Joni Stier, LAc, DC practices dual-licensed chiropractic and acupuncture in Carlsbad at 1015 Chestnut Avenue, holding both a Doctor of Chiropractic degree and a Master of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine credential with NCCAOM board certification. The Sacro-Occipital Technique she employs is a non-force method that uses patient body weight for spinal correction, a gentle approach that complements the craniosacral and somatic bodywork offered at Forte Holistic Therapies. Treatment plans integrate Western nutritional supplementation with Eastern medicinal herbs to address root causes of headaches, digestive disorders, joint pain, and anxiety rather than masking isolated symptoms. Suite B3 anchors a Village-area integrative practice serving Carlsbad, Encinitas, and Oceanside within the 92008 ZIP. Mind-body recovery pathways extend to movement-based therapies at Carlsbad Village Yoga, whose breathwork and flexibility sequences support the spinal alignment corrections achieved through SOT adjustments. SOT Category II protocols position foam wedge blocks beneath the pelvis at precisely calculated vectors, using gravitational load across a 5–7 minute hold to normalize sacroiliac joint mechanics without manual thrust.
