Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments target spinal misalignments to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance nervous system function. This hands-on technique addresses conditions like back pain, neck pain, and headaches through precise manual manipulations. Patients benefit from reduced inflammation, improved posture, and accelerated healing without invasive procedures or medications.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy uses low-level light to stimulate cellular repair and reduce inflammation. This non-invasive treatment accelerates healing for conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, and soft tissue injuries while improving circulation and reducing pain naturally.
Massage Therapy
Our therapeutic massage techniques relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. Tailored sessions address specific needs through modalities like deep tissue, sports massage, and trigger point therapy to complement chiropractic care.
Rehabilitation Exercises
Customized rehabilitation programs strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and prevent re-injury. These evidence-based exercises target core stability and postural correction to support long-term spinal health and functional recovery.
Pain Management
Our comprehensive pain management approach combines chiropractic care, lifestyle counseling, and advanced therapies to address chronic conditions. We focus on identifying root causes rather than temporary symptom relief for sustainable wellness outcomes.

I spent a lot of time researching and contacting chiropractors. My back is becoming more painful and most doctors were trying to schedule me months out. Not only was Dr. Martin personally quick at responding to me but understood my back pain and prioritized my visit to come the next day. He did a thorough exam and I've been feeling great with my regular checkups. I appreciate the time he takes to address my issues, the empathy and understanding of what needs to happen quickly and what we can wait on. I highly recommend!

Dr. Gary Martin cracked my rib on chest, even though he did use laser tool to help me to recover. The lady responsible billing is greedy. Dr Gary Martin is inside my networks, but she insisted to submit my claims through out of networks. Which made me paid more money. I spoke to her and her attitude was very rude!

My family has been going to DR Gary for the past 6 months, and he's been an amazing chiropractor for us. My son has had allergies growing up and after finding out Zyrtec and other allergy meds can stunt growth, we reached out to our friend who practices holistic healings. She then referred us over to DR Gary. I was apprehensive at first, but after taking him weekly for 2 months, his allergies has definitely subdued. Our whole family goes there now and we couldn't be happier. We highly recommend this place for a holistic approach and overall wellness.

I have been a patient of Dr Gary Martin for years now. I started going when I had experienced terrible neck pain from my job. He really listened to my concerns and was able to gently, yet effectively, adjust my neck to health and comfort. I continue to maintain my entire body with his massages, red light therapy and adjustments. He is always kind, knowledgable and professional. I have referred several friends to Dr Martin, and they are thankful for the improvement he has given to their lives. Thank you Dr Martin

I was never a regular at the chiropractors office but when I needed one and found Dr. martin I became a big fan and have gone back many times, not always for a specific issue, just for general well-being. Dr. Martin's knowledge and ability to explain why adjustments are so good for the body made total sense. I've been back many times, the practice really puts in the effort to schedule an appointment we Hen needed - I would highly recommend Dr. Martin!

I had never been to a chiropractor until I saw Dr. Martin and I was highly skeptical. However, I was in a car accident which caused significant pain and I was desperate. Dr. Martin was incredibly knowledgeable and patient as he explained his plan of care and how his services could help. Within a few sessions my pain was alleviated significantly. Within another few weeks, my pain was gone completely. It was remarkable. His office is efficient with friendly staff and booking appointments was easy. I highly recommend his services!

My life is ruined after my chiropractic adjustments here. I have a heavy head for five months now and I am running around looking for doctors to treat me. Also been in PT since then. Looks like I will be disabled for life or need surgery. May be I am rare case but the chiropractors need to evaluate a patient properly and see what's safe and what is not. Only after all this happened I have seen tons of other chiropractors in quest of diagnosis and found that I am hyper mobile which I was not aware all my life and they also told me it's not safe to do heck manipulations if hypermobile. Why would they not know all this info. I feel horrible and no hopes in life

I have been a patient of Dr. Martin since 2018 and I can say that he will help you get through any type of pain that you may be experiencing. Personally, I had severe back pain that prevented me from doing daily tasks, even sitting for long periods of time. Ever since I have been getting adjustments, not only did my back pain go away and no longer have tension in my body, but also feel better to exercise and other daily tasks. Dr. Martin is very experienced and will help you make progress and relieve your pain.

Dr Martin is a life saver! I have had back problems for 20 years. I have had multiple surgeries and seen many chiropractors. I was in extreme pain yesterday and met with Dr Martin. He was very thourough in getting all my history. He was very detailed in asking questions and finding the right treatment plan for me. Immediately after my adjustment and laser treatment, I felt relief. I actually felt hopeful and optimistic leaving his office.
I have dealt with pain for so long, I really just look for relief when it gets too much to bare. With regular visits to Dr Martin, I am confident I will can actually live pain free! He is very knowledgeable and explained everything very well through the entire visit. He came highly recommended to me and I am HIGHLY recommending him as well. Thank you Dr Martin, from the bottom of my heart.

I began seeing Dr. Martin because of severe back pain due to a minor injury. Within two visits my back pain was drastically improved! He also treated my neck and shoulder which had been an issue for several months. They have nearly resolved under his care. Appointments are easy to schedule, often the same day as requested. The office staff is amazing and friendly. There is never more than a five minute wait.
If you get there early you can enjoy one of the 'roller tables' which relax the body and spine in preparation for the chiropractic manipulation. My family and I have all experienced amazing improvements while under the care of Dr. Gary Martin!

I've been visiting Doc Martin for a few months due to some lower back and neck issues. He, and all of his staff, are polite, professional and have done an excellent job helping me with my injury. I've been to several chiropractors over the years and this is the first one who's really been able to help me. Highly recommend.

Dr. Martin and his staff are wonderful! When I first came into his office, I was in a lot of pain from what turned to be a severely herniated disc pressing against my sciatic nerve. Within two weeks Dr Martin had me up and walking around pain free. Dr Martin is very knowledgeable, and his advice mirrored exactly what my orthopedic Dr recommended. Everything in the office runs smoothly too from making appointments to the deep tissue treatments by massage therapists Alison and Sharon. I highly recommend Dr Martin for your chiropractic needs!

I have visited Dr. Martin's office more than a few times almost always in great pain. Dr. Martin has a laser treatment tool that speeds my recovery time greatly. If you're going to see him you should definitely ask about that treatment. I have gone to his office needing help getting in and out of my car and leave being able to do it myself. I have never had to wait past my scheduled time to be seen. He staff is knowledgeable and friendly. If your looking for a great Chiropractor do you need look no further.

Did not feel safe Doctor Gary Martin has treated my back for months now. Today I came for the first time since Covid-19 started. I was shocked to see him and the receptionist at the desk and a patient not wearing a mask. I asked Doctor Martin to wear one to treat me. He unfolded a used one from his pocket. I didn't feel safe. At the door, there is a sign mentioning that masks are required!

I met Dr. Martin many years ago, when I was desperate for some pain relief after my car accident. I saw him regularly and shortly after felt many improvements with the treatment plan he came up for me. Years later I'm a firm believer in Chiropractic. I'm pain free, my back is strong again. All thanks to Dr. Martin. I'm still a loyal client many years later. I now unfortunately live over an hr away, but I still gladly make that drive to see him.
He keeps my migraines in check, helps my back feel lose and strong and less tense, so all worth the drive, Most of all I appreciate how nice of a person he is. You are not just a client, he genuinely cares for his patients, and goes above and beyond to make sure they get the best treatment possible. He does his scheduling well, so you never end up waiting for long. Nice and clean office. Overall a great Dr to recommend. Thanks for all you did and do for me Dr. Martin

Last week, I went to see Dr. Martin for my first time. He came highly recommended, and I can see why. He is kind, compassionate but most importantly very knowledgeable. I had been suffering with shoulder and neck pain for awhile. Dr. Martin discovered that I was not an alignment, and my pain was from a pinch nerve. After 3 visits, I am pain free. All thanks to Dr. Martin. His office is in a great location with plenty of parking, his staff is very friendly. He takes insurance! My previous chiropractor did not so what a plus. If you have pain, make an appointment right away as there is no reason to suffer. You will be in healing hands with Dr. Martin.

Dr. Gary Martin is an excellent, caring and communicative chiropractor. He first did x-rays and took my medical background and quickly diagnosed my problem areas. I appreciate his outstanding expertise and many years of experience. He explained exercises I can do at home to decrease my neck and lower back pain. He does quick, painless but great adjustments which are covered by Medicare. My symptoms have greatly improved over the last few months I have been seeing him.
I have recently also enjoyed laser treatments on my lower back which have helped decrease my inflammation. His office staff is very friendly and efficient, they help make convenient appointments for my schedule. I go to his Stonecreek Plaza office in Irvine but he also has an office in Newport Beach.

I came here with some major back pain & stiff neck two months ago. After getting the neck X-Ray & exam done, Dr. Martin did some adjustments on me and I started feeling absolutely great & relaxed a day after. I could say I had no neck & shoulder pain for about 3 weeks. Since then I have been going there every 3 weeks for adjustment and I am loving it more every time. Thank you Dr. Martin!

Receptionist was very sweet, office is clean, and Dr. Martin is very good and attentive to my needs. Even the receptionist offered tips to help me feel better. It was a quick and much needed adjustment. I felt instant relief and would definitely recommend this place to everyone. I already scheduled my next appointment!

Dr Martin one of the best. "Miracle Hands " is how I like to refer to him. He has that natural ability to quickly pin point where exactly my neck, mid back or hips had been slightly or severely out of alignment. I go into his office when needed feeling one way and always always walk out feeling another way. Which is calm & relaxed and discomfort free. Take Good Care Dr Martin. You are much needed in offering relief to many in this crazy stressful life we all lead.
