Dr. Marian is the absolute best! I had an incredible adjustment with her in a beautiful location in Big Bear. The view was stunning, and the whole atmosphere was so calming. I was a bit nervous since I'd never seen a chiropractor before, but Dr. Marian made me feel extremely comfortable right away. She talked me through everything with so much care and clarity, and I felt completely at ease on the table. Her expertise is evident in the way she works; it's clear she has a vast knowledge base and a real healing touch. I left feeling so much more balanced, especially in my cervical and thoracic vertebrae. It was an extremely powerful experience, and I'm incredibly grateful. If you're looking for a chiropractor, Dr. Marian is the one to see!

I’ve been struggling with headaches and migraines since 2022, rarely going a week without at least one. Fast-forward to 2025—I get into a car accident, and the headaches worsen. Thankfully, I was connected with Dr. Freddy and the team at The Source and had my initial visit about a week later. Upon meeting him, I was welcomed with warmth, enthusiasm, and a level of genuine care that’s rare to find in healthcare today. The entire process felt tailored to me, and his examination was thorough.

Dr. Freddy’s adjustments are skillful, delivered with finesse and precision. Each one leaves my body feeling at ease and full of life, and I’ve noticed a real shift in how I adapt to stress and my surroundings. After just my second adjustment, my headaches were gone! Nearly two months later, I’ve only had one, and I never realized how much of a difference it would make in my daily life to be free from constant headaches. So grateful for everything you do, Dr. Freddy—thank you!

I’ve received treatment from Dr. Freddy for a couple of months and he has done wonders to unlock parts of my body that were aching. He is consistent and has a holistic approach to the healing he provides. Additionally, Manolo at the front desk is warm, friendly and accommodating. I am very happy to be receiving services from The Source and its amazing staff.

Was I skeptical at first about coming here? Yes.
Did I think the doctor was going to snap my neck too hard just like they do in the movies? Absolutely!

But I went and all of this changed. My chiropractor was (and still is) patient, explained what he was doing and slowly eased his way towards the scary neck part. I honestly look forward to coming here and I won’t dare to think of life without this in my routine. All of the chiropractors are fantastic but Dr. Freddy is solid gold! And Dr. Brenden (former Iron Man) is hilarious!

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr Brian, he was amazing. He educated me on so much that was going on with my body. He was also very humble and personable to talk with. I really enjoyed how calming he is. How my body felt with my first adjustment today!! I would definitely recommend seeing him!!!

Returning to get consistent care at the Source has been a saving grace. I always leave feeling better than when I first came in whether it’s physically mentally or emotionally. Dr. Freddy is such an amazing Doctor you can tell by his adjustment being so precise and skillful. After experiencing lots of trauma in my upper cervicles I was concerned about his ability to adjust my neck and I was quite scared to be honest but I was so impressed once again by his ability to deliver such a smooth adjustment. My nervous system feels so well regulated after receiving care from the Source Chiropractic. I feel so much love every time I come in!!

***This place saved my life***
I cannot express how grateful I am for Dr. Collins-Bride and the whole team here at The Source Chiropractic!
I originally had some skepticism surrounding chiropractors in general since I had a prior negative experience many years ago at a different practice. Now, I highly recommend chiropractic treatment to anyone and everyone!!! I previously had back surgery when I was 18 years old and now, 10+ years later, my disc was herniated once again. The pain and exhaustion I experienced affected every single aspect of my life and I was at a breaking point. Luckily, we were able to find Dr. Collins-Bride through a mutual friend and he changed my life. My personalized treatment plan was very detailed (with progress videos!) and included regular check-ins with longer one-on-one sessions (see below). More than half-way through my treatment plan, I suffered an injury on the job and was completely devastated. Dr. Collins-Bride was so quick to adjust (pun intended 😊) my existing plan to accommodate my ultimate health goals post-injury.
I paid for my original treatment plan upfront and I was not pressured to pay for my adjusted plan until my pre-paid sessions were completed. The majority of my appointments were held in the beautiful open floor plan- this can be intimidating at first, but once you’re on the table it is more comfortable than you would think! The calming music is just loud enough that you can relax and also ensure conversation privacy between patients even though you may physically be in close proximity to one another.
The friendly staff are very accommodating in all aspects- especially when it comes to scheduling appointments! They are very understanding and will work with you to do whatever it takes to ensure you stay on track and continue through your health journey, whatever it may be. I felt so supported by everyone in the practice; physically, mentally and emotionally. This is genuinely a safe space. They will truly help you heal in every way; body, mind and soul.

Please note: Dr. Collins-Bride is my main provider but due to scheduling conflicts I have been personally seen/adjusted by Dr. Garcia (Freddy) and Dr. Trowbridge (Mara) as well! They were all very professional and knew my name/read my file so they knew exactly what I was going through/my treatment plan and still gave me the care and attention that Dr. Collins-Bride has always shown me.

Finding Marian at the beginning of my dance journey was an absolute blessing. I’d been dealing with intense back pain that took me off the dance floor, which was devastating because dance means so much to me. From my first adjustment, I felt instant relief and noticed a incredible change over time. Marian went above and beyond the average adjustment by also giving me exercises to keep my body balanced and strong, helping me reach a place of being pain-free much faster. Another point to note is that her level of empathy and attunement to energy made for the most relaxing and enjoyable experience. I truly came out every time feeling brand new. I felt her genuine care and investment in my healing every step of the way and am super grateful!
