Chiropractic care focuses on spinal alignment to improve nervous system function and reduce pain. This hands-on therapy addresses musculoskeletal issues, enhances mobility, and supports overall wellness through manual adjustments. Patients benefit from improved posture, reduced inflammation, and better nerve communication throughout the body.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture stimulates the body's energy pathways to relieve pain and restore balance. This ancient practice uses fine needles to address various conditions, including stress, headaches, and hormonal imbalances. Patients experience reduced inflammation, improved circulation, and enhanced emotional well-being through targeted meridian stimulation.

Sound healing uses specific frequencies to promote deep relaxation and energetic balance. Through tuning forks and sound tables, this therapy reduces stress, clears energy blockages, and enhances cellular healing. Patients report improved mental clarity, reduced anxiety, and enhanced physical recovery when combined with other treatments.

Dr. Ross was such a godsend! I was quarantining in San Diego (my hometown) and it had been far too long since my last adjustment. I was having migraines and dizziness and not only was she able to help by giving me adjustments, but she came in on a Sunday to help me as a new client. Overall, my symptoms improved and I felt better after each adjustment. I used to run a chiropractic office and was adjusted frequently by several different doctors and have seen many since; Dr. Ross is the real deal and can be trusted to help your body get back to where it needs to be. I'll be adding a visit with her to any future trips down to SD. Can say enough good things!

I'm not sure how long I've been a patient of Dr. Ross. let's guess 5 years. I'm a RN at a busy trauma center & recently opened my own business. Stress has definitely been one of my biggest issues; in addition to back surgery in 2014, & frequent upper respiratory & sinus infections. I am currently completely open to her advice & council. I'm in transition moving away from common western drugs & opening my mind & body to alternative paths to health & wellness. Dr. Ross has my trust & I know she will help guide me on my path to wellness!

I think I've been seeing Dr. Michele Ross for about 2 years. The moment you walk in the door you should begin to relax your shoulders and just begin to breathe easier. Well, that's the way it is for me. Her environment is calm and invites relaxation. Depending on what I need I will receive acupuncture or chiropractic work, and sometimes both. She has a gentle, healing, and genuine approach to promote health, balance, and well-being. As long as Dr. Ross practices I will be her client. (Bonus; she takes insurance too)!

Dr. Ross is not only an incredible chiropractor she is a true holistic healer. Her depth of knowledge about the human body and holistic health is amazing. She is a true professional with decades of experience to draw from in helping find the right approach to help you feel better. I found her to be compassionate, warm, and authentic. I highly recommend her!

Takes the time to evaluate symptoms and treats the whole person. Positive demeanor and calm, peaceful atmosphere. A little tricky to find, tucked away in the back of the office park, but there are great directions on the website.

Dr. Ross is the chiropractor for chiropractors. This is how I found her. I was seeing a chiropractor and could not get the appointment I needed. What sets her apart from all other practitioners is her ADDITIONAL experience as a saged acupuncturist, herbalist and essential oil expert. In her treatment room she combined chiropractic with acupuncture. Soothed my senses with top grade essential oils while taking away pain. She also takes 'med pay' for car accident issues. GREAT! I'm now doing work out of San Diego and whenever I'm in San Diego, I see Dr. Ross.
