About

Since 1990, Carlsbad Chiropractic on Roosevelt Street in Carlsbad Village has treated spinal conditions, auto-accident injuries, and chronic pain through joint manipulation, DTS spinal decompression, and in-house massage therapy. The practitioner graduated from Pasadena College of Chiropractic in 1989 and passed National Board and California State Board examinations in 1990, building a three-decade caseload that includes disc herniations, sciatica, and post-surgical rehabilitation alongside the soft-tissue recovery work at Elements Massage - South Carlsbad. Electrical muscle stimulation, therapeutic ultrasound, and heat therapy complement manual adjustments to reduce inflammation and accelerate tissue repair between office visits. The Suite 100 office sits steps from Carlsbad Village Drive and the Carlsbad Farmers Market, serving the Village's residential and tourist populations. Pre- and post-surgery spinal management protocols coordinate with the sports-medicine rehabilitation at ProActive Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine for patients transitioning from surgical recovery to active care. DTS decompression sessions apply graduated negative intradiscal pressure to retract herniated nucleus pulposus material, cycling between distraction and relaxation phases over 20-to-30-minute treatment intervals.
