At Taproot Chiropractic, we focus on nervous system optimization, not just pain relief. Your nervous system controls everything in your body—immune function, digestion, sleep, stress response, energy levels, and overall health. Many adults come to us not for pain, but to function better, sleep better, handle stress more effectively, and maintain long-term wellness. Think of chiropractic like going to the gym or eating well—it's proactive healthcare, not just reactive pain management.

We're a neurologically-based family practice, meaning we focus on how your nervous system is functioning rather than just where you hurt. Our comprehensive four-pillar approach includes specific chiropractic adjustments, nutritional guidance, brain-based exercises, and lifestyle mentoring. We're not a quick-fix, in-and-out practice—we're invested in creating lasting changes in how your body functions. This approach is especially effective for families dealing with complex health challenges beyond just pain.

Corrective care at Taproot Chiropractic means we're working to create lasting neurological changes, not just temporary relief. Initially, you'll come more frequently (often 2-3 times per week) because research shows the brain needs consistent input over 8-12 weeks to create new patterns—this is called neuroplasticity. Once we've achieved the corrections we're working toward, many patients transition to wellness memberships to maintain their progress and continue optimizing their health.

We operate as a cash-based specialty practice, which allows us to focus on providing the highest quality care without insurance limitations. Our corrective care visits are $45 per adjustment, and we offer wellness memberships at an affordable monthly rate after your initial corrective phase. Many patients find that the investment in their health through our comprehensive approach provides better long-term value than insurance-based quick visits. We can provide superbills for you to submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement.

Your initial visit includes a thorough consultation about your health history and goals, comprehensive nervous system assessment using neurologically-based techniques, postural and movement analysis, review of findings and customized care plan, and often your first adjustment (if appropriate). We take time to understand your complete health picture and explain exactly what we're seeing and how we can help. Plan for about 45-60 minutes for your first appointment.

Yes! Your nervous system has two main modes: sympathetic (fight-or-flight) and parasympathetic (rest-and-digest). Many adults in our stressed, fast-paced Temecula lifestyle get stuck in sympathetic overdrive. Chiropractic adjustments help regulate your autonomic nervous system, allowing your body to shift into a more balanced, parasympathetic state. Patients often report feeling calmer, sleeping better, and handling stress more effectively after starting care with us.
