San Diego Chiropractic Group

The San Diego Chiropractic Group is an integrated chiropractic and medical practice located in the heart of San Diego. With combined experience, we offer a variety of safe, gentle, and effective chiropractic techniques, acupuncture, and massage services in a relaxed and comfortable environment. Our team of chiropractic doctors, massage therapists, and wellness practitioners work together to provide a holistic approach to healthcare for the treatment of neck and back pain, joint pain, headaches, auto accident injuries, sports injuries, scoliosis, sciatica, and many other musculo-skeletal complaints.

We are centrally located in the San Diego community of Clairemont, at the corners of Balboa and Genesee Avenues with easy access from the 5, 805, and 15 freeways. Our ninth-floor suite offers stunning 360-degree views of the East County mountains, Pacific Ocean, Downtown San Diego, and Mount Soledad. We also enjoy beautiful San Diego sunsets from our suite.

We accept most PPO, HMO, Medicare, Tri-Care, and Med-pay insurance policies and have affordable cash rates. We also accept attorney liens for auto accident injuries. We are one of the few San Diego chiropractic offices that remain open for late evenings and have Saturday hours, and often can accommodate same-day appointments.
