We believe that when it comes to your health, we’re in it together. If you’ve been searching for a place that understands the demands and needs of an active lifestyle, we’re confident you’ll like what you’ll find.

San Diego's Dr. Katrina Stopper-Hackett provides chiropractic and rehabilitative care at Action Sports Chiropractic, a Sports Medicine based Clinic geared toward helping active individuals and athletes feeling and performing at their best. We believe in taking an active approach to health care that puts you in charge while assisting your body through the healing process. We believe that when it’s properly cared for, your body has its own God-given ability to heal itself. As Chiropractors, we’re here to assist your body through that process. With a balanced approach that combines elements of soft tissue work, exercise, and nutrition, Chiropractic care helps to restore proper motion in joints, correct imbalances between surrounding muscles and ligaments, and relieve compression of the nervous system through realignment. At times, treatment may include attention to additional systems that have been affected by the stress incurred at particular areas of involved nervous system pathways. Since Chiropractors cannot prescribe medications or perform surgery, Dr. Katrina works closely with several additional medical physicians and health care providers throughout Southern California. Through cooperative co-management, we're able to best address your needs, including those that may fall outside of our particular specialty areas of practice.

Whether you are looking to get through the pain and discomfort of a new injury, manage chronic stress and headaches, or to improve your strength, fitness and posture, we’ll provide a step by step, personalized approach to reaching those goals as quickly as possible through the following process:

1. Determine the areas of needed attention
2. Restore proper motion in joints, and correct imbalances between surrounding muscles and ligaments
3. Teach you the steps needed to prevent future injury and flare up.

We also understand that not everyone has the same needs,  desires, or motivations when it comes to their health care. For this reason, Dr. Katrina offers two types of service:

-Traditional Chiropractic Care involves general Chiropractic and Orthopedic examinations, Chiropractic Adjustments and stretching. Its the perfect option for the busy individual that simply wants to maintain their joint health, postural alignment and wellness through Chiropractic care. Initial visits last approximately 45 minutes, with follow up or "maintenence" visits lasting about 15-20 minutes.

-Chiropractic Performance Rehabilitation is a more comprehensive approach to overall health, wellness and active lifestyle performance. This type of therapeutic approach is generally indicated for those individuals with more complex or chronic injuries, multiple areas of pain, or sports performance needs. In addition to basic chiropractic care, treatments may also include Active Release Technique, Soft Tissue work, Exercise plans, nutritional reviews and recommendations, and any of the therapeutic modalities such as E-Stim, Ultrasound, Cold laser, Kinesiotaping techniques, orthodic fitting, or other approaches that your particular condition indicates would be of benefit in reaching your health or sports performance goals. Due to the complexity of care, initial visits generally last between 1-1.5 hours with follow up visits lasting between 30-45 minutes.
