We offer a specialized blend of chiropractic care, soft tissue therapy, and functional rehabilitation designed to help your body move and heal naturally. Every service is rooted in precision, experience, and a commitment to long-term results, not quick fixes.
We’re proud to introduce Chattanooga® Focal Shock Wave Therapy to our practice, a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment designed to support faster recovery and long-lasting pain relief.
Focal Shock Wave Therapy has shown great success in treating conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon issues, tennis elbow, shoulder pain, runner’s knee, hip discomfort, and stubborn muscle spasms. It’s a safe alternative to injections, medication, or surgery, and a powerful addition to our physical therapy Santa Cruz and chiropractic services in Santa Cruz.
We know that most patients share three key goals: to understand what’s causing their pain, to receive skilled and effective care, and to prevent that pain from returning. Our chiropractic team, including Dr. Justin McLeod DC, Dr. Jorge Rosado DC, and Dr. Kelly Schweitzer DC, is committed to helping you achieve those goals with care rooted in clinical precision and real results.
Your healing begins with a thorough evaluation of posture, muscular balance, and movement. We assess for signs of tight or overactive muscles (hypertonicity) and weak or underactive muscles (hypotonicity) to pinpoint the source of your discomfort. Through functional movement screening (FMS or SFMA), we analyze your body’s mechanics and identify whether your pain stems from joint restrictions, muscle tension, fascial tightness, or neurologic movement dysfunction.
Once the cause is clear, we create a personalized treatment plan, combining chiropractic adjustments, muscle work, corrective exercises, and techniques such as shock wave therapy, deep tissue massage, or physical therapy. This holistic, evidence-based approach helps you restore function, reduce pain, and return to doing what you love.
Stress, injury, and poor posture can overload your body, but the right massage can help you reset, recover, and feel at ease again.
