Our Treatments & Services
Auto Accident Chiropractic
The days following a car accident can be confusing. You feel okay, so you assume you are okay. But whiplash and spinal injuries from collisions are notorious for hiding and then hitting hard two or three days later when the inflammation sets in.
Dr. Caruso has worked with many El Cajon accident victims who came in thinking they were fine, only to discover real spinal damage that needed attention. Catching these injuries early is what prevents a minor accident from turning into months of chronic pain.
We also help you navigate the process. PIP insurance billing, medical records for your attorney, and documentation for your personal injury claim. We handle that side so you can focus on getting better.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Your spine is involved in almost everything your body does. When it is out of alignment, the effects show up in ways that seem unrelated. Persistent headaches, nerve pain down your leg, a shoulder that will not loosen up no matter how much you stretch it.
Dr. Caruso takes time to understand what is actually going on before any adjustment happens. That means a thorough evaluation of your posture, range of motion, and spinal movement so treatment is targeted and specific.
Most patients start feeling a real difference within the first couple of visits, including many who tried other options for years before finding what actually works for them here.
Weight loss/Functional Wellness
Most weight loss programs treat the body like a math problem. Eat less, move more, and the numbers will work out. But for a lot of people it is not that simple, and the frustration of doing everything right and still not seeing results is real.
Our program looks at what is actually driving the weight gain, whether that is metabolic, hormonal, or lifestyle related, and builds a plan that works with your body rather than against it.
For specific areas that have not responded to anything else, we also offer non-invasive body contouring with no surgery, no needles, and no recovery time needed.

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.
Question 1: How long does a chiropractic adjustment take?
Chiropractic adjustments usually take 10 to 20 minutes. Your first visit may take longer because we review your health history, current pain, and movement. This helps ensure chiropractic adjustments are done safely and matched to your specific needs.
Question 2: Will an adjustment hurt, such as a y-strap adjustment?
Chiropractic adjustments, including a y-strap adjustment, are generally comfortable. Patients may feel controlled pressure or a quick release. Temporary soreness can occur, similar to muscle stiffness after physical activity, and typically subsides within a day.
Question 3: How often should I come in?
The number of visits depends on your condition, pain level, and goals. Some patients need short-term care, while others benefit from ongoing visits. Dr. Caruso will explain a plan that fits your needs and comfort level.
Question 4: Can chiropractic care help long-term back or neck pain?
Yes, chiropractic care can help with long-term back or neck pain. Regular care may improve movement, reduce tension, and support better posture. Many patients notice steady relief when care is combined with simple daily movement changes.
Question 5: Do I need X-rays before treatment?
X-rays are not always needed before treatment. They are used only when helpful to better understand your condition, past injuries, or areas of concern. Dr. Caruso will explain if imaging is recommended for your care.
We would love to see you.
