About

David Chung, DPT provides orthopedic and sports rehabilitation in Chula Vista's Eastlake area through Sharp Rees-Stealy Otay Ranch, operating from the E Palomar Street medical campus. The clinic's sports-rehabilitation program treats running-related injuries including plantar fasciitis, IT-band syndrome, and stress fractures—conditions common among athletes fitted at Road Runner Sports on Eastlake Parkway. Sharp's integrated electronic health record system connects physical therapy notes directly to referring orthopedic surgeons and primary care physicians, ensuring coordinated treatment adjustments throughout recovery. Telehealth PT consultations are available through the Sharp system for follow-up visits, functional assessments, and home-exercise program modifications for patients across the Eastlake and Otay Ranch communities. The Otay Ranch rehabilitation suite manages acute sprains, joint dislocations, and soft-tissue injuries sustained during contact training at White Dragon Martial Arts and other combat-sport programs in the area. Treatment protocols include instrument-assisted soft-tissue mobilization, joint mobilization graded on the Maitland scale from I through V, and functional movement screen scoring to benchmark return-to-sport readiness.
