Chan Chiropractic

I have been seeing Dr. (Allen) Chan for many, many years now. I was injured in my neck when a minivan slammed into my stationary Honda Civic at a stoplight. I had also sustained multiple misaligned vertebrae in my back due to various sports injuries in both youth and early adulthood. I like to play volleyball, football and golf. And I love to ski.
All these sports involve repetitive twisting motions, semi-​violent impacts on a regular basis. Any of these can cause a misalignment that most people just don’t recognize and try to medicate away.
Here’s a good rule of thumb. If you took a hit, fell down, slept funny, and your neck/​back/​ribcage/​hips are sore? You most likely have an alignment issue. Most will overdose on Advil or tough out their injuries. Not smart.
When bones are out of position, muscles tighten to prevent further damage. This presents itself in soreness, tightness, even sharp pain. Dr. Chan locates all your pain points in about ten mins. He will also treat all those pain points same visit. Pain gone.
Seen a neck xray? I was a sloucher and my neck permanently forward. I couldn’t turn my head past 60 degrees. My misaligned neck vertebrae could not allow me to stand fully upright same with spine. Get a friend. Lie face down. Have th friend compare the length of your legs by looking at the tips of your shoes. Is one foot an inch or so off in length over the other? Dr Chan fixes all this in me regularly.
Thanks to Dr Chan, I stand taller, bones aligned, I have more energy, and my pain is gone, until I do something stupid like dive for a ball. Then Dr. Chan aligns me right back up even the same day. I like to think of Chan Chiropractic as my partner in keeping me out on the court. I can play all out, dive for balls, impact the ground, twis and turn my body such that my spine and neck are all out of whack at their old weakness points, but I know getting back to Dr Chan ASAP not only limits the damage to my ligaments/​discs, it also prevents me from having to endure pain for days on end.
I listened to all his advice applying moist heating packs to help muscles relax and stay in restored alignment. Misaligned skeleton causes tight muscles that prevent further injury, but also pulls bones out of alignment if left in improper alignment. Again, something else your MD won’t tell you. If you follow his directions religiously, avoid couches, sit upright, sleep only using a cervical pillow, rest plenty, eat well, exercise, you WILL heal fast.
Dr Chan isn’t just masking symptoms by prescribing drugs like most doctors will. He’s addressing the root of the problem. Would you rather have your spine and neck aligned right? Would you like to have full range of motion in your neck? When my neck is out, I can’t turn past 45 – 60 degrees. A fully ranged neck and head with assistance should have range of motion to slightly out past 90 degrees. MD’s don’t tell you that.
Dr. Chan through his diagnoses and treatment has allowed me to keep feeling good, playing the sports I love, all the time. The reason I keep seeing him is because I keep beating up my body, and Dr. Chan keeps brings everything back into line. It’s impact sports without the aches and pains most untreated athletes suffer.
The staff is absolutely amazing. Dr. Chan is kind, super knowledgeable. He understands the human body and he is a great teacher. The more you know about your body, the more you lessen injury and heal faster. When I leave, Dr. Chan has addressed all my issues and aligned me right back up. He also has a lot of wisdom. Just have a chat.
Janet is his wife and she’s usually at the front desk with Dr. Casey, who is their daughter. I love this family. Janet is SUPER sweet and kind, she always does what she can to fit you in because she is compassionate and knows the pain you’re in and knows that getting you in same day can help you sleep better at night. She’s super thoughtful and will call patients for reminders. She’s motherly and caring and I love that. She’s like mom away from home. And she’s killer with insurance.
Dr. Casey is brilliant. They won’t talk about it much because they’re a humble sort of family, but she went to college at 16 to study bio at Cal. She’s smart, on top of all the latest, and super professional. She, like Dr Chan, is surgically precise in her treatment, and she can help you plan changes to help you live better.
Finally, they don’t broadcast it, but their cash price is the MOST affordable in San Diego. Its because they care enough to provide healthcare for even the least well-​heeled. They keep pricing artificially low, it’s 40−50% less than everyone else. I NEEDED this because no insurance and student. NO other chiropractor in SD believes so much in what they do that they charge less. To make it accessible. Because they believe everyone deserves care.
I could not have afforded care otherwise. And would have been living with pain for 3 long years. Instead I thrive, pain-​free. Playing the sports I love!

I went to this office a month ago. Dr. Chen was very friendly and kind. I had great experience with him and his staff.

About 18 months ago I had my first appointment with Dr. Casey at Chan Chiropractic, who came recommended by my wife and a colleague of mine. I had previously seen another chiropractic provider and was not pleased with the service I received. Chan Chiropractic was another story. I was impressed with Dr. Casey’s thorough evaluation, her genuine caring nature, and her ability to help. I am a physical therapist by profession, and I certainly appreciated Dr. Casey’s effectiveness and her desire to improve my wellness, rather than creating a need for ongoing appointments. She is ethical and honest, and will let you know if she can continue to help you or if you can maintain your level of progress through a home program. I recently returned to Dr. Casey and even though it’s been a while, the same great service continues. There is no pressure and pricing is straightforward so you don’t have to wonder what each session will cost. Chan Chiropractic also recommends and offers several orthopedic products to help maintain your skeletal alignment. I trust Dr. Casey and highly recommend making an appointment for evaluation should you be in need of some physical relief. You have little to lose and a great deal to gain.

A few years ago, i got into an auto accident where i got rear-​ended on the freeway by a sleepy bastard in a Buick. My doctor suggested i visit a chiropractor to help me with some recurrent low back pain that i ignored for weeks. Thats when i found Dr Chan’s office which was in my neck of the woods. Dr Chan and his staff were very kind and friendly. I went through one and a half months of therapy/​sessions with his office. His daughter Casey who also is a chiropractor there was also great in loosening me up. If you have any back problems or need to loosen up your whole body. trust me its real. then check this office.
