Success Stories
I have been a patient of Dr. Publico's since the 1980's. Time and time again he has helped me with aches and pains that have slowed me down. Sometimes it is a simple strain due to overdoing it with whatever task I have performed, even though I knew it would hurt me later. Other times I could barely walk and needed assistance to get to his office. Every time he has managed to put me back on my feet to continue my active life.
This past visit was probably the most remarkable of all. I had received some serious news from my family doctor. It seems he wanted to refer me to an oral surgeon for a condition I didn't even know I had. "You have JAW BONE DEATH" his assistant told me. This stunned me . I tried to get my doctor to explain the condition to me . But all I got was, " I Can't" answer to any of my questions. I never made it to the oral surgeon. After waiting for a referral, getting the referral , denied the referral and having the oral surgeon's office tell me it would be a $300.00 co pay I gave up pursuing the diagnosis. I had spend many nights worrying about this situatioan and not having any answers I gave up trying.
Thankfully, I needed to get an adjustment with Dr. Publico. So, I took the diagnosis with me and decided to ask him what his thoughts were. As always, he was eager to help. After reading the paperwork, he explained to me in plain ENGLISH that I had Arthritis in my jawbone. He told me what treatment I needed to do to improve it and proceeded to adjust my jaw. My jaw was out of alignment and he immediately went to work putting it back to it's proper position. I walked out of there feeling as if a great weight had been lifted. I felt so grateful for having Dr. Publico in my life! no headaches with insurance, oral surgeons, sleepless nights, or emptying my pocketbook.

I am very grateful for the letter regarding my last visit, and the cooperation I had from you about filling out the questionnaire for my hearing. I'm also very, very grateful that you were able to work out things for me financially on that visit. I think you have pathed your path to heaven. I cannot express to you what that means.
I wanted to tell you that, and also say that I am very anxious to get on with my treatment with Dr. Publico! I've been told for 3 1/2 years by medical people that is no "CURE", and no more they can do short of surgery, short of more pills and short of side effects.
I've been told "NO" so many times, that when I first heard Dr. Publico say, " I CAN FIX THIS" I was numb. It was not what expect to hear. The first treatment was so freeing! I wish it lasted longer and I do understand the importance of following up. Everyday I wait with great expectation.
Thank you so much Dr. Publico! - Lizzie Bernam
In 2007, I was diagnosed with Meniere's Disease, I had vertigo to the point that it was affecting my everyday life, along with that I also had chronic migraines and constant ringing in my ears. At first I was treated with an array of medications in a matter of 6 months I had been on 20 different pills, none of which worked.
In October 2007 they decided to perform surgery on me. I was told the surgery had an 80% success rate, however it only managed to make my condition worse. After the surgery, I went through 2 years of vestibular rehab accompanied with a series of steroid injections followed by a series of toxin injections directly in the eardrum.
I originally went to the chiropractor because of lower back pain and found that my neck was out of alignment as well. After two weeks of adjustments my vertigo and migraines have become non-existent. I still have the ringing and hearing loss, however, the fact that my vertigo is gone is a huge deal considering three years of medical treatment did not help.

When my son came home from school he was complaining about neck and back pain. I asked him if he had fallen at school? He answered NO! he said, that in his P.E class they had a tug a war and right after they finished, he started feeling pain in his neck and mid back. The next morning, I saw that he had his head tilted to the right side. I was so scared to see my son like that!. My friend recommended Dr. Publico. I was very skeptic about chiropractic! But I was willing to try anything.
When we got to Dr. Publico’s office he took some x-rays. I was shocked to hear that my son had scoliosis! I was very scared!. Dr. Publico said to us “DO NOT WORRY” he is still young and I can help him.
Dr. Publico explained the process to us. He put my son on a treatment and had my son do some exercises at home. After his treatment Dr. Publico took another set of x-rays and he showed us the before and after. When we saw the results I was AMAZED!! At the results. My son no longer had scoliosis!!! And the his pain was gone! I was a true “BELIEVER” in chiropractic care!.
My son still continues with his adjustments and his exercises.
Thank you Dr. Publico-Mrs.Ibanez
I have had migraines for a year now. A 13 year old kid with migraines!. We tried everything, medication, doctors, pain full procedures, everything possible. I had a migraine that started on January 3, 2010, It was so bad I had to go to the hospital. It was a nightmare, all sorts of medication. Some that put me in pain, made me dizzy and very drowsy, I was in the hospital for five days, and when I got out I was in the same amount of pain as I went in. About two weeks later my mom told me about Dr. Publico. He adjusted me when I was a baby and I would stop crying every night at 5:00 pm.
When I saw Dr. Publico, he asked me "Why can't you hold your arms up" I don't know I told him. He took a few x-rays and figured out the problem!. He put me on an exam table and with two adjustments to my neck my MIGRAINES were gone!. When I told my mom she broke out into tears. I understood chiropractic. My four weeks of agony was over. Know I have been migraine and headache free.
Thank you Dr. Publico - Jordan Jarod
For many years, I refused to try chiropractic care because, I thought it would be harsh and painful. After living with severe neck pain and migraine headaches for fifteen years, I decided to try Beach Cities Chiropractic on the recommendation of a friend. Dr. Publico was understanding and explained everything he did to me step by step. I started to notice less pain in just a few weeks after starting chiropractic care. What an improvement it has made in my life! On a couple of occasions, Dr. Publico has helped me after hours for emergencies. After taking a vacation and sleeping on different beds, my neck was really jammed up. I was vomiting non-stop, my husband called Dr. Publico after hours, and he spent two hours helping me with my neck and he made sure I was o.k. before he let me go. I now swear by chiropractic care and will continue to be a patient for the rest of my life."-
Thank you so much!-Katie Williams
"The other day at work, a customer asked me if I had managed to dodge all the flue, colds, fevers etc. going around. (I work with the public and see hundreds of people a day.) I replied that I not only managed to escape the illness recently, but I never get sick. What's your secret he said? He exclaimed shocked. I thought secret? It’s no secret. I have been seeing a Chiropractor (Dr. Publico) regularly for years. I told this to my customer, and he said Chiropractor??! Doesn’t he help with your back? I said "Chiropractic adjustments help with the alignment of the bones, and everything else that is attached; including, nerves, tendons, ligaments, and other pathways that keep the body functioning in healthy response to challenges in life". WOW!! He said that is amazing!
“Dr. Publico has treated our family for over five years, and we all see him regularly. Occasionally, each of us has had minor injuries and instead of running to get medicine or invasive treatments, we see our chiropractor first. With his years of experience, Dr. Publico always gets to the heart of what is going on with our spine and how it's affecting overall health. He just knows what to do and the results are usually immediate. We use chiropractic to stay in balance and to make sure our bodies are in good working order- like getting an occasional tune up for a car. We get a body tune up! I wouldn't be as healthy as I am today without adjustments and I get on a regular basis.
"Chiropractic helped me maintain a healthy active life, I do see an M.D. regularly once a year for mammograms etc, and even my M.D has said to me “you are fifty years old and you are not on any medication that'd unusual." I presume he means hormones, high blood pressure, and other medications associated with growing older, I have experienced no symptoms of menopause or high blood pressure- again, I believe this is due to regular chiropractic treatments. I believe Dr. Publico's knowledge and care with adjustments and holistic supplements along with plenty of rest, exercise, healthy diet, and spiritual fulfillment make me the person I am"-
Thank you Dr. Publico- Maureen McCann
The staff at Beach Cities Chiropractic is great. They are friendly and caring, even when working with insurance companies who can be difficult at best. What is important is they really try to make our experience there a good one, and it is. I highly recommend Dr. Publico and his crew". - Craig Stout
"In February, 2008 I was injured in an auto accident, and required frequent chiropractic adjustments and physical therapy. I was being treated multiple times per week by my chiropractor of twenty five years in
In July 2008, I abruptly relocated to
Dr. Publico and his staff always treat all the patients with smiles and wonderful cheer. They move a lot of patients through the lobby, but amazingly most appointments are always on time, and yet they still can accommodate walk-in traffic. I am exceedingly happy to have been recommended to Beach Cities Chiropractic, and even more joyed at having ventured forth to give them a try. I hope you (the reader) will try them too". -
Thank you!- Eric Korn
"Due to injuries and general stress, my back has given me much pain, especially my lower back. The muscles were so tight, that any adjustment was not easy for me. I see Dr. Publico on a regular basis and the movement in my spine has increased, and the pain has decreased. Regular care makes a world of difference." Thank you Dr. Publico- Max Ammerman
"I have had pain on the left side of my foot for many years. I just thought that it was from an old stress fracture. At sixty six years old, I figured that it was "just one of those things". Dr. Publico adjusted two areas in my foot and that pain has never happened again". -
Thank you!- Joy Sue Priem-Ammerman
In 1996 I relocated from Los Angeles to Carlsbad and was looking for a Chiropractor, another doctor recommended Dr. Publico and I am delighted with his service I have received, I have a history of spinal problems and do not like the pain associated with it. It makes my whole body impaired.
I am a believer in vehicle maintenance, When your vehicle has lost it's peep you get a Tune-up and you can feel the difference the first time you press on the accelerator. Also, periodically you change the oil. You do not feel any difference when driving but you know the consequences if you don't....
For my back, adhering to a maintenance program with Dr. Publico he has eliminated that dreadful pain of back problems. I have avoided severe back pain since 1996!.
Thank you Dr. Publico for helping me live a pain free life.- Thank you! - Mike Percopo
