Been going here for a few years and can not recommend them enough. Have sent coworkers here too. I trust them to get me back into training shape. Specific help in my case: 1) Shoulder strain injury - Did 3 months of rehab. I'm now back and stronger than I was previously. The injury was pretty serious and doc was able to give me CBD lotion that really helped me out with pain management. The physical therapist (Taty) and Doctor Scott using electrotherapy were able to get me back into shape. 2) Elbow strain injury - Did rehab and same thing. Back to normal and no pain. 3) I also use monthly chiropractic (Dr Salmon) and massage therapy (Claudia) to offset my job that has me sitting down a lot. 4) Currently getting a lot of tips on proper form from Doctor Salmon and Doctor Scott. 5) They do offer acupuncture too. Not for me, but my friends all speak highly of it. Short story, head here. The staff is amazing and really listen to you and try to help you get back on track. They're really good about adjusting booking too when life gets busy and you need to juggle appointments.

Dr. Scott and team are a godsend!! I have been struggling with arthritis with my knees and ankles for over 15 years and Dr. Scott has figured out what my actual problem is and is working on fixing it. I've been to countless doctors and all they can tell me is I have gout and prescribe medicine. Well that isn't my problem, that's just a symptom of the problem. Anyways, Dr. Scott did a lot of homework and is now helping me resolve the problem and I'm on my way back to being "normal" again. He is a true doctor that only wants to help you and spends countless hours researching and trying to figure out the issue and when he does he gets his team together to figure out the best treatment for you. If you are looking for a doctor that truly cares about your health and well-being please come by Medizen Health & Wellness! I promise you won't be disappointed!!

I've been seeing Dr. Salomon for 3 years, and he has truly helped me get out of pain. He's a great chiropractor who listens carefully and genuinely cares about his patients. Over the years I have referred him many friends and family, and everyone loves him. I am so happy to see him work at Medizen Health & Wellness. Highly recommend!

Dr. Salmon is the man, taking care of the San Diego Legion players providing them with good recovery for the past few years throughout the week and on game days. Love having him around being a positive influence on the team and the medical department working with these rugby players.
