Burger, DC has brought elite sports medicine credentials to Pacific Beach for over four decades from 1300 Grand Ave, San Diego, CA 92109.

Dr. Burger holds both a Chiropractic Sports Physician certification and a Diplomate in Applied Kinesiology, the highest academic achievement in that specialty. Athletes recovering from injuries often combine chiropractic sessions here with rehabilitation at ASIS Physical Therapy, Pacific Beach, located nearby. The practice, known as San Diego Sports Medicine Chiropractic Clinic, sits at the corner of Grand Avenue and Fanuel Street and also features Dr. Cecilia Magos on staff. Throughout his career, Dr. Burger has served as team doctor for university track and field programs, cross-country teams, and professional triathletes. The clinic uses Applied Kinesiology as its primary diagnostic method, evaluating the body’s structural, chemical, and neurological systems through muscle testing to treat conditions from lower back pain and sciatica to herniated discs and shoulder injuries. Patients looking to maintain their gains between adjustments can keep active at San Diego Fit in Pacific Beach. The office is wheelchair accessible and accepts most insurance plans.
