Our Treatments & Care
Auto Accident Chiropractic
If you were involved in a car accident, the collision can cause tissue damage, whether it was a minor or a major accident. You might feel fine at first. So, you think that you don’t need immediate medical attention.
However, untreated injuries can cause chronic pain and long-term mobility issues. Without proper treatment, symptoms of whiplash and spinal injuries may creep in days after the accident. Thus, you should get chiropractic care right away.
When you visit Caruso Family Chiropractic Clinic to treat your auto accident injuries, you are choosing Dr. Robert Caruso's 30+ years of experience. Our clinic has helped more than 10,000 patients.
Spinal Decompression
The symptoms of chronic pain or untreated injury can make you feel helpless. If you want to be free from these symptoms but you don’t want to take medicines or undergo surgery either, then our shockwave therapy might be able to help.
Shockwave therapy is one of the popular natural options at Caruso Family Chiropractic Clinic. It uses acoustic waves to boost your circulation and tissue repair in the affected area.
This natural treatment is ideal if you suffer from plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and pain in your shoulders, knees, or back. We provide 100% confidential care for our more than 10,000 patients in El Cajon.
Shockwave Therapy
A compressed disc or a pinched nerve can cause chronic back pain. This condition can be easily relieved by undergoing spinal decompression. At Caruso Family Chiropractic Clinic, we offer this medication-free treatment for lasting relief.
Without surgery, Dr. Caruso uses controlled traction to stretch your spine. Stretching causes the space between vertebrae to expand. As it expands, it allows the nutrients to flow back in to heal the area.
Spinal decompression may sound like a dangerous procedure. But it actually doesn’t involve any needles, and it requires no downtime. It treats your herniated disc, sciatica, or chronic neck pain without surgery and synthetic medicines.

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.
