What makes this different

Not your typical 5-minute adjustment.

01
Three therapies in one visit
Soft tissue work, spinal adjustment, and rehab — in a single 45–60 minute appointment. No separate referrals.
02
Root-cause diagnosis first
A full exam before treatment. Dr. Loewenstein finds why you're in pain, not just where it hurts.
03
ART & M.S. Nutrition
Active Release Technique certified plus a Master's in Nutrition — tools most chiropractors don't offer.
04
Every age, every body
Medicare patients to marathon runners, desk workers to weekend warriors — same thorough approach.

A different kind of chiropractic visit.

Most chiropractic appointments are five minutes — a quick adjustment and you're out the door. At this La Jolla & UTC office, Dr. Loewenstein takes a more complete approach because that's what actually helps people get better — and stay better.

01
Three therapies. One appointment.
Myofascial release, spinal adjustment, and functional rehab — all in a single visit. No fragmented care, no separate referrals, no wasted time.
02
Care for every body.
From Medicare patients to marathon runners, from desk workers to weekend warriors — every patient gets the same thorough, root-cause approach.
03
We find the actual cause.
Most pain has a mechanical reason. We identify it, treat it, and give you the tools to prevent it from coming back.

What we treat.

Chronic pain, acute injuries, and mobility problems — addressed at the root cause, not just the symptom. Patients come in from UTC, La Jolla, and across San Diego for a plan built around their goals, their schedule, and their body.

Insurance accepted here.

to know before you book

San Diego chiropractic care FAQ — about cost, insurance, what to expect, and whether chiropractic actually works.

Cost & Insurance
How much does a chiropractic visit cost in San Diego?

For cash-pay patients, new patient visits are $100 and follow-up visits are $75. If you're using insurance, your cost depends on your specific plan and whether your deductible has been met — it could be as low as a copay. Please call the office at (858) 558-3111 for an estimated cost based on your coverage before your first visit.

Does insurance cover chiropractic care?

Yes — Dr. Loewenstein is in-network with Aetna, Blue Shield, Anthem, UnitedHealthcare, and most major insurance plans. That said, your out-of-pocket cost depends on your specific plan and whether your deductible has been met. Some patients pay just a small copay; others pay more until their deductible is satisfied. Every plan is different. For a ballpark on what to expect, call the office at (858) 558-3111 — or text us your date of birth and a photo of your insurance card and we'll get you an estimate before your visit.

Your First Visit
What happens at my first chiropractic appointment?

Your first visit starts with a thorough consultation — Dr. Loewenstein will go over your health history, understand what's bothering you, and perform a physical and orthopedic exam to identify the root cause of your pain. You'll leave with a clear diagnosis and a plan.

Will I receive an adjustment on my first visit?

In most cases, yes. Once the exam is complete and it's appropriate to treat, Dr. Loewenstein will typically perform an adjustment at that first visit. If the exam reveals something that warrants further evaluation first, he'll tell you exactly why.

How long does each appointment take?

Your first visit typically runs about 45 minutes. Follow-up visits are more focused and usually take around 30 minutes. Either way, the office runs on schedule — your time is respected.

What should I wear to my appointment?

Comfortable, easy-to-move-in clothing. Athletic wear, loose pants, or anything you'd wear to the gym is ideal.

How Many Visits
How many chiropractic visits will I need?

Acute issues often respond well within 6–12 visits. Chronic conditions may take 12–24 visits. Your plan is always personalized based on how you're responding to care. Dr. Loewenstein will give you an honest timeline at your first visit.

How often do I need to come in?

Early in care, more frequent visits — typically 2–3 times per week — help build momentum. As you improve, that frequency tapers down. The goal is always to get you to the point where you don't need to come in as often.

Safety & Does It Work
Is chiropractic care safe?

Chiropractic care has an excellent safety record and is widely recognized as one of the safest non-drug treatments for musculoskeletal pain. Dr. Loewenstein conducts a thorough exam before treatment — and if something isn't a good fit for chiropractic, he'll tell you.

Are chiropractic adjustments painful?

Most patients don't find adjustments painful. You may feel pressure or a brief sensation during the adjustment, followed by relief. Techniques can always be modified.

Does chiropractic care actually work? What does the research say?

Yes — the evidence is solid. The American College of Physicians recommends spinal manipulation as a first-line, non-drug treatment for both acute and chronic low back pain. A landmark study in JAMA Network Open found that chiropractic care combined with medical care significantly reduced pain compared to medical care alone.

Logistics
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?

No referral is needed in most cases. You can call or book directly. Some plans have specific requirements (UC SHIP for UCSD students and Kaiser plans require a referral), but for most PPO plans you can simply reach out and get scheduled.

Where is the office and is parking available?

5151 Shoreham Place, Suite 175 — UTC/University City, San Diego, off the 805. Free parking available — no meters, no validation. Easy to reach from La Jolla, Clairemont, Sorrento Valley, and UCSD (less than 2 miles from campus). Suite 175 is on the first floor at the end of the courtyard on the left.
