Hear From Patients Just Like You

I sustained a herniated disc in my lower back along with extremely painful upper back issues which Dr. Rassel found. I had considerable disc degeneration and arthritis. Going through corrective care has been simply life changing. I now feel so much better with more energy, significant decrease in pain, and experience more restful sleep. Experiencing better days overall has brought the joy back into my world. Being a mother to an active 4 year old I need to be at my best. I’m happy to say I am there, thanks to the team here at Corrective Spinal Care of California. This has been so impactful that my son, husband, aunt, and mother all receive care here because of the vast improvements I experienced.

I had spent over 3 years going to specialists trying to figure out why I had severe balance and equilibrium issues. At the time I was unable to do much at all. Finally, I went to see Dr. Rassel and had my spine and nervous system checked. The explanation, diagnosis, and treatment plan that I had gave me hope. I was overwhelmed with joy when Dr. Rassel identified the cause of my problem! I no longer felt embarrassed, thinking doctors believed I imagined the problem.

BonniePatient

Soon after birth our youngest son, Josiah suffered weekly from debilitating asthma attacks. Josiah would be taken almost monthly in an ambulance to the hospital for emergency treatment. This went on for over a year. A friend told us how the doctors at Corrective Spinal Care of California had helped her son with asthma. We were skeptical at first but we were desperate to try anything. The doctors found areas in Josiah’s neck and upper back that were pinching nerves going to his lungs and immune organs. Soon after he began with his chiropractic care, the attacks significantly decreased. For the last nine years Josiah has not had ANY asthma attacks!

PikPatient

After having five children, I had constant low back and hip pain. I also struggled with several migraines a month. I figured I just had to deal with it. Dr. Rassel has given me hope! I no longer live with daily pain. I live a happier and healthier life now and as a bonus, I can keep up with my kids!

JynellPatient

After my examination and x-rays, Dr. Rassel answered all our questions about my injuries and years of pain that had been plaguing me. I started corrective care and my posture, range of motion and overall stability in my back has improved immensely! I can now do activities that once caused me pain.

SunshinePatient

The doctor had identified issues that had occurred because of forty plus years at a desk and a very difficult childbirth 30 plus years earlier. I began corrective care three times a week for several months and I have seen phenomenal results. I have very little pain and have stopped, cold turkey, taking arthritis medications that I have been on for over five years! Their whole lifestyle approach to health fits so well with my own goals and I am the healthiest I have been in years!

VickiPatient

I struggled for over 15 years with back issues and then when the pandemic hit, it got worse. I was in constant pain, suffering with terrible muscle spasms. I could barely get around on my own. My parents had to come throughout the week to take care of me and I was bound to using a walker and cane. My independence was taken away. I went to doctors and specialists and was diagnosed with Degenerative Disc Disease. The treatments they prescribed were not working, I was starting to lose hope when I found Dr. Rassel- who was like a light at the end of a tunnel. I am happy to say that I'm not only walking without support and assistance- I got back to the things I love: boogie boarding, shopping, amusement parks, family outings and leading worship at my church.

The Corrective Spinal Care of California Difference

Why Didn’t Anyone Tell Me This Before?

Every day people come to our clinic after seeing many doctors and therapists but still struggling with the same problems. Detailed exams and digital X-rays allow our caring doctors to help you find the root cause of your issues for lasting solutions.

Are Those
Really My
X-Rays?

Health is not merely the absence of disease.  Most of us think that if we look good and feel good, we must be healthy. But that’s not always true. Hidden health problems can have a big impact on our lives and the lives of the people we care about.

It’s One Less Thing To Worry About

Most of us experience more stress in a single day than our grandparents did in their entire lives! It’s much better to take small steps now to prevent problems than to wait until they become bigger issues that take more time, effort, and money to fix.

How Our Better, Stronger, Healthier Plan Works

Better

Many people seek help from a chiropractor only when they are suffering from such intense pain that it is interfering with their daily life. Chiropractic classifies treatment in this period of intense pain as relief care. The chiropractor’s focus during this period is to alleviate your symptoms. Sometimes, this will require daily visits or two to three visits per week for some time.

There’s nothing like pain to motivate people to see a chiropractor, so once the pain has subsided many people think the healing is done. But reducing or eliminating the pain is only one step in restoring your body to physical and structural health.

For example, have you ever had a cavity in your tooth? Did you feel the pain right away or only after it became serious?

When you experience the kind of intense pain that moves you to take the time to seek help, it’s easy to see that you aren’t healthy. Once the pain is gone you may assume your health has been restored. But unfortunately just the absence of pain is not a true measure of health. Many ailments such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer and others don’t display pain as a symptom until they are pretty well advanced.

Doing nothing until you are in severe pain really isn’t the best way to maintain your health. A more proactive plan is required – one that consistently and intelligently increases your natural health and vitality.

Stronger

We regard eliminating your symptoms as the easiest part of a persons care. If we stop there it’s very likely that the underlying cause of the pain (disk problem, curved spine, limited range of motion, etc.)will cause a recurrence of the condition. If you repeat the process of treating only the pain, then over time your structural problem will only worsen leading to a chronic state of pain and suffering.

Corrective care is not as intensive as Relief care, and requires fewer weekly visits depending on you particular circumstances. During this stage your chiropractor may introduce you to some gentle exercise and stretching to help accelerate your healing.

It’s not uncommon to have minor setbacks during this stage. This is normal. Flare-ups can occur because your body has not fully healed. The duration of corrective care depends on a variety of factors such as your age, overall health, and the nature and severity of the injury. It’s not uncommon for the chiropractor to take another set of x-rays to determine your progress.

Healthier

Once the chiropractor determines that you have fully recovered from your injury you are ready for treatment in Stage 3 – Wellness. As strange as it may seem this might well be the most important part of the entire process. Most of the injuries that people suffer that lead them to chiropractors occur because their bodies aren’t really in overall good health.

Your nervous system is the key to your health and well being and your spinal column is the major highway your nervous system uses to keep all the parts of your body operating efficiently. If that highway isn’t in good repair then there are constant “traffic jams” and “detours” that prevent the nervous system from communicating effectively to all of your tissues, cells and organs. It is that efficient communication that helps your body meet every physical challenge quickly and correctly.

Including regular visits to your chiropractor is your best insurance against many of the nagging aches and pains that so often wind up as major problems. This regular care can help you live a more active and better feeling life, doing what you enjoy.

What Could Not Fixing Your Problem Cost You, Now & In The Future?

Ignoring problems with your spine can lead to serious short-term and long-term effects that go beyond just feeling uncomfortable. In the short term, untreated spine issues can cause constant pain, stiffness, and trouble moving. Even basic tasks like bending or walking can become difficult, making everyday life harder. This can also lead to missed work and less productivity, which may hurt your career, income, and overall enjoyment of life.

Over time, ignoring these issues can make them worse. Problems like herniated discs, arthritis, and joint damage might develop, requiring costly treatments such as surgeries, medications, or physical therapy. These treatments often come with high expenses, frequent doctor visits, and long recovery times that can disrupt your personal and professional life.

Poor spinal health can also affect your whole body. When your spine isn’t aligned correctly, it can mess with your nervous system, causing headaches, muscle tightness, low energy, and constant tiredness. This can make it hard to do the things you love, stay active, or maintain good relationships. Chronic pain can even lead to mental health struggles like anxiety and depression.

Living with unresolved spinal issues can also change how you move and stand, putting extra strain on your hips, knees, or shoulders. This might create new problems in these areas. The pain and lack of movement can discourage you from exercising, which increases the risk of weight gain, heart disease, diabetes, and other health problems.

In the long run, untreated spinal problems can greatly lower your quality of life. As your ability to move decreases and the pain gets worse, even simple activities like walking, lifting, or playing with family can feel impossible. The emotional toll of constant pain can also hurt your relationships, limit social interactions, and affect your overall happiness.
