What Is Chiropractic Care and How Does It Work?

What Is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic care is a non-invasive, drug-free approach to health that supports whole-body healing by focusing on spinal alignment, joint function, and the nervous system.

At Healcove Chiropractic & Wellness in San Diego, we deliver more than just adjustments—we offer a comprehensive, results-driven experience tailored to your body’s needs.

We recognize that the spine is central to your health—but it doesn’t function alone. That’s why our approach also addresses muscles, fascia, and movement patterns that may be contributing to discomfort or dysfunction.

How Chiropractic Works at Healcove

Traditional chiropractic care focuses on gentle, hands-on corrections (called adjustments) that help restore alignment and reduce nervous system interference. These misalignments—also known as subluxations—can create stiffness, pain, and limited range of motion.

At Healcove, we take it further. Every chiropractic session may also include:

  • Soft tissue therapy

  • Myofascial release

  • Joint mobility drills

  • Movement re-education

This integrative model helps clients move better, recover more efficiently, and experience lasting improvement—not just momentary relief.

What Clients Say

"I came in with daily neck pain from my desk job. After one visit, I had more movement and less tension—but what stood out was how they addressed my posture, muscle tightness, and gave me at-home stretches. It’s the first time I’ve felt real progress."
– A.S.
