Holistic, Patient-Centered Care for Residents of Encinitas and Beyond

At Calispine, we treat the mind and body together, providing a comprehensive treatment approach to functional medicine in San Diego. We believe in patient-centered care, meaning we focus on treating the whole person as opposed to an injury or disease. Instead of finding the fastest way to eradicate your pain and symptoms, we search for the root of your problem. We recognize your individuality instead of taking a one-size-fits-all approach. 

What Is Functional Medicine? 

Functional medicine is a systems biology–based, patient-centered approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease, illness, and/or pain. This model encourages patients and practitioners to work with one another to address the underlying cause of injury and disease. It requires a solid understanding of a patient’s health and lifestyle and leverages this information to create a direct tailored treatment plans that leads to an overall improved outcome. 

By addressing the root cause of the disease or pain, rather than the symptoms, we are able to target what is causing such a response and address it head on. 

What Is a Functional Medicine Chiropractor? 

A functional medicine chiropractor takes a holistic approach to treating clients, focusing on optimizing the entire body to promote full-body healing and wellness.

Chiropractic care is one component of functional medicine as it helps patients achieve optimal health. Where some chiropractors mainly focus on traditional spinal manipulation, Calispine offers a more integrated approach, utilizing functional medicine to address our clients holistically. We are dedicated to finding the root cause of disease and pain, instead of just addressing your symptoms.

We provide the following functional medicine services in San Diego: Lab testing, nutrition coaching, supplement protocols, and Nutritional IV therapies.

Lab testing can include any of the following:
