“As a dentist myself I ironically suffer from bad TMJ related issues. I trust my care to Dr. Emily who is thorough, effective, and has a very vast understanding of what techniques work best for each individual case. She was able to produce immediate results by releasing the oral muscles both intra and extra-orally and helped to alleviate general shoulder discomfort, which is all correlated. I most appreciated the time she took to explain each adjustment and how timely she always is for appointments. Highly recommend Dr. Emily!”   ~Dr. Ally

“When I got pregnant I planned a totally natural birth and so I wanted to keep my body well aligned throughout the pregnancy to avoid any requirement for intervention later on. I was really comfortable getting treatment from Emily when pregnant because she is so gentle with her adjustments while still being really affective. I had been seeing Emily for adjustments on and off for about a year but I started seeing her at least once a week as soon as I found out i was pregnant. Getting regular adjustments through pregnancy helped me feel as comfortable as possible in those later months and i believe that her treatments contributed in a big way to my peaceful and natural labor. After my baby girl was born I brought her to see Emily for an adjustment a few days later. She is great with her, she is really really gentle and the little one was so much happier after seeing her. The whole family have continued to get weekly adjustments since the birth and it is keeping us all comfortable, calm and happy! We live much further away now but it is totally worth making the effort and driving out from El Cajon once a week to see her! Thank you Dr Emily!”  ~Kim

“Dr. Emily’s knowledge of energy, the subtle imbalances of the body and its flow, along with the more traditional skills of moving bones just right to correct alignments were remarkable.  I felt completely at ease with her gentle touch and ability to always focus correctly on the places and where I needed the most help.  I have scoliosis and fused vertebrae, and require chiropractic adjustments weekly, if not more.  Dr. Emily quickly tuned into my body and its uniqueness, and kept me feeling great!  It was a pleasure to experience Dr. Emily’s highly successful techniques and kind personality!”   ~Gail

 “I am a physically active individual, and have no real health concerns. Even though I am healthy physically I wanted to make sure I could keep my body in that condition, so I sought out someone who could assist in that. I was adjusted regularly by Dr. Mayo for a year for wellness care to keep my body in great shape. During that year period I noticed I was able to move better, compete longer, and recover faster in my various activities including running, basketball, and lifting weights. Thank you Dr. Mayo!”    ~Joe

“Dr. Emily Mayo is a compassionate doctor who strives to empower all individuals to reach their highest health potential.  Dr. Emily’s approach to chiropractic care is both personable and caring.  She has a unique ability to connect with others.  I always feel comfortable and confident under her care.  I would recommend Dr. Emily to anyone interested in living a healthier and more vibrant life.”     ~Marisa

“After suffering from headaches for many years, I was thrilled to find great relief through chiropractic adjustments.  Dr. Mayo was very professional and patient in explaining the causes for the headaches and the reasons why her adjustments worked to alleviate them.  She has also taught me the importance of a fully functioning nervous system and the role a chiropractic adjustment plays in it.  I truly appreciate Dr. Mayo’s gentle, effective touch.”      ~Patty

“I have had an ongoing hamstring injury for almost 10 years from running  the LA marathon in freezing rain. I kept pushing through the injury and had to almost stop running completely. I tried PT with little help. I met Emily at yoga fest in SanDiego and got a full exam. My hamstring is so much better. I have hope to actually run with out pain again. we are working on other issues as well. Her adjustments are gentle but very effective.  She is extremely knowledgeable.”  ~Jodie

“I started seeing Dr. Mayo after dislocating a rib snowboarding.  She has a terrific table-side manner.  Her office space is warm and inviting (and it sports a children’s area with plenty of toys).  Her knowledge is impeccable, and she’s rather adept at explaining the technical aspects of her chiropractic work in words I understand.  She had my ribs fixed up in no time.  I have continued seeing her weekly for over a year now.  As a high-performance athlete, I receive a regular regimen of bodywork.  Dr. Mayo has proven to be indispensable in preparing and maintaining my body for my acrobatic pursuits.”  ~John

“I live a pretty active life in San Diego, like so many of the city’s patrons, but sometimes all the fun comes at a cost. For me, it’s my hamstrings — I feel constantly plagued by what I’ve self-diagnosed as High Hamstring Tendinopathy (HHT), as well as some intermittent sciatica. My ability to stretch my hamstrings on my own has been greatly reduced in the last year, a significant impediment to my yoga practice and running routine. When the HHT is really acting up running and even basic leg movements become significantly distressful.

I’ve known Dr. Emily for a long while and recommend Mayo Chiropractic to friends with bodily ailments quite often, but I never knew that she could help with my hamstring issues as well. Turns out, her clinic really is a Center for Life and even after the first treatment I noticed a huge difference. My sciatica has disappeared, resulting from the sacrum adjustment she gave me (the sacrum is quite important!) and her techniques of alleviating my hamstring tension have proven incredibly effective. A series of just a few treatments showed progressive improvement each time, and the exercises and stretches she gave me to do at home allow me to continue towards full recovery on my own.

Aside from my personal experience with Dr. Emily, I can also attest that her clinic offers a lovely and salubrious environment for receiving clients both familiar with chiropractics and to newcomers or those wary of the practice. She’s as soothing and friendly as she is competent and professional, and I’m very happy to give her my full endorsement and grateful thanks.”  ~Steven

“My parents suffered from a severe car accident several years ago and were too afraid to make use of the covered chiropractic services they could have received for free (other party was at fault) to help with recovery. My mom always thought, if it was slowly getting better, than that was good enough. After hearing about the impact, I had pushed for them to get care where they live, in Dallas, but they were just not open to it at all. It had been 5 years already and my mom still had a significant amount of head/neck/back pain and limited movement.

I heard about Emily’s chiropractic work through a yoga friend. My buddy specifically said that Emily was very gentle and would do well at making my parents feel at ease. I was hoping that if my parents saw her during their SD visit, perhaps they would even open up to regular chiropractic care when they returned to Dallas.

Upon entering Emily’s practice, we noticed the office felt quite serene. There was a nice waiting area, children’s play area, and very comfortable chiro tables she did her work on. Throughout the entire adjustment she explained to us what she was measuring/observing and then her plan of action, always checking in with my mom if she thought it was OK making sure to stay within her comfort zones. Surprisingly, it was so relaxing my mom nearly dozed off when she was laying on her stomach. Emily wrapped up the session with rubbing some essential oils onto her tight trap muscles.

Needless to say, they were looking forward to coming back for a second visit a few days later before they left San Diego. On the second visit, after another adjustment Dr. gave several exercises, stretches, massage techniques to take home and even gave my dad some tips on how he can help massage/stretch her problem areas.

One of the things my mom had trouble with was raising one of her arms past halfway. After Dr. finished the first treatment my mom could raise it 50% higher! My dad and I could not believe how instantaneous the results were and kept talking about how Emily had “miracle hands”. By the end of the second visit my mom could raise her arm completely to the top, as high as the other. It was great to witness such an immediate fix with my mom’s body and gave my parents assurance that Emily definitely knew what she was doing. My parents are no longer skeptics and are finally on path to quicker recovery thanks to Dr. Mayo!”  ~Jessalyn

“Emily is incredible. She’s a wealth of knowledge about pretty much anything and she has an uncanny ability to do an intense adjustment with the most subtle and non-jarring technique I’ve ever experienced. She is extremely caring and goes out of her way to give suggestions and tips and exercises on anything she thinks may help you. There are not enough good things to say about Emily but just trust me that you will feel like a million bucks after leaving an adjustment with her. She also has a wonderful, warm, welcoming office that is a joy to be in. I have a lot of jaw and TMJ issues and she does adjustments and techniques to help these particular issues that I have never found any other practitioner or chiropractor to be aware of or implement, and she has helped me immensely in that area, among many others. I highly recommend her.”  ~Kelly

“Dr.Emily’s adjustments are amazing! She just knew so much about how the body works, and with this knowledge was able to help me feel the best I’ve felt in my whole life. Her assessments are flawless and so specific. It was truly like watching an artist paint a masterpiece. I will never forget her adjusting my ankle one day and it was like an epiphany. I specifically remember being able to run the longest I have in a while afterwards. Words cannot express the gratitude and appreciation I have for Dr. Mayo. She really changed my life. My entire outlook on who I was becoming changed after being introduced to her. She was so passionate and so eager to help others.”     ~Chijioke

“Dr.Emily was quick to respond to the email I sent her requesting information for my 2 month old baby. My baby had been suffering from constipation, hard stool, for 2 weeks. Because he was exclusively breast-fed his pediatrician and lactation consultant didn’t have a good answer as to why he was constipated. We met with Dr. Emily on Monday and she did some adjustments on my baby. Immediately I noticed improvements, we saw her again on Tuesday and that day he pooped twice. What a relief our baby was back to being happy. She also helped with his latch and his head posture.”   ~Diana
