Elite Performance Institute

I sustained a sports (hockey) related injury almost 10 years ago. Since then, I have been to about a dozen different doctors but none that seemed to know as much as Dr. Mackay.
He immediately knew what to look for after I described to him my situation. He even educated me on what was happening and how to prevent it in the future. This type of care goes a long way.
I will definitely be visiting Dr. Mackay every few months to make sure my body is performing the way it should be. I HIGHLY recommend his services.

It is apparent to me that Dr. Mackay really cares about his patients. He takes a full body approach and makes suggestions for things you can do outside of his office to help even more (stretches, exercises, moist heat, etc). He also takes the time to get to know you and follows up on things you’ve talked about on previous visits (it sounds kind of crazy to point this out, but not everyone does this).
Dr. Mackay’s staff is lovely, too. They’re always friendly, even when it’s super early and no one’s had enough coffee yet. It’s possible to keep your credit or debit card on file, so getting out after your appointment is quick and easy and by the time you’re back in your car, the receipt has already been mailed to you.

Dr. MacKay is the best. He has consistently been my savior when I have had any issue from whiplash, neck, back, leg, etc. I recently injured my foot and leg over doing it at Lake Murray. After a week, my foot was becoming numb and i was experiencing vertigo because of a compressed nerve. I’m an outdoor person and i do tradeshows so not being able to walk (much less almost drive) was getting unbearable. Saw him yesterday and after two hours of treatment, the difference is amazing. He is kind, professional and really cares about his clients. His staff are also top notch. I always leave his office impressed.

Dr. Mackay is amazing. After a string of visits ot doctors, specialists, dentists, etc for my TMJ he was the only one who made my pain manageable. I came again recently after tweaking my neck and he got my range of motion and pain under control again within 2 visits. Hes a wonderful chiropractor and I am thrilled with the results.

Dr. Mackay is amazing. He helped me with a neck injury after an auto accident and now I am almost always pain free. I was told that I would never completely recover but he has helped me overcome that life sentence. He teaches me how to treat my body so that further damage will not occur. His staff are always helpful and friendly. Great, convenient locations. I highly recommend him to my friends and family.

Dr MacKay is professional and effective. In just two treatments, the pain in my back is GONE. He definitely knows his business and is very easy-​going, making those who might be a bit way of going to the chiropractor feel completely at ease.
I couldn’t recommend more!

After almost a year and a half of chronic back pain, and a recent injury attempting a yoga pose, I finally decided to see a chiropractor, and Dr. MacKay was recommended to me by two people I know from very diverse groups. Dr. MacKay was very practical, offering me ways to respond naturally to my body, suggesting simple equipment (like dowls and bands) that could help me in various ways. After a month, I wanted to try all this on my own, and his techniques and suggestions have really helped. Beyond this, his demeanor is casual yet knowledgeable giving me a lot of confidence in his suggestions. I plan on returning for «tuneups» just to make sure I’m on the right course — and maybe the Torrey Pines course :-)

Dr Mike and Dr Mackay rock! I’ve been seeing Dr Mike Wasilisin for 3 months now for some back and shoulder issues. I’ve lived in pain for quite some time now and before seeing them I was ready to give up and go for another surgery. The group over at
in Carlsbad have taught me new ways to care for myself by teaching me new ways to care for the injuries and also change my diet. There is no question that these guys are jacks of all trades and above all — they care for their patients and take a genuine interest in recovery and prevention. 5 stars, all the way.

I’m cured! OK, not exactly but Dr. MacKay has helped me out a lot. I came in with foot, hip and back issues (from running) and he not only aligned my back but figured out what my key issues were and showed me exercises to help me with the bigger picture. He is covered under my insurance but the co-​pays add up. I’d like to work him more often, but has given me the tools and info I need to improve my body and athletic performance myself. Because of him I can enjoy my running again!
