Our story
A North County clinic built on what we wished other clinics did.
Pacific Spine & Rehab opened in Oceanside in 2013. We started the practice because the standard chiropractic model — book the visit, get adjusted, rebook — skips the part that actually changes outcomes: the rehab and the plan.
From day one we integrated active rehab, spinal decompression, and shockwave therapy alongside chiropractic care. We added the Carlsbad (Bressi Ranch) office in 2019 to make that same standard of care reachable for patients south of the 78.
We're independently owned, family-run, and not part of a franchise. The doctors who treat you are the doctors who own the practice — which is why our plans are honest, our timelines are realistic, and our patients come back with their families.
Why patients choose us
Six reasons we hear most from new patients.
Same-day appointments
Walk in with pain in the morning, leave with a written plan that afternoon — most weekdays.
Two convenient locations
Oceanside on Vista Way (two minutes off the 5) and Carlsbad in Bressi Ranch. Same team, same protocols.
Insurance & lien accepted
Most major plans accepted. Auto-accident and personal-injury cases treated on lien — no out-of-pocket while your case resolves.
Personalized treatment plans
Every plan is written, dated, and explained. No mystery rebooks, no surprise upsells.
Integrated care model
Chiropractic, decompression, shockwave, and rehab — under one roof so we don't pass you between offices.
Modern rehabilitation
Active rehab is built into every plan. The point isn't the visit — it's the outcome that lasts after care ends.
Meet the team
Doctors, therapists, and staff across both offices.
Combined, our team has more than 70 years of clinical experience treating spine, joint, and soft-tissue injuries across North County San Diego.

Our approach
Care that fixes the cause, not the symptom.
Our treatment philosophy is simple: combine the modalities the evidence supports, do them well, and stop when you don't need us anymore.
Chiropractic care
Targeted adjustments and joint mobilization to restore motion where it's been lost — never a forced 'crack everything' approach.
Active rehabilitation
Movement-based rehab is the part that makes the gains last. Every plan includes a short home program and progressions you can actually do.
Shockwave therapy
When stretching and rest stop helping chronic tendon or fascia pain, acoustic-wave therapy restarts true tissue healing.
Movement correction
We look at the posture, gait, and work setup that drove the injury. Fixing the input is what prevents the relapse.
Long-term recovery
We taper visits as you improve and discharge to a maintenance schedule — not an open-ended membership.
Coordinated care
We work alongside your PT, primary care, or attorney when needed. You stay in the loop on every referral and note.
What care looks like
From your first call to your last visit.
A clear path, in six honest steps. No mystery, no high-pressure rebooking, no surprise bills.
- 01
Listen
We start with your story — when it started, what makes it worse, what you've already tried.
- 02
Examine
A thorough exam, movement screen, and review of any imaging or prior records you bring.
- 03
Plan
We walk you through a written treatment plan, expected timeline, and how billing will work.
- 04
Treat
Hands-on chiropractic, spinal decompression, shockwave, and soft-tissue work — used in the right combination.
- 05
Recover
Active rehab and corrective exercise so the gains stick after care wraps up.
- 06
Maintain
Open-ended check-ins as needed — never a forced long-term contract.
