Azzolino Chiropractic Neurology & Integrative Wellness

I've been a patient of Dr. Azzolino for decades. I can honestly say he is the sole reason I have avoided back surgery. Every few years I have an episode where my back "goes out" to the point where I am unable to walk without the support of a walker. This is quite a humbling experience, given I am only 57 years old. This past weekend was one of those times. I suffered in pain, unable to sleep, stand, or sit for four days. Again, the dreaded walker was my only way of moving around the house. Thankfully, I was able to see Dr. Azzolino and after a single adjustment, I felt much better. I saw him again the following day and by the time I got home, I was able to fold up my walker and stand for an extended period. This is the norm. No drugs, no massage, nothing beyond a chiropractic adjustment. Nothing short of a miracle when you're in pain. In ancient cultures, doctors were often referred to as "healers." In my opinion, this title is most fitting for Dr. Azzolino. More so than any doctor I have ever been treated by, Dr. Sergio Azzolino is truly a healer.

Dr Azzolino is an extraordinarily talented medical practitioner. He has built an excellent team that is highly responsive to patient’s needs. Over the past 20 years he has resolved numerous sports injuries of mine ands chronic issues of my wife. We are in great shape, thanks in large part to Dr Azzolino.

I had been experiencing a variety of visual and neurological symptoms for years. My vision issues had reached a point where my world constantly looked like it was shaking and my vision would flicker in and out. I went through a host of doctors but no one could give me a good explanation and I was hopeless by the time a family member recommended the Azzolino clinic. I’m very skeptical by nature and wasn’t hopeful that they would be able to do anything for me. The team at the Azzolino clinic is awesome and even though I’m still unsure about the process the results are undeniable. They looked at everything and took a deeper dive into my health than any other health care provider I’d been to before. They took a multi pronged approach and were able to finally give me answers to what had been plaguing me. They created a recovery plan for me and have continued to work with me even after I left California. Now, five months later, my vision is steady once again and the rest of my symptoms continue to improve. Doctor Azzolino and his team have helped me to an unexplainable degree. A special mention to Doctor Pereira, he’s awesome.

After 3 years and 3 doctors trying to cure my suffering from mold and fungal infections, I finally found Dr. Pereira at the Azzolino Clinic. In 3 months he cured me of all my symptoms and returned me to optimal health. Something that no previous doctor could do. He specializes in hard to cure diseases including Lyme as well. He was kind and proactive, always giving me encouragement. Without him, my descent into chronic disease would have been assured. I am reborn because of Dr, Periera.

I came to the Azzolino Clinic in late August of 2024 to see Dr. Tortorice. I wanted a Primary Care doctor with whom I could discuss ALL of my treatments, conventional and integrative; who would actually be able to partner with me. I found so much more than I expected. I was preoccupied with present symptoms and he screened for issues that come with getting older and opened my eyes to the importance of taking action now and being proactive regarding potential problems that come with aging or for which I may have increased risk. He also pointed out that Dr. Azzolino should take a look at my lower back troubles. I did an initial assessment with Dr. Azzolino and that very day he was able to tell me what was wrong with my back and also my brain, and what would happen if I did not intervene. His assessments are objective - there is actual observable data driving the process; this enables one to also track progress. I did therapy twice a week for the last three months of 2024 and added Dr. Ghassemi for strength and conditioning work done mostly at home and I am blown away by the results. For five years, every step I took unaided was somewhere between uncomfortable and utterly miserable. I moved around my kitchen like a large ship in a small harbor; everything done slowly because sudden movement was impossible. Within two weeks of starting therapy I found myself in the front yard with the dog, walking in circles around my driveway because it felt SO GOOD to walk! I see my scores going up and up on the clinic therapy equipment; I feel new strength and support from within my body for my lower back; I can stand and sit so much straighter and my stride is almost normal now, where it previously looked aged and impaired. I move around my house and kitchen much more quickly, no longer hesitating to go to another room or upstairs for something. I see the progress as I go, and while I have a long way to go yet, it is extremely exciting to see what is possible and my quality of life is so much better. I had no idea this was possible and I am so very grateful for this clinic. Everyone at the Azzolino clinic is engaged, kind, encouraging, and very good at what they do. They work hard to keep patients busy every second they are there; there is very little waiting around time. They work hard to be able to provide flexible scheduling and when I reach out with a problem they are always there offering help. You can bring your true self and be met with understanding and actual measurable help. I wish I had done this a long time ago.
