Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care addresses musculoskeletal conditions through manual adjustments and therapeutic techniques. We treat back pain, neck pain, and joint issues using non-invasive methods like electrical stimulation, ultrasound therapy, and heat therapy. With over 25 years of experience, Dr. Gamboa creates personalized treatment plans that focus on correcting spinal misalignments and improving overall wellness for patients of all ages.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal Decompression therapy effectively treats herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease using advanced traction technology. This non-surgical treatment gently stretches the spine to relieve nerve compression and promote healing. Clinical studies show high success rates for lumbar disc issues, making it an ideal solution for patients seeking alternatives to surgery or medication-based pain management.
Car Accident Treatment
Specialized care for auto accident injuries including whiplash, soft tissue damage, and spinal misalignments. We provide immediate assessment and treatment to prevent long-term complications from delayed symptoms. Our practice handles insurance documentation and offers lien arrangements while focusing on comprehensive recovery through chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, and rehabilitative exercises.
Prenatal Care
Customized chiropractic care for expectant mothers addresses pregnancy-related back pain, pelvic discomfort, and posture changes. Using the Cox Technic distraction method and specialized equipment like the flexion/distraction table, we safely improve spinal alignment and pelvic positioning to enhance comfort during pregnancy and facilitate easier delivery for both mother and baby.
Massage Therapy
On-site massage therapy accelerates recovery through deep tissue work, Swedish techniques, and myofascial release. Our licensed therapists target muscle tension and improve circulation to complement chiropractic adjustments. This integrative approach enhances treatment outcomes for sports injuries, chronic pain conditions, and post-accident rehabilitation while promoting overall relaxation and wellness.

Look no further! This doctor is pure MAGIC! I cannot recommend Dr. Desi enough! I have been to MANY chiropractors over the years, some okay, some horrible, some did the trick for a little while but cost me thousands of dollars and the issues came back. When I first went to see Dr. Desi a few years ago after spending thousands of dollars seeing a chiropractor 3 times a week for months to address my low back pain, that not only came back but even worse, I immediately felt relief. The issue was pretty severe so I went to see Dr. Desi about 9 times even though I was already seeing a tremendous difference

No matter what your condition, the first thing Desi will tell you is that you're going to need several appointments before you're going to start feeling better. Sure that's a given but he makes it painfully obvious he's not in the

I pinched a nerve in my back in my sleep and was sooo worried I wouldn't find a chiropractor during covid but Carlsbad Chiropractic were open and even helped me out with a cut in price, as I do not have insurance and the doctor saw I really needed to be seen multiple times in one week, and as being young and single, he helped me out a little with the price, even selling me a back brace at nearly no cost that saved me at my beertending job. My favorite thing about my chiropractor doctor I saw, is that he took the time every visit to do ultra sound radiation on my back since the muscles were
