Dr Goldi was the missing piece to my prenatal care. With my first pregnancy I suffered through sciatica and all the aches & pains. This time around for my second pregnancy the sciatica hit early in my first trimester and I knew I couldn't suffer through this again, especially having a toddler to keep up with. LET ME TELL YOU seeing Dr Goldi is the best thing I ever did. After two visits my sciatica never came back. I'm almost 40 weeks now, have been seeing her this entire time and I feel so good. It's night and day from my first pregnancy. I was really nervous to get chiropractic work done while pregnant but Goldi was so kind and understanding. She made me feel incredibly safe and supported. Honestly don't know what I would have done without her. If you're pregnant and thinking about seeing a chiropractor, do yourself a favor and go see Dr Goldi!!! TRUST. I cannot recommend her enough. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Goldi. I'm a few months postpartum and have been dealing with some constant low back/sciatic pain (back labor and baby-wearing is no joke). After just two appointments at Golden Chiropractic, my discomfort and mobility are greatly improved. Dr. Goldi took the time to truly get to know me and my symptoms. I appreciate the depth of knowledge that she has, and that she used the activator method/a gentle approach while pinpointing the adjustments. The office is also a very welcoming and clean environment. I'll definitely be scheduling additional appointments as needed. read more

At 9:00 am Made an appt on-line for an 11:00am massage as it showed availability at that time. Guaranteed the appt with a credit card. Showed up at 10:50am, waited until 11:20 - no one showed up, place was locked up. If you're going to show available appts on your website, you should honor them. read more

Goldi's energy is amazing. I went in seeking immediate relief for my back and left feeling better than when I walked in. I've seen her twice and have a 3rd appointment booked and have a feeling I will be incorporating regular visits/adjustments into my wellness routine. read more

I recently sprained my wrist and needed to make a last min appointment with Dr. Joe. I've never had a wrist injury, nor received chiropractic care on an acute injury before. Dr. Joe took amazing care of me. He did some instrument assisted soft tissue massage, along with pin and stretch on the wrist musculature. Dr. Joe is very creative and fun in his work; I can tell he enjoys it , which makes it a pleasure to be his patient. His kind nature is soothing; it helped me to feel at ease and be open with him regarding any pain or discomfort during my treatment, both physically and emotionally. The body workers at this clinic all consistently amaze me. Dr. Goldi sure picks good ones read more

So grateful to add Dr. Goldi to my treatment team. Over the past week or so I had been experiencing a lot of pain on the right side of my body. My hip was particularly troublesome, and I needed my cane and walker (normal reserved for outings) in our home to move around the short distance from room to room. Unsure if it was related to med changes, new symptoms, or increased resting/less movement, but I needed relief. Dr. Goldi is a true expert and brought all her knowledge to provide gentle, restorative treatment for my autoimmune inflammation, which differs from osteoarthritis. No forceful movements, just hands on healing. She made a few recommendations for posture, stretching, sitting, and sleeping that were brilliant in their simplicity and immediately helpful. I've seen her twice this week. After my first visit, the noticeable improvement was reflected in my heart rate data for decreased stress and increased energy and health measurements. Amazing! The next morning, my spine made the most satisfying subtle self-adjustment and release. It's especially impressive to see a difference in my treatment with her less than a handful of years ago for repetition injuries as a distance runner and park skater. If you are looking for a holistic provider who listens with compassion and offers fresh, integrative practices to align your mind, body, and spirit, go see Dr. Goldi! #invisibleillnessawareness #halfactivewithdoublerestisbest #chronicfatiguesyndrome #longcovid #lupus #narcolepsy #sjogrens read more

I recently saw Dr. Joe for a tune-up and it was such a great experience. He took the time to listen and match my energy. I didn't have much pain except for a little in my mid-back, which he adjusted perfectly. But more than that, he was able to identify areas that were stuck that I didn't even know were stuck like my feet. I left with no back pain and new feet! I 100% recommend Golden Chiropractic. read more

Expert care from experienced practitioners. Therapeutic massage as well as effective chiropractic treatment. Dr Goldi is a magician

Dr. Goldie is a very accomplished chiropractor and intuitively knows what to do when addressing your issues. I'm so happy I found her!

Chiropractic work, and massage. Dr. Goldi Jacques-Maynes worked on me twice. She did an outstanding job in manipulating my very sore back with different techniques. I felt the difference immediately. The next day I got a massage from Kyle. I don't like massages, but my knot in my back called out for a massage. This was the BEST massage I have ever had. My knot in my back was gone, my soreness went from very sore to pain almost gone. Wow. It was amazing! I highly recommend Golden Chiropractic for chiropractic work and massage! read more

I've had back issues most of my life and decided to seek some help with Dr. Joe. I was a bit hesitant as a woman, seeing a male chiropractor but decided to give him a chance due to the amazing reviews on here about the practice. I am so so happy I decided to do it - Dr. Joe is so warm, inviting, helpful, and provides such a safe environment for me as a woman. He is attentive, bubbly, and his energy is fun to be around - plus I feel so much better! I love this practice and all the help I've received from Dr. Joe so far! read more

I had my first consultation at Golden Chiropractic this morning and I can't express how much I got in return. Besides all the professionalism and expertise I expected, Dr. Goldi also had lots of other resources to offer and made me feel truly heard. When I left today, I felt like a new person. My neck hadn't been able to fully rotate to the sides for years. Now it does. She really removed SO MUCH stiffness and tension from my neck and shoulder area. I'm going back for more! I got to chat with both Dr. Goldi and Dr. Michaela when I arrived and immediately felt I was in the right place. I've always been far from "ideal" when it comes to writing reviews. I make a mental note to doing it and next thing I know it's been a year. I'm changing that today, because I found out about Golden Chiropractic via Yelp, so I'm passing forward the benefit I received from all the other reviews. Thank you! read more

Golden Chiropractic is outstanding in quality and level of care, I had an amazing healing massage with Kyle who released my shoulders and neck from their chronic tension and tightness. He is truly a healer as well as a lovely person! Cheryl J read more

First I know this is my second review. However, I always give kudos when they are due. I injured my low back a few days ago not really sure how, I am 52 not that that had anything to do with it haha. I made an appointment and went in to see Dr. Goldi, barely able to move, in extreme pain. She was able to treat me with the highest level of quality care. I felt a lot of relief later that night. Went back a few days later for another adjustment and during that day leading up to this appointment I felt like a new person!! Not only was she able to fix my issue, she was able to provide me with exercises to prevent this from occurring again. I have never been to a place that I felt truly cared for at this level and where I received just an amazing level of care. I feel amazing now and almost back to my prior self! Thank you Dr. Goldi!! I Would recommend Dr. Goldi and her team to everyone I know.. Thanks, G read more

I brought my 7 week old baby in to see Dr. Michaela Petersen due to some digestive issues as well as colic. My child had been having only one BM every 5-10 days and would scream when passing gas. Michaela was so patient and wound up treating my baby while I was holding her and she was screaming. The effects of the treatment were immediate. Starting that same day, my baby began to have regular BM's (sometimes multiple each day), started sleeping through the night and was much less fussy. Michaela is a master and I couldn't recommend her more! read more

I have just completed my fourth visit with Dr. Goldie for treatment of a Sciatica condition. This was my first visit to a Chiropractor so I do not feel competent to evaluate her chiropractic skills, but at 82 with many, many visits to doctor's offices and more than 25 years as a Human Resources executive I do feel that I can evaluate her as a person and a professional. She is simply the best. She listens with compassion and obviously cares for her patient's well- being. She readily shared her assessment of my condition and offered several suggestions on dealing with it, but perhaps most importantly she encouraged me to get an x-ray , or an MRI , to see if some physical condition was causing my Sciatica. An MRI was scheduled through my Primary Care Physician asking that the report be distributed to him and Dr. Goldi . 24 hours after the exam I received a call from Dr.Goldi suggesting that I come in to get a review of the report. I did so, and she carefully walked me through the report which seemed to indicate that a bulged disc was the likely cause of my Sciatica. As such, my treatment was beyond the scope of Dr. Goldi's office and we agreed that this would be my final visit. But it did not end there, she spent the next 15 minutes reassuring me that my condition could be treated and suggested the kinds of doctors I should be considering, even offering a few specific recommendations. Before parting she gave me a heart- felt hug and reassured me that everything would be OK. From her greeting on my first visit to the empathetic hug on my last, Dr.Goldie proved herself to be a smart, kind, and compassionate professional, and I would highly recommend her and her firm. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Goldi for several years (I've had back problems since a childhood injury) and she's so great at getting me back on track. It's wonderful how knowledgeable & considerate she is of my issues and how she's willing to research any questions or new issues I have. I especially took to her adjustments when I was pregnant and saw her once a week during my later months, the alleviation of my pregnancy back pains meant the world to me and I will always be grateful for that comfort she provided! I also see her for migraine pain management which is super helpful. And now my 3 yr old son loves going with me to the chiropractor and he gets adjustments too! read more

Michaela is amazing!! She knew exactly what was going on with my back in two separate occasions. She explained what my problem was very simple and provided great education on home care. She was also very conscious to the fact that when my problem was no longer alignment related she gave me honest direction on where else to seek care. Cannot recommend this business enough. read more

Goldie is a godsend! I am a competitive half marathon runner and had come down with what seemed to be an impossible case of plantar fasciitis. I had a minor tear in my plantar tendon right at my heel and significant scar tissue had developed in such a way that it literally felt like I had a constant rock in my shoe just in front of my heel. I had gone to the doctor who prescribed rest for 3 months, nothing changed. The doctor then suggested wearing a boot for 3 months and again, nothing changed. I was discouraged to say the least. Enter Goldie. She first recommended that I begin using a cold laser to help with blood circulation to the area to activate natural healing. She showed me how to use it and within a few weeks I was noticing a decrease in the chronic pain I had been experiencing. Next she recommended that I try out the Graston technique to help break up scar tissue and promote circulation. This involved Goldie using dedicated metal tools to scrape/massage my foot and calf. It definitely hurt, however, after about 8 weeks, I was back running again. Months later, I'm back up to running 10 mile long runs and I have no lingering pain whatsoever in my plantar tendon! I am so grateful for Goldie's help and her passion for seeing patients achieve wholeness in their health and wellness is such a blessing. I always enjoy catching up with her during my visits and she is so inspiring as she shares her passion for her work, family, community and adventures. I highly recommend her! read more

Today I received my very first adjustment from a chiropractor. I came to Dr. Goldi because I know her to be a person of integrity and I felt safe with her being the licensed professional to ease my discomfort. After a thorough consultation she discussed possible reasons why I was experiencing this pain and what she recommended to resolve it. She performed 4 adjustments on my neck, upper and lower spine, and I felt immediately relief! Quite amazing! I can actually breath better as a result. I have booked my next session and am eagerly looking forward to it! Thanks Goldi! read more

When I moved to Aptos a few years ago I was pleased to discover there were several chiropractors nearby. I'm either lucky or blessed that the first one I tried was Golden Chiropractic.

Goldi is truly a gem and and worthy of your consideration. read more

Dr Goldie has worked wonders with my back. I have had on-going issues with my upper back for almost 10 years. In the past, I would see a physical therapist about 2-3 times a year, for extensive therapy which lasted several weeks. But the pain kept coming back. Finally, almost two years ago my PT recommended that I see a chiropractor but ONLY Dr Goldie. Generally he would not refer a patient for chiropractic therapy. I am very happy to say Dr Goldie has helped me tremendously. Seldom am I in pain, I have many pain free days. I am able to recognize when I need an adjustment, because now my body knows what it feels like not to be in a constant state of pain. Also, the support staff are fabulous - always friendly, helpful and accommodating! read more

As soon as I have a need for professional chiropractic care, I know I'll be headed straight to Michaela at Golden Chiropractic!

I have been a patient of Dr. Goldi's for years. She always helps keep my body moving and feeling good. Today, I had a massage with Darlene right before my adjustment and it was amazing. Darlene asked what I was experiencing and really took care to spend some extra time on my back and shoulders but still giving a full body massage experience. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing her again and I highly recommend a massage right before an adjustment. It was like a full body transformation. read more

Dr Goldi was a savior! I have had many months of hip/hamstring pain and had been to several chiropractors with anemic success. I felt the issue was really structural and if someone could just unlock the Rubik's cube, my pain would be gone. Dr Goldi had the magic touch!! After the first visit, my symptoms were decreased by over 50%. After the second visit, pain is GONE and my hamstring no longer feels like it's going to get ripped off my pelvis! Dr Goldi took the time to listen to my specific problem, examine me, and adjusted exactly what I needed to fix the problem!! read more

As I am an ICU RN of 45 years, I have always resisted chiropractic care as a rule. When I developed what I thought was a progressively debilitating symptom, I wanted a practitioner who would put their hands on me and fix it if possible. I found Dr. Goldi and am amazed. Within 2-3 sessions she has put my body & mind at ease. She has completely changed my mind about chiropractic care. She is knowledgeable, capable and kind. I just love her. I recommend her highly. read more
