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.

"After years of back pain and relying on ibuprofen, I found relief at Corrective Spinal Care. Having worked on roofs for 42 years and staying active, I needed real solutions, not constant upsells. Dr. Ian genuinely cares, adjusting treatment as needed without pressure. Now, I’m back to fishing, surfing, and lifting weights—living life without pain. The supportive, healing environment makes all the difference."

"As an ER veterinary nurse, I suffered from daily headaches, weekly migraines, and shooting arm pain that sometimes left me unable to work. After a car accident, my neck seized up completely, leaving me in unbearable pain. A friend recommended Dr. Rassell, and his care changed everything. My migraines disappeared, my arm pain is gone, and I feel more in tune with my body than ever. Now, I can keep up with my toddler, sleep better, and live pain-free. Chiropractic care isn’t just a quick fix—it’s a lifelong investment in health, and I’m so grateful for it."

"I suffered from severe sciatic pain that made sitting unbearable. After trying everything with no relief, I was skeptical of chiropractors, but my family encouraged me to see Dr. Russell. His unique approach, including targeted stretching, provided real results. Within months, my pain was completely gone, and over a year later, it hasn’t returned. Now, I’m thriving—working out, golfing, and living pain-free. Dr. Rassell truly knows what he’s doing, and his treatments work."

"After falling off a horse as a teenager, I didn’t think much of it—until my neck and shoulder pain worsened past age 65. Years later, I started seeing Dr. Russell, and while progress took time, my neck has significantly improved, and the pain is now minimal. At almost 84, I believe his care has helped me stay active and pain-free. Chiropractic care is an ongoing process, but it truly works."

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.
