Our Chiropractic Treatment Methods
Every treatment at Joly Chiropractic begins with a thorough evaluation. Dr. Joly takes the time to understand the root cause of your condition before recommending any course of care — because treating the source of your problem, not just the symptoms, is the only way to achieve lasting results.
Gonstead Chiropractic Adjustments
The foundation of Dr. Joly’s clinical practice is the Gonstead Technique — one of the most thorough, precise approaches to chiropractic care available. Developed by engineer-turned-chiropractor Dr. Clarence Gonstead, this method uses a comprehensive multi-step examination protocol — including motion palpation, instrumentation, and X-ray analysis when indicated — to identify the exact vertebral segments causing nerve interference before any adjustment is made. The result is a highly targeted, effective adjustment that addresses your problem specifically rather than broadly.
Dr. Joly also performs extremity adjustments for the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles — joints that subluxate and cause dysfunction just like the vertebrae of the spine.
Active Release Technique (ART)
Chiropractic adjustments address joint dysfunction. Active Release Technique addresses the soft tissue dysfunction that so often accompanies it. ART is a patented, state-of-the-art system for treating problems in muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves — particularly the adhesions and scar tissue that develop from overuse, repetitive strain, and injury. Dr. Joly earned his ART certification in 2006 and has been integrating it into his practice ever since.
Common conditions resolved through ART include headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and tennis elbow. Most patients see significant improvement in 4 to 12 sessions.
Corrective Exercises and Wellness Care
Chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue therapy are most effective when supported by the right movement practices. Dr. Joly prescribes corrective exercises targeted to your specific condition — designed to strengthen and stabilize the structures supporting your spine and joints. Many of these exercises can be performed at home, making it easy to stay on track between visits.
We also support patients in general wellness care — discussing lifestyle factors, ergonomics, nutrition, and activity levels that affect musculoskeletal health. Chiropractic is not just for pain; it’s a powerful tool for maintaining the kind of long-term physical function that lets you do the things you love.
Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation
For patients recovering from injuries or dealing with significant functional limitations, we incorporate physical therapy principles into care — using movement, exercise, and targeted manual therapy to rebuild mobility, improve strength, and restore quality of life. Our approach to rehabilitation is individualized and progressive, meeting you where you are and advancing your care as your condition improves.
Back Pain and Chronic Pain Management
Back pain is one of the most prevalent health problems in the country, affecting eight out of ten people at some point in their lives. At Joly Chiropractic, we don’t just manage back pain — we identify its cause. Whether the source is a sprained ligament, a herniated disc, arthritic joint, or chronic muscle tension, Dr. Joly uses the full breadth of his diagnostic and treatment capabilities to address it. See the full list of conditions we treat.
Auto Accident and Whiplash Treatment
Auto accidents cause injuries that often don’t present symptoms immediately — but that doesn’t mean the damage isn’t there. Dr. Joly specializes in the comprehensive treatment of whiplash and auto accident injuries, using both spinal adjustments and ART to address all affected tissues. In most cases, there is no out-of-pocket cost to the patient. We handle the paperwork.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Chiropractic Services
What chiropractic services does Joly Chiropractic offer in Fremont?

Visit our individual service pages for full details on each.
What is the Gonstead Technique and why does Joly Chiropractic use it?
The Gonstead Technique is a highly specific chiropractic method that uses a thorough multi-step examination — including motion palpation, instrumentation, and X-ray analysis — to identify the exact source of nerve interference before any adjustment is made. Dr. Joly uses it because it produces more targeted, consistent results than general spinal manipulation approaches. It’s one of the most respected methods in chiropractic practice.
Do you only treat back pain, or do you address other conditions?
We address a wide spectrum of musculoskeletal and nerve-related conditions — not just back pain. This includes neck pain, headaches, sciatica, disc injuries, shoulder pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, knee injuries, hip pain, ankle sprains, sports injuries, auto accident injuries, and more. Our specialty protocols also address asthma, acid reflux, and chronic sinus conditions. See our full conditions page.
How are chiropractic adjustments and Active Release Technique used together?
Many conditions involve both joint dysfunction and soft tissue damage — and addressing only one while ignoring the other leads to incomplete results. Chiropractic adjustments restore proper joint alignment and relieve nerve pressure, while Active Release Technique breaks down the scar tissue and adhesions that develop in the surrounding soft tissues. Used together, they produce more complete and lasting recovery than either approach alone.
Are chiropractic services at Joly Chiropractic covered by insurance?
We work with many major insurance providers and will verify your benefits before your first appointment. We recommend calling (510) 249-9037 in advance so there are no billing surprises. We also offer transparent cash rates for uninsured patients and accept credit, debit, cash, check, and Apple Pay. Auto accident patients are typically covered at no out-of-pocket cost.
Can I get chiropractic care if I’ve had surgery?
Possibly, yes — but this depends on the type of surgery, when it was performed, and the current state of the affected area. Dr. Joly will review your surgical history during your consultation and examination to determine what treatments are appropriate and safe for you. Many post-surgical patients benefit significantly from chiropractic care for the adjacent spinal regions and soft tissues.
