Elevated Chiropractic

Elevated Chiropractic My practice specializes in sports medicine and rehabilitation in addition to traditional chiropractic care. I want to get you back to doing what you love!

Treatments consist of chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue therapy. Because of my post-graduate study and certifications, I am proud to offer Graston Technique and Kinesio taping as treatment options. I am also quite comfortable and confident treating extremity injuries in addition to spinal injuries. My goals are eliminating symptoms, improving function and returning people back to what they enjoy most. Since not everyone is the same, not all treatments should be either. Using a variety of techniques and modalities, I will tailor a plan specific to each individual so you can get maximum benefit. In addition to working at my office, I am also an official UCSD chiropractor working with their student athletes in the athletic training room on campus. Certifications:
Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Practitioners (The highest level of chiropractic sports medicine study.) Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist
M1 Graston Technique Certified
Certified Kinesio Tape Pracitioner
CPR and First Aid Certified


I began my practice a few years out of chiropractic school after working in a family chiropractic setting. I wanted to focus more on sports injuries and rehabilitation so I initially worked out of the Gold's Gym Wellness Center. As my practice got busier, I felt it was time to move to a newer, larger practice. I treat all of my patients like they are athletes since everyone has something they want to get back to whether it's playing an elite sport or playing with their grandkids. I look forward to working with you and reaching your goals....whatever they are!

✅It’s important to schedule regular visits with your chiropractor as opposed to waiting until you are injured and can’t stand!

👍🏻Regular, planned adjustments, exercises, and lifestyle adjustments to maintain spinal alignment, improve nervous system function, and prevent injuries or chronic pain before they begin.

👍🏻Regular Adjustments through routine visits (often every 4-6 weeks) detect and correct minor misalignments, before they cause pain or stiffness.

👍🏻Constant posture checking and core exercises are important, but follow-ups with your health provider offer a routine for staying spine healthy!!!!

Is your mattress ruining your spine… but in a ✨subtle✨ way?

Welcome to The Goldilocks Dilemma 🐻
Too firm? Too soft? Or juuust right?

Because here’s the truth 👇
Your mattress might be the reason you’re waking up with:
😩 low back pain
😴 stiff neck
🔄 hip tightness
🤕 “I slept wrong” syndrome

Your spine LOVES neutral alignment — not sagging like a hammock or stiff like a plywood board.

In our newest blog, we break down:
🛏️ How mattress firmness affects spinal alignment
🧠 Why “firm = better” is a myth
💪 What athletes & active adults actually need
📏 How to test if your mattress is supporting you
🔄 When it’s time to replace it

If you spend 6–8 hours a night in bed… it better be working FOR you, not against you.

Your spine deserves a mattress that’s not too hard, not too soft — but just right 😉

✨Wellness Wednesday ✨

Nighttime writing down the worries that may keep you up- just may help you get restful sleep.
Often called a “brain dump” it is a scientifically backed method to quiet a racing mind, reduce stress, and help you fall asleep faster.
✅Create a “To-Do” List for Tomorrow: Research shows that writing down specific tasks you need to accomplish in the next few days helps you fall asleep faster than journaling about past events.
✅The “Brain Dump” Method: Write down everything on your mind without overthinking or editing. This acts to reduce the emotional weight of worries.
✅Shift your focus from worries by listing three to five specific things you are grateful for from the day.

⭐️Why This Helps Your Sleep & Brain?
🙏Calms the “What If” Cycle: Writing down worries breaks the loop of anxiety and prevents it from stealing sleep.
✨Declutters the Mind: It frees up working memory by acting as an external storage system for your thoughts, allowing your brain to switch from “do mode” to “rest mode”.

Your back called… it would like a word about your wallet. 👀💸

Wallets, utility belts, and overstuffed pockets… OH MY!

If you’re sitting on a brick (aka your Costanza-level wallet), carrying your phone in the same back pocket 24/7, or rocking a tool belt like you’re on an episode of HGTV 🛠️… we need to talk.

That subtle low back ache?
The “mystery” hip tightness?
The one-sided glute that refuses to chill?

It might not be your workout.
It might be your pockets. 😅

In our newest blog post, we break down:
✔️ How sitting on a wallet can create pelvic imbalance
✔️ Why uneven pocket weight messes with your spine
✔️ What it does to your hips, SI joint, and low back
✔️ Simple fixes to prevent long-term back pain

As a sports-medicine focused chiropractic office, we’re big fans of strength training… but we’re even bigger fans of not sabotaging your spine with your cargo shorts.

Small habits. Big impact.

And tell us in the comments… are you a back pocket wallet person or a front pocket minimalist? 😏

✅Relieves Pain: Can ease tired legs, leg cramps, and mild backaches.

Balance isn’t just for your grandma… 👵🏼💃🏼

If you think balance training is only for “fall prevention,” think again. Whether you’re chasing toddlers, crushing workouts, surfing in Point Loma, or just trying not to eat it stepping off a curb… your balance matters. A LOT.

🧠 Balance = brain + inner ear + joints + muscles all working together.
When one piece is off? You feel wobbly, tight, slower, or more injury-prone.

And here’s the kicker 👇
Poor balance isn’t just an aging issue. It can show up with:
✔️ Old ankle sprains
✔️ Low back pain
✔️ Neck tension
✔️ Concussions
✔️ Sedentary desk life
✔️ That “I’m just clumsy” label you’ve accepted for years

Spoiler alert: you’re probably not clumsy. Your nervous system might just need a tune-up. 😉

In our newest blog, we break down:
✨ Why balance declines (even in active adults)
✨ How chiropractic care supports proprioception & nervous system function
✨ Simple balance exercises you can start TODAY
✨ Why balance training improves performance AND prevents injury

If you want to move better, feel stronger, and stop blaming your shoes for near-falls… this one’s for you.

Know before you go

Nerve flossing  involves gentle, controlled, repetitive movements designed to help irritated or compressed nerves slide smoothly through surrounding tissues, reducing inflammation, and pain. These exercises, commonly used for sciatica, and carpal tunnel, improve nerve mobility and range of motion. Proper technique is essential to avoid exacerbating any symptoms.

Benefits of Nerve Flossing
💥Pain Reduction: Helps alleviate pain, tingling, and numbness caused by nerve compression or entrapment.
Improves Mobility: Increases range of motion and flexibility in the affected area.
⭐️Reduces Inflammation: Encourages better blood flow to the nerve, reducing inflammation and, in some cases, preventing chronic pain.

🗣️✅Speak with your healthcare professional because if done too intensely or aggressively, nerve flossing can increase pain, numbness, or tingling rather than reducing it.
Improper form may further irritate the nerve. Use a gentle approach, as it should never be painful. If pain increases, stop or reduce the range of motion.
It is best to perform these under the guidance of a physical therapist or clinician to ensure proper technique.

🩹 Small scar… BIG attitude. 😤
Ever notice how that tiny scar from years ago still feels tight, weird, or throws off how you move? Yep — scars don’t just sit there looking innocent. They can quietly mess with mobility, strength, and even pain patterns.

We break down:
👉 Why scar tissue doesn’t “just heal”
👉 How scars can restrict movement far away from the injury
👉 Signs your scar might be the sneaky culprit behind stiffness or pain
👉 What you can actually do about it (spoiler: rubbing it once doesn’t count 😅)

If you’ve ever said “But it was such a small surgery…” — this one’s for you.

Wellness Wednesday ✨
Chill out and bring calmness:
Applying ice under your arm can act like a “reset switch” for the vagus nerve, activating the parasympathetic nervous system. This system feeds info into your brain from most of your senses to calm the body by slowing heart rate and reducing stress,though applying it to the neck or face is often more direct for vagal stimulation. Cold exposure triggers this nerve, signaling the body to relax, making it a quick hack for anxiety relief, with studies showing heart rate drops when cold is applied to the neck.
Best locations for stimulation:
Neck: Highly effective, as it’s a major pathway for the vagus nerve.
Armpit: Stimulates nerve endings near major vessels and nerves, including vagal pathways.
Face:Triggers the “diving reflex,” strongly activating the vagus nerve.
