About

Procare Sports Chiropractic in Grantville, San Diego, is the practice of Dr. Craig Cook, DC, at 6612 Mission Gorge Road, Suite B, in the 92120 ZIP along the commercial corridor connecting Mission San Diego de Alcala to Mission Trails Regional Park. A 1988 graduate of Los Angeles College of Chiropractic, Dr. Cook has practiced in San Diego for more than three decades and served as the team chiropractor for the San Diego Padres from 1997 through 2011. That MLB tenure included treating Hall of Fame outfielder Tony Gwynn and Hall of Fame closer Trevor Hoffman, and the sports-medicine foundation built during those years at San Diego Sports Medicine & Family Health Center on Mission Gorge shapes the clinic's current approach to athlete rehabilitation. Procare's multi-disciplinary model integrates chiropractic adjustment, therapeutic massage, acupuncture, and sports psychology under one roof, and Dr. Cook was one of only two chiropractors selected by Kaiser Permanente for the Kaiser-on-the-Job occupational health pilot program. Mission Gorge Road funnels weekend traffic between the Mission Trails trailhead and the Grantville brewery district, and the clinic treats trail runners, mountain bikers, and rock climbers who sustain overuse injuries on the park's granite terrain. Grantville's martial arts community generates a steady referral flow, and grapplers recovering from cervical and thoracic strain build their return-to-mat conditioning at 10th Planet San Diego Jiu Jitsu and Training Center on the same corridor. Dr. Cook's applied-kinesiology assessments use manual muscle testing to identify neuromuscular imbalances before adjusting, and the diversified technique applies targeted high-velocity corrections across cervical, thoracic, and lumbar segments calibrated to each athlete's sport-specific loading pattern.
