About

Dr. Jennifer Stevens established Carlsbad Chiropractic Center on Grand Avenue in Carlsbad Village in 1997, the same year she graduated from the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic under California license DC25100. Cox-Flexion Distraction — a motorized table technique that applies cyclic distraction to decompress lumbar discs without manual thrust — anchors the practice's treatment of sciatica and herniated-disc cases, a spinal rehabilitation focus that connects to the pain-psychology support at Kealoha Psychology. Additional techniques include Activator instrument-assisted adjustment for force-sensitive patients, Diversified manual thrust for mid-back fixation, and Drop Table segmental correction for pelvic and sacroiliac dysfunction. In-office services extend beyond adjustment to include acupuncture, therapeutic massage, diagnostic ultrasound, and electrical muscle stimulation for post-injury neuromuscular re-education. Auto-accident cases under MedPay and personal-injury liens receive coordinated documentation for orthopedic referral, a pathway shared with the interventional spine program at Derrington Orthopedics. The most involved disc cases combine Cox-Flexion Distraction at 3–5 cycles per segment with interferential electrical stimulation at 4,000 Hz carrier frequency to reduce intradiscal pressure and inhibit pain-gate transmission simultaneously.
