just now New What an amazing journey. From barely being able to tie my shoes 12 weeks ago to being back on the golf course and fully able to play with my kids; I can't say thank you enough. Dr Choi and his staff helped me get back to my life on the go. I consider them more than my treatment team, they are family. Go and see what they can do for you and your challenges. I'd did based on a friend's recommendation and I am so glad I don't have to have surgery and that I'm back up and running. My back and my sleep pattern is outstanding. read more

Torrey Pines Chiropractic - Me standing up straight without pain - Chiropractors Near Me - San Diego, California

Had severe sciatic pain (felt like knives were being stabbed into my hips every morning when I woke up, migrating pain up and down my leg, tingling sensation). Dr. Choi diagnosed it immediately as a L4-L5 bulging disc (later confirmed with MRI) and suggested decompression therapy. Claiming a 95%+ success rate, I was skeptical at first but after 3 months of enduring the pain, I went for it. I'm so glad I did!!! I just finished the 24 sessions and I am near 100% back to normal!! Can't thank Genesis Back & Neck and Dr. Choi enough for giving back my mobility! read more

Dr. Choi is the best. He treated me for multiple sports injuries, and I wouldn't have been able to keep going without him. His adjustments and advice are top notch. I could not recommend him more. read more

I wanted to give the team at Torrey Pines Chiro a quick shout out for care and professionalism. I called to check if they took my insurance and unfortunately they did not. However they stayed on the phone with me for about 5 minutes answering my questions about chiropractic therapy, how to find good chiropractic help and different techniques. I felt that they're very professional and most importantly cared about my health and helping me even though they knew I wasn't going to be a client. read more

Dr. Choi is smart he researches checks your health checks past injuries MRIs he's very thorough

I have suffered with debilitating lower back pain for years. I was diagnosed with three bulging discs in the lower lumbar region and three in the thoracic region. I had tried everything i could think of, acupuncture, energy work, massage, herbs, medication, cortisone shots, the works. Yet still i was in such pain that i could barely walk a block. I was taking a muscle relaxer and heavy narcotics at night because i was in so much pain i couldn't sleep. A friend took me to see Dr. Rick Loos. The first time i saw him it was actually for a neck adjustment because i had been having horrible headaches. He adjusted my neck, but didn't adjust anything else. He said due to my sensitivity he wanted to see how i did with the neck adjustment before he tried anything else. After two neck adjustments my headaches, which were almost daily, went away. I was on the waiting list for the DRX and after about a month I began treatment on the DRX machine. I have limited insurance and income and he went above and beyond to make it possible for me to receive the treatments i needed. I began treatment in April and just finished my last one on Thursday September 6th. Because i had suffered so long the first few treatments were pretty rough, but i hung in there. My Father had similar problems and the DRX had helped him so much i wanted to give it a chance. Again Dr Loos was able to drop the weight and help me get through the first few treatments. I really have no words to express my gratitude to him for his help and kindness. I had seen other chiropractors and even tried going to my favorite chiropractor in Indiana when i went home for a visit, but regular adjustments only caused more pain. I can say with certainty that Dr Loos has given me my life back. I am a Yogi. Due to the intense pain i have not been able to sit to meditate or do much stretching or yoga for years, even physical therapy made things worse. I can now sit for over an hour at a time for meditation, i can walk miles, i can hike, play, and even dance in moderation. I am still rebuilding strength but am so happy with my progress. When i began treatment i had not been able to sleep on my right side for almost two years due to hip pain. If I fell asleep on my right side i would wake in so much pain that it would take me up to an hour get the pain to subside and fall back asleep. I can now sleep on my right side. I am off narcotics and i will always be grateful for his help. read more

Dr. Rick is awesome. He specializes in helping athletes and he is really good at his job. He is gentle and quick. Dr. Rick worked on my newborn son because he came out of the birth canal too quick and he is one of the few chiropractors I would trust to work on a newborn. He has helped me immensely in recovering from the birth of my son and return to my athletic endeavors. read more

Torrey Pines Chiropractic - Dr. Rick's picture in his lobby of him ripping in tavarua - Chiropractors Near Me - San Diego, California

Every time I get an adjustment from Dr. Rick, I walk out of his office completely pain free. He is by far one of the best chiropractors you will ever come across. He is a great listener, and has an incredible amount of knowledge when it comes to back health. And most of all he is very skilled with his technique of adjusting my neck and back. I have referred friends and family to him and everyone has been very satisfied with his treatments. His office is very easy to get to in Del Mar and parking is always easy to find. If you are looking for the best chiropractor in North County San Diego, go to Dr. Rick!! read more

Dr Choi is awesome! Very practical approach to treatment, listens well, very skilled and thorough, genuinely cares about my wellness. Pinched nerve is no fun but I know I'm in good hands read more

Dr. Choi is magic!!! I tweaked my lower back doing lunges one evening and after a few strategic visits and some at-home exercises and stretches, I'm good as new. Such a relief! The pain was excruciating after the tweak and I was scared the damage could be devastating​. However, one month later I can say I'm 90% better with no doubt I will be 100% in no time. Many praises and thanks to Dr. Choi!!! read more

I had to come home from college in April on medical leave because I was suddenly bed ridden with back pain and fatigue as of February. When I returned home I saw rhuematologists, neurologists, orthopedists, etc. All believed I had fibromyalgia and placed me on crazy medications that did nothing but worsen my symptoms. After 8 months and no improvement, my life at a standstill, I saw Dr. Rick Loos. Within 2 minutes of seeing me, he said it was obvious I had a pinched nerve in my neck and two misaligned ribs. I left his office with no pain for the first time in 8 months. You would think after having countless xrays my doctors would have noticed that!!! Chiropractors are extremely underrated and Rick Loos is a lifesaver. He is truly gifted at what he does. read more

Dr. Choi is amazing. The fact that I see him when I'm in town from Boston, is telling. He's that good! My mom has worked with him for years, and he has saved her from headaches, knee pain and back pain- well beyond the traditional medical approach could help her. read more

Dr. Rick is amazing. He has helped my back pain tremendously. Along with getting my wrist to not be in pain anymore. By far the best chiropractor you'll find! read more

Run, don't walk to Torrey Pines Chiropractic. Dr. Rick gave me hope again. And for those of you who suffer from chronic back issues, you know how important that is. Dr. Martin Choi is just as positive and patient as Dr. Rick. They complement eachother well. I have 3 bulging discs in my lower back plus scoliosis. I've been doing physical therapy on and off and monitoring my work outs for years. I was so frustrating with my latest therapist when a friend mentioned Dr. Rick. Between the DRX machine, recommedations about daily exercises and work outs and minor adjustments, I've felt better than I have in years, Thanks for Dr. Rick and Dr. Choi. read more

Dr. Choi is just wonderful. He is the only one I would trust to adjust my neck. I always feel better after an adjustment.

I've known Dr. Rick since he was an intern at my former Chiropractor's Office in the 1990s. When my former chiropractor moved, I looked Rick up. I've known Dr. Choi since he joined Rick at Torrey Pines Chiropractic. I'm always impressed with their philosophy which is to get people better and prevent future injuries. I have degenerative disc disease in my neck. The curve is reversed from a couple of traumatic injuries. The discs look bad on an MRI. I'm in my 50s. My family physician is impressed that I have great range of motion, minimal pain and minimal nerve symptoms. I attribute that to what Dr. Rick and Dr. Choi have done for me and taught me to do to care for my neck over the years. If you're skeptical of Chiropractic, that's OK. My M.D was skeptical, too. Now she goes to Dr. Rick herself. read more

Dr. Choi is very good and so is Dr. Rick. They know whether they are doing for whatever issue you have. Anytime I have a sports injury they usually correct it. read more

I have to admit I have never seen much use for a chiropractor, but Dr. Choi completely proved me wrong. I pulled my neck muscle working out (ughhhh the perils of being 30!) and was super scared at the time since I have never really had any serious injuries in my life. I don't know if pulling a neck muscle counts as a serious injury, but it sure felt life threatening at the time when I couldn't move my head in any direction at all! After 3 days of some serious pain I had to do something...anything! I went to see Dr. Choi and he cracked my neck twice (scary!), then my back (that part felt great!) and that was it...with 3 cracks I felt soooooo much better! I wasn't miraculously cured by any means, but I definitely gained some range of motion and am now definitely a chiropractic fan. read more

Dr Choi is professional and caring. Highly recommend. Decompression therapy is doing the job after horrible pain for months. Do yourself a favor and book a consultation. read more

Dr. Martin Choi is the best chiropractor!!! I get adjusted regularly and he makes me feel better every time I see him. I highly recommend him. read more

Dr. Rick and his receptionist, Ali, were so kind and made my first experience at this chiropractor office wonderful. I felt so comfortable, absolutely beyond what I anticipated. I came in with a nasty pain in my neck; come to find out I was all twisted up, with a rib out too. Now I have full range of motion in my neck, and pain free. The BEST part, I slept last night better than I had had in months! Woo hoo! Chiropractors will always be apart of my wellness routine, and Dr. Rick is someone I will recommend to everyone! read more

We have been going to Dr. Rick for the last 6 years. He always takes the time to explain what is going on with the body, why we are experiencing pain from it, and has even spent time giving us instructions on specific stretches that we can do at home to address the problem areas. Our experience has been so positive that we even started taking our boys (since they were 11 and 8) for adjustments to address posture issues etc. And yes, we always walk out feeling way better than when we walked in. read more

I am a total skeptic when it comes to chiropractic. However, I am now a believer and I have seen the light!! One year and three mattresses (very expensive one I might add) later I am now sleeping pain free and through the night thanks to Dr. Rick. About 15 months ago I started having terrible back pain during the night. It got so bad that I actually had to get out of bed, sometimes at 3am. Being that we had a mattress that was about 7 years old and that it started to get a little mushy I chalked it up to the mattress. So we went down to our local Mattress Discounters, who by the way is also Sleep Train, and laid on no less than 20 different mattresses from every vendor out there. To make a long story short, we went through three different mattresses and none of them helped my back. We finally settled on a Simmons Beautyrest Black Label which is a stupidly expensive mattress. Every night I would still wake up in pain cursing my new (and rather pricey) mattress which I now had buyers remorse for. I started to think that this is what the rest of my life would be like and I was horrified by this. I decided it was time to see a Chiropractor and a doctor. So I called a very close friend who was a Chiropractor in Oregon and explained the situation to him. I told him the story to see what he thought and to get his opinion and that I had scheduled an appointment to see a Chiropractor. He told me that it actually sounds like it might be internal and to go see a primary care physician in addition to the Chiropractor. I scheduled the appointment with the chiropractor for Tuesday and my doctor for Thursday. Tuesday came, went to see Dr Rick and he told me I had a rib in my back that felt a little out of place. Before i knew it i was contorted like a pretzel and what sounded like a firework show in my spine actually felt really good. I scheduled a followup visit for a week later and left. I went home that night and woke up in pain. The same happened Wednesday. Thursday I went to the Physician and she was dumbfounded by the whole thing and ordered a CT scan and two back x-rays. Friday morning I woke up to the sound of my alarm at 7:30am. I looked around the room to see if I was dreaming. I sat up and all of a sudden it hit me. I had slept all night long and my back didn't hurt AT ALL!!!! I couldn't wait to go to bed again to see if this was just a freak thing. Saturday night I slept like a baby. I called Dr Rick and told him the story. It wasn't news to his ears as he's probably heard stories like this all too often. Was it the psychological effect of having just gone to the doctor or was it Dr. Rick? I am now convinced that it was the latter. I have been sleeping through the night ever since, pain free, and I owe it all to Dr Rick. I am a believer and I have seen the light! And I LOVE my new mattress. PS - I canceled the CT and the X-Rays. read more

Wow, hands down, the best chiropractic practice in town. I went to Dr. Rick because I was having real bad neck pain that was numbing all the way down to my elbows. I thought well, this'll take some crazy therapy to fix, as I am a body builder and have had a lot of injuries throughout the years. Not the case here. I was in and out within 15 minutes and I came out feeling like a different person. My range of motion was so much better, i felt so much more loose and best of all, the pain had calmed so much more. Truly impressive stuff. As long as these guys don't go anywhere else, then neither am I!! read more

Dr. Choi is terrific. His treatment led to immediate relief for long sustained pain. They'll work with you insurance program and don't try to oversell you on treatments. Simple, clean environment and they stay on schedule. I highly recommend Torrey Pines Chiropractic. read more

I lived with constant neck pain, pressure in my temples, migraines, and never a restful night sleep for a year. Then I was referred to Dr. Rick Loos, and my life truly changed. After just one week my neck pain was gone. It's been three months with no migraine, when I was getting them once a week. The pressure in my temples completely gone and best of all I sleep through the night. Dr. Loos' "Proper Pillow", is a big part of my success. I cant thank him enough for giving me my life back pain free. read more

Dr. Rick is a God send. He pin point my exact pain, how it got there, and explained in detail what he would do and approximately how long to fix it. He has a sweet and gentle bedside manner. He's listens to every word you say with patience and understanding. I am extrememly grateful for all he has done and continues to do. As for the office staff, they are amazing. I am always greeted with a smile and friendly hello. They are very warm and welcoming. PS. I don't normally ever leave reviews but I felt Dr. Rick and staff really need to be acknowledged for their outstanding job that they do. So GREAT job! read more

We have a 3 month old baby boy who has had a hard time turning his neck to one side from a bit of a traumatic birth. A friend of mine said her little guy had the same issue and recommended Dr Choi. I am so glad she did! Dr Choi was wonderful! He knew exactly what was troubling our little guy and was able to correct it. I was nervous before going in because I couldn't imagine this tiny little baby getting an adjustment, but Dr Choi had me hold him and he was extremely gentle that baby boy didn't seem to even notice. It was amazing to me that by the time I went out to the waiting room he could already move his head in both directions! I am so grateful Dr Choi knew exactly what he needed and how to help him get there. I must say what impressed me the most was that evening, after hours, he gave me a phone call just to see how baby boy was doing and have a phone conversation with even more explanation and how I can help him at home too. I truly believe those in the medical field that have the ability to heal but are also people who care can really do the most good and Dr Choi is one of those. Thank you so much!! read more

I am normally very leery of chiropractors. I have run into too many who feel that weekly adjustments will solve world hunger and bring peace to the middle east. Dr. Rick isn't like that. Don't get me wrong, he is concerned with good back health but he was focused on my pain rather than promising me mythical restoration. Relieved my pain and gave me some great advice on how to maintain. read more

I have struggled with chronic headaches and lower back pain for many years now. I have seen other chiropractors and physical therapists in the past, but I none have worked as consistently and as well as Dr. Choi's treatment. My headaches are fewer and less intense than they have ever been, and I no longer spend my evenings laying on the floor clutching a heating pad! I have even been able to complete a half marathon, and am starting to train for the next! He is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, I would highly recommend him to all my friends and family. read more

Dr. Martin Choi rocks! He really helped me along during my pregnancy. Yes, who knew you could get adjusted while pregnant!??? He is so knowledgable! I would highly recommend him to EVERYONE! read more

After years of hearing my husband Jim suffering in agony and pain, a friend of his recommended Dr. Rick to us. Rick checked Jim out and recommended an MRI. Upon review of the MRI, Dr. Rick recommended traction treatments for his L3,4,&5 disk problems, and core exercises. After numerous treatments and core strengthening, he has a new lease on life! Thanks to Rick & Martin's treatments and advice. read more

I saw Dr. Rick for years and was sad to move away from such a great doctor. It's hard to find a good chiropractor that you can really trust. He is amazing - very smart, professional, listens to your problems, and genuinely wants to help you get better. I have had multiple issues with my ribs, neck, and back getting out. He has greatly helped me. He is wonderful and I highly recommend Torrey Pines Chiropractic! read more
