NUCCA Chiropractor
Rancho Bernardo CA
Just the Spinal Adjustment
Dr. Chloé Lightner and Dr. Dan R. Spinato to take over the practice of Dr Pietrek. We are honored to continue the same level of excellent care Dr Pietrek has provided his clients. We believe therapy, massage, exercise and electronic muscle stimulation all have their place. But the best thing for Dr. Pietrek and his own spinal condition (pictured here) is the type of work that we do.
Over 2,500 Treated
Dr. James Pietrek has treated over 2,500 patients, ranging from one week to age 95. Drs. Chloé & Dan have over 38 years experience providing the same methods and level of care.
Safe & Gentle Adjustments
Tailor-made adjustments based in math, physics, geometry and biomechanics because no two spines are the same.
On-Time Appointments
One of our mottos is “We respect others’ time and they will respect ours.” Waiting is rare.
Same Day Appointments
We always reserve special time for patients in pain, as we’re the only NUCCA chiropractor in Rancho Bernardo. However we also now serve the entire Carmel Valley area.
Friendly Staff
Bilingual (Spanish) assistant does her best to make you feel right at home. Pride in responsiveness.
Auto Accidents
Dr. James Pietrek has advanced training in triage, MRI interpretation and documentation for personal injury. We also provide the same services.
Health Conditions
Headaches, Lower Back/Leg Pain, Neck/Shoulder Pain, Fibromyalgia and Scoliosis are some of the more common conditions we see here at Pietrek Spinal Care.

Headaches
In 1995 it was discovered that there is a connective tissue bridge reaching from the outside lining of the brain and brainstem to the muscles in the top of the neck.

Lower Back & Leg Pain
The lower back is very strong; it has to be. It supports 2/3 of the body weight. Misalignments in the neck can cause compensations in the lower back, often leading to pain.

Neck & Shoulder Pain
Unresolving neck pain may require a 3-Dimensional X-ray analysis in order to pinpoint the underlying cause. Left uncorrected, neck pain can lead to shoulder and arm pain.

Fibromyalgia
Widespread chronic pain and fatigue, mental fogginess and digestive trouble are just some of the problems associated with Fibromyalgia.

Scoliosis
The side-most part of the brainstem controls the tone of the muscles that travel all the way down the spine and anchor into the pelvis.

Wellness Care
Here, we don’t prescribe nutritional products, extensive exercise programs or offer life coaching. As Joseph Piliates said, “You are the age of your spine.”
