About

The Natural Path is a chiropractic and osteopathic practice at 12865 Pointe Del Mar Way, Suite 170, Del Mar, CA 92014, led by Dr. Jennifer Habchi, DC. Dr. Habchi began her career at the Institut Dauphine d'Ostéopathie in Paris, where she studied for five years and graduated as a licensed osteopath practitioner, serving as the primary provider for an adult rugby team during her internship. She moved to the United States in 2014 and earned her Doctor of Chiropractic with honors from Life Chiropractic College West in the Bay Area, graduating in 2020. This dual European and American training gives Dr. Habchi rare proficiency in both Sacro Occipital Technique chiropractic adjustments and European-style osteopathy, which integrates cranial therapy, myofascial release, and visceral manipulation to address the body as a whole rather than isolated symptoms. She specializes in treating athletes, TMJ disorders, and at-risk adults who require gentle-release techniques, and her diagnostic process analyzes posture, kinetic muscle chains, neurosensory organs, and proprioception to identify the true source of dysfunction. The women-owned practice has operated in this location since 2020, sharing the Pointe Del Mar Way building with Dermatology & Laser of Del Mar, where board-certified dermatologist Dr. Deborah Atkin has practiced cosmetic and general dermatology since 2004. The Natural Path also continues a tradition established by Dr. Jeffrey Mersky, DC, who spent decades at the same address and earned Advanced Practice Chiropractic Medicine certification, one of only 400 chiropractors nationally to hold that credential. Google reviewers consistently praise the detailed, unhurried appointments and the fact that Dr. Habchi educates patients on self-care between visits. The practice accepts credit and debit cards and NFC mobile payments. Hours are Monday and Wednesday from 9 AM to 5 PM, Tuesday and Thursday from 9 AM to 5 PM, and Friday from 9 AM to 1 PM. Patients working through rehabilitation alongside chiropractic adjustments often coordinate care with SpineZone Physical Therapy in Del Mar for a combined approach to spinal recovery. Wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking are available, and the clinic's integration of French osteopathic philosophy with American chiropractic science offers a treatment experience rarely found in San Diego County.
