Dr. Joseph J. Joly — Doctor of Chiropractic
Dr. Joseph J. Joly is the founder and lead chiropractor at Joly Chiropractic, which he opened in Fremont, CA in 2003. A graduate of Life Chiropractic College West (2002), Dr. Joly has been serving the Fremont community for over two decades — helping thousands of patients recover from pain, injury, and chronic musculoskeletal conditions through precise, personalized chiropractic care.
Dr. Joly’s clinical approach is anchored in the Gonstead Technique, one of the most thorough and specific methods in chiropractic practice, and complemented by his certification in Active Release Technique (ART), earned in 2006. This combination allows Dr. Joly to address both the joint dysfunction and the soft tissue damage that underlie most musculoskeletal conditions — giving patients a more complete path to recovery than either approach alone could provide.
In his own words: “I felt the call to become a chiropractor years before I had my first adjustment. Looking back I’ve come to believe all of my life experiences have helped me along this journey. This is my path and I’m grateful and humbled by the thousands of people who have walked this journey with me over these first 20 years of my career.”

Brenda — Office Manager
Brenda’s career in chiropractic began — as she puts it — almost by accident. After graduating as a Registered Medical Assistant (RMA) in 1996, she took a job at a chiropractic office intending to stay only a year or two before moving into a more traditional medical setting. More than two decades later, she’s still here, and she couldn’t be happier about it.
Over the years, Brenda has become one of the most experienced and knowledgeable chiropractic assistants in the Fremont area. She has seen the practice grow, watched countless patients recover from pain and injury, and built lasting relationships with the patients who trust Joly Chiropractic with their health. “I see miracles happen all the time,” she says. “I am so grateful for all that I have learned and all the patients that I’ve had the honor of getting to know.”
When she’s not managing the office, Brenda enjoys reading, exercising, and taking long walks. Most of all, she loves spending time with her family — a husband of over 20 years and four children she’s watched grow into young adults.
