WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

  I saw Dr. Medina for my vertigo, and he was able to resolve the issue on the first visit.  Turns out I had crystals in my ear that dislodged and entered into an area of my ear which causes dizziness, nausea, and caused me to be out of commission for many days.

Dr. Medina used the Epley maneuver to relocate the ear crystal(s), and within a day I was back on my feet.

His integrative approach to health, nutrition, neurology, and chiropractic makes this doctor really stand out.  He is all about results, and he definitely delivers them.

My insurance through my employer gives me 40 visits per year for Chiro (Blue Shield), and I will continue to see Dr. Medina for many health needs.

  Ernesto Medina is the real deal.  Anyone looking to improve their overall health, get a deeper understanding of their physiology, or wants to optimize their training performance, needs to work with him.  What I enjoyed most about working with Ernesto was his ability to break down information and provide simple answers that I would not have otherwise received from my regular health care professional.   I found that when you are generally healthy, you are told that things are "normal," because you are not falling into the ranges of unhealthy or sick people.  But what if you just want to be the best version of your healthy self?  Through working with him, I learned that my quality of life was sub-optimal and that taking a deeper look into my physiology improved my quality of life dramatically. I started sleeping better, I had energy throughout the day, my skin looked better than ever, I lost body fat, continued to gain strength and muscle, and my performance in the gym skyrocketed. The amount of change that occurred is mind-boggling. He helped to reclassify normal and got me to feeling better than I ever have!

  I am a well educated and experienced fitness trainer. Because of that I'm very mechanically aware and I usually am able to take care of any tweaks, pulls, strains and other injuries that come with the high wear-and-tear lifestyle of a fitness trainer. However, in addition to my job, I'm 6'8", 250 lbs., lift heavy at the gym and a practitioner of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai and Wrestling. So the wear-and-tear on my body is EXTREMELY high. My lifestyle caught up with me eventually when I injured my right pectoralis (chest muscle) where it meets the front of my right shoulder. For the life of me I couldn't make it better. No matter how much I stayed off of it and iced it. I had massages done, K tape, Icy Hot/BioFreeze and SMR. Still it persisted. In addition to that, it was affecting my work. I went to see Dr. Medina and he had it figured out in about 2 sessions, and completely fixed in about 2 sessions after that. Since then, I've had small injuries here and there and the Doc has slashed my healing in time in half. I consider him an integral part of my maintenance process.

The Doctor himself is a consummate professional, always on time for our appointments, a true "student of the game" and as far as I'm concerned, a master of his craft. I'm very in tune with the rates charged by health and fitness professionals in relation to services received, and with Dr. Medina you get far more than what you pay for. I couldn't recommend him more.

  I got rear ended and was told I needed surgery for my back  by a Kaiser doctor immediately after seeing my x-rays. They didn't even try to find alternative route, just immediately said I needed a $12,000+ back surgery!
So instead I searched for ALTERNATIVE  treatments.
Thankfully I found Doctor Medina. Dr Medina is known for his natural and alternative approach to traditional  old fashioned "medicine" that just cuts you open when you don't need it...all for profits! He believes the body can heal and repair  itself with the proper adjustments, vitamins and targeted back sessions to decompress and guess what? He was right!  I feel better than I did before.
If someone says you need surgery don't trust them immediately, I urge you to get a second opinion or search  for alternatives first before allowing surgeons to cut you open just to charge your insurance  thousands of dollars and leave you feeling worse! It happened to a family member and that's why I was so weary of the news when I was told I needed surgery.  I am not so blindly trusting of surgery doctors. Surgery  is not the right approach for everyone! It can leave you with a domino effect of lifetime health issues further along.
In my case THIS was the right approach - Dr. Media's Holistic approach mixed with medical knowledge to create a perfect  plan just for ME.
He created a whole personalized treatment plan after seeing my x-rays, going  through ALL my medical history and reviewing my tests.  
I also changed my diet along  the way thanks to his influence because I felt so great while under his targeted vitamin plan for my healing. What a difference he has made in my overall health!  My whole body health! Everything in my body seems so synchronized and in perfect  harmony, something that I didn't feel even before I had the accident when I was supposedly  "healthy".  Dr. Medina digs deep into finding the right treatment mix for YOU. I feel great!

I enjoy every session I have with him for decompression. He has very soft hands and is not rough like other doctors. He works along with your pain level and makes me feel very relaxed. He is a very professional and knowledgeable chiropractor. I can tell he loves his job since he's always in a good mood and has such a positive aura to him-unlike the other doctors  who just rush you and seem to want to finish as soon as possible.

I also love that he has a small practice, which makes him readily available to his patients, unlike the huge hospital with so many heads ad so much bureaucracy that it is very difficult to reach your doctor on the phone.  Dr. Medina actually answers my phone calls and emails. I get to speak to him if I call him. He makes himself very available and  that feels very reassuring and stress free! It's a level of one on one with my doctor I hadn't gotten before. I wish all practices and doctors were like this.

Yelp only let's me place 5 stars for him but here's a symbolic +1 extra point=6

  Dr. Medina has a completely different approach to chiropractics than I've ever experienced. Whereas at other offices I've often felt that the doc spent a minimal amount of time with me--Dr. Medina takes a wholistic approach to health. He always tells me about the latest literature and different ways to improve my health.

I am a dentist so my work takes a major toll on my body. Dr. Medina showed me different exercises and massages that I could incorporate into my day to make me feel better.

I would strongly recommend Ernesto Medina to anyone looking to make a plan to seriously improve their overall health.

  I've had a strain in my right rotator cuff for a year and a half before I started working with Dr. Medina. It came to a point where I stayed away from any shoulder workouts. My rehab started around the last week of March 2013, within a month I am back to full mobility in my shoulder and I feel great throughout my whole body. I recommend Dr. Ernesto Medina if you are seeking a Chiropractic doctor.

  I have been receiving therapy from Dr. Medina for about a year now, and wow! it has made a huge difference in my life. I love staying active, but with this comes getting injured. I had pain on my IT band that carried pain to the side of my knee, then I had low back pain, and recently I injured my shoulder and upper back. Dr. Medina at Vitality has been just exceptional at alleviating my pain. He's not the older doctor you might expect, but he sure has all of the knowledge and expertise you want from a chiropractor. And I will say, I have tried different chiropractors before. He's very comfortable to be around too. Friendly doctor who is happy to explain everything he's doing on you and how to also continue improving as well as to how to avoid getting hurt again by teaching you proper body mechanics.   I cannot recommend Dr. Medina enough, it really is a blessing to find a doctor whom you can really trust. I tell all of my friends to come to his clinic in Fremont any time they get injured. Oh! but not only when injured, but also even if you feel some pain around your body. One of my pains came from carrying a purse with too much weight; it completely misaligned my body which began giving me pain..so one can get hurt in even the most insignificant ways. .anyway, I can talk about all the discomfort and pain Dr. Medina has alleviated for me for hours!  All I'm going to say is Thank you Dr. Medina!

  Dr. Medina has been a tremendous help with lower back, neck and wrist pain sustained from a car accident in April of 2018. He was very easy to work with and helped fixed all of my symptoms within weeks of the accident.

What sets Dr. Medina apart is his ability and passion to look at all areas of health and wellness to help solve bodily issues to get someone like myself back into their daily activity. Hands down he performed the best chiropractic work on me I have ever received and I recommend him to anyone looking to improve their overall health and wellness.

  First section and feel great thanks to the doc.if i could I would  give the doc. A 10 highly  recommended   bay area  health  & wellness

  I've struggled with hormone issues for years. Finally, I went to Dr. Medina and I'm so happy I did. I got a month long female hormone panel done and based on those results Dr. Medina was able to confidently tell me the root cause for why I was still having adult acne issues and unbearable mensural cramps. After only 3 month on the supplement protocol he recommended, my acne was gone, yes gone! I can't tell you how much of a confidence booster that is unless you've lived with acne since your teens. As for my cramps, I've been able to get off the prescription pain killer I was on in order to keep the pain in check and at a level where I wasn't having to throw up. Now I have only a few hours of mild cramps and the rest of my period is pretty easy going. Game changer for me.

I highly recommend Dr.  Medina if you are having any hormone issues or feel others haven't been able to help.
