Chiropractic Care
Advanced spinal correction techniques address back pain, neck pain, and headaches through precise chiropractic adjustments. Our care plans combine manual therapy with postural analysis to restore spinal alignment and nervous system function. Patients benefit from reduced pain, improved mobility, and enhanced overall wellness through our evidence-based approach to musculoskeletal health.
Regenerative Medicine
Platelet-rich plasma injections stimulate natural healing for joint pain, ligament injuries, and tissue degeneration. Using concentrated growth factors from the patient's own blood, this treatment promotes cellular repair and reduces inflammation without steroids or surgery. Ideal for sports injuries, arthritis, and chronic pain conditions affecting mobility.

Specialized treatment for sports-related injuries including concussions, sprains, and musculoskeletal strains. Our protocols combine chiropractic adjustments with rehabilitation exercises to accelerate recovery and prevent re-injury. We serve both professional athletes and active individuals seeking to maintain peak physical performance through non-invasive care solutions.
IV Nutritional Therapy
Intravenous delivery of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants provides 100% nutrient absorption for metabolic support and immune enhancement. This therapy addresses deficiencies from chronic illness or stress through customized formulations that boost energy levels, support detoxification, and improve cellular function for overall wellness optimization.

Personalized exercise programs target muscular imbalances and postural issues contributing to pain and dysfunction. Patients learn therapeutic movements to strengthen core stability, improve flexibility, and enhance neuromuscular coordination. These home-based programs complement chiropractic treatments to achieve lasting musculoskeletal health improvements.

I've been seeing Dr. Padilla at least once a week (except when I'm out of town) for the past 23 years. When I first starting going to him I was in a lot of back pain due to 2 bulging discs. After a period of extensive visits, Dr. Padilla got me in good enough shape to walk 3 miles several times a week and go to a Trainer. I have continued to see him for maintenance care ever since. I'm now 77 and continue to walk 3 miles several times a week and do Aqua Fit. Dr. Padilla is caring, knowlegable, and a totally terrific guy! His staff goes out of their way to help you as well. I highly recommend Dr. Padilla and San Diego Spine and Wellness.

I first saw Dr. Padilla for a back injury. He diagnosed some disc degeneration and started a treatment plan. I walked in that first time stooped over and in pain.2 treatments and I was 80% better. I now see him on occasion for maintenance. I also took my 85 year old mother (who was visiting SD)with serious back issues into his office. He gave her treatment for 2 weeks.and then found her a doctor near her home that would be able to continue treatment. That is going well above and beyond.

He's the most genuine and caring dr I know! My daughters and I seen him for a number of years and he always take good care of us! We were afraid of neck manipulation but he has this cool machine that could just do the job without adjusting our neck! He's also very kind and compassionate. When he heard that I lost my job due to Covid, he offered my girls and I free adjustments! Thank you Dr Padilla! couldn't thank you enough for your kindness!

I should've done this years ago, but I can honestly say that Dr. Padilla saved my life. After being misdiagnosed and mistreated, after my first visit with him I cried in my car because finally someone listened to me and validated my feelings. I was in a car accident when I was 19 and spent a year going to different doctors and physical therapists who told me my pain was in my head and it was due to my posture.
After speaking with Dr Padilla for ten minutes, he said I was experiencing post-whiplash symptoms and wouldn't be surprised if I had ligament damage. He was right and he also said I had lost 100% of the natural curve in my neck. After what seemed like a lifetime of pain, Dr Padilla treated me and gave me a reason to be happy and to live pain free again. Without him, I would've most likely become addicted to pain relievers and muscle relaxers.
I owe Dr Padilla my happiness. Not to mention, his office staff is so kind and loving, they make you wish you never get better so you don't have to stop going. Thank you Dr. Padilla for everything, you are my hero!

He was asked to go through insurance but decided to go through a lien instead for my car accident case without letting us know. I have lost trust in this company and the honesty and integrity.
