We have moved from Australia and was recommended Val for our son who is a 14 year old skateboarder. He is quite tall so we are very conscious of looking after his body as he grows. From our first visit the care and personal touch from Dr Val has been amazing. Could not recommend Dr Val enough to anyone who wants great treatment for any issues or just maintenance. read more

Dr Val is genuinely vested in the care of her patients. Her positive attitude and knowledgeable approach to each individual's needs creates an atmosphere of trust and confidence guaranteeing success. read more

I came to Dr Val 4 months ago with extremely tight traps, neck/upper back pain, weak posture, as well as a painful nodule on my index finger. She treated me for all of these issues and each one has been immensely improved if not completely resolved. I wasn't sure if she was going to be able to help me with the finger, but the nodule is almost completely gone and has no pain now thanks to the light therapy she did on it. I never knew how much chiropractic care affected our entire health and well being, but Dr Val has educated me so much. I am extremely grateful for her because not only has she resolved the issues I came to her with, but I've noticed other wonderful benefits that come from her adjustments like better energy levels, little to no headaches, regular digestion and menstruation, improved vision and less allergies/sinus congestion! The staff is the sweetest. Wonderful environment. You are always in good hands there. I would recommend Dr Val to anyone looking to improve their health! read more

Great care, attuned and professional. She walked me through the step to best meet my needs. I recommend Dr. Val Lila read more

I am thoroughly impressed with Dr. Val's conscientiousness and attention to detail. I did a complete evaluation with her and she got stubborn spots of my neck and back to release. She was able to accomplish more than one visit than other other competent practitioners who were unable to accomplish in many visits. I highly recommend anyone going to her if they are interested in any pain management or spinal health issues. read more

Simply the best! I leave feeling 150% better. Able to move and function without pain. I've learned through Dr. Val's education that starting the day with stretching is key to my success. Professional support and takes the time to educate me on how I can be the best I can be. read more

Dr Val and Staff (Darlene and Pam) are extraordinary and have given my daughter and I the best gift for the last several years! Alignment in the spine is the key to life and they know exactly how to achieve it! Highly recommend! read more

Dr Val is so thorough and provides such good education and takes time to answer questions and works on every area of concern!! most awesome chiropractor I have been too. ..... also I love how she works with pregnant women and later, their newborns!! so amazing! read more

I have been going to Dr Val for years and she has helped me manage my back pain immensely and helped me to have a pain-free and active pregnancy! My baby was breech until the 36th week and Dr Val was able to help naturally flip the baby and keep him head down. Would highly recommend her services to everyone!! read more

Dr Val is the absolute best ! One of the sweetest humans I've ever encountered. She goes above and beyond for her patients. My body hasn't ever felt so relaxed , thank you Dr Val ! read more

This is no cookie cutter chiropractor office. Dr. Val is personable, professional and thorough. From the very first visit she conducts a detailed, complete exam which she refers to every visit. She listens closely to what you and your body are communicating. Her adjustments are gentle, yet effective and the table she uses is "magical". Love this office, love this doctor. read more

Dr. Val is fabulous! She really gets to know you and your problem areas and comes up with a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Ive only been going to her for a couple of weeks and I'm already feeling relief. Her tools, equipment, and expertise make her stand out. I've been to other chiropractors and none were so knowledgeable and determined to help me feel relief. I highly recommend Dr. Val! Also, the office staff is kind and welcoming. read more

I was referred by a friend to see Dr. Val after dealing with terrible sciatica pain during my third trimester or pregnancy. I had never seen a chiropractor before but was willing try anything at that point as my doctor told me that sciatica is just something many women have to deal with during this part of pregnancy. I had been very active throughout my pregnancy and walking and working out is very important for my mental health, so when I developed sciatica it was truly detrimental to my day to day. I could barely walk and was in terrible pain. After just a few sessions, I already was starting to walk normally again and became pain free shortly after. I owe it all to Dr. Val and I'm so grateful that she has helped me throughout the remainder of my pregnancy continue to be active especially as other pains have cropped up as my body changes. She is so warm and friendly and very knowledgable about so much related to pregnancy and health and wellness beyond her chiroproactic skills. Thank you Dr. Val! I look forward to continuing to work with her even after baby is born! read more

I have been using Dr Val's service for a few years now. I am never disappointed. I started with Dr Val to solve a chronic pain in my upper back and neck. I now go regularly for a monthly checkup as stress builds up no matter what and my body needs a regular adjustment! It always feels good afterwards. read more

I've been going to Dr. Val for 2.5 years now. I go every 2 weeks to maintain and realign. I feel so good in my body. She is efficient, professional, very knowledgeable, and so sweet! My neck and back feel great with her help, and my migraines have greatly reduced in frequency and severity. I've recently become pregnant and now she is helping my body prepare for all the changes and the birthing. I couldn't ask for a better chiropractor. read more

Dr. Val is very caring. She looks at the whole body when adjusting, not just the back. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Val is absolutely amazing. It is apparent that SHE CARES and is committed to her patients and their individual wellbeing. Her approach is very holistic and she has treated me literally from head to toe. She uses a wide range of modalities to help with healing. She also has demonstrated correct ways to bend and stoop that have helped me immensely. The improvements I am feeling are supported by home exercises she has prescribed to strengthen my core and other areas that need a little extra help. In addition, the office staff is lovely, welcoming and efficient. I couldn't be in better hands. Thank you, Dr. Val. read more

Dr. Val has been helping me through a recent injury and strain for the past 2 weeks. Prior to that, I've been seeing her regularly since 2019 (when I also suffered an injury). I can't say enough about her knowledge, respect, and compassion. She listens and never pushes. She respectfully makes suggestions for movements, exercise, support and supplements when appropriate. She honors my requests when I'm in pain. My husband also goes to her for regular adjustments and care. We know that her care continues to support our wellness, energy and well-being and as seniors, we are very grateful for her care. read more

Dr. Val is thorough, warm, kind, knowledgeable- my favorite chiropractor ever! I highly recommend her.

Dr. Valerie is so awesome My job requires me to stare at a computer and sit all day long which caused major neck and shoulder discomfort every day that sometimes lead to migraine. And Just a few adjustments with Dr. Val, I could already tell the difference - I am healing!!! She showed me few stretches and exercises that I could do in between sessions. I always appreciate her suggestions and recommendations. She goes above and beyond as well; I currently have congested sinus and she is helping me with it too with some cranial massages. She accommodates me on my many requests. I am always looking forward to my chiro adjustment with her!! She is not your average chiropractor!! I would highly recommend her to anyone. read more

I am so happy that I found a good chiropractor after having moved from Colorado to California.! Dr Val is pleasant and welcoming, but, even if she hadn't been, I would have continued to see her because she's very knowledgeable regarding chiropractic and has a way of detecting where the pain is coming from and adjusting it. read more

I began seeing Dr. Val last August 2022 and it continue to be the best decision. I am happy to report that I am on maintenance, which for me is once every 3 weeks. The exercises she's given me to go along with the adjustments has allowed me to take long walks, play the sports I love and travel via car or airplane for long distances without pain. Her calm, caring approach, as she listens to "your needs" and works with and on those various areas had made me a believer in Chiropractic services...especially if you use Dr. Val. read more

Dr Val is AWESOME After going to other chiropractors and not get answers to my knee problem she was able to identify and treat my knee. Thank You for truly caring about my health and well being. She spends quality time with each of her clients. She's the BEST !!!!! Thank You read more

Dr. Val is amazing! After the second or third session I realized that my limbs were not cold anymore.

Dr. Val is highly individualized meeting chiro needs at each session and focusing on problem areas.

Got adjusted by dr Val an outstanding caring chiropractor located in Encinitas ca. looking forward to my next scheduled visit.

I saw Dr Val during my second pregnancy, toward the end of my second trimester / beginning of third. I only wish I had gone sooner! I was having terrible hip and pelvic pain and Dr Val was able to work her magic. I felt relief after even one visit and more relief after the second. I saw Dr Val until I gave birth and am thankful I was able to have a more comfortable pregnancy because of her gentle and pregnancy safe adjustments. I never felt pressured to buy anything or extra appointments, which is something I have heard from friends at other chiros. This was my first experience with chiropractic care and I would definitely see Dr Val again in the future for back or joint pain. read more

Dr. Val truly cares about the wellbeing of her patients. I started seeing her about 2 years ago searching for ways to relieve my lower-back and TMJ pain. With just a few adjustments, I started feeling much better. Since then, she has been an essential part of my self-care routine/pain treatment. Besides great adjustments, she is super friendly and goes above-and- beyond to make sure my pain-level is decreasing at every visit. I appreciate her services and suggestions. I would highly recommend Dr. Val. read more

Dr. Val is the BEST chiropractor I have ever been too! I have been a patient of hers for over 3 years. She is the most caring person I know who listens to your concerns and works with you to ensure your adjustment is just what you need. I would definitely recommend her for your chiropractic needs!! read more

I 100% recommend Dr. Val! I am a bit of a chiropractic connoisseur at this point in my life (I feel like I've tried them all). I wholeheartedly believe in their ability to heal and maintain health in the body. However, it is really hard to find qualified, invested and honest practitioners. Look no further, Dr. Val is all of those things and then some. I have been blown away with her thorough, honest and effective treatment. My neck has been "stuck" for as long as I can remember. I am proud to say it has been "unstuck" and never felt better. I wear an Oura ring and have seen a measurable increase in the quality of my sleep too. I was referred to by a friend who also raves about her. And I now recommend her to all of my friends and family. More than recommended, I insist they go see her. Her goal is to make you feel better in your body as quickly and efficiently as possible. NOT keep you coming in multiple times a week indefinitely. She co-create as healthy plan and goals with you with check-in points along the way. She used x-rays to precisely identify my body's specific and unique needs and has really made a positive impact on my overall health. I wish you the best of luck on your healing journey and rest assured you are in the best hands with Dr. Val. read more

Dr. Val is the BEST! She addresses all your bodies needs, she doesn't only adjusts you but, she does so much more by relieving those problematic chronic pain areas through different treatment techniques. Dr. Val keeps detailed records of every patient and knows what each of her patients respond well too. She is top notch! On top of all her professionalism she is very friendly, personable and caring. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Val for two years now. I strongly recommend her for anyone looking for a thorough and caring chiropractor. Here a few things that I really like about my experience with Dr. Val. - She takes her time and writes great notes so that the sessions get better over time. - She uses different modalities and focuses on way more than just cracking of the joints. - She uses a private room so that I feel more comfortable laying down. She will take great care of you! read more

Great experience! I started seeing Dr. Val for some emerging nerve issue in my low back. She quickly diagnosed the issue and put together a treatment plan. Within a few weeks I was barely noticing the issue and have moved on to regular "tune-ups". I highly recommend Dr. Val for anyone looking for a caring and competent Chiropractor. read more

Dr Val is amazing! I have been seen her for a few months now and it has been a life changing for me. I feel now that I can work out, play soccer and surf on a much better level and with no pain at all. I was with lots of pain in my back and knee before I started seen Dr Val and now I'm pain free after exercising. I strongly recommend her! read more

We Love Dr. Valerie, she is always kind, very professional, and very helpful. Above and beyond caring for others. Highly recommended!

Dr.Val is the chiropractor you have been looking for...you get excellent results. She is experienced, caring and enthusiastic. She loves helping people. Thanks Dr.Val read more

Dr. Val is the best! I came in with severe neck pain and limited mobility. I was terrified of having to live lIke that the rest of my life. Dr. Val was so sweet Anne reassured me that a pain frEe life was possible. Not only is her work amazing but she is great at making you feel comfortable on your journey to health. I can't thank Dr. Val enough for helping me live pain free. read more

You won't find a chiropractor that takes more time and care on every.single.visit! She listens to you and is immediately brainstorming what innovative technique she can use to help ease your pain and get you back at your best. I have been to many, many chiropractors over the years and I have never been more impressed and healed than I am with Dr. Val. She keeps my body in equilibrium and I am lost without her. Covid closures proved it as my appointments were unable to be completed as scheduled and I ultimately threw my back out for the first time in over a decade. I wasn't fortunate enough to know her during my first pregnancy and I suffered through an immense amount of back pain and sciatica. Luckily, she was recommended to me a year prior to becoming pregnant with my second child and she was able to keep me in perfect shape all the way up to my delivery. Never one single back or sciatica flare up! Dr. Val is passionate about what she does and is always bringing innovative techniques into her practice due to her voracious appetite for advanced continued learning through workshops and seminars. And lastly, if there is any doctor that embodies integrity, it is most certainly Dr. Val. She has never tried to get me to come in for quick, subsequent visits and if she thinks I am doing well, always attempts to see if I feel comfortable pushing our next session out a week or so past our previous scheduling timeline. I'm not a typical yelp poster, but I also don't typically feel very passionately about places or services I frequent. I'm this case, I wanted to share with the locals that Dr. Val is where it's at. Also.. you'll be hard pressed not to leave her office smiling after hanging with her for a few. She has a sort of infectious happiness that we all aspire to have. read more
