At Anima Movement Center, we don’t just mask the pain—we address its root cause.

Our team in San Diego blends:

• Gentle spinal manipulation (targeted chiropractic adjustments)
• Cold laser therapy to reduce inflammation and promote healing
• Spinal decompression to relieve disc pressure and improve circulation
• Myofascial release and soft tissue therapy for muscle tension relief‍
• Corrective exercise to improve posture, strengthen the core, and promote long-term stability

This comprehensive approach helps restore spinal alignment, decompress the spine, and enhance blood flow and nerve function.

At ANIMA Movement Center, we take a gentle, non-invasive approach to disc care. Through targeted chiropractic adjustments, decompression therapy, and movement-based rehab, we work to relieve nerve pressure, restore mobility, and support long-term spinal health.

Research published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics supports non-surgical spinal decompression and chiropractic care as effective treatment options for disc-related pain and dysfunction.

At ANIMA Movement Center, we take a root-cause approach to sciatica. By relieving nerve pressure and improving spinal alignment, we help reduce pain, restore mobility, and prevent future flare-ups — without relying on medication or surgery.

Clinical studies, including those published in the European Spine Journal, show that spinal adjustments and conservative care can significantly reduce sciatic pain and improve function over time.

At ANIMA Movement Center, we take a proactive, non-invasive approach to scoliosis management. Through gentle chiropractic care, corrective movement, and ongoing support, we help reduce discomfort, improve spinal alignment, and slow the progression of the curve.

• Gentle spinal adjustments to reduce tension and improve symmetry
• Corrective exercises to strengthen postural muscles and improve alignment
• Postural retraining to support balance and prevent compensation patterns
• Ongoing assessments to monitor curvature and track progress
• Individualized scoliosis care plans based on age, curve severity, and mobility goals

Studies in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine suggest that conservative care, including chiropractic adjustments and exercise-based therapy, can help manage scoliosis symptoms and improve quality of life.

At ANIMA Movement Center, we take a holistic, non-invasive approach to managing degenerative disc disease. Our goal is to reduce inflammation, support spinal stability, and help slow the progression of disc degeneration — so you can stay active and feel your best.

• Chiropractic adjustments to improve spinal alignment and reduce joint stress
• Spinal decompression therapy to relieve pressure and rehydrate discs
• Strengthening and mobility exercises to support surrounding muscles and prevent flare-ups
• Cold laser therapy to reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair
• Lifestyle coaching and ergonomic guidance to protect your spine daily

Research in the Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation shows that conservative care — including chiropractic and movement therapy — can improve pain, function, and quality of life in those with disc degeneration.
