Pain Relief & Symptom Improvement

Wayne Kulie

Dr. Jonathon Tola has done great work relieving my neck and shoulder pain as well as improving my hips. He is very knowledgeable, patient and pleasant to work with. You get the sense that he cares about your well being.

I can turn my neck now, without pain.. I am so happy. He fixed my shoulder, it feels better than it has in years.

Rhoda Yoder

I was having chronic hip pain at night, almost unable to turn from side to side. I went to Dr Marcos twice a week for a few weeks, the pain was leaving and I was having improved digestion. The bone on my foot was protruding beside the big toe. He worked on adjusting my foot each time. It is improving and not nearly as pronounced! After 2 months I was down to a visit once a week, and now at 3 months I'm only going in every 10 days. I'm pain free and so thankful to Dr Marcos for his patience and care, for taking the time to answer all my questions and for his sincere concern for my health. He is Top Tier!

I have been going to Dr Marcos and Dr Brittany this entire year - they have made a huge difference to my body - not just relieving pain in my shoulder and hips but bringing my spine into much better alignment. I've never been to such a caring, careful and meticulous chiropractic office. The Gonstead technique is very precise and calculated and works miracles!

Dave Walters

Dr. Marcos listens to me and asks questions (i.e., he takes his time) to ensure he understands what's going on and how to provide the best care. Since starting treatment, my headaches have less frequent and my hip is almost completely pain free. If you're in the Sarasota area and need chiropractic care, let Dr. Marcos help you on your health journey.

For more than 15 years, I struggled with severe pain in my jaw, neck, and upper shoulders. Despite seeing numerous doctors and specialists—both locally and in Boston, where I lived before moving five years ago—nothing provided lasting relief. A close friend, who had recently been in a car accident, recommended Dr. Marcos and the Gonstead chiropractic method, calling it the best decision she ever made. I decided to give it a try, and I’m so glad I did. After just three treatments, I feel better than I have in years—and my treatment isn’t even complete yet. Dr. Marcos’s expertise, precision, and individualized approach have been truly life-changing. I don’t usually write testimonials, but the dramatic improvement I’ve experienced compels me to share my story. I cannot recommend Dr. Marcos highly enough—his care has made a profound difference in my life.

Diane McMullin

Dr. Marcos is a miracle worker for me! After 2 surgeries on the same knee 8 years ago my pain had not improved since pre-surgery and recently was getting worse. Visits to 3 orthopedic doctors telling me all the “hardware” was as it should be and in January an ablation through a pain management physician, there was still no improvement. There was also ankle arthritis involved. My family all go to Dr. Marcos so I made an appointment and was pleasantly surprised at how thorough the initial visit was and after 2 visits I have experienced such relief! I can walk without limping, hanging on to something or in pain. Dr. Marcos explains all that is going on and provides a folder containing information on your personal X-rays and problem areas to be worked on. This is the longest review I’ve ever written on anything but I can’t t say enough good about this practice from the time you walk through the door!

I can't say enough great things about Doctors Marcos and Brittani at Gonstead Chiropractic in Sarasota. For over 2 months I had been suffering from a lack of mobility and pain in my neck that was also traveling down into my shoulders, forearms and wrists. I went to two other chiropractors to no avail. In fact, I think they made my situation worse. Dr. Marcos did a thorough physical and verbal evaluation as well as full spine X-rays that revealed how messed up my spine was. In that same first visit, Dr. Marcos was able to adjust my neck providing almost immediate relief! No other chiropractor had been able to do that!!! Everyone there is caring and very considerate and truly want to help you heal. I highly recommend them!

Nichol Dario

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Marcos at Gonstead Chiropractic Clinic of Sarasota for the outstanding care I received. When I visited two days ago, I was experiencing severe pain and limited mobility, making everyday activities challenging. Fortunately, the first adjustment brought noticeable improvement, and Dr. Marcos's thorough scans, x-rays, and adjustments have me feeling significantly better. Thank you very much!!!! Gonstead Chiropractic Clinic of Sarasota Thank you to Dr. Koca Chiropractic Clinic as well for the referral!

Barb Cottrill

I have been dealing with back issues for several months. I went to see Dr. Brittani and she has helped so much in just two visits so far! Would recommend to anyone!!

Anna Podolyak

I received a professional, caring very helpful treatment. My neck and shoulder complain was totally resolved. Dr. Marcos Perivolaris at Gonstead Chiropractic of Sarasota, is a wonderful doctor and I would recommend him to everybody with any pain issue. His office staff is also polite, professional, pleasant.

Faith

Very professional and compassionate to their patients! Usually I have found that many chiropractors do not do thorough investigation on what is happening with the patients body and Dr. Perivolaris goes beyond by making sure everything is covered in giving the most accurate, detailed and best care possible. I also appreciate the time they will spend with each patient instead of rushing them through as in an assembly line. Update: After going to Dr. Marcos this past December many of my symptoms have diminished so I would have to say this was a success! Thank you for your empathy and pursuit of excellence in your practice.

Kathleen Kadow

I had an incredible experience with Dr. Marcos! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. The office environment is warm and professional, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Dr. Marcos took the time to thoroughly assess my condition, explaining everything clearly and addressing all my concerns. After just a few sessions, I noticed a significant improvement in my posture and a drastic reduction in my back pain. I truly appreciate the personalized care and the holistic approach to treatment. I highly recommend Dr. Marcos to anyone looking for relief and a chiropractor they can trust!

Paul OBrien

Very knowledgeable and caring staff and Doctor. Had considerable loss of pain after one visit. Always positive and reassuring.

Jennifer Bishop

Progress in the making..relief of the pain in my legs, lower back. The way to go people. Great office. Research the Gonstead way of chiropratic care.

Mary Kate Shore

The place for results, trust, and support!! I have been going to Dr. Marcos over the past few months now and I can honestly say that my overall health and livelihood have improved significantly. I took a severe fall in my adolescent that led me to a build up of complications in the last 15 years. I struggled with sleep, migraines, constant pain and stress that have for the first time been relieved, while other doctors have recommended surgeries or medications instead of having immediate results that are working toward a long-lasting permanent improvement in my spine alignment and nervous system regulation. I cannot recommend this office and the supportive staff enough. I am forever grateful!!

Tsoy Family

I am so impressed with the whole experience! they take your x-ray pictures and dr. Marcus goes over it explaining everything, asking questions and he listens to your answers. After my first adjustment I already feel better! I couldn’t believe it! The dull pain in my tailbone area is gone! I am still trying to get used to not feeling it there :) this is just the beginning of my journey to recovery and happy to have dr. Marcus with me! By the way I chose this office when was looking for chiropractor in the area by going through google reviews, and he is the only with 5 stars *****

Kendra Hicks

As a dental hygienist I have a physically demanding job. Dr. Marcos and Dr. Brittani help me maintain my spine and reduce pain. I have seen chiropractors in the past (even ones that practiced the Gonstead method), and no one has practiced chiropractic with so much attention to detail as it is done here! 10/10 recommend Gonstead Chiropractic of Sarasota!!!

nicholas voeller

Over the years I’ve been to so many different chiropractors to address my lower back pain. With all of these doctors, I would see some relief the week of adjustment, but the pain would soon come back. The doctors at this clinic seem to use a sniper approach to see exactly what segments need to be adjusted as opposed to getting all of my bones cracked at other clinics. I was also experiencing intense sleep insomnia and didn’t even consider this to be an issue chiropractic could address. After my very through (2 hour) exam, my sleep insomnia was brought up. I have been a patient for 3 weeks now and sleep for over 8 hours with ease. Not to mention, the lower back pain is gone and is not coming back. This is thanks to the very thorough analysis done on every single visit! Can’t recommend this clinic enough! This is what I consider TRUE chiropractic!

Brad Mason

I have only been once so far. But the care, explanation, and treatment are all above anything I have experienced for other medical treatment. I am already feeling better!

Chantel Curtis

Visiting Dr. Marcos was like hitting the reset button on my spine! From the moment I walked in, the welcoming vibes and cheerful staff made me feel right at home. Dr. Marcos has a magical touch – it's like they have a PhD in chiropractic wizardry! ;) After just a few sessions, my back pain was history, and I felt like a brand-new person. The clinic is modern and spotless, with a dash of quirky charm that makes each visit something to look forward to. If you want to feel like you've been reassembled by a spine superhero, Dr. Marcos is your go-to. Highly recommended for anyone in need of a fun and effective chiropractic experience!

Matthew Ogg

I am very pleased to have found Dr. Marcos and Gonstead chiropractic. I have only had a few treatments so far but am already feeling much relief from my neck pain and improvement in my shoulder mobility. I would highly recommend.

Jordyn Kinsey

Hands down the best chiropractor i’ve ever been too. Dr. Marcos and Dr. Brittani are very knowledgeable and actually care to help you get to where you need to be. Whether it is spinal issues or other health issues. In just a short period of time I have felt less pain and an improvement in my overall health.

Sarah Kane

Have had an amazing experience with Gonstead and would ( actually have!) recommend to everyone I know. This should be your first stop - and your primary care doctor - if you are in pain or if you just have "regular" issues with virtually anything (digestion, sleep etc). Their care, responsiveness and attention to detail is unmatched.

Armando Oyola

I’ve been to many others and Doc actually in pointed my issue and did the snap crackle pop. I’m a bigger fella and he was still able to relieve my pain with ease.

Kyle Mason

Marcos is great! Helped my neck pain a ton, and the process was simple and fast!

Mary Godshalk

I could hardly walk when I went in there. They adjusted my back and I am soooooo much better.

Christopher Deal

I believe that my decision to get treated at Gonstead of Sarasota was one the best I’ve made for my health and overall wellbeing in years. The staff is professional and caring. My ex- rays are crazy , I have rods, healed fractures and no rotator cuff. I walk freely and pain free do to the care I receive from Dr. Marcos and Dr Brittany. If you want to be educated on and need Ciropractic care ! I recommend you get in the office and start your journey to a healthier and more untuned life.

Lindsay Wegesin

What an ABSOLUTE miracle worker Dr Marcos is. I’ve had neck and back issues for over 25 years. I’ve seen so many different chiropractors that haven’t helped me, so I sort of gave up on trying to do anything would make me feel better and just live with the pain and other issues. That is until a good friend of mine heavily recommended and actually scheduled a consultation for me. 3 weeks later now, all I can say is WOW!!! Actually I noticed HUGE changes and improvements after my first visit! Dr Marcos knows his stuff. The Gonstead Method is so fascinating and thorough and REALLY works! I am an absolute believer and will never stop boasting about Dr Marcos and this method. In fact, my dad is going to see him now because of what I’ve told him about my improvements. The entire staff is great too. Friendly, warm and inviting. You can tell Dr Marcos truly cares for his patients and has a passion for helping and healing people. He’s a Godsend for sure. Thank you Gonstead Chiropractic. Believer and patient for life!!!

Christine Tibbitt

I am thrilled with care Dr Marcos has given. The results are amazing and my back pain can hardly be felt. My mobility has improved greatly and feel wonderful after so many years of pain. Thank you Dr Marcos.

Tony Fitzgerald

Absolutely the best chiropractic experience I’ve ever had. I’ve been to a few chiropractors. A couple have been pretty good. As good as those were, there’s really no comparison to the level of care and attention to detail the Dr, Brit and Dr Marcos provides. Usually you show up at a chiropractor’s office and you barely see them for 3 to 5 minutes, they manipulate you when you’re out the door. This family sees you as one of their own and takes care during your visit. You truly feel like you’re being Treated as opposed to an assembly line. They take x-rays and even confer with their peers to make sure that you are getting the best treatment plan possible. I went in with a lot of different pains from many years of being a firefighter. After a few months, I feel great!

Kiersten McGinn

Working with Dr. Brittany was an amazing experience. She was very determined and dedicated to helping me with ongoing issues and pain. Within a few visits I felt great and all my headaches went away. She and her staff are very knowledgeable and most importantly they are caring and compassionate. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is in need of an adjustment or assistance with pain management.

kim palmer

Pain gone!! I almost never rate a business publicly- but for Gonstead Chiropractic, I have to! The care I have received is amazing! Visited other area chiropractors, who were nice people, but still in pain after treatments- which were more similar to massage and physical therapy- I wanted and got! Adjusted properly at Gonstead! Pain immediately gone!! Thank you, Dr. Marcos!!

melinda champagne

I have seen a few different chiropractors over the last 20 years, but the methodology of Gonstead Chiropractic is unlike other chiropractic applications, having provided the biggest improvement in my overall wellbeing. Under the care of Dr. Marcos, I have experienced quick, long-lasting relief of various issues that have been plaguing my body for a few years. He is very attentive and thorough, explaining the process in detail and answering all questions very thoughtfully. His knowledge is quite impressive, and his passion to share it is amazing. Both Dr. Marcos and Dr. Brittani are truly dedicated to helping others live healthy, happy, productive lives. If you are struggling with any type of pain, I highly recommend them – they will change your life!

Julie C. McArthur

I was in really bad physical shape in terms of my back when I first met Dr. Marcos and Dr. Brittani and I was feeling pretty hopeless. At the time I had just been seen by an orthopedic who put me on Celebrex for my pain in addition to muscle relaxers and told me to take for 30 days and try physical therapy. I very quickly saw results after seeing both Dr. Brittani and Dr. Marcos and was able to very quickly get off of all meds. I am back at the gym and able to play with my children and nieces again and it wasn't even 30 days! These doctors and their entire team are so friendly, kind and compassionate. They are super eager to help you achieve your goals and I am so happy and grateful they are a part of my healthcare team now.

Sharda Ramkissoon

I moved to Lakewood Ranch about six months ago and was in need of a Chiropractor. I searched on Google and found Gonstead Chiropractic and have been getting treatment the last few months and have been so happy that my back pain and many other issues have been resolved and is getting better everyday. Doctor Marcos is so caring and helpful and always takes time to listen to my chiropractic needs. I wasn’t sure that I could find a chiropractor to help me after I moved but doctor Marcos has exceeded my expectations and is always willing to truly help me and my family. I highly recommend him and his practice.

Autumn Kerr

Both my son and I see Dr. Brittani at Gonstead. She's amazing. She really takes her time with you, is very thorough and detailed. We are already seeing incredible results. I specifically had numbness down my right leg for more than a year and other things I tried were not helping. Within a few weeks of seeing Dr. Brittani, the numbness is gone. We recently did updated xrays and there's already been significant improvement from my first visit to now. Highly recommend.

Molly R

This place is more than a chiropractor. I have been to many, many chiropractors claiming they could fix my lower back problems, with absolutely minimal to no results. I have been adjusted here 2 times and have already experienced more relief than years at anywhere else. Not only do they pinpoint exactly where the problem is and where to adjust, they dive deep into your whole body to resolve other problems that contribute to your overall wellness. Dr. Marcos and Dr. Brittani are a powerhouse of a team. I am so happy to have found them and will continue to praise them any chance I get. If I could give them 100 stars I would. I promise you will not regret your time spent with them!

Tod Colbert

Here's what I like best about this place- the people. Dr. Marcos and Dr. Brittany are just terrific people- down-to-earth, caring, knowledgable and helpful. There is no heavy sales pitch that I have received from other partitioners, and they take the time to show you and explain what's wrong and what their treatment plan will be. I drove down to Florida from Wisconsin and arrived in debilitating back pain after having been through numerous treatment modalities prescribed by my orthopedic surgeon (no surgery thank god) including, physical therapy, dry and wet needling, and drug therapy. I have been under Dr. Marco's care for about two months and I now have relief and have a path forward with another Gonstead clinic in my hometown when I return (tomorrow, unfortunately). These are GOOD PEOPLE- give them a try. You will not regret it!

emilio castrillon

Dr Marco es un experto en su campo, el me ayudó con un dolor crónico que llevaba desde el 2016, había ido a diferentes quiroprácticos, terapistas físicos, ortopedas, y no había encontrado una solución duradera. El realizó su análisis y con su sistema de medición y radiografías me mostró mi problema, lo entendí y aprendí que tenía que hacer para lograr resultados duraderos. Sus manos expertas me están ayudando a sanar y me siento renovado, con deseos de salir y ejercitarme de nuevo. Me cambió la vida. No es un quiropráctico cualquiera. Viajo 2 horas para verlo por que vale la pena estar al cuidado de un quiropráctico correctivo específico. Mil gracias Gonstead Clinic Of Chiropractic Sarasota.

KJ

What I have been searching for!! I recently tried 6 chiropractors. I gave them months of my life without any success. But Dr. Marcos is different! With each visit you are evaluated. After each adjustment you walk it out and are checked again. If you need more manipulation, you get it. I had relief after the very first visit. It is a new, clean, comfortable location. I highly recommend them!

Alex Sturino

Dr. Marcos and Dr. Brittani are extremely professional and knowledgeable and really care about my well being. I am very active and they have helped me multiple times to get out of pain and return to my sport.

Steven Salinger

Drs. Marcos and Brittani provide the absolute best that chiropractic has to offer. The Gonstead system works incredibly well, my chronic low back and neck pain is gone! They’re amazing people and I look forward to seeing them in the office!

Ayesha CFDC

After sustaining a injury in the military I was in pain and hopeless about getting relief. Dr. Marcos was patient and methodical about figuring out what was causing my pain and was able to provide relief for this issue that I thought was not fixable. He was understanding of my unpredictable schedule and fit my treatment plan to my needs. I had such a great experience, I encouraged my boyfriend to see him for hip issues with great success. Highly recommended!!!

Kayla Willoughby

Dr. Marcos has helped me through having low back pain and low energy. All it took was one adjustment to get me moving the way I should and with no pain! I couldn’t believe the immediate relief I experienced. In addition my energy levels have increased I used to need multiple cups of coffee to get through a day. Now I only need 1/2 a cup to get started. Thank you for taking care of me.
