Doctors are absolutely the best! No appointments are needed and the prices are the best for chiropractic care we’ve found. We have been going regularly for a few months and couldn’t be happier. Definitely recommend.

Nicole R

The staff was super welcoming and knowledgeable. They actually track your progress and needs. In and out without interrupting your schedule. Each check in and super affordable. I highly recommend you support this business.

I have been on maintenance care for years & wished for a practice like NuSpine. The membership gives me up to 4 adjustments for $10 more than 1 adjustment at other practices. I have seen 2 of the doctors & had great results both times.

FAQ

How Can Chiropractic Care Help You?

Many people dismiss chiropractic as being something only for back pain, but in San Diego CA chiropractic treatment can be used to treat a wide variety of physical issues, such as migraines and headaches, chronic pain, carpal tunnel, pain due to injury or muscle strain, and much more.

The History of Chiropractic Care

The word “Chiropractic” is derived from the Greek words “cheir” (hand) and “praktos” (done) combined to mean “done by hand.” It was chosen by the developer of chiropractic care, Daniel David Palmer. In 1895, D.D. Palmer performed a chiropractic adjustment on a partially deaf janitor, Harvey Lillard, who later reported that his hearing had improved due to the change.

D.D. Palmer opened the first chiropractic school two years later, and in the century since, chiropractic professionals have used spinal adjustments to help people prevent and cope with back pain, carpal tunnel, muscle strain, headaches and migraines, and a variety of other physical ailments. Millions of people benefit from the work of Dr. Palmer today.

What Kind of Training Does a Chiropractor Have?

Chiropractic doctors go through a minimum of four years of schooling at a chiropractic college, generally preceded by an undergraduate degree in the basic sciences or several years of experience in a prior relevant health care field.

Students of chiropractic care must spend a minimum of at least 4,200 hours with their teacher, and a minimum of 1,000 hours of fully supervised clinical training with an instructor.
