At ANIMA Movement Center, we don’t chase symptoms — we correct the cause. Our San Diego-based team blends:

• Gentle cervical manipulation (safe, targeted spinal adjustments)
• Cold laser therapy to reduce inflammation and support cellular healing
• Myofascial release and trigger point therapy
• Corrective exercise and postural retraining
• DT Hill Decompression Table to relieve disc pressure and rehydrate spinal tissues

This full-spectrum approach helps restore alignment, decompress the spine, and improve blood flow and nerve signaling.

A 2012 study in theAnnals of Internal Medicine found that spinal manipulation was more effective than medication for treating neck pain — especially when paired with exercise and postural rehab.

At ANIMA, our comprehensive whiplash recovery in San Diego includes:

• Neuro-spinal chiropractic care and cervical decompression
• Cold laser therapy to reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair
• Corrective movement and strength exercises to restore functional alignment
• Myofascial release techniques to minimize scar-tissue restriction

A study by Cassidy et al. (2000) in the New England Journal of Medicine found better recovery outcomes in whiplash patients who received early active care rather than relying on passive medical management or compensation-based models.

At ANIMA, we use a hands-on, functional approach to relieve nerve pressure and restore healthy function:

• Spinal decompression (DT Hill Table) to open disc space and improve circulation
• Cold laser therapy to reduce inflammation and support nerve healing
• Specific cervical manipulation to improve motion and reduce tension
• Corrective exercise and postural training to rebuild long-term stability

A 2020 review in Chiropractic & Manual Therapies reported that manual therapy combined with exercise effectively reduced symptoms in patients with cervical radiculopathy (nerve-related pain and numbness).
