Innovative technology meets personalized and compassionate care at San Diego Neck and Back Pain Relief Center. Headed by Dr. Ashley J. Herfindahl, the center is first and foremost a chiropractic clinic specializing in spinal decompression, cold laser therapy and, infrared light therapy where patients can find relief from their neck and back pain without medication or surgery. However, the center offers more treatments and procedures than a typical chiropractic office.

"We are not a typical medical office," explains Dr. Herfindahl. "We provide a caring and relaxing environment for our patients, while utilizing the most cutting-edge, non-surgical techniques to alleviate patient's symptoms and restore their health. We provide our patients with rehabilitative techniques, core strengthening and clinical nutrition, and we educate them on a healthy lifestyle. Whether utilizing just one type of treatment or combining services, patients can recover from a variety of conditions through these innovative techniques."

One of these techniques is the DRX9000 True Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression System. The DRX9000 provides relief of pain and symptoms associated with herniated discs, bulging or protruding intervertebral discs, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, posterior facet syndrome, and sciatica. Patients who once thought their only option was surgery or live with the pain, have now found a non-invasive and non-surgical solution to end their pain and return to an active lifestyle.

Another technique is the ERCHONIA™ low-level laser therapy. These low level cold lasers allow light energy to pass through the skin and into the injured musculoskeletal tissue thereby increasing microcirculation and enhanced tissue regeneration. The overall effects are decreased pain and inflammation, and increased range of motion allowing the muscle, tissue or nerve to heal faster. Cold laser therapy treatment can help acute and chronic pain, fibromyalgia, headaches, shoulder pain, neck pain, carpal tunnel, and sports injuries.

We also offer treatment for those patients that have been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, and restless leg syndrome. The treatment involves infrared light therapy, vibration and specific therapeutic exercises. We are able to help those patients who may have tried other therapies with no success.
"My patients are looking to improve their health and I enjoy being able to help them accomplish this" says Dr. Herfindahl." It is our goal to help patients live fuller, happier and pain-free lives. "It is so rewarding to watch patients regain their strength and enjoy everyday activities without pain. That's the best part of what I do."
