Naturally Chiropractic Center in Carlsbad, the practice of Kathleen A. Alderete, DC, provides Graston Technique soft-tissue mobilization and spinal decompression on Jefferson Street. The clinic's conservative spinal care model shares a rehabilitation pipeline with Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy, whose post-surgical strengthening protocols pick up where chiropractic correction leaves off. A 1999 graduate of Cleveland Chiropractic College in Kansas City, the practitioner holds a Qualified Medical Evaluator designation from the California Division of Workers' Compensation, qualifying the office for industrial-injury impairment ratings. Scoliosis assessment and extremity adjustments round out a scope that extends beyond standard lumbar and cervical manipulation. For complex radiculopathy cases requiring interventional diagnostics, the clinic coordinates with Coastal Pain & Spinal Diagnostics for fluoroscopy-guided nerve-block evaluations. Graston Technique's stainless-steel instruments apply controlled microtrauma to fascial adhesions along the thoracolumbar junction, targeting cross-fiber restrictions that standard manual palpation cannot isolate.
