La Jolla Sports &
Wellness Chiropractor

The surfer with a shoulder that won't heal. The UCSD researcher whose neck locks up at 2pm. The Bird Rock runner who stopped running. If you've been managing the pain instead of fixing it — this is a different kind of visit.

"I've seen a lot of chiropractors over the years. Dr. Loewenstein is in a completely different category. He actually spends time working on you — not just a quick crack and out the door. My back hasn't felt this good in years."

La Jolla Chiropractic Care

Not Your Typical
Adjustment

Most chiropractic visits run 3–5 minutes. You're in, you're out, you feel okay for a few days. Then the same thing comes back.

Dr. Jordan Loewenstein runs his La Jolla–area practice differently. Every visit starts with e-stim and moist heat to loosen the tissue, moves into spinal traction and soft tissue therapy, then finishes with a full-spine chiropractic adjustment. Soft tissue work before the adjustment means the adjustment holds longer.

He also holds a Master's degree in Nutrition alongside his Doctorate of Chiropractic — a combination almost no chiropractor in San Diego carries. When recovery plateaus, nutrition is often part of the answer.

Located at 5151 Shoreham Place in UTC — about 15 minutes from Bird Rock, a straight shot down Torrey Pines Road from La Jolla Village.

Every Visit

What Happens
When You Come In

This is the sequence — every patient, every time. The order matters.

01
E-Stim + Moist Heat
Electrical stimulation and moist heat applied directly to the problem area. Loosens the muscle tissue and increases circulation before any hands-on work begins.
Other offices: skip this
02
Spinal Traction
Hands-on traction on the Hill Autoflex table combined with massage. Decompresses the discs and joints, creating space before the adjustment.
Other offices: skip this
03
Soft Tissue Therapy
Targeted work on the muscles and fascia surrounding the problem. Breaking up restrictions first is why the adjustment holds — this step is the difference.
Other offices: skip this
04
Full-Spine Adjustment
A complete chiropractic adjustment addressing the full spine — not just the area of complaint. By this point the tissue is ready, and the adjustment actually lands.
Other offices: only this

About Dr. Loewenstein

Built Different.
Practices Different.

Dr. Jordan Loewenstein grew up around elite sport — his father worked with NFL teams during preseason training camps. That's where he learned what serious athletic care actually looks like. It shaped everything about how he runs his practice today.

He holds a Master's degree in Nutrition alongside his Doctorate of Chiropractic. Most chiropractors don't have this. When a patient's recovery keeps stalling, the answer is often in what they're eating, how they're sleeping, or how they're loading the tissue between visits — and Dr. Loewenstein can address all of it.

He also lives the lifestyle he recommends. Staying in peak physical condition isn't marketing — it's how he stays connected to what his patients are actually going through.

Questions

La Jolla Chiropractic FAQs

Is the office actually in La Jolla? +
The office is at 5151 Shoreham Place, Suite 175 in UTC — about 15 minutes from Windansea Beach via Torrey Pines Road or the 52 freeway. Free parking on-site.
What insurance plans are accepted? +
Aetna, Cigna, Blue Shield of California, Anthem Blue Cross, UnitedHealthcare, VA Community Care, Medicare, Kaiser (via ASH), HealthNet, and Meritain Health. Benefits are verified before your first visit.
What does a visit actually look like? +
Every visit follows the same four-step sequence: e-stim and moist heat, spinal traction with massage, soft tissue therapy, then a full-spine adjustment. Soft tissue work before the adjustment is the reason the adjustment holds longer — and why most patients feel a real difference compared to a standard chiro visit.
Do you treat La Jolla surfers and water sport athletes? +
Yes. Shoulder impingement, rotator cuff strain, paddler's elbow, neck pain from duck-diving, and low back issues from surfing are common. Treatment is tailored to the specific demands surfing puts on the body — not a generic protocol.
Can you help UCSD employees and researchers with desk pain? +
Absolutely. Tech neck, forward head posture, upper trap tension, and lumbar stiffness from long hours sitting are among the most common conditions treated. UCSD faculty and staff on UC SHIP may need a referral from UCSD Student Health — call (858) 534-3300 to request one.
How fast can I get an appointment? +
Same-week appointments are typically available. Book online through ZocDoc for the fastest scheduling, or call (858) 558-3111 directly. New patient paperwork can be completed before you arrive.
What makes this different from other chiropractors near La Jolla? +
The full treatment sequence — not just an adjustment — is the main difference. Most chiropractors in the area spend 3–5 minutes per patient. Every visit here includes soft tissue therapy, traction, and a complete spinal adjustment. The M.S. in Nutrition is also rare — when recovery stalls, that background matters.
