“Singing” Dr. David’s Praises

B.E.S.T. For Body Mind Balance

I came to Dr. Revivo about 5 years ago. my mother was under his care, and had experienced great results. I was having issues with my back and balance at the time so I made my first appointment and have been seeing Dr. Revivo on a regular basis ever since. Ever since I have been in good health, and feeling great. The method that he uses balances my mind and body, and has also given me an awareness about my body. What I’m feeling and why it is happening. His method B.E.S.T. has helped me deal with other things besides structural. The way I tackle life, and the way I deal with myself and the day to day struggles of life. He can read your mood, emotions your going through. It makes a big difference. I keep coming to Dr Revivo because I want to prevent injuries to my body, and keep an active life style for as long as I can, and do some healing along the way. I would recommend this treatment to everyone. For body maintenance, and for a balance of mind and body.

B.E.S.T. For Stress

I began seeing Dr David because my kids had been seeing him and wanted me to meet him.  I went to one of his introductory seminars and I was ‘hooked’!  I was under a lot of stress and tension due to many factors in my life…..The results were immediate!  I learned more about myself and how to deal with the stress in my life that was causing me physical and emotional pain.  I was able to encourage my husband to began ‘treatment’.  He was able to ‘open up’ and it even improved his golf game! I have been seeing Dr David for about 15 months and in that time I have learned how to relieve some of my ‘issues’ using techniques I have learned from Dr David.  I am not always fond of the traditional chiropractic techniques but I do get results.  I prefer the B.E.S.T. technique.  I like the subtly of this method.  It helps me relate to those around me. I am learning to ‘train’ myself to help me with my emotional/physical well-being.  I would and have recommended Dr. David to my family and friends. I have continued my treatments because I can see/feel the difference in me and my relationships with those around me.  I look forward to my Wednesday afternoon visits!

No More Chronic Pain Thanks To B.E.S.T.

I first came to Dr. David with a chronic neck ache and low back pain. I had just figured that neck pain would be a way of life as I’d had it for so long. Dr. David assured  me that I could be pain free if I just made the commitment  to stay with the treatment plan. I was ready. I was tired of always being in pain. I have made and kept that commitment and today my neck is pain free 90% of the time. I still have a bit of pain in the low back but it has improved dramatically. Most days I don’t even think about it. Occasionally it gets tweaked by something that happens to me and usually in one visit Dr. David gets it back in the pain free zone. I am thrilled. It’s so great not to have this as a daily thing to deal with. I definitely feel lighter and more optimistic without this constant drain on my energy. I Love B.E.S.T.! It is almost magical how it “sees into me”. It often identifies the problem perfectly, even when I’m not totally clear about the issue.  I would, and do, recommend Dr. David to everyone. When my family is in town, I get them over here too. He got rid of back pain in one session that my Dad had been dealing with for months. I only regretted that Dad didn’t live close enough to get consistent treatment. If we could only clone Dr. David, it would be a perfect world.

Family Healing With B.E.S.T.

I first came to see Dr. David because I had a pinched sciatic nerve and was getting on a train for an 8 hour trip.  I needed relief so I could sit down.  I gained so much relief from the first treatment that I began to have regular weekly treatments to balance and align my body, emotions and spirit. I now find that when I have regular treatments my body feels better, my spirits are uplifted, my moods are more even and my world looks brighter. Sometimes my energy fields are so open and flowing that I feel like I am flying.  This is a good thing.  I love bringing my mental/emotional challenges to the table and shifting them through the use of B.E.S.T. I am impressed by how Dr. David is the channel for healing with no personal ego involved. What a blessing it is to have the negative emotions surface and have them replaced by positive healing words that I can take into my day and week. I feel very empowered to take part in my healing.  I continue to have sessions with Dr. David regularly because it supports me in feeling good and enjoying my life more. I have also brought my 85 year old Mother and my 2 children 20 and 22 years old to be in the healing environment of Dr. David.  The most significant results I have seen with them revolve around the use of B.E.S.T. and the emotional healing that has occurred individually and collectively with our family. We all have big smiles on our faces and open hearts when we share with others our experience with Dr. David and the beautiful work he does.  We are emotionally much more at peace now.

B.E.S.T. For Vertigo, Neck Pain & Headaches

I have been to many chiropractors over the last 20 years. I have been suffering from neck pain, headaches and vertigo for some time now. I met Dr. David about one month ago and have been his patient ever since. I knew the first time I met him there was something different about his technique. His multi-dimensional approach called B.E.S.T. is incredible and exactly what my body needs. It is very subtle, yet highly transformative and curative. He is the first chiropractor that has been able to adjust my neck with ease. He is able to relax me enough so that I don’t “grip” my neck before adjustments. I have felt so much better since getting treatments from Dr. David…no headaches or vertigo. My neck is feeling better every day. I highly recommend Dr.David for chiropractic care. He is beyond a chiropractor, he is a true healer on many levels!

Safe & Gentle Relief  With B.E.S.T.

I have known Dr. David for about 7 yrs.  I initially became aquainted with him when he took classes at my yoga school.  I learned he was a Chiropractor and I went to see him the first time after I woke up with neck pain.  I liked his treatments very much.  They were unlike the “hard” adjustments that I was familiar with and had gotten from other Chiropractors in the past (which I don’t like very much) .  Each session was different -- sometimes Dr. David did only physical manipulations and sometimes he did more subtle ‘energy type’ work called B.E.S.T., and sometimes, he did a bit of each, but whatever he did, I always felt better after my sessions with him.  Dr. David eventually moved his practice up to Encinitas (which is quite a ways for me to drive) but I continue to drive there to see him.  Because I like the work that he does, I am comfortable with him and I feel safe putting my spine in his hands -- which is something I cannot say about some of the other chiropractors that I’ve seen in my life.  I totally trust Dr. David and the work he does.

Enlightenment Through B.E.S.T.

I have been seeing Dr. David for three years. What started as adjustments for an injury is now monthly tune-ups. In the beginning, I thought his method of using “BEST” probably worked fine for some people, but certainly not for me. Through Dr. David’s patience and gentle persuasion, I have finally come around and now fully realize what he’s been trying to teach me all along — that our health and well being are directly related to our state of mind and emotions. I was resistant, but I finally get it. I truly appreciate Dr. David’s wisdom, commitment and skill.

Flying High Without Back Pain or Medication

My name is Dora and I first came to Dr. David because of pain in my lower back. The problem slowly began and occurred over a period of 4 years. I had seen three different chiropractors before meeting Dr. David, and felt that it had cost me both my time and money without reaching the results I had been expecting. The back pain did not allow me to sit for more than one hour at a time or perform aerobic exercise and I used thermal patches in order to cope with the discomfort. I had trouble sleeping, was experiencing anxiety and had been taking medication for Osteoporosis (bone loss). Since I began care in March of 2007 I have felt an increase in my overall health and confidence that my care is in good hands. Presently I have stopped taking any medications. I am able to exercise and have sat comfortably during flights of 10 hours long with out any pain as well!
Thank you Dr. David.

B.E.S.T. Migraine Solution

My name is Dorothy S. Prior to when I first came to see Dr. David I had two very bad experiences with chiropractors. I found finally that when they claim to be “Wellness” chiropractors then they are indeed concerned for your health.  Sometime when I was around 8 years of age I had gotten bucked off a horse and in those days if you got up and walked then they assumed you were fine. After a period of about 12 years I began to get migraine headaches which would leave me up all night praying to die. I tried various methods of healing and still found no relief.   I proceeded to waste two years with two different “sports therapy” chiropractors before I found Dr. David. With his adjustments I do not get the stomach sickness, or dizziness, very little motion sickness and almost no back pain. I also do not get the neck pain and cramping of neck muscles I used to get. And still NO migraines!! And with his use of B.E.S.T. (Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique) energy work he was eliminating the emotional trauma to my body that I had buried from childhood abuse.  Dr. David truly has your whole health in mind when he treats you!  Thank you again, Dr. David for helping me become healthy.

Allergies, Cold & Flu Problems Solved Without Drugs

Early in October of 2005, I was introduced to Dr. David. At that time, my overall health was a major concern as I was continually plagued by allergies and chronic pain. Despite being a Yoga instructor and taking great care of my body, I realized I still needed help.  Through regular visits I would have to say that I’ve noticed a major shift in my entire being. Not only are my allergies not nearly as much of an issue but I haven’t been majorly ill this winter season at all. Last year I was chronically sick. My body also feels incredibly balanced and free from discomfort.  My 5-year-old daughter has been receiving care as well and she also has avoided any major cold or flu this year. We are happy to say that we are both thriving.   I would highly recommend Dr. David. He has an amazing touch that has helped our bodies to recover and heal naturally. The future definitely looks and feels bright!

Surgical Candidate Gets Life Back

My name is Linda H. I had been diagnosed by an orthopedic surgeon who told me to stay on crutches and bed rest until I was able to schedule surgery. I was told to expect a long recuperation period, so I needed to get things in order. I met Dr. David eight weeks into my diagnosis. I was using crutches, canes, or just staying home. After the first week {actually sooner} I was able to walk straight, without help of any kind. The relief from the pressure that my spine and back had to endure while walking with canes and crutches was amazing, and I have not used them since. I am walking, swimming, and enjoying doing yoga once again. I now have my life back, and I am so happy because I have so much more in life to do and enjoy.   Dr. David is the first Doctor in 54 years that actually works with me {hands on, literally} and heals my body – Thank You Dr. David!

Chronic Hip & Shoulder Pain Relieved Naturally

I was referred to Dr. David by a personal friend who was getting great results. I first came because my hip was out of alignment, my shoulder ached constantly and I had a tweaked knee from running.   My problems started from running and doing artwork at an easel. I had my hip problem for 15 years and my shoulder ache for 10 years. I had used Advil to cope with the pain. I had never really seen anyone about it because I thought it couldn’t get better and that I would have to live with it forever. Dr. David’s adjustments started to bring about daily relief almost right away.  After four weeks I could actually bend down and tie my shoes without pain and my shoulder is better almost all the time now.  I can now perform activities that I couldn’t before – like working at my easel, tying my shoes and bending over and I no longer take Advil.  I am feeling more positive and I am especially happy because I feel hope for the first time that all issues are being resolved on a deep cellular level.  I really didn’t know when I first went to Dr. David that I had any real issues or concerns. After a few treatments I realized that I was just ignoring those things that I should have been able to do on a daily basis.  I feel my emotional issues are being addressed as well on all levels. I feel like a new life and new perspective are emerging as I continue with the treatments for back up and support.   Thank you Dr. David from the bottom of my heart.

B.E.S.T. For Mental Clarity & Emotional Freedom

Thank you Dr. David for the incredible work that you do! As an alternative health care practitioner, nutritional consultant and EPFX/SCIO operator, it is my life’s work and mission to advise other people about health and wellness. So, the person I see for care would need to be the best, and, you sir, are the best Chiropractor I have ever seen!   My chronic low back and neck imbalances are truly a thing of the past, thanks to your superlative care, and your nutritional recommendations are always spot on. Only by addressing the energetic causation, can spinal misalignment truly be corrected, and your expert use of the B.E.S.T. (Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique) approach has made a world of difference in my life.   But, perhaps, the biggest results under your care have come from releasing unconscious mental scripts and programming. Our last session before my two-week meditation retreat was HUGE, and I have no doubt that it greatly facilitated my positive experiences there.   Your passion for health, commitment to excellence and energetic sensitivity truly place you in a class that is without equal.  I am blessed to be under the care of Dr. David.  Life feels great when the power’s on!

Seeing Better With B.E.S.T.

Sixteen years ago my eyes were tested by an optometrist and it was discovered that my eyes were 10 times dryer than the average individual. Over that time period I have used eye drops to relieve the excessive dryness and the subsequent redness and irritation caused by my condition. After my initial session with Dr. David, my eyes began to water on their own and after the second visit I have experienced complete relief. Both sessions were purely B.E.S.T. (Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique); my body did not want or ask for any physical adjustments.  Through regular visits I’ve experienced improvements in body and mind health that I hadn’t considered possible through chiropractic care.

A Senior Moment With Dr. David

I came to Dr. David as an adjunct to improve my overall health. I am 72 years old and I live alone. I had never had chiropractic treatments before. I am in the process of embracing holistic health care so I was open to trying it.  I am very pleased with Dr. David and his health care treatment. I am more in alignment and have a greater sense of what a healthy body, mind and spirit is like.  Thank you Dr. David for you individualized care and interest in maintaining my healthy status.  I am very grateful for our partnership in my health care.

Vitality & Total Health Returns

I have been seeing Dr. David consistently since May of 2007 after meeting him at the Encinitas Street Fair. At the time of my first exam I did not have any chief complaints or back pain and was, to a large degree, negligent of my physical health. After reviewing my initial scan and receiving education from Dr. David, I came to fully understand the importance and necessity of consistent chiropractic care.  In the last four months I have experienced increased circulation, greater mobility in my hips and shoulders, increased balance, more consistent energy, a decrease in anxiety, and an improvement in my eyesight! I had also been hospitalized for pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) twice in the past four years and had experienced regular symptoms of the “dis-ease;” I have not had any symptoms since beginning care with Dr. David.  I want to recognize Dr. David for his commitment to the people he cares for and his sincere interest in their well-being. He truly believes in his work and embodies the wellness that chiropractic care provides. Thank you Dr. David for all that you have facilitated in my path to great health and vitality.
