I've been seeing Dr. Gary Martin since 2003, and he has been an integral part of my health and wellness routine for more than two decades. Whether I'm coming in for regular maintenance or because I've pushed my body a little too hard with yoga, hiking, pickleball, or everyday life, Gary always takes the time to listen, assess what's going on, and get me back on track. His adjustments are thoughtful, effective, and tailored to what my body needs. What I appreciate most is that Gary focuses on helping me stay healthy and active, not just treating symptoms when something hurts. His care has helped me maintain an active lifestyle for years, and I genuinely believe I'm moving better today because of the consistent care I've received. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, experienced chiropractor who truly cares about his patients, I can't recommend Gary highly enough. After 20+ years as a patient, he's earned my complete trust and gratitude. read more

I have to be honest with you. I've never been a big fan of chiropractors, but then I met Gary Martin. Gary is an old-school kind of guy. He treats people like friends, not just patients. I first met him years ago, and recently our paths crossed again. Not long after reconnecting, I injured myself and called Gary for some advice. He invited me into his office and took a look at my injury. After examining me, he recommended red light laser therapy. To be completely honest, I thought it sounded like a scam. I was skeptical, but I trusted Gary enough to give it a try. What impressed me most was that Gary didn't just recommend treatment. He also told me to get X-rays and see a medical doctor because he felt the injury was more serious than I thought. He was straightforward and honest about it. Sure enough, the X-rays confirmed what Gary had suspected. After speaking with my doctor and sharing the results with Gary, we continued with the red light laser treatments. I honestly can't believe how much better I feel after each visit. The thing I appreciate most about Gary is that he genuinely cares. He wasn't trying to sell me something or tell me what I wanted to hear. He gave me honest advice, pointed me in the right direction, and helped me through a difficult injury. His office is clean, his staff is friendly, and everyone there makes you feel welcome. It's rare these days to find people who treat you like family, but that's exactly how I've been treated every time I've walked through the door. If you're looking for a chiropractor who is honest, caring, and genuinely interested in helping people get better, I highly recommend Dr. Gary Martin in Irvine. Gary, thank you for everything you've done for me. I truly appreciate your advice, your honesty, and your help. read more

Dr. Martin is fantastic! He's currently treating me and my two boys (ages 14 and 17), who are both high school athletes playing baseball and football. After just our very first adjustment, both boys were genuinely surprised by how much better they felt--full range of motion in their necks and the tension in their backs was simply gone. They left feeling relieved, grateful, and excited to continue care with Doc Martin to support their athletic performance and overall well-being. As a parent, it's incredibly reassuring to see such immediate results. We highly recommend Dr. Martin to anyone, especially active kids and athletes! read more

This was my first time going to a chiropractor for my spine. I've injured it from a work accident and from a car accident. I also have arthritis. I've been having pain in my neck and back and that's why I came to see him. I'll say that it does take some time to notice a difference. For me, about 8 sessions before I was starting to notice my pain lessen. What has been bothering me in my neck has been slowly getting less noticeable. I'll continue treatment and hopefully it'll get better. He has a great personality and is easy to talk to. His staff is also on point. Always with a cheery attitude and taking care of everyone coming in. So I'd recommend to anyone looking for a reliable place with good people. read more

It's been about a week and that's unheard of. I'm so happy to be drug free. Dr Martin is very kind. I can tell he really cares about his patients. read more

Dr. Martin is fabulous! I came to him after dealing with excruciating pain in my lower back and down through my left leg. He took X rays to see what exactly was going on and explained I have many vertebrae out of place (subluxations) that were irritating nerves in my lower back (as well as in my neck/cervical area- which explains the decades of pain that I had come to accept.) Between his adjustments, the Cold Laser he has in the office and his wonderful massage therapist, Yessica, I am well on my way to healing. I'm amazed how much better I feel in such a short time! Dr. Martin really knows what he's doing and his priority is 100% total healing for his patients! His office is really nice and Paige at the front desk is the sweetest ever! I look forward to my visits! Thanks Dr. Martin! read more

I have been going to Dr. Martin for over 6 years now, I go in usually once a week. He has helped rehab through a car accident most recently and I can say I would be a lot worse off if I didn't have him as my go to chiropractor. He initially help me after a heart problem developed from stress. I also developed beginnings of scoliosis "s-curve" which through adjustments and stretches he taught me has since been minimized. The office staff is amazing, everyone cares and is great at what they do. I have recommended a few people to Dr. Martin and will continue to do so. read more

I consider myself lucky to have found Doc Martin - it can be difficult to find good chiropractors! I appreciate his method (manual diversified adjustments) and I can count on his adjustments relieving any tension in my neck and hips. If I'm in need of immediate treatment due to an injury, his office works hard to fit me in (sometimes even same day!). Doc Martin is a very positive and open minded person, and he's a big asset in keeping me happy and healthy. Highly recommended! read more

I had seen Dr. Martin for years a while ago. Life took over and mom went to the bottom of the list. While I was gone, I still got Christmas cards from Dr. Martin. So sweet! Recently, I just started going back for adjustments and a few massage appts too. I've been feeling so much better! read more

Very friendly and welcoming staff. Dr. Martin is quite personable and seems genuinely interested in helping the patient. Professional in his approach, the treatments received have, in fact, brought me some relief. I've had no problem getting appointments at my preferred times. I'm thankful that with all the offices out there, somewhat by random I ended up seeing Dr. Martin. I will be continuing with my visits. read more

Dr. Martin and his office are awesome! I have two little kids and finally came to see him when my neck pain wasn't going away on its own after 3 months. In a single adjustment, my neck pain was gone. The other issue that I didn't initially come to see him for was my knee pain and swelling from a previous meniscus injury/surgery. I happened to mention it to Dr Martin when I was there and he recommended trying their cold laser therapy. My knee pain had gotten to the point of needing to use crutches. That laser therapy is magic! If you have knee pain/swelling...try it! read more

Had a little snowmobile accident last weekend and my ribs were really sore. Had some pain meds but thought about Dr. Gary and his cold laser therapy. He saw me immediately and can I just say wow! I am already feeling better tonight! Thank you Dr. Gary Martin for always finding time to squeeze me in when life gives me a bit of a "squeeze'! read more

His office can get you in pretty quickly and it is the rare doctor's office that gets you in and out on time. And, last but not least, Paige who runs the joint is a ray of sunshine everyday. read more

I haven't had a need for a Chiropractor for years until last month after I suffered a cross-check playing ice hockey. I have since learned the whiplash caused a nerve root impingement between C6 n C7, of which Dr. Martin recognized there was something going on in that area soon after taking a cervical spine X-ray. OH, I must mention, he got me into his clinic within 2 hours of my initial contact. After 2 Days of treatment, he PROACTIVELY ordered an MRI because he is a consummate and cautious Professional. He was extremely patient, friendly and willing to "talk shop" (my formal education is Sports Medicine, N.A.T.A) about the details of my injury. Due to the sensitivity and high degree of pain resulting from my injury, it was decided I should see a Cervical Spine Orthopedic Specialist! I was again impressed with Dr. Martin's "what's best for the patient" approach. This was further underscored by him keeping in touch, yes, he reached out to me over the weekend to see how I was doing, as he truly wanted me to recover. We've since then communicated frequently and developed a mutual repoire worth mentioning, I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Martin, he is a GOOD ONE!!! Thank you so much Sensei(-: read more

I haven't found the right chiropractor for me since I left the Bay Area 6 years ago. I had an awesome chiropractor for 18 years so I definitely was looking for the right fit. My husband went to see Dr. Martin for a sciatica issue and recommended that I go see him for my plantar fasciitis pain. After getting checked out, even I could tell why I was so off balanced. I appreciate his approach to treatment and felt safe in his hands to adjust my neck. I had a previous chiropractor in the area and I felt it was a huge "no". Additionally, aside from the adjustments, he included laser and massage therapy treatments. I wish I could take the laser home! The first time used, I was shocked that the pain in my heel was greatly reduced. I've had this issue since the beginning of summer and anyone who's ever had this knows it's incredibly debilitating to every aspect of your life. So far, I've had three treatments and my mobility has improved. Previously, I felt like there was no vision of healing. Now, I feel like there's an actual ending point. Also, if you're a person who wants quality massages, look no further than to this office. Wow, wow, wow! Lisa is her name and no other massages will feel the same. I. Was. Impressed. She knew where the discomfort and tension was. She was ruthless with my body as I writhed and screamed! But wow, talk about breaking up those knots--two words: simply amazing. If you're blessed to have massage therapy as part of your treatment, yay! If not, ask for it anyways! Lastly, the front office! Paige is very friendly and has an effervescent personality. It's so nice especially when you're not feeling 100%. Really love her cheerful disposition! Like I said earlier, I had the same chiropractor for 18 years. Either it works or it doesn't and you pretty much know it right away. Thus to me, it's 5 stars! I feel like I finally found my new chiropractor. read more

First, Dr Martin's adjustments for my my neck and back are always a comfort and relief from any pain, stiffness or discomfort. But most recently and amazingly, he used the cold laser treatment on my forearm and elbow which has been a real blessing in eliminating the tendinitis pain which I had been experiencing for months. My only regret was in not seeking this laser treatment sooner as he had previously recommended, because I was pain free within the first six sessions he had planned for me. PTL! In short, Dr Martin has been a wonderful chiropractic caregiver for both my wife and I for many, many years. I have and will continue to highly recommend his services. The office staff is also so friendly and helpful. Plus, it's rarely an issue scheduling an appointment to see him. The staff gets you right into the office to get the care you need right when you need it most. Thank you, as always, Dr Martin and Staff! read more

I have been going for adjustments to Dr. Martin's office for nearly eight years now. My lower back tends to get achy but after his adjustments, I always walk out of his office feeling light as a feather. I recently injured myself after excessive stair climbing and could barely move. Dr. Martin tailored the adjustments to my issues and I healed immediately. He knows back pain and hip pain like no other, a true magician. When I walk into his office, I am greeted with an awesome and they are so accommodating to my busy schedule. The office has a room of machine massage tables so I like to lay on the table to get an automated massage prior to the treatments. I am always as good as new when I go to Dr. Martin! read more

I have had a very bad neck pain for a long time. Dr Martin is the fourth Chiropractor I have gone to but he is amazingly different than others! He not only does a great job when he does adjustments but also you understand that he cares about you. I was always wondering why none of the previous doctors asked me what I do when I go out of their office. Maybe I was doing something that was hurting my neck but none of them did! Dr Martin asked me to bring the pillow I sleep on at night to make sure that wasn't source of my problem. He carefully checked my work positions to make sure I am sitting and standing ergonomically. I have been going to his office for two weeks and already I am feeling much better. I am so grateful of what he has done for me and I strongly recommend him if anyone has neck or back problems. read more

I cannot express how pleased I am with the care and most importantly the success of working with Dr. Martin. I have had my issue completely resolved and no longer have excruciating pain. I had a lower back pain that built up and became very extreme (immediately before I was to take a 3 week vacation out of country). Dr. Martin got me aligned in a week sufficiently to proceed with the vacation! I had very little pain on the trip and he and the team have made me whole again. I can't thank them enough! read more

I have excessive pain in my neck and lower back. This was affecting my ability to function in my daily activities. I'm a contractor and it was difficult just getting in and out of my truck. The laser therapy and adjustments have eased much of the pain and I'm feeling much better. He is super professional and good at explaining your condition and the plan to get it fixed. His office was clean, organized and the staff made me feel at home. I had an overall awesome experience. Darren Wells DK Painting OC, Inc read more

Stopped by this morning and realized our family has been getting adjustments from Dr. Martin for at least 13 years! Wow. He has watched our family expand and grow. All of our children are now regularly adjusted here... it is an important part of our family's overall health. read more

Let me start by saying I LOVE Dr. Martin!!!! I've been going to him for weekly neck/back adjustments for almost 5 years now. He treats my dad, 2 brothers, and my husband (so practically my whole family). I recently broke my foot, and he has been treating me with cold laser therapy, it already feels better. Gary is an excellent and very knowledgeable Doctor who really cares about my and my family's well-being. read more

I first went to see Dr. Martin in October 2023. I had extreme pain in my left hip and lower back. He was able to relieve the pain by adjustments and laser therapy. After two months, I was pretty much pain-free. I continue to see Dr. Martin once a month to keep everything in line. His office staff is extremely helpful and his availability to see patients is exceptional I highly recommend him if you are having any type of back pain. read more

Dr. Martin is a great chiropractor who listens to his patients and does his utmost to heal back and neck pain. I injured my lower back in January. I had trouble walking and straightening my back. I also had trouble sitting comfortably. I have a high pain tolerance and I would rate the initial pain level at seven or eight. After being treated by Dr. Martin with laser therapy and adjustments, I can now say that my pain is down to a one and sometimes even zero. I also attribute this healing to the exercises he gave me. Doing them regularly has also helped tremendously. Thank you, Dr. Martin! read more

Dr. martin is amazing ! For 6 months my back pain became progressively worse and affected my work performance, prevented me from working out, and basic daily tasks were difficult to carry out due to the pain. Within a matter of weeks, Dr, Martin has gotten me to the point where I'm back in the gym and can get through my day without pain. He gives detailed instruction for at home care in between visits and the staff have always been extremely kind and easy to work with. Never have to wait when I have an appointment either. Highly recommend !! read more

I always come back to Dr. Martin whenever i'm experiencing any ache or pain. The adjustment alone provides a lot of relief from stubborn ailments, but Dr. Martin also has extensive knowledge for stretches, workouts, and other lifestyle changes that were able to help get rid of my pain completely. The front desk staff is also always very inviting and helpful in planing future appointments. read more

Office experience was great. Dr Martin was very good at getting me through a very painful pinched nerve. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a chiropractor. read more

I've had back trouble on and off for decades, but it's always gotten better by itself. This time it didn't, so I went to see Dr. Martin. When I walked in I was unable to stand upright and was in significant discomfort. A week later I was almost completely back to my old self; running, backpacking, speedskating, and enjoying life. I can't recommend him highly enough - and a special shout-out to Paige in the front office, who is always friendly, helpful, and professional. read more

I had been suffering with upper back, shoulder and neck pain for over 10 years. I had seen doctors and physical therapists and had regular massages to get to the point of functioning again but I was never able to get even close to "normal". I had limited range of motion in my neck and wasn't even able to turn my head far enough to check my blind spot when driving. The fear of moving wrong and making anything worse was always with me. When I recently woke up one morning in agonizing pain barely able to get off my bed I was desperate to find someone to help me. I spent all day on the phone trying to find an appointment somewhere local. I stumbled across Dr. Martin's number that afternoon and crossed my fingers and called. I spoke to Dr. Martin personally on the phone. He listened patiently and said they would get me in to see him right away. I was able to get an appointment for first thing the next morning. The staff in his office couldn't be more friendly and accommodating and will do whatever they can to make sure you get the help you need as soon as possible. On my first visit I was so scared to let Dr. Martin adjust my back and neck. The fear of anything becoming worse was overwhelming. Dr. Martin talked me through all of it and put me at ease. He answered all of my questions and gave me his full attention. I never once felt rushed and I knew after one meeting with him that he truly cared about helping me. After just one adjustment I had increased range of motion in my neck! There was light at the end of the tunnel... I have been seeing Dr. Martin regularly for about 6 months or more now and I can tell you that I never imagined I could feel this good again. I am no longer in constant pain. I am no longer in constant fear of "moving wrong". I'm not afraid it will hurt my neck if people hug me now and I have full range of motion in my neck again which I never thought I would have for the rest of my life. I see Dr. Martin on a regular basis and have regular massages with one of the on site massage therapists there as well. When Dr. Martin told me a few months back that things would get better and better I was hopeful but now I have experienced it for myself and I am so grateful! I'm still a work in progress but I'm so happy with where I'm at right now. I tell people all the time that Dr. Martin changed my life! read more
