As a 47-year-old perimenopausal woman dealing with metabolic health issues, I came to strength…read moretraining from a very different perspective than someone who already enjoys the gym or athletics. I had never strength trained before and was honestly intimidated by the entire experience. I worried about getting injured, looking foolish because I didn't know what I was doing, and whether the effort would actually produce meaningful results. I started training with Christian in late April, and I have been genuinely surprised by the progress I've made. Physically, I've dropped a clothing size in both pants and tops, and my DEXA scans show that I've increased lean mass and bone density while losing weight in a calorie deficit, which is especially meaningful to me at this stage of life. Beyond the visible changes, I've also seen improvements in several health markers, which was one of my primary goals going into this process. For me, strength training wasn't about athletic performance--it was about improving my long-term health. One of the biggest reasons I've been successful is the coaching itself. I have low blood pressure and can become lightheaded during heavier lifts, and I also need careful attention to form and knee positioning to avoid injury while still being challenged appropriately. I don't think I would push myself safely or effectively on my own. Christian does an excellent job of finding that balance between encouragement, proper technique, and progressive overload. One of the strongest endorsements I can give is that he has developed a program tailored specifically to my goals, my health concerns, and my abilities. Over time, that has built a level of trust that allows me to focus on the work itself, knowing that each session is designed to move me safely and effectively forward. He is also genuinely passionate about what he does. Every session includes explanations about physiology, training, and conditioning, which I particularly appreciate because I came into this with almost no strength training knowledge. If you're someone who feels intimidated by the gym, is dealing with health concerns, or simply wants knowledgeable coaching that meets you where you are, I highly recommend working with Christian.

On 9/9/2024 I was injured during a massage at Sports Performance Physical Therapy in Chula Vista…read more The LMT had her elbow in the intercostal space of my left anterior chest when I suddenly felt an incredible amount of sharp, stabbing pain. I cried out and requested that she remove her elbow from my chest. The pain in my left chest was excruciating. I was unable to use my left arm without experiencing an enormous amount of pain. Even breathing was painful. Coughing and sneezing were unbearable. When I woke up the next morning, the pain was severe. Based on my symptoms, I was afraid I had a rib fracture. I contacted Cristianah Comaduran, Operations Manager of Sports Performance to notify her of the injury. She spoke with the LMT, who verified what happened. We stayed in contact over the next several weeks. I informed her that I would be filing a claim with their liability insurance and would contact her once I was completely asymptomatic. For the next two weeks, the pain was severe. I was unable to work, do household chores, and help my 4 year son with the things he needed, like getting dressed, bathing, basic ADLs. I filed a short term disability claim through my employer (I'm an ICU nurse). The stipulation for payment is that the first two weeks are unpaid, and then 60% of earnings are paid. This was a great financial burden for my family. The consequences of this injury were costly with low income for the months of October and November. My pain continued to improve until I caught an upper respiratory infection (URI) that caused continuous coughing. The pain was back and it was severe. Each cough and sneeze was excruciating. Once the URI resolved, my pain improved. For two months, the pain and suffering was debilitating, not allowing me to work, exercise, take care of the household, and most importantly, my son. It caused sleepless nights because the pain medication I was prescribed did little to relieve my symptoms, which lead to chronic exhaustion. The findings of my MRI on 11/14/24, which was two months after the injury, showed asymmetric edema at the level of the left third sternocostal joint. Two months after the injury, I still had abnormal results which were consistent with my symptoms. My thoracic spine MRI from 2022 showed none of these injuries. My PCP's impression was that there was a sprain of costal cartilage subsequent encounter. He determined it was costal-sternal joint strain vs developing costochrondritis. Along with pain and suffering, I experienced anxiety and distress due to financial strain. The injury resulted in thousands of dollars of missed wages. In addition, I was unable to accrue paid time off and contribute to my pension and retirement fund. This set me back two months from being vested at work. When I returned to work, I had very little sick or vacation time due to the inability to accrue paid time off (PTO). In January of 2025, I called out sick for 3 shifts (36 hours) when I was sick with the flu. I did not have enough sick time to cover the hours missed. I also received a double occurrence for my absence, which was not cleared from my record until January of 2026. It was worrisome that despite returning to work, the effects of this injury continued to be a financial burden and was affecting my performance review at work. This incident has also resulted in out of pocket costs, such as co-pays and pharmaceuticals, not to mention I was never reimbursed for the massage that started it all!! Perhaps worse than everything, I had to borrow money from my parents, so there's an element of shame in addition to the pain, suffering, and distress. This injury has been costly in terms of lost wages/PTO accrual and out of pocket expenses, not to mention inability to contribute to retirement and inch closer to being vested at my place of employment. I submitted an incredible amount of documents to Sports Performance in attempt to file a claim against their liability insurance. They were extremely difficult to work with and despite my repeated efforts to present all documents they requested, my claim was denied. Total cost for lost wages and out of pocket costs: $20,224.09. Because of this massage, I experienced pain, suffering, chronic exhaustion due to insomnia, anxiety, distress, and shame...and I didn't even get a fucking apology.

I've dealt with nerve pain and back issues for quite some time, and finding Dr. Rice has been a…read moregame changer for me. When I first started treatment, I was looking for relief, but what I found was a chiropractor who genuinely cares about helping his patients get better. Dr. Rice takes the time to listen and understand what you're experiencing. He doesn't use a one-size-fits-all approach--each visit is tailored to how I'm feeling and what my body needs. His knowledge and experience are obvious, and he always explains things in a way that makes sense. Since starting treatment, I've noticed a significant improvement in both my nerve pain and back discomfort. I'm moving better, feeling better, and able to do things that used to aggravate my symptoms. On top of being excellent at what he does, Dr. Rice is personable, professional, and makes every appointment a positive experience. If you're looking for a chiropractor who truly knows his craft and is committed to helping people feel their best, I highly recommend Dr. Rice.

I've been suffering from plantar fasciitis for at least 10 years. It started as a running injury. I…read morestopped running and it seemed to go away. So I started running again. And stoped because of a flare up. And stated again. And stopped... Every time I started to run, sure enough plantar fasciitis returned after a few months. With this latest flare up, I decided to seek medical help. I didn't want to be sidelined continually, and I was getting cranky being in constant pain when I walked. I researched numerous doctors who were covered by my health insurance. Dr Rice seemed to be a good fit in his treatment offerings and I liked the reviews other patients posted. I've been receiving treatment from Dr Rice for just over a month and I'm amazed at the progress of my recovery! I visit 2 times a week and each visit includes electric stimulation and acoustic wave therapy, gua sha, and chiropractic adjustments. My pain went from a 5 or 6 out of 10 down to a 1 or 2. I can walk pain-free, and I've slowly increased my walking mileage. I feel confident that with continued treatment, I'll be pain-free and running again. And I have complete faith Dr Rice will get me there!

The first time we waited about an hour or so to be taken back for an intake interview which is useful but not with Dr. Cadava herself, with another chiro that works there. Both chiropractors are so friendly, knowledgeable, and do great work and they have corrected the issues I had in my back and neck. My main issue and grievance is their scheduling and time management with their patients. Each time we have waited more than 30 min (min) to be seen, most times longer that that. Even after arriving for our 2:00 appt, the first appt slot after they come back from lunch, they are still an hour behind. I have also seen some patients complain about waiting for 2 hours after their appt time. There is also an issue of people walking in and being seen right away while we have been waiting with an appt. Overall, we won't be going back because we have a pretty hectic schedule and don't have the time to accommodate their unpredictable wait times. The doctors are amazing though and do great work on your back and neck.

I know of this place as Chiropractic Care Center run by Dr. Chris Turner. They are extremely nice,…read morecan get me in last minute, and are pretty affordable. The only thing is that he seems to only treat one condition at a time - that is, I've been seeing him for my back, but I have pretty bad pain and stiffness in my neck and shoulders too, and he does not look at them except in passing, and I believe he would require another set of x-rays even to look at them. On my first visit, he asked me what my biggest concern was (my back), but offered to take x-rays of my upper back and shoulders as well for greater cost if I so chose. I tentatively decided yes, but the option was never mentioned again, so my neck pain was never treated. I may continue to see him for my back problems, but I am looking for another chiropractor who can take care of all my alignment/pain issues in one visit.

When I came in for my first appointment I made sure to arrived early in order to complete the intake forms before my 10am appointment.

Being late by 20 mins is just not acceptable when I am already having to take sick time from work to come to the appointment.

I highly recommend Dr. Faragallah to anyone!
