing Dr. Erika, she has helped fix some knee and hip pain Id been having for over 15 years. Pretty much I had put those issues on the back burner, but a positive side effect of Dr. Erikas thorough sessions has helped those issues and they feel so much better now. For these reasons, I would guess that Dr. Erika is one of the best chiropractors in San Diego. She is a gem. If you are serious about improving your health and feeling better, this is the place for you.

Erika is amazing. Not your typical chiropractor by any definition. She is very thorough to ensure where the root of your issue and symptom is coming from and then takes very careful and deliberate care to test, adjust, massage, and stretches according to what your body needs to best function. I love that she is very clear to show the progress in your body. I injured my MCL and every muscle test and adjustment she would show where the muscles were getting stronger. It wasnt just adjusting my body but learning how to be in tune with my body. She also recommends food exercises and other options that will help you heal outside the appointments. She has a soothing sweet personality that makes you feel at ease. She is very intelligent and if you like the info she is great at explaining things very simply so you can understand what is happening in your body. Im taking my son to see her next week and I am very excited about how much she will be able to help him too. Love her!

Dr. Eckman is one of the most precise chiropractors Ive been treated by. I went in one day after being sick for a week with a fever of almost 102 and left her office with a temp of 98.6 my congestion was almost completely gone and I could breath deeply without coughing. I was almost 100% better by the next day without taking any medications...since I work in the medical field it kind of freaked out some of the nurses. Dr. Eckman focuses on what needs to be done and works on those specific areas which gives your body the ability to do its job. She is a great chiropractor and would recommend her to anyone.

I purchased a deal through Deal Me In a few months back. I was curious about the Neuro Lymphatic Release Therapy w/Healing Active Release Treatment. I had 2 accidents & currently getting massages & chiropractic treatments which seem to be temporary. Dr. Eckman did an impressive job releasing the damaged soft tissue in areas of my collar bone & back. She concluded my SI joint was constantly misaligned due to my breathing & movements w/my diaphragms. Her diagnosis and treatments have been impressive. I look forward to Dr. Eckman correcting my issues.

I have suffered from chronic headaches for more than twenty years. I would receive chiropractic adjustments that would temporarily relieve the pain but the adjustments wouldnt last too long. I met Dr. Eckman and agree to try her approach which incorporated a variety of techniques, including Active Release Technology. Im happy to report that not only did she eliminate my headaches, she has also introduced the methods to help keep them from occurring! Thank you, Dr. Erika!!
