Why Choose California Oaks Chiropractic

California Oaks Chiropractic has been part of the Murrieta community for 36 years, giving local patients a long-standing clinic with established care standards and continuity.

Our clinic offers more than one approach to chiropractic care, including hands-on adjustments, ArthroStim tool-assisted care, spinal decompression, massage therapy, and shockwave therapy when appropriate.

The clinic focuses on clear evaluation before treatment, patient education, and practical home care guidance, so each visit is based on the patient’s condition rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Reasons to choose California Oaks Chiropractic

What We Treat

Back pain can come from disc concerns, spinal misalignment, muscle tension, movement patterns, or pressure affecting the nerves in the lower back. Patients may notice sharp pain, aching pain, stiffness, limited movement, numbness, tingling, or pain that changes with bending, sitting, standing, or activity.

At California Oaks Chiropractic, care begins with a full history and evaluation to understand where the pain started, how it feels, and what may be causing it. Treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, massage therapy, shockwave therapy, icing guidance, stretching, and home rehab based on the patient’s condition.

Neck pain can present in different ways depending on the area involved. Some patients may have stiffness, limited motion, muscle tightness, headaches, migraines, dizziness, ringing in the ears, numbness, tingling, or symptoms that travel into the arms.

Dr. Phillip Vournazos, D.C., evaluates neck pain by looking at posture, spinal function, neurological symptoms, muscle involvement, and past injuries. Care may include chiropractic treatment, cervical traction, decompression therapy, massage therapy, muscle work, and shockwave therapy when clinically appropriate.

Sciatic nerve pain can involve pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, or symptoms traveling into the lower extremity. Dr. Phillip also explained that not every leg symptom is true sciatic nerve pain, so proper diagnosis is important.

At California Oaks Chiropractic, evaluation may include orthopedic exams, neurological testing, imaging when needed, and palpation to understand whether symptoms are coming from the spine, nerve pathway, disc, or surrounding muscles. Care may include chiropractic treatment, massage therapy, and shockwave therapy when nerve irritation or damage is involved.

Disc concerns can place pressure on nearby nerves and may cause back pain, neck pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain that travels into the arms or legs. Dr. Phillip discussed lumbar disc protrusions, including cases involving L5 and S1 nerve-related symptoms.

Care focuses on identifying the disc involvement and reducing pressure on the affected area. Treatment may include chiropractic adjustments to support spinal biomechanics, decompression therapy to help traction the spine, shockwave therapy, massage therapy, and home care instructions based on the patient’s findings.

Headaches and migraines may be connected to the upper cervical spine, neck tension, posture, or neurological irritation. Some patients may also notice dizziness, ringing in the ears, or recurring symptoms related to changes in the upper neck.

California Oaks Chiropractic evaluates the neck, posture, muscle tension, and spinal function to understand what may be contributing to headache or migraine patterns. Care may include chiropractic treatment, muscle work, massage therapy, decompression, and supportive home guidance when appropriate.

Auto injuries can affect the neck, spine, discs, and muscles. Dr. Phillip discussed a personal injury case where a patient was rear ended and developed cervical disc protrusions after the impact.

Care after an auto injury focuses on careful evaluation, spinal function, muscle involvement, and neurological symptoms. Treatment may include chiropractic care, decompression, muscle work, massage therapy, and supportive care for the affected areas.

Nerve symptoms may include numbness, tingling, weakness, radiating pain, or changes in muscle function. These symptoms can come from nerve compression in the neck, low back, pelvis, or surrounding soft tissue.

Dr. Phillip evaluates nerve-related symptoms by reviewing the patient’s history, symptom location, movement patterns, neurological findings, and imaging when needed. Care focuses on identifying the source of compression and supporting better spinal, pelvic, and nerve function.

Long hours at a computer or looking down at a phone can affect the curve of the neck and place added stress on discs, joints, muscles, and nerves. Patients may notice neck pain, tightness, headaches, shoulder tension, numbness, tingling, or reduced range of motion.

California Oaks Chiropractic focuses on restoring better spinal mechanics, improving mobility, addressing muscle tension, and educating patients on ergonomics and daily habits that may be affecting their symptoms.

Dr. Phillip discussed treating a new mother who developed sharp low back pain after childbirth. He noted that pregnancy and childbirth can create biomechanical changes, including lower back instability and changes in core strength.

Care may include a full evaluation, chiropractic treatment, massage work, muscle work, stabilizing exercises, and core strengthening recommendations based on the patient’s needs and clinical findings.
