Chiropractic Care El Cajon
Our Treatments & Care
Auto Accident Chiropractic
Car accidents, no matter how small or sever they are, it still can cause injuries that require immediate attention, even if you feel fine after the collision. The force of impact puts sudden stress on your spine, muscles, and joints, which will lead to a tissue damage that won't show at first.
Unfortunately, you may only feel the symptoms, like painful whiplash, muscle strains, and spinal injuries, even days after the accident. Therefore, we recommend getting chiropractic care right away, as untreated injuries can cause chronic pain and long-term mobility issues.
We offer chiropractic care services that can provide you with permanent relief from your car accident, including whiplash treatment, neck and back pain relief, spinal evaluations, soft tissue rehabilitation, personal injury documentation, and insurance and attorney coordination.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Your spine is connected to many parts of your body. A dysfunction in just one area can affect your overall health. Spinal dysfunction can cause pain, stiffness, and headaches. It also reduces your mobility and irritates your nerves.
The only way to find the exact areas that require adjustment is through a detailed spinal examination. Dr. Caruso is experienced in spinal alignment. This is a necessary procedure to reduce any pressure on your nerves, restore your normal movement, and improve your overall function.
Many of our patients report noticeable improvement after just a few treatment sessions. Long-term chiropractic care also improves their mobility and prevents future problems.
Weight loss/Functional Wellness
If you're looking for effective ways to lose weight, then our functional wellness program can help. Instead of quick fixes or restrictive plans that are hard to maintain, we focus on addressing the underlying factors that affect your weight and overall health.
Our strategies are realistic and sustainable, designed to fit your lifestyle rather than work against it. They can help you achieve your goals with long-term outcomes, so the progress you make actually lasts.
This program includes body contouring treatments if you need to reduce extra fat from certain areas of your body. These are non-surgical treatments. Thus, there are no injections involved. You can also go back to work after the session.

Real Questions From Patients
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are common questions patients ask before starting care. These answers will help you know what to expect during your visits.
How long does a chiropractic adjustment take?
A chiropractic adjustment can take up to 20 minutes. However, your initial visit can take longer because our chiropractor will first evaluate your condition to help him diagnose your situation and design a treatment.
Do adjustments hurt, including the Y-Strap adjustment?
A chiropractic adjustment, including the Y-strap adjustment, doesn’t cause severe pain. However, you may feel muscle soreness after the treatment. It’s similar to the soreness that you feel after working out. But the symptom goes away within 24 hours.
How often should I visit a chiropractor?
It depends on the result of the thorough evaluation by your chiropractor. The number of sessions will depend on your health, the severity of your pain, and your goals. Dr. Caruso will evaluate your situation so he will know whether you need short-term care or a long-term plan.
Can chiropractic care help with long-term back or neck pain?
Yes, it can help with long-term back or neck pain. It will help your body move easier, relax your muscles, and help you sit up straight. It will help you feel good, and at the same time, it will help you become a healthier person, especially if you correct a number of bad habits that we all do.
Is an X-ray needed before treatment?
Not necessarily. X-rays are only used if they would help the doctor better understand your health, evaluate past injuries, or examine an area of concern. If needed, he will request them to get a clearer picture of your condition.
