Dr. Kurt and his team are fabulous. They always go above and beyond my expectations, and have a wealth of information about additional healing tools and techniques. I have had chronic pain for over 10 years and they help manage my pain, and improve my quality of life with spinal adjustments, laser & rapid release treatments, and the BrainTap. Dr. Kurt is by far the best chiropractor I have ever been to and I have tried a lot. He also adjusts a lot more joints than most chiropractors I've been to. He sees you as a whole person and treats you accordingly.

Moved to San Diego a few months ago. I had seen a chiropractor in the past but had relapsed with constant back and neck pain, along with debilitating headaches. Dr. Kurt and his staff welcomed me as a new patient, and I could feel the difference after just one visit. I'm eager to continue seeing them for my care.

The team here along with Dr. Kurt is the best! He helped me with tremendous back pain and I already felt better after my first appointment. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a chiropractor.

Dr. Kurt, Sam, and Martina are the best team in the world! They are always so bright and positive, and go above and beyond to meet our needs and requests. They care about their patients as individuals, and take the time to not only ask about our lives, but actually remember the answers to questions they asked and details about who their patients are. They take the extra time to give heat and/or laser treatment after the adjustment and that really helps solidify the work (or magic) that Dr. Kurt does. Dr. Kurt also shows you on a screen *where* your ailment actually is and how it affects the rest of your body, and furthermore gives extra stretches you can do at home to maintain.
They also recently incorporated InHarmony Brain Tap therapy into their office and it is a GAME CHANGER. This therapy focuses on sound frequency and how it interacts with the body's cells. The whole team really cares about your body from the inside out, and takes a Holistic approach to ensure your mind is as sound as your body. They're amazing- see them now!
