Gina Illia at New Wave Chiropractic Center

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! I was rear ended over a year ago because someone was texting on their phone. It resulted in totaling my car and resulting in herniated discs to my neck. I had been in pain off/​on for a year, with numbness down my right arm, tingling in my elbow and into my little finger. It was impacting my workouts, my job, my life! The two Neurologists I went to both wanted to do epidural injections and the thought of putting a needle into my neck/​spine scared me to death! Luckily I moved nearby and found Dr Gina! Dr Gina is the BEST chiropractor I have seen yet… after our initial visit, I returned to her not only explaining everything to me, but outlining a plan to get me feeling better. In 3 months, and will Dr Paul’s help, I have had an 80% improvement — the numbness/​tingling is gone, my workouts have resumed and I feel 100% better. We still have some work to do, but when trying to close the case on the guy who hit me, even my attorneys couldn’t believe the improvement, to the detriment of my case, which I am so thankful for! Thank you Dr Gina, Dr Paul and the New Wave team in giving me my life back!

I have been coming to New Wave for about a year now. I could not be happier with the level of care Dr. Gina provides. She is an incredibly talented chiropractor and an amazing person! I always feel 10x better after getting an adjustment by her. Highly recommend!

Dr. Gina is amazing!!! I’ve been to many chiropractors and non of them can top the knowledge or the adjustments that Dr. Gina provides. I highly recommend New wave chiropractic to anyone and everyone!

Dr. Gina is awesome! She is such a great compliment to Dr. Paul. Their knowledge, care and personal attention far exceeds any standard you would expect. I have been under the care of Dr. Gina and Dr. Paul for just over a year now and have seen remarkable improvement. Thank you for everything New Wave Chiropractic!

I have been going to Dr. Gina (and Dr. Paul) at New Wave Chiropractic Center for just over three months and I couldn’t be happier.
Dr. Gina has been an integral piece to my healing process– THANK YOU DR. G! Dr. Gina and Dr. Paul are the first two chiropractors I have ever been to. It took over 12 years to finally go to a chiropractor after years of dull pain stemming from a really bad car accident when I was 16. I was extremely apprehensive to begin treatment of any kind, but the warm & welcoming nature of everyone in the office made it so easy.
Both doctors are extremely knowledgeable, informative, and motivating. They provide thorough, individualized care to each patient and constantly check in on their healing process, maybe offering exercises to help, positive feedback or something new to try. Their adjustments are gentle yet effective (and blissful). The office has newer technology while still keeping an inviting & positive space. Everyone at NWC is super helpful, friendly & professional.
I recommend Dr. Gina, and the entire NWC team, to everyone I know. I’m thankful to find a quality healthcare professional that I trust. Thanks for being you!

I have been going to Dr Gina for 6 months, I was rear ended in my truck from a texting drunk driver. The care and positive atmosphere is amazing. I would definitely recommend her to everyone. I can honestly say that she changed my life. Everyone in the office is caring and professional.
Thank you so much.

Dr. Gina is an outstanding chiropractor who is full of knowledge about human body and spine. Just like Dr. Paul she teaches and follows a very healthy lifestyle.
I went to New Wave Chiropractic Center after suffering a very bad car accident. Dr. Gina along with Dr. Paul worked on my banged-​up body right away and with in few months I felt very positive result and improvement on my back.
During that period, she also taught me on how to take care of my spine, maintaining a good body posture and eating low inflammation diet that has long-​term benefits on human body.
They both have a very positive energy and the center itself has a very good vibe.
I would highly recommend Dr. Gina and Dr. Paul if you want to cure your spine or back, learn more about your spine and a lifestyle that will help your back and the entire body for really longtime.

I went just for the consultation and was instantly impressed by everything. The waiting room is so inviting, staff is really nice, and the Drs… my jaw dropped I was so impressed!!! Dr Paul did my exam and instantly noticed things so quickly from me just standing like normal.
They are also up to date on technology so that also impressed me. Can’t wait to go back. I would recommend this office and these Drs to anyone!!! If your wondering if you should… GO NOW!!! You WON’T be disappointed!

Wow why did I take so long to find this place! I am elated to find such a thorough doctor! I enjoyed how thorough he was in answering all of my questions. This is all new to me so to find out at 30 how messed up my spine and rib cage and neck are I am grateful to be in the hands of a doctor that cares n pays attention to the details!!! I will recommend them to everyone and anyone!

I am 32 weeks pregnant and I have been seeing Gina at new wave chiropractic for the past few months. I just went today and it made me feel so great! Before I went in today my tailbone and back were feeling pretty stiff. I actually saw Gina’s husband today, Dr. Paul, and he was great too! I think chiropractic care has been an important factor in keeping my good health through my pregnancy. My baby remains in the best position for birth, and she kicks when I go to the chiropractor, so I think baby likes it too. Thanks Gina and Paul!

I have been visiting Dr. Illia for two years now. I feel my review can be extensive enough to describe just about everything.
I’m like grumpy cat. Nothing much amuses me. I read people all too well and can call the bull card.
Before I met Dr. Illia I was a very angry and frustrated individual due to my scoliosis and constant headaches. To top it off now I was pregnant and had to deal with the awesome pain of having to carry my LO in the womb. My last pregnancy was not fun at all. I searched for help immediately and I found her through a website, she helps preggers… Kids… All sorts of people of any age! I thought… Why not? I’ll give her a try.
She’s located off Palomar Airport Road, in a office right next to a restaurant in this two story building. Parking is iffy. Her office is welcoming and she not only treats adults but also children as well! She will have toys for the tots as the parent is adjusted.
As for Doctor herself… The moment I met her she put me at ease. She worked her Dr. Illia magic that only she can work. At first I was hesitant but she knew all I needed was good care. She really knows how to work with you and she actually has everything she needs to treat you immediately.
If I can describe Dr. Illia, she’s one of those doctors you always see in movies that is the «family doctor» that everyone runs to immediately with a problem. That’s her only flaw… That she’s not a doctor of ALL and everything!!! That’s my only peeve.
Back to the topic at hand… She helped me so much with my pregnancy. I was under a lot of stress with my scoliosis and every time I went over to get adjusted I felt like I was walking on air. A true feeling of joy and bliss. I felt like a butterfly or a person who just took a hit of acid. I felt heavenly. She is what kept me from having my baby early. She helped ease the stress with her relaxing adjustments.
I had a very big baby girl and she was breached and refusing to get in position for her exit to the real world but Dr. Illia adjusted me and helped my LO go into the correct position.
After baby. She would adjust my family and myself. We would all leave in bliss and joy each time. I’ve never had a bad time, and with each and every visit I’ve never seen her without a smile.
I’ve never met another doctor who is beyond excellent at her job. If you are looking for a personable and comforting chiropractor who will actually adjust you and put you at ease… Then this is it. You’ve reached the place. Pricey… But it’s worth your $$$.

Gina is AMAZING! Love her to pieces. She works with your issues and helps relieve any pain you might be having. Highly recommend this practice!

Gina is such a talented chiropractor, she takes her time and really knows what she is doing. I feel so fortunate to have her in my medical arsenal. She is not the typical «just get it done» «in and out» of the office chiropractor, she is methodical, and results driven. Honestly, I cant say enough good about her, don’t hesitate; go meet her for yourself. I always feel so much better after seeing her!

Three years ago, I attended a Women’s Expo at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. At the time, I had been having severe headaches and shoulder pain for the last two years that medication was no longer working. Stopped at her booth and asked a few questions. She explained several things that might be happening and invited me to come by her office for a free evaluation.
Well, one treatment, and the pain was immediately gone! I do return for follow up visits (or :“tune ups” as I call it!) and has kept the headaches away.
I drive to her Carlsbad office from the IE. Yes, there are other chiropractors nearby, but none as warm, friendly, and caring as Dr. Gina! If you’ve had lingering pain and tried everything else (which I did!), make an appointment to see her… she will work her magic and you’ll feel so much better!

I am so happy that I found Dr. Gina on Unilocal!
I was having pain in my shoulder, neck and upper chest area and massages were not enough to keep me comfortable. I was also having annoying headaches.
As soon as I walked into the beautiful office, I felt relaxed. The entire staff is professional, friendly and energetic!
Dr. Gina took the time to listen and she talked through the chiropractic process. I had several questions and she answered each of them thoroughly with a smile on her face. She then took x-​rays and did a nerve scan on me and explained the results.

After 1 month, I felt significantly better, the pain was gone! As an added bonus, the headaches were also gone.
I am continuing to go at least once a week for maintenance. Thank you, Dr. Gina! Not only do I appreciate you helping me feel better, but I appreciate all of the health tips as well. I always feel happier and healthier when I visit the office.

I really miss Dr. Illia. Vacation time well spent! Can I clone you please? I have been seeing her for a while and was truly lucky to make her acquaintance at a Women’s expo a while back. Now if I could only convince her to move to Virginia Beach. Not only is she a genuine person, she is truly good at what she does.

I love Dr. Gina. She has great techniques for shoulder pain that significantly helped where other chiros have never touched the pain. Not to mention that her attitude is just a pleasure to be around. Highly recommended!

I love going to see Gina. She has a warm and welcoming personality that makes my adjustment sessions feel like going to go see a friend not just my chiropractor. I walk out feeling better and looking forward to my next appointment. I wish I could give 10 stars.

I was happily greeted on the phone to make my appointment (the next day), and the Unilocal deal saved me over 50% on my first visit!
When I arrived Gina welcomed me with a cheery smile and explained my intake ppwk thoroughly and offered me a bottle water. The office is very clean and pleasant.
Gina did a EMG scan on my spine, took X-​rays, then thoroughly explained what was out of alignment. It was really nice to visually see what was going on in my body! She explained what she would be adjusting and was gentle yet effective.
I will definitely refer others to Gina as I had a great experience overall with her.

I have been a patient of Dr. Illia since she was a student in Chiropractic College and
highly recommend her! As a professional who spends 9+ hours sitting at a desk each day, I have noticed a significant reduction in my headaches and back pain and improvement in my posture from her chiropractic care! Dr. Illia is very intuitive and attentive in her treatment, and I always leave feeling a tremendous amount of relief.
She is professional and knowledgeable, and does a great job of explaining everything to make sure patients have a strong understanding of the care they’re receiving. She also creates a very comfortable environment and tailors treatment plans to meet the needs of each patient.
In addition to providing me with many adjustments over the years, Dr. Illia has given me countless recommendations and advice for improving my overall lifestyle and wellness. If you’re looking for a great chiropractor, check her out!
