I initially went to Dr. McLeod to treat a knee injury when my orthopedist said that he had done all that he could do. I have severe cartilage damage in my knee and experienced pain during most activities (e.g. running, walking up and down stairs, etc.). I was impressed immediately with the professional, yet friendly manner in which he treated me. I felt perfectly comfortable from the very beginning. The second thing that impressed me was the amount of time that he spent with me. Each visit was two to three times as long as I have experienced with other chiropractors. The third thing was that my knee felt significantly better after only one treatment. Dr. McLeod has been able to relieve most of the knee pain and has me back to low impact activities, most importantly surfing! I also had chronic pain in my upper and lower back and shoulder. Within only a few visits (and exercises to do at home) my back and shoulder pain completely resolved. A few weeks ago, I mentioned that I had been suffering from asthma due to allergies for over a year. Dr. McLeod treated me specifically for my lungs and provided a dietary supplement that improved my breathing that same day! My breathing continues to improve. He was even able to help me lose weight. I have been overweight since I was 10-years-old. My weight has “yo-yo’d” on various diets throughout my teens, twenties and thirties, never reaching a healthy weight. With my knee injury and asthma, I found myself severely overweight and quite depressed at the end of last year. Dr. McLeod suggested a specific weight loss program (Take Shape For Life). It took some convincing, but I finally decided to give it a try. With Dr. McLeod’s coaching and support I was able to stick to the program and lost 60 lbs in 4 months! And I’m still losing! I was stunned how fast the weight came off. I’ve been treated by dozens of doctors throughout my life, and I wish they were as capable and dedicated as Dr. McLeod. I am very fortunate to have been referred to him.

“Hi, my name is Caitlin Fahey and I’m a personal trainer and a dance instructor here in Santa Cruz. I first met Justin McLeod several years ago who convinced me to come in a try a session with him. I had never been to see a chiropractor and wasn’t really expecting to seek any treatment from him; but after I saw him once I was so impressed with the soft tissue work he did. I had never experiences Graston therapy and Active Release Therapy. I started seeing him all the time and especially during that summer because I was a flying monkey in The Wizard of Oz and doing a lot of aerial work. It was really helpful and I found that a lot of aches and pains went away. Then a few years later I was involved in a minor car accident and had a lot of neck pain so I starting seeing him 2-3 times a week for a month. It’s amazing the result that I’ve had, just went from being in a lot of pain, difficulty sleeping, to almost immediately after seeing him experiencing a ton of relief. After the course of several weeks of treatment, I’m back, back to flying monkey status! I really recommend for any athletes, anybody looking to improve their physical performanc. If anyone has aches and pains, or muscular imbalances, come and see Justin McLeod and Dr. J will help you out.”

"It turns out that taking up competitive beach volleyball is pretty hard on one’s body. My right shoulder and neck in particular have become a problem. I started seeing Dr. Justin and have consistently had great relief and progress in my shoulder joint and neck pain. Dr. J also treats my son’s shoulder issues that have arisen from lots of surfing – and my boyfriend’s neck problems from previous car accidents. I really appreciate that Dr. J takes the time to educate me how to take better care of myself with my home exercises and I always learn a little more anatomy and how things function. I hand out his business card to people after because of my confidence in his skills and integrity. Thanks Dr. J!"

Friendly, efficient, and professional. He communicates very well with me (as the patient) leaving no room for discomfort and uneasy surprises. He informs me of the correct way for me to maintain the healing process for myself ensuring the pain to stay away. I also watched him work with a child patient right before me and he is great with kids.

Dr. McLeod is absolutely amazing! Every time that I go in, I leave feeling 1,000% better. His wife, Sylvia, is so kind and easy to work with on scheduling, always goes the extra mile to fit you in for a time that works for you. I cant recommend Santa Cruz Spine and Sport high enough!
