About

North Chiropractic in Encinitas's Old Encinitas district specializes in extremity and sports injury care on West E Street, led by Dr. Nancy North, a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP) and Advanced Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner (CCEP). With over forty years of clinical experience treating Olympic athletes and pro-rodeo circuit competitors, she applies the same biomechanical assessment framework used in elite sport to general orthopedic cases, a sports-medicine orientation that complements the movement training at Soul of Yoga. The women-owned practice relocated to Encinitas in 2022 after twenty-five years of international lecturing to chiropractors, neurosurgeons, orthopedists, and podiatrists on extremity injury diagnosis and treatment. Shoulder, knee, ankle, and wrist corrections address joint mechanics at the extremity level, reducing compensatory spinal misalignment and extending the duration between cervical and lumbar adjustments. Pre-surgical evaluation cases are co-managed with orthopedic groups such as Orthopaedic Specialists of North County when imaging reveals structural pathology beyond conservative correction. Custom orthotic fabrication addresses gait-cycle asymmetry and plantar pressure distribution to correct biomechanical chain dysfunction from the ground up through the pelvis and lumbar spine.
