Auto Accident Chiropractic

Car accidents, no matter how minor, can cause injuries that need immediate attention, even if you feel fine after the collision. The force of impact puts sudden stress on your spine, muscles, and joints, causing tissue damage that may not show symptoms at first.

Unfortunately, symptoms like whiplash, muscle strains, and spinal injuries may not appear until 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 lasting relief from your car accident injuries, including whiplash treatment, neck and back pain relief, spinal evaluations, soft tissue rehabilitation, personal injury documentation, and insurance and attorney coordination.

Spinal Decompression

Back pain that never fully goes away often points to a compressed disc or pinched nerve. Spinal decompression offers El Cajon patients a gentle, drug-free path to lasting relief, and it's one of the most requested treatments at Caruso Family Chiropractic.

During each session, Dr. Robert Caruso uses controlled traction to slowly stretch the spine, creating space between vertebrae so bulging discs can retract and healing nutrients can flow back in. Patients from El Cajon, La Mesa, and Santee trust his 30+ years of experience to guide every step.

Sessions are comfortable, require zero downtime, and involve no needles or surgery. Whether it's a herniated disc, sciatica, or stubborn neck pain, decompression may be the missing piece in your recovery.

Shockwave Therapy

If you're dealing with chronic pain or a lingering injury, then shockwave therapy at Caruso Family Chiropractic in El Cajon, CA can help. Instead of masking symptoms with medication, Dr. Robert Caruso uses this treatment to stimulate your body's natural healing response at the source of the problem.

Shockwave therapy uses acoustic waves to boost circulation and tissue repair in the affected area. With over 30 years of experience treating patients in El Cajon, La Mesa, and Santee, Dr. Caruso can help you achieve pain relief with long-term outcomes, so the improvement actually lasts.

This treatment is effective for plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and shoulder, knee, and back pain. It is non-surgical. Thus, there are no injections involved. You can also go back to work after the session.

Get Your Questions Answered

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. Chiropractic care improves mobility, relaxes tight muscles, and supports better posture. Combined with correcting everyday habits like poor sitting posture, it can bring long-term relief and better overall health.

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.
