Thomas Marinaro, D.C. attended Chiropractic school in Marietta, Ga where he finished four years and earned his Doctor in Chiropractic. He chose this school due to its philosophy & reputation in teaching a more diverse approach along with its skills in adjusting the human spine.

Dr. Marinaro comes from a family of Chiropractors. His dad TJ, graduated from NY Chiropractic college and was one of the first Chiropractors to practice in Rome, Italy. He remembers with pride & amazement on how the patients responded with satisfaction after an adjustment. Not to say the line of patients spilling into the streets waiting to get adjusted that had a great influence in Dr Marinaro’s decision to follow the same profession.

After completing his undergraduate in Italy, he then moved back to the States to pursue his studies in Chiropractic. After completing 4 years, instead of joining his dad in Rome who was holding the practice for him, he decided to join his brother in Los Angeles where they opened 3 offices & practiced together before selling the practices & then finally opening up on there own.

Dr. Marinaro has been practicing on 3rd & Sweetzer in Los Angeles, & W. Hollywood, Beverly Hills for the past 25 years. He joined a close MD friend from Harvard and attended and earned a Doctorate in Homeopathy which he incorporates along with rehabilitation, fitness, exercise & nutrition in his practice & approach to health & treatments of the spine & body.

Dr. Cayo grew up as the youngest in a family of four in the Hollywood Hills. As a gymnast, she valued discipline and good work ethic which served her in her personal and professional career. Her father was a doctor of anesthesiology who inspired Dr. Cayo to pursue a career in the medical field. At an early age, she had a gift for service. Dr. Cayo’s mother encouraged her to become a chiropractor instead of a physical therapist, so she went to San Diego State University and received her bachelor’s degree in biology.

In 1996, she graduated as cum laude from Cleveland Chiropractic College in Los Angeles. Working in several chiropractic offices, she acquired a tremendous amount of experience treating patients with various problems such as headaches, sports injuries, neck, and lower back pain.
