I've always been a little nervous about seeing a chiropractor, but Dr. Ted Marriott completely changed that for me. During my twin pregnancy - and especially postpartum - I could barely walk. The pain and discomfort were constant, and I didn't know how I'd be able to care for my twins. Dr. Ted is an absolute expert in the Activator Method and shockwave therapy, and his treatments brought me incredible relief. His gentle, precise approach made every visit comfortable and effective. I love that his routine appointments are only 15 minutes long, so I can quickly get adjusted and get back to my babies - feeling stronger and more aligned each time. Thanks to Dr. Ted, I can finally move freely again and enjoy motherhood without pain. He's a healer, and I'm endlessly grateful for his care. I'll be sending many referrals his way because he's truly the best. read more

I absolutely recommend Dr. Marriott to anyone who requires a chiropractor. His ability to correct back problems and eliminate pain is incredible! Whe he recognized that I had a problem with my adrenaline glands from just touching areas on my neck and back I was amazed! He truly is a gift from The Lord! read more

This is by far the best Chiropractor you could ever hope for. Specializing in the activator method, his care is gentle yet effective. Dr Ted also helps with muscular release, cold laser and trigenics to alleviate symptoms. He will find what's out of whack and he will fix it. The peaceful office with Mountain View's doesn't hurt either! read more

Ted is Magnificent. I've gone to him for about 16 yrs. He has successfully re-aligned my spine, whether it was a mild subluxation or I've hobbled in there feeling temporarily handicapped. As many of you know subluxations can be quite painful, annoying and just disruptive to our lives. As others have mentioned, leaving his office is always such a relief. He's great at educating his patients about prevention as well. He is professional, has a cheerful countenance and has been very accommodating over the years when I had an urgent need for an adjustment. I even fractured my T5 (brought him my x-rays) years ago and he took great care to handle my adjustments with care (usually in the lumbar or sacrum area). He is very intelligent and medically knowledgable and I would and have recommended him to anyone and everyone. Thank you Ted for your many years of service! read more

i'm giving this review because I want people to feel better, and this guy knows how to help you get that feeling. I've been singing Dr. Ted Marriotts praises for months now. No more headaches! quick adjustments and affordable. I trust this guy and I don't trust many physical practitioners. I'm grateful. read more

I have seen Dr. Marriot in the past when my chiropractor was on vacation and after they retired last year, I've been coming to him on a regular basis, especially after I put my back out last September. I have great confidence in his skill and knowledge. He works well with clients/patients to keep them/me in homeostasis. I have done so much better with the regimen I am on and appreciate his suggestions. Thank you. read more

Dr. Marriot is an excellent chiropractor. He has helped resolve a lot of the pain and discomfort I have experienced over the years from chronic conditions and acute injuries. I highly recommend Dr. Marriot. read more

I have never been to a chiropractor before I went to see Dr. Ted a few weeks ago on the recommendation of my daughter. I had hip pain (I had to use a cane) and an achy shoulder. His activator method released tight muscles and tissues in my hip, and I don't need my cane. He manipulated my shoulder that has ached for a very long time. I am amazed at the improvement! And all this in just a few visits! I am glad that he explains what he is doing and why as he works. And I appreciate that he aims to help patients get better so they don't have to keep coming in! I enthusiastically recommend Dr. Ted Marriott! Carolyn read more

Dr. Ted is the absolute best! I hurt my back during an exercise class. I was left in excruciating pain and couldn't even bend over. I went online to book an appointment and asked to be seen asap. Dr. Ted called me that day and moved things around to get me in the very next day! Dr. Ted uses the Activator adjustment method which is a tool that is fast, gentle, and super effective. Not the traditional twisting and cracking method. I also have some musculoskeletal issues and he uses Trigenics to treat that. I felt immediate relief! Dr. Ted is super knowledgeable with a calm, pleasant demeanor. He truly cares about my health and well being! I am a server and very active and will continue to see him for maintenance! read more

Dr Ted is great. I always feel so much better once I leave his office. He is professional and prompt in response and always manages to get me in when I hurt my back! read more

I'm an aging functional fitness trainer who has been known to over do it just a time or two, I developed a serious aversion to "bone cracking" chiros after too many bad experiences. So I really appreciate that Dr. Ted can use his activator to give precise adjustments without any of the physical trauma that comes with forced joint manipulation. Layer in his expertise with trigenics and the results can be quite remarkable. I was introduced to Dr. Ted about 5-6 years ago, and have ever since been relying on his consistent ability to sort me out when something goes awry in my biomechanics. Over the years he's corrected issues with my back, knees, hips, ankles, shoulders, elbow, wrist and thumb. (ok, I overdo it a lot) Dr. Ted is also the only chiropractor that I refer my clients to. I'm very careful about referring clients to any body care specialist but Dr. Ted has proven his worth repeatedly. He always treats them well and is rigorously honest about the benefits of treatment plans, even when the problem is not within his ability to correct and no treatment is called for. Remember, there are NO quick fixes and he's not a miracle worker. Trust his judgement and give him enough time to create the physical changes needed for healing. I use this advice on myself and it has served me quite well. read more

Dr. Ted Marriott is that rare chiropractor who can accurately locate the source of the problem you are having and help, predictably and effectively. He looks beyond the obvious and finds and addresses what's really going on. He expertly uses the "Activator Method". Many chiropractors use an "activator" tool, but are not trained in the method. That is a huge difference. Dr. Marriott is highly trained in the "Activator Method", which is a very precise, specific method of locating and addressing points in the body in need of correction, and then using the painless, non-bone crunching activator to correct. I highly recommend him. read more

I had a self inflicting injury from cycling on my trainer which radiated from my quad down my leg. After treatments of Trigenics and Rapid release technology Dr. Marriott has me back to normal. Dr. Marriotts knowledge in treating an aliment is never ending and Dr. Marriott will do whatever it takes to solve and heal you from Trigenics to rapid release technology and stretching. Thank you Dr. Marriott. Michael Gutierrez read more

After an auto accident in August I was referred to Dr. Ted. He uses a very gentle technique using the activator method. After a thorough examination I began to see him every week and in a short period of time had positive results. Dr. Ted is knowledgeable, and he helped me with proper sleeping and sitting, and now we are moving into stretches so I can maintain my results. Every visit has been positive and now that most of the trauma is behind me, I look forward to each visit knowing that I can improve even more. I highly recommend Dr. Ted Marriot if you are looking for an experienced Chiropractor with a gentle touch. read more

Multiple Sclerosis patients listen up! My daughter has had MS for 16 years and she takes many medications on a daily basis. We started seeing Dr Ted about a month ago and from the first visit it's as if he preformed a miracle. Her pain that is a constant in her upper and lower back area has been reduced to zero and she no longer has to fill her body with pain medication to sleep at night. As a parent we will always try and move mountains to help our children. Meeting Dr Ted was a blessing because anytime my daughter has a happy day in her life means it's one more day happy in my life. read more

Dr. Marriott is very knowledgable and fair. I will start treatments with him and hoping for great results. read more

Dr. Marriott has a holistic approach: he listens to me and my body; he finds and treats the underlying cause of my issues (not just my acute symptoms); he works on stretching, strengthening and healing muscles (in addition to gentle and effective adjustments), and he sends me home with much needed advice about self-care (stretches, massage, and even changes to my sleep position). My issues are decades old so my work with Dr. Marriott is ongoing, but in the five months I've been seeing him I have experienced significant improvement (more mobility and less migraines!) and gained anatomical insight into how pain is triggered in my body. It's a relief to receive this kind of care. read more

I went to Ted Marriott for Chiropractic care for a shoulder injury that I had neglected for a few months. I thought it would get better on it's own, but it actually got worse over time. I was worried I'd ruined my shoulder by not getting it looked at right away. I had seen Ted previously for low back pain that had been chronic for several years. I knew he had several methods that aren't the jarring type of adjustments usually associated with chiropractic.... And I reached a point where the low back issue that had gone on so long was finally solved. I felt hopeful that he could help with my shoulder pain as well. To promote healing of my shoulder issue he did a combination of Trigenics manipulation of the muscles, rapid release to release the scar tissue that had formed, and gave me a protocol of stretches to do at home on a daily basis. He also suggested changing my sleeping position, how I hold my camera, and changing other everyday movements that added up to giving the shoulder a chance to heal and not get reinjured. I loved that there were no jarring adjustments at all. It was a customized solution that worked to provide relief right away and total healing over the treatment period. The healing plan engaged me into the process with the at home daily work to do. And I ended up with better mobility in that shoulder than I had leading up to the injury. Ted is not the doctor that wants to keep you ill or injured in order to keep you coming back. Robin Foley read more

Only reason your writing all of this is because you went through ALL of my hospital records that were given to you without my consent. I could write everything you did as well if I had my medical records too! All of the information you acquired Dr Marriott was AFTER the fact. After posting Dr Marriott has repeatedly messaged me about this review. I as I said that's what yelp is for letting people know how you feel. He continues to harass me. It's awful. I post my opinion and he just can't leave me alone. Dr Marriott can't seem to understand that I did follow directions. I would never go back to him because 24 hours later I was in the hospital in major pain for 6 days. Not only that I only to this Chiro twice. He had been instant messaging me plus emails. I have had to block him from everything, telling me its nonsense? Blocked from all Social Media he even attempted to sue me after my First Yelp Review. 75,000 hospital bill, thanks to my visit with him, Would you go back to the same Chiropractor after ending up in the hospital after your visit? read more

Went to Dr Marriott on a recommendation. Hurt my back really badly from too many sessions at the gym and I needed help. I had already done acupuncture and didn't feel like it made much difference so I went to Dr. Marriott almost as a last resort. I gave him my insurance information and all I had to pay was 20 dollars as my co-pay. Not bad right? Did a couple mo's every Saturday; he uses an activator method so it's almost like a little shock that runs through your body. There was little to no 'cracking' involved. I noticed my back would get better little by little. Dr. Marriott was always very nice, he would tell me what was wrong, ways I needed to change my lifestyle if I wanted to get better. After a couple mo's I wondered if this back problem of mine was ever going to go away though, didn't really feel like I was improving 100% just 80% and he always recommended I come back. Then...before a Saturday appointment I get a call from his office letting me know that there's a problem with my insurance and that I wasn't covered for the whole treatment. 3 months later, I get slapped with a bill. You couldn't have thought to tell me that my insurance wasn't covered in the beginning? Then why'd you tell me to keep coming back? I felt that was really shady on his part to keep recommending treatments when he knew that I would have to pay out of pocket. Put a sour taste in my mouth. Recommend Dr. Marriott, but check with your insurance company and ask questions before you make an appointment! read more

I'm really grateful that I found Dr. Ted! The activator method helped to provide some immediate relief, while he showed me how to maximize some of my stretches. By using ice, heat, and changing my form, he showed me sustainable methods I could use to provide immediate relief during day-to-day discomfort, as well as make long-term improvements. I was always a bit nervous to see a chiropractor, but now I'm so relieved that I have the right one! read more

If I could upload the picture of me carrying my 2 years old daughter on my back while hiking in the Yosemite, it would have speared all the good things I have to say about Dr. Marriott. Needless to say I couldn't have dreamed about it half a year before I met him for the first time. I totally agree with all the good thinks other wrote about him here so I won't repeat it all. The only point I would like to emphasize is that beyond the great treatment that Dr Marriott gave me, he thought me how to treat myself and how to prevent further back pains. So now, I don't have chronic back pains any more and I don't have to be treated on a regular basis. Bottom line, don't hesitate to choose him over all the others. Eran read more

One of the best chiropractors you will find in your life. I've seen several chiropractors across 15+ years, and I have several requirements I look for when vetting chiropractors: 1) a holistic approach that considers both short-term and long-term issues (sleep, ergonomics, physical habits, etc.), 2) expertise in human physiology (muscular) in addition to chiropractic expertise, and 3) primary care via the Activator method. Dr Ted's earns a solid 5/5 stars in all 3 areas. My last visit was a great example: I was having headaches and stiff neck muscles from a minor misalignment, but also had sharp pain in my shoulder lasting 6+ weeks from falling asleep in a terrible position. Dr Ted resolved the neck in minutes, and spent the rest of the time understanding what happened to my shoulder. He isolated the muscle with a few tests and released the tension via Trigenics. Dr Ted then pulled out a textbook, flipped it to the exact page in seconds, and taught me which muscle was at issue (anterior deltoid), where it connected on each side, and some stretches I should do at home to recover quickly. It's the next day, and my shoulder pain is 80%+ gone, so I had to write a review. Recently moved to California and had to find a new chiropractor. Dr Ted office is a bit of a drive, but well worth it for the quality of care. One point I mentioned, but can't emphasize enough: even if Dr Ted's office is too far of a drive, only go to chiropractors trained in the Activator method. Other approaches can do more harm than good (speaking from first hand experience). The Activator method is the safest, is backed by the most research, and is a large reason why chiropractic care is now recognized for its effectiveness by some health insurance providers. Overall, if Dr Ted's office is a reasonable drive for you, definitely make the trip. Can't recommend him highly enough. read more

Many people know that chiropractic involves adjusting and restoring nerve health. But, sometimes vigorous adjustments can do some harm, as in, some doctors just don't quite know how to adjust their strength. This sometimes gives chiropractors a bad rep as spine crackers. Dr Ted is not one of those chiropractors. He is detail oriented and precise, but yet very gentle and caring. You can be sure you are at the right doc because you can also tell that he cares about you. All in all, highly recommended for your spine health! read more

I just love Dr. Ted. He is always there when I need him and he really cares about his patients. His goal is always to cure your pain. That is what anyone looks for in a chiropractor. He is not a "crack and pop" doctor, if that is what you are looking for. He also has state-of-the-art equipment and is on the cutting edge of what is new. Dr. Ted educates you on what is going on with you, which I think is amazing. On top of all of this, he is really sweet and nice. read more

Ted Marriot is an absolute essential for my wellness regime. I am a happy hairstylista in Arcadia . And thanks to Dr. Ted Marriot I can continue to do what I love doing. But working all day with your hands up in front of you can be hard on my back. He adjusts me without a crack. Activator method is awesome. My family gets our orthotics through him as well. He has a great manor about him. Love his sincere energy! Thank you Dana Castaneda read more

I've stayed with Dr. Ted over the years and as I get older, he brings me back to super functionality. We are lucky to have him as a specialist in the activator method. He goes above and beyond standard chiropractic methods. And he is the most caring, interested person -- a real treasure. read more

I've been dr. To dr. Ever since last year did lots of tests no dr. Told me that I need adjusting in my back I was feeling miserable I was in so much pain. I couldn't walk more then 3 minutes nor stand up to wash a one single dish, so I figured maybe a chiropractor can help me, I went to dr. Ted Marriott, my pain has been way less from only 1 first session, I was in shock that I can go to a store and walk , I can walk faster, my throbbing pain is gone in my lower back.I can stretch I can move alot More. He is just an amazing chiropractor im just speechless I can't wait for my next sessions so I can feel better and better, thank you dr. Marriott read more

When I first joined our BNI chapter, Dr Ted talked about neck pain--a very specific type--and I thought, "he's describing exactly what I am experiencing!" So I decided to make an appointment. Dr. Ted uses the "Activator" method which you can google to learn more about (better to let the experts explain this.) Not all chiropractors use this method and it has been a helpful part of the treatment I've received. Without a doubt, the care I've received has alleviated the discomfort I was having and has increased the range of motion in my neck. It's truly a relief that I no longer have a "pain in my neck.!" Thank you, Dr. Ted, for improving the quality of my day. I highly recommend Dr. Ted Marriott. read more

For over ten years, I suffered from extreme back pain. I took the highest daily dosages of Tylenol, Ibuprophen, and a narcotic pain reliever Norco. There were many days when I could not walk fifty feet because of the intense pain. This started to affect my job in traffic management at the City of San Jose. When the pain got unbearable, even with all the pills I was taking, the pain doctors would schedule me for an epidural injection of steroids into my lower spine, which would reduce my pain. After we moved to Los Angeles, my new pain doctors here continued this practice and had scheduled me for another epidural in four weeks. Fortunately, my neighbor recommended that I see her chiropractor, Dr. Ted Marriott. Immediately, I could see the positive results as my back pain was 30 % relieved after each visit. I took less and less of the pain relievers/narcotics. Within a month, I was off all pain medications and I cancelled my scheduled spinal injection because I didn't have any more back pain! I continue to see Dr. Marriott and I couldn't be more pleased with the great results. For the first time in a decade, my back pain is gone! I would highly recommend Dr. Ted Marriott to anyone who suffers from chronic back pain or similar symptoms. He is very knowledgeable, caring, professional and highly effective. read more

I've been to many chiropractors over the years but Dr. Ted is far above the others. He uses an advanced, activator technique, which allows him to specifically target problem areas without "cracking" neck or spine. His treatments are safe, gentle and extremely effective. He is a master at restoring proper alignments and over-all well being! This is a great way to stay healthy! read more

Got pain? See Dr. Ted! I've got orthoarthritis of the lower back. When I first saw Dr. Ted, my back pain was a 9; I could barely get out of bed. After 6 mos of treatment, the pain was down to about a level 3. He was also knowledgeable enough to see other issues with my health which have since been addressed & remedied. No hype. In a field that hasn't gotten it's due repect, Ted Marriott has mine. Ruth Osborne read more

I am so grateful I was led to Dr. Marriott. After suffering wrist pain for over 3 months and being misdiagnosed by 2 M.D.s, I finally feel some relief. I was diagnosed with nerve damage but instead of getting better, my pain was increasing daily. I kept getting an inner guidance that there was a slight dislocation. I recall a friend of mine raving about Dr. Marriott so I called for an appointment and braced myself for a painful visit of having an adjustment. He diagnosed pretty much what my inner voice indicated and gave me a very gentle series of adjustments that gave me some immediate relief. But more than that was an overall feeling that I was finally going heal. I'm very optimistic and I know I'm in good hands - literally. I appreciate the diagnostic and treatment techniques used and the caring attitude of Dr. Marriott. read more

I've now been a patient of Dr. Ted for about 5 years and I'm going to say it simply: I think chiropractors are a dime a dozen but finding a good one isn't easy. The two great ones I've found in my life both had sports backgrounds and Dr. Ted is one of them. I think when someone was an athlete in college or semi-professional they instinctively know what the body does and what it needs to thrive. Add on the training and studying to become a DC and you've got a great combination. I like his use of the activator method (no cracking pain) and trigenics (push-pull stretches). Most importantly Dr. Ted has given me tips on how to not come back! When I run is my gait off, am I stretching enough, lifting weights incorrectly or just picking up my kids the wrong way. He's helped me address how to do things correctly and avoid injury. read more

Dr. Ted is wonderful. His ability to pinpoint a problem and figure out how to correct it is amazing. I have had three debilitating joint injuries - shoulder, knee and ankle. He has helped me recover from all of them. My HMO said I was suffering from arthritis and gave me a prescription for an anti-inflamatory. I highly recommend him to anyone. His cost is very reasonable and he is there when you need him. read more

After my chiropractor retired, had to go looking for a new one. I searched through the official Activator website in order to find a highly trained doctor in this discipline and came across Dr. Ted amongst the various chiropractors listed. However, he combines Activator with Trigenics and the result is enormously helpful when you're having problems. One of my favorite things is to follow an adjustment from him with 30-45 minutes on his warm Ceragem massage table. Super relaxing, wonderful way to stretch out the spine, and sometimes it almost puts me to sleep --- only my own snoring stops that :) Dr. Ted is fabulous and just a lovely person, and he has certainly helped me and my husband out. He also has a lot of character. Recently I took some Ibuprofen for a headache and then called for an appointment because I knew I was out of adjustment; he explained that taking pain killers before an adjustment can impact the body's ability to respond and, if he found that to be the case, then he wouldn't charge me for the office visit. Now imagine that ... it's my fault, but he wasn't going to charge me, and I knew he'd come into the office especially just to treat me. Amazing. read more

Ted has been my chiropractor for about 10 years. I actually drive from LA to Pasadena to see him because I trust him so implicitly. He is constantly researching new techniques and ways to alleviate pain. I've honestly dubbed him "St. Ted". I will admit that I was very skeptical about the Activator technique (I always liked the traditional noisy neck cracking chiropractics), but I have found that the effect of the treatments is greater and lasts longer than with traditional adjustments. I've sent a few people to see him and they all agree with me. Plus, Dr. Marriott is very personable. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Ted Marriott. I was never a believer in Chiropractic services, but when my back pain was at it's worst, I decided to try Dr. Ted's Activator Method, and it really works! My pain was gone! Dr. Ted is so friendly and professional, and really knows what he is doing. I recommend Dr. Ted without any hesitation. read more

Dr. Marriott is the absolute best physician of any kind that I have ever had the pleasure of being in contact with. I had severe lower back issues and Dr. Marriott's treatments left me feeling 100%, making a full recovery from bulging discs in my lower back. I am happy to report that the only thing I experience on a day to day basis is some muscle stiffness in my lower back and I practice jiu-jitsu 5 days a week! This is after a year away from visiting Dr. Ted's office because I moved out of the area. If you need chiropractic care I can't imagine having a better doctor then Dr. Marriott. read more

Dr. Ted is the best! I've been seeing him now for about 6 weeks after taking a fall and injuring my back. The activator method is so gentle but effective. And Dr. Ted has taught me the correct stretches to ease the muscle spasms. I went from barely being able to sit and stand to finally feeling normal again. I would highly recommend Dr. Ted. He truly cares about his patients. read more
