My name is Brenda V. I was in a car accident with my family in September. We went to a attorney who recommended us with Dr. Vella. At first I was really nervous because I have never been to a chiropractor before. After all it was not bad at all. I felt really comfortable even the first day when we registered. I had so much discomfort in my back and neck. We had secessions about 3 times a week. Dr. Vella did such a great job helping me and my family feel better. He really explains to you in detail of what exactly is going on within your bones. He would answer every question my family would have. Not only that, I enjoyed the conversations we would have and the advice he would tell me for my upcoming years of college. My family and I highly appreciate every thing he has helped us with. Thank You Dr. Vella!

My name is Gustavo. I was recommended to go to Dr. Vella by a friend of mine. I had little to no motion of my left shoulder. I went to Dr. Vella and after performing some test, he stated that my problem was my neck and not my shoulder. After taking some x-rays, he explained and showed me what the problem (s) was. I was very surprised and satisfied that I had found a doctor who knew what he was doing.



Dr. Vella is very knowledgeable and after the second day of treatment, I started gaining motion to my left shoulder. After the fifth day of treatment I had gain full motion of my left shoulder. I am able to fully move my left arm to any position now.



I highly recommend Dr. Valla!

Relief from back pain

Dr. Vella has thirty years of experience and is extremely knowledgable in his craft. He was able to not only severely reduce my back pain in only three visits but educated me in the area of chiropractics so I was more in tune with the way my bones and nerves work in my body. Great experience. Highly recommended!

What a Relief! Finally a Solution!

For over 2 years I have suffered with tremendous back and hip pain. I have been to see miriads of chriropractors both in France and in California, and no one was able to help relieve the pain for more than a couple of days. I first went to Dr. Vella just over 2 month's ago. I can tell you the treatment Dr. Vella has given me, has made a vast difference in my life, as I can now think, instead of being in constant insidious Pain! If you are in pain and pray to God for some kind of relief , I highly recomomend Dr. Vella. He is genuinely interested in the people, not in bilking money from them.

His proven scientific approach is what made the difference for me. Merci Beaucoup Dr. Vella! Voila le Paul Bocuse (voted chef of the century) de Chiropractics!

A doctor that knows what he is doing! I had pain from my neck down my right arm and after only four visits I was pain free! He is now helping me to put the s curve back in my neck so I don’t have any future problems. My husband asked me to make him an appointment after all of my progress! He has had a muscle disease called Stiff Mans and pain for 13 years. Recently I had to take him to the ER for extreme pain in his left arm. They told him his neck was out and pinching his nerves, they sent him to a pain specialist that put a shot in his neck that did not help. After only one visit with Dr. Vella, my husband said the pain is starting to go away and he can use his arm again. I can’t wait to take him back again; I just know that Dr. Vella is the one that can finally help my husband....

Great Chiropractor!!!

I am a 23 year old female who was in a motor vehicle accident in March of 2013. After the accident I had headaches, extreme neck stiffness/pain, mid/low back pain which would increase with walking, driving and sometimes sitting too would even aggravate me. I was referred to Dr. Vella and with the help of his therapy I was able to find relief in just a few months. I really appreciated his time spent explaining my injuries and how the therapy would fix it. He is very flexible with appointments and was able to work with my busy work schedule. I never sat longer then 2 minutes in the waiting room and was always in and out. I would definitely recommend Dr. Vella for anyone who is suffering from back or neck pain. He is very knowledgeable and was always pleasant. :)

On vacation I knew I had dislocated my right shoulder and the pain was unbearable. I was referred to Dr. Vella and "Wow". A miracle worker, the first visit was painful due to him having to reset my shoulder but the next morning I had movement on my right arm and shoulder and my pain was no longer at the level I had experienced before. I was able to dress myself and comb my hair. Simple things I had experienced so much pain in doing. By my second visit I was able to do the simple exercises he asked with no pain. I thank him very much for assisting me and getting me back to normal, movement without pain. I would refer Dr. Villa to anyone who is in pain. He truly is a miracle worker in my book. thank you Dr. Villa.

I am very happy with the treatment I received from Dr. Vella.



Not sure If anyone can relate to my situation but it was about 12 years ago I was involved in a car accident and didn't think much of it as far as I was concerned my back felt fine no pain whatsoever. I remember going to a chiropractor with my mom, at the time I was 13 years old and I was against going to treatment as I mentioned above I felt no pain and was told that I should be okay.



As time passed I started to feel discomfort in my lower and mid back area but again I didn't think much of it and kept ignoring my pain and learning to live with it. Pretty soon it began feeling normal to me, until I finished high school and began working. Then I started to notice that I was unable to do the things I used to in my late teens. I don't know how it feels to be 80 years old but in my head my back made me feel pretty close to that. I told myself there is no way that a 25 year old should feel like this something has to be wrong. I met Dr. Vella because he was treating my girlfriend after she was involved in a hit and run. I saw the whole process of the treatment and how great she felt afterwards I then decided to get looked and I can't say how grateful I am that I did. My back feels better than when I was 20.



Thank You Dr. Vella you don't know how much you have changed my life by repairing my back.

Wonderful Experience!

I was involved in an auto collision. I went to my medical doctor and they gave me pain pills, however after a couple of weeks I still felt pain. I was sleeping with a heating pad every night and wearing a heating patch to work everyday. I was told to see Dr.Vella by my lawyer(which was the best thing ever.) Dr. Vella set me up with 8 weeks of visits. Every time we met he would explain everything so I could fully understand it, Every tool he used he would explain why, he would aso educate me, in what I was going through, and how I and him would fix it. I now feel much better and can sleep without the help of a heating pad. I also feel as if I have more energy in my day. He did such a wonderful job, that now my fiancee is now seeing him. He was in an auto collision before we met, and Dr. Vella is more then willing to help him get to live without his back pain. If you every feel like you have back, neck pain and the doctor gives pills for the pain and the pain is still there, I would suggest you call Dr.Vella and ask if he could help you. I would send everyone I know and love to him, and have no distrust what so ever!!!!

Male age 69 of Visalia, CA.

After several days of moving items of furniture into my home, I woke up one morning with a cramp in my right calf.

I was not able to walk, only hop on my left leg. My daughter made a doctor’s appointment for that afternoon and the doctor had me go to the emergency room at the local hospital to test for a blood clot. The test was negative and a prescription to relieve the pain was given.

I was only able to rest in an easy chair at home and spent the next two week sleeping in that chair using a heating pad to lessen the pain.

My daughter then found Dr. Raymond Vella, a local chiropractor in the yellow pages. After she spoke with the doctor for a few minutes, he was very concerned of my painful condition and asked us to meet him in his office that afternoon. This was my first visit to a chiropractor and I was apprehensive of what to expect from him. He analyzed my condition and a follow up MRI was done to pinpoint the source of my pain. A bulge was found between the L5/S1 disks. Surgery was suggested by my personal physician but I wanted to try other methods of treatment and use surgery only as a last resort.

After three weeks of daily treatment, I was finally able to sleep in my bed at night.

The next treatments were scheduled for two or three times a week until I was able to walk around, drive my pickup and do minimal activities.

I was very active playing softball and attending several dances a week. All of this was curtailed due to my back problems; however, after a year of treatment, I am now playing in a softball league in Tulare, CA and once again enjoying dancing with my friends.

I now see Dr. Vella once a month on a maintenance schedule to keep me from returning to my prior condition.

The best!

My husband and I were involved in a car accident on Christmas. We were referred to Dr. Vella for 8 weeks of care and now feel much better after seeing him. Dr. Vella explained every step that we needed for a speedy recovery. He is very friendly with great bed side manners. My husband and I both feel comfortable seeing him in the future if we ever needed to again. I would highly recommend him to family and friends.

Best in Town!

My family and I got hit by a big Rig Freightliner, who failed to make a stop at a four way stop sign, smashing into our veichle, and sending my whole family to the emergency room.. After seeking legal advice i was reffered to Dr. Vella to take care of our injuries,,My Wife myself, and my oldest daughter, "that took most of the impact ". I was a skeptic at first and actually a little bit scared of Chiropractors, as for i would here bad things about such practice.. Under Dr. Vella's care I can Honestly say that the Treatment that i went under him has drastically improved my injuries that I obtained from the accident, and I can honestly say that my back and spine has been adjusted to such a fine alignment that I have'nt felt since my teenage years....

Great Doctor

At age 16, I was involved in a sledding incident where my back was severely injured, and not treated at the time. As an adult it became worse, and I started going to Chiropractors to receive adjustments. We moved from Southern California to the valley here approximately 16 years ago and I spent the first few years going from one Chropractor to another. Some were good, and I generally left their offices feeling better, and releaved of the pain. However, I would find myself trying to get by until the next visit, and was generally in a lot of pain before I would schedule the next appointment. I didn't realize that this was not normal, and that you didn't have to feel your worst before going back. I have even on occasion gone for an adjustment, and within an hour of leaving felt worse, but when I attempted to go back to fix whatever was missed, the doctor wouldn't see me. They I found Dr. Vella. he put me on a regular treatment plan, and explained that I didn't need to feel extreme pain before being adjusted. I have been going to him for several years now, and am down to a monthly adjustment, unless extra work or strain causes and earlier visit. I would recommend Dr. Vella to anyone who needs a great Chiropractor. The peace of mind in knowing I have someone I can depend on to do the adjustment right is a great relief. Thank you to Dr. Vella.

I have had the experience of taking my wife to several chiroprators over the years, and though many have regarded my insurance coverage as their primary concern, Dr. Vella was not that way. He set up a treatment plan with my wife that of course required more frequent visits at first, but as the treatments took hold, she was able to cut down the frequency, and has felt much better because of having a treatment plan that works. In addition, Dr. Vella's vast knowledge of the body and how it works, his at home treatment advise has also contributed greatly to her recovery and better health. I myself had to use Dr. Vella's treatment with a shoulder injury, after setting up a treatment plan, my shoulder was able to start healing, and healed to a point. Dr. Vella was more concerned with my total recovery than profits, and when it became necessary he recommended that I see a Medical doctor, where I received excellent medical care, and fully recovered. I have seen past Chiroprators who have strung my wife along with useless treatment, and would have done the same with me. Dr. Vella has become our main Doctor, I trust him to tell us what we need to do for treatment, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a goot Chiropractor. I have found that he can accomplish alot more, than the doctors who prescribe drugs to high the problem.

Feeling Better

I was involved in a auto accident and hurt my neck and back due to this accident. I first went to another chiropractor for about eight weeks plus and never got any relief for my neck and back. After seeking legal counseling I was recommended to Dr. Vella and man what a difference in a matter of a few visits I found major relief. I had gotten to a point that I could not even sit down in a chair without my left hip hurting so much and as I had suspected my hip was out of alignment and Dr. Vella was able with one move put it back into place where it belonged and now I can walk again and sit down without pain. I feel much better but still a little bit more work to be done but we are getting there. I will recommend Dr. Vella to all my friends and family. Thank You Dr. Vella

Excellent Care, Friendly, and Compassionate

Following my accident, I started treatment with another chiropractor but saw little relief. My attorney suggested that I try Dr. Vella. My referral to Dr. Vella was the best advice he could have given me.
