Loewenstein, D.C.
Growing up as the son of a chiropractor — and competing in sports his entire life — Dr. Loewenstein saw firsthand how the right care transforms the way you move and feel. He built this practice around one idea: every patient deserves more than a 5-minute crack-and-go.
As a San Diego chiropractor serving UTC, UCSD, La Jolla, Clairemont, and nearby neighborhoods, his approach combines soft tissue work, spinal adjustment, and functional rehab in one cohesive visit — treating patients of all ages, from Medicare patients to competitive athletes throughout San Diego.

San Diego chiropractic care FAQ — about cost, insurance, what to expect, and whether chiropractic actually works.
The cost depends on whether you're using insurance or paying out of pocket. For cash-pay patients, visits are straightforwardly and transparently priced — call the office for current rates. If you're using insurance, your cost is typically just a copay or coinsurance after your deductible. Most patients are surprised by how affordable it is once insurance kicks in.
Yes — Dr. Loewenstein is in-network with Aetna, Blue Shield, Anthem, UnitedHealthcare, and most major insurance plans. That means chiropractic care is a covered benefit for the majority of patients, not an out-of-pocket surprise. If you were injured in an auto accident, personal injury billing is also available.
Your first visit starts with a thorough consultation — Dr. Loewenstein will go over your health history, understand what's bothering you, and ask the right questions to get a clear picture of what's going on. From there, he'll do a physical and orthopedic exam to identify the root cause of your pain, not just the symptoms. You'll leave with a clear diagnosis and a plan.
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 so you're not leaving empty-handed. If the exam reveals something that warrants further evaluation first, he'll tell you exactly why.
Your first visit typically runs about 45 minutes to allow enough time for a complete exam and initial treatment. Follow-up visits are more focused and usually take around 30 minutes. Either way, the office runs on schedule — your time is respected.
Comfortable, easy-to-move-in clothing. Athletic wear, loose pants, or anything you'd wear to the gym is ideal. Avoid stiff jeans or restrictive clothing if you can help it.
It depends on what you're dealing with. Acute issues often respond well within 6–12 visits. Chronic conditions may take 12–24 visits to achieve lasting improvement. 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.
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, not to keep you on a never-ending schedule.
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.
Most patients don't find adjustments painful. You may feel pressure or a brief sensation during the adjustment, followed by relief. Some people experience mild soreness for a day or two afterward — similar to how you might feel after a good workout. Techniques can always be modified.
Yes, and the evidence is solid. The American College of Physicians guidelines recommend 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. Chiropractic is evidence-based, guideline-supported care.
No referral is needed in most cases. You can call or book directly without going through your primary care doctor first. 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.
