West Coast Chiropractic & Sports Therapy

Rehab-Based Chiropractic Care for Long-Term Results

West Coast Chiropractic & Sports Therapy on West Lambert Road in Brea takes a different approach to chiropractic: instead of keeping you coming back indefinitely, the practice's stated mission is to promote long-term change, with patient self-sufficiency as the ultimate objective. Appointments are 60-minute, one-on-one sessions with a doctor, and every treatment plan starts with a comprehensive orthopedic and neurological exam to make sure you're a proper candidate for care.

Services

• Comprehensive orthopedic and neurological examinations
• Chiropractic adjustments (chiropractic manipulative therapy)
• Myofascial release — pin-and-stretch soft tissue work
• ARPwave therapy rehabilitation
• Normatec compression recovery
• Cupping, scraping, and passive electrical stimulation

ARPwave Therapy

A signature offering at West Coast is ARPwave — an electrical stimulation therapy that mimics the body's nervous system to increase muscular contraction and promote blood flow, used here as part of rehab-focused treatment plans. Both doctors specialize in it, pairing the modality with adjustments, myofascial release, and movement-pattern correction.

Common Questions

What happens at a first visit?

New patients receive a comprehensive orthopedic and neurological examination before any treatment plan is built, so the doctors can confirm you're a proper candidate for care and tailor the approach to your condition.

What is myofascial release?

The clinic uses a pin-and-stretch technique specific for breaking up scar tissue adhesions within muscle fibers — soft tissue work that complements chiropractic adjustments.

Is this practice geared toward athletes?

Sports therapy is in the name and both doctors come from sports medicine and strength-and-conditioning backgrounds, but the rehab-based model — exam first, hands-on treatment, corrective movement — applies to anyone working through pain or an injury.
