Before I had my first appointment with Dr. Gaily, I had never been to a Chiropractor... I felt I really didnt need to... I work out every day - swim a mile, lift weights, hike, do cardio, eat right - generally pretty healthy... That was until my back suddenly went out to the point that I couldnt walk and had to go to the ER! A week after that event, I made my first appointment with Dr. Gaily... After an X-Ray, he explained to me what was going on in my back - and what needed to change... He adjusted my upper and lower back... I asked if I could start swimming again and he told me I could - just start in moderation... After a few days, I was swimming 2000 yards (40 laps) without stopping... I hadnt done that since my college days!!... The skillful adjustments that Dr. Gaily was giving me clearly needed to be done a long time ago... I have much more physical endurance than before my treatment... Im grateful to Dr. Gaily for his wisdom, knowledge, and skills that make me feel much better than I have in years! Also, I really like the look/feel of the Gonstead Family Practice offices - architecture/ambiance are important to me... Really great taste in office look/feel/decor... Very important as well is the staff... Theyre friendly, professional, very little waiting before my appointment... I couldnt be happier! Brad Z.

Hello back pain sufferers! If you are in trouble like I was, go to the Back and Neck Pain Center! Im not sure what happened, but my regular running workout took a turn for the worse. I felt extreme tightness in my back and then panic. Will I be able to work? Exercise again? Im fit and live a healthy lifestyle! After two days of getting through work with Tylenol to knock back the pain, I dropped into the office after the 4th of July holiday. The staff could see I was in trouble and made arrangements to squeeze me in that morning. Dr. Gaily evaluated me, and after a few adjustments, I knew things would be better. And they were. The acute pain was gone, the panic was gone, and I could feel my tense back slowly start to relax. Truly miraculous! A follow-up appointment confirmed the positive progress I was making, and I got the green light to start gentle exercise again. The experience has been life-changing. Approaching 50, I realize I have to tone down my gym exercises, cut back on coffee to reduce tension at work (green tea substitute now!), and be aware that my running shoes need to be newer instead of older. Pain pills are not the answer - get your back looked at first! Its a holistic approach, and the right one.

Vickie S After having some troublesome back pain and many recommendations from others, I decided to see Dr. Gaily for relief a couple years back. My experience with his office has been very plesant and welcoming. The enviroment is very comfortable and relaxing. It feels like a day at the spa :) The staff is very positive, professional, and accomidating with scheduling and billing. As a patient of Dr. Gaily, I can honestly say he truely cares about his patients and making them better. He treats you for your existing ailments in addition to giving you helpful preventative tips and information to ensure the best possible results. He treatment is gentle yet very affective at the same time. My initial treatment included a consulatation and a scheduled treatment plan. I began going to him and noticed a remarked difference after a few weeks in how I felt and now I feel great. I continue to get adustments about once a month as maintenance and havent had any issues since. I highly recommend Dr. Gaily and his office for any chiropractic needs that you may have.

Dr. Gaily helped to heal my shoulder at a time that I thought that my only remaining option was surgery. I am a young female athlete and coach in the Monterey area, and I swear by Dr. Gailys work. By the time I saw Dr. Gaily in his clinic, my injury had been steadily worsening for about 8 months. I had already seen two physicians, a physical therapist, and two ART massage therapists for my shoulder; it was so inflamed that I could not lift it above 90 degrees on some days. Dr. Gaily offered a diagnosis and treatment plan that were radically different than anything I had previously encountered, but the treatments have worked, and Dr. Gaily has shown me light at the end of the tunnel. I have seen Dr. Gailys treatments benefit patients of all ages, athletic backgrounds, and physical limitations. His staff is friendly, and his office is welcoming. Thank you, Doc, for everything youve done for me. -Mariah Heller.

I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Aaron Gaily and his staff. When I walk in I’m always warmly greeted by their friendly staff. The office is always clean and I always feel so comfortable coming in for my visits. Dr. Gaily is someone who actually cares about me, he is respectful and very knowledgeable. He is always teaching me ways that I can reach my personal health goals and keeps my body functioning at a higher level. I always feel great after getting adjusted! Dr. Gaily is unique because he treats me as a unique individual and is someone who is trustworthy. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is either in pain or looking to keep their body in tip top shape. Thanks guys for helping me with my back pain! It’s an amazing feeling knowing that I can play with my kids and do the activities that I love to do, without having to deal with pain.

Dr. Gailys office is awesome. Every time I would step in the office I felt welcomed and in good care. Gaily was always on time, very friendly, and helpful. The receptionists were also kind and easy to work with. The office itself was always clean, put together, and had yummy treats like cookies or coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. This office has patient appreciation days which are awesome, they also give you a free blockbuster card. Whenever anyone tells me about pain they are having I recommend Gaily. He fixed my jaw and low back problems with gentle adjustments that were never jarring or painful. I believe more people should go to chiropractors like Gaily rather than going straight to surgery and other medical doctors. Let your body heal itself the way it was meant to! Gaily helps your body to do this. I highly recommend The Gonstead Family Practice.

I had back pain ever since I can remember, but I had learned to live with it. I could not stand straight and found my posture to be horrible, always slouching (sp?) to help my pain. A friend went to Dr. Gaily and told me that I should check him out. Chiropratics always scared me because I had heard so many stories, but Im so glad I trusted Dr. Gaily when he told me he really wanted to help me. The Gonstead Method works! I had recently gotten a job with insurance, so I went in just for fun. I got an xray and my back was thoroughly messed up. My just for fun visit ended up helping me in so many ways! My back was feeling so much better and I was surprised as I went through the first set of adjustments that I had pain in so many places that I managed to live with but it was going away! My neck was corrected as well, which helped me a lot with headaches!
