When pain interrupts your daily life, finding relief is a priority—but that doesn’t mean you have to turn to medications or surgery. Today’s best non-invasive pain treatments are safe, drug-free, and effective at targeting the root cause of discomfort. In San Diego, chiropractic care is leading the way in holistic, conservative solutions for pain relief.
At Dr. Palmes Chiropractic, we focus on treating musculoskeletal conditions with time-tested and innovative therapies. Whether you’re dealing with back pain, joint issues, or soft tissue strain, our non-invasive approach can help you get back to living well—without downtime or side effects.
Chiropractic Adjustments (Spinal Manipulation)
Chiropractic adjustments, also known as spinal manipulation or chiropractic manipulative therapy, are the cornerstone of conservative care for pain. Misalignments in the spine—called subluxations—can interfere with nerve signals, cause inflammation, and lead to chronic discomfort.
With gentle, targeted adjustments, chiropractors restore proper spinal alignment and mobility. This process:
- Reduces nerve irritation
- Improves range of motion
- Alleviates muscle tension
- Supports the body’s natural healing process
Chiropractic care is highly effective for conditions such as:
- Lower back pain
- Neck pain
- Sciatica
- Headaches
- Joint stiffness

Shockwave Therapy
Another exciting non-invasive treatment offered at our clinic is shockwave therapy. This advanced modality uses acoustic pressure waves to target damaged soft tissue, stimulate healing, and break down scar tissue. Unlike surgery or injections, shockwave therapy works with your body—encouraging natural repair and reducing chronic inflammation.
Shockwave therapy is ideal for:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tendonitis
- Shoulder pain
- Muscle and joint tightness
- Chronic overuse injuries
Treatments are quick, require no downtime, and are performed in-office. Most patients report noticeable improvement within just a few sessions.

Spinal Decompression Therapy
If you’re experiencing pain from a bulging disc or sciatica, spinal decompression therapy offers a non-surgical solution. This motorized therapy gently stretches the spine, creating space between vertebrae and relieving pressure on compressed nerves.
It’s especially effective for:
- Herniated discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Nerve root compression
- Chronic lower back pain
Patients who undergo decompression therapy often experience reduced pain, improved mobility, and long-term spinal support.
