Chiropractors are often thought of as doctors that focus on issues surrounding your back, or more specifically, your spine. While they certainly focus on your spine, chiropractors are essentially joint and nerve specialists. And since all your nerves travel from your brain and through the spinal column, if there is a disruption in any part of the spine, it can significantly affect your ability to function normally.

Our Element Wellness Center team provides the highest quality, compassionate chiropractic care to our patients in San Diego County. Our focus is to provide a holistic approach for the prevention and treatment of disease, pain, and illness, combining the Elements of your life to ensure that you and your family enjoy a long, happy, and healthy life.
Many people who have back pain have been experiencing it for so long that they believe that it's just a regular part of their life. Even after you have taken pain relievers, used heating pads, ice packs, and maybe even bought an expensive, specialized mattress, your pain can still remain. While all of these tools can be used in an attempt to manage your back pain, the actual root cause of the issue has yet to be addressed.
If you are a little confused about what chiropractic care actually entails, you are most certainly not alone. Many people are confused about the nature of chiropractic treatment and the somewhat poor reputation associated with chiropractic care. Let's find out more about this highly successful form of alternative medicine that offers relief to millions of Americans every year.
Many people have some general knowledge about chiropractors, but not many know what to expect during their first appointment. While the process is not complicated, a lack of familiarity can create unnecessary stress and anxiety on patients before they even arrive in the office. Here we have compiled some information to let you know what to expect for your first visit and hopefully ease any anxiety associated with your first visit.
For people who haven't visited a chiropractor, it may be difficult to understand the potential benefits that a chiropractor has to offer. To help clear up some of this confusion we have compiled a list of frequently asked questions and their answers. Chiropractic is one of the safest forms of neuromusculoskeletal treatments available.

Been searching 15 years for a chiropractic clinic that was worth their weight in gold. I've suffered multiple severities of back pain and discomfort with little to no help. Had my first adjustment yesterday and it was an absolute game changer. Very excited to see how my back progresses and improves along with other body parts that are 39 going on 79. Thanks EWC.

I've had horrible neck, and back pain for most of my life and I've gone to several chiropractors, but none of them have helped as much as they have here, some of them weren't even able to help me at all! They're extremely thorough, knowledgeable, genuine and accommodating! They're all amazing but my daughter and I both usually see Dr. Vince, I don't know what we'd do without him! Dr. Vince has gone above and beyond with helping us! Not only are the adjustments amazing, but my teenage daughter's attitude adjustment is as equally amazing (after her adjustment

This place gave me the strangest car sales vibes. They wanted me to commit to a few thousand dollars adjustment package and refused to do single adjustments as needed. I'm a healthy mid 30s yoga teacher and have been seeing a chiropractor occasionally for the last 15 years. I can usually pinpoint where I'm out of alignment and am not in chronic pain. The scare tactics, required ancillary treatments, refusal to work with what my insurance would cover, and refusing to adjust me on the first visit all set off alarms that had me looking elsewhere. Doctors seem really knowledgeable and the

I am giving 5 stars to Element Wellness Center Overall from the beautiful ambience, great attitude of the staff and especially to Dr. Vince who had made me feel comfortable and at ease about the process. I am impressed by the thorough explanation of why I have this on going pains and how they can help heal through targeting the root cause of my decade of suffering. He also explains the process, what to expect and the expected outcome. After just one treatment yesterday? Ahhhh I had a great night sleep and even had an amazing dream. I am not a big on writing a review (time) but this is physically

I was referred to Dr. Vince and Dr. Ryan from another practice in Indianapolis, where my mom started treatment. I could not be happier with the care and treatment I've received while seeing these two- they are top notch and truly CARE about each of their patients!! I feel at home every time I go into the office and have been really pleased with the progress I've made so far. Dr. Vince and Dr. Ryan have changed my perspective on preventative health and I know future me will be beyond thankful!!

So let me start by saying that if your looking for an adjustment here and there, this isn't the place. If your looking to heal from back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, etc. then this is the place if your willing to invest in your health. Yes, it is pricy but you will get the best adjustments you have ever had and that alone is well worth the money. I have been going to Element Wellness for over a year now and I cannot begin to tell you how much better I feel because I invested in my health. Eventually we get to a point in life that we decide we don't want to live in pain any longer and

I love this place. The doctors and staff are outstanding. The check in, care and adjustments all work together to get you on or keep you on the right track. Their hands on approach (no pun intended) produces results. Mainstream medicine could learn a thing or two from this team about patient engagement and care. Our entire family uses them. Wellness abound!

Dr. Vince, Dr. Ryan and their entire staff is exceptionally caring and helpful through every process. I have been treated for several months now and I have had significant relief from nerve pain, reduced migraines and neck pain. It has significantly changed my quality of life to include all of the equipment that I was given to take home to continue with my daily treatment. It is not a 1 or 2 adjustments per week. It is a fully engaged process of you and the team at home and in the office working together to help you. Truly a place for pain relief.

Vince comes across as a cheap car salesman. He will draw you graphs and uses hard-sell tactics for the reasoning behind his over-inflated pricing. I fell for it at first and agreed to sign up for his 3 month treatment plan that at the paid-upfront, cash price comes in at $2700.
After some thought and considering that none of us know if there will be more shutdowns. I had to consider what he was demanding in terms of costs. In 2020 due to circumstances of the pandemic and being forced out of work, I had to go through a chuck of my savings and admittedly I am hesitant to drop nearly $3k for 3 months

I am so grateful to have found Dr. Vince and Dr. Ryan and their fantastic staff at Element Wellness Center. I have a long history of spine surgeries and pain from RA in my joints and thought I had tried literally all treatments to decrease my pain and improve my health until I discovered this center.
I started their chiropractic program a few months ago and was introduced to Stem Cell Machine therapy for pain and amazed at the results so far. I am half way through my treatment plan and have noticed my sleep has improved and my mornings are now bearable (less pain in my shoulders/wrists/hands

If you don't have a significant amount of disposable income, don't waste your time!!!
I found element wellness center through my insurance, I just picked the closest place to my home that was covered. Upon arrival I was not told the stipulations that are required in order to become a returning client at this center. After speaking to the dr and getting X-rays, I was told to come back the next day to go over everything and get my adjustment. No problem at all.

I was running and started to experience severe pain in my mid-back. It became unbearable over the next few days. I tried everything to relieve the pain. After a couple weeks I was looking at Facebook and saw an ad for Element Wellness Center. I decided to book an appointment online. I went in, was thoroughly evaluated and had x-rays done. The next day I reviewed the x-rays with Dr. Vince. It was obvious from the x-rays the pain was being caused by my neck and my hips. He adjusted me and was able to give me some relief. He discussed what it would take to correct the issue once and for all and presented

Due to 20 plus years in the Mechanical Engineering field, I've developed significant back problems. I have seen quite a few physicians but with little or no help. The diagnostic and treatment so have has been life changing from the first visit, answering questions and concerns to personal follow-up. The best service and most importantly significant improvement with my back, posture and pain.

AWESOME!!!
After the first adjustment I was able to turn my head without pain. I went in with a migraine and literally walked out without a migraine and haven't had one since I started the adjustments.
I was also able to step into my right pant leg without having to hold onto something and force my leg up.

This was my first time getting adjusted at a chiropractor and I have nothing but great things to say. First off, the ladies at the front desk are awesome, very welcoming and professional. I then had a very thorough consultation with Dr. Vince which also include X-rays of my spine to see exactly what was going on. Dr. Vince is amazing at what he does, the adjustment is just what I needed and I’m looking forward to going back again for a follow up. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great chiropractic office.

I was skeptical bcos I'd never seen a chiropractor before and I didn't think I needed one. My friend is very persistent so I made the appointment, but was late to my first appointment and had to reschedule. So, I'm at my second scheduled appointment thinking to myself... they won't be able to help me... I was evaluated by Dr Vince who immediately informed me that one leg was longer than the other, which would explain my inability to walk a straight line! Okay, I'm listening... several positions in my spine felt problematic to him. Next, x-rays were taken and we would discuss

I love how welcoming and friendly everyone is! Hands down the best Chiropractor in town! Dr. Hummel and Dr. Bertoloni literally get down to the source of the problem. They let me know where I am at in my progress and let me know what to expect each time as well. The staff are always friendly and answer any questions or concerns you may have. Thank you guys for continuing to help me through my scoliosis and continue helping me throughout this process!

I had never been to a chiropractor before Element Wellness, and after being referred by a friend who has gone here for years I can say they have been totally life changing! I’ve suffered with frequent & severe migraines for years plus I spend my work days hunched over a computer desk so I knew it was time. Both Dr. Vince and Dr. Ryan are so helpful and their entire team is knowledgeable and friendly! I love getting to see my progress with the X-rays for reference of where I started and where I am today... almost entirely migraine free.

Dr. Vince and Dr. Ryan along with his staff are truly amazing and one of a kind. I had been struggling with consistent chronic pain for years. Doctors called me crazy and told me I needed insane surgeries which did not guarantee any less pain. So, when I came to Element Wellness I was skeptical at first and completely apprehensive as they weren't the first chiropractic group I'd tried.
Well was I blown away! First off, just them telling me I wasn't crazy, that they could see why I was in pain was truly a miracle to me. I'm pretty sure I cried! I was even more blown away by

Highly recommend Dr Vince and Dr Ryan's office for chiropractic care. I moved from Florida and was referred by my old chiropractor from years ago and they're EXACTLY what I was looking for and more. I feel like I'm in great hands, can trust them, and have really seen improvement in my symptoms (neck pain) . They are super accommodating with schedules and working with you. I really look forward to coming in. Not to mention, their staff is so kind and sweet too and they're dog friendly (haha)

I love this place.
Dr Ryan and Dr Vince are terrific physicians. I've been a client for 18+ months. My restorative care plan was 9 months (resolving 15 years of pain injury from sports and training). I'm now working on preventative care and athletic performance. I'm a client for life.
Most of my family and co-workers are clients due to Element's approach to health and well-being. From initial consultation they address the full functional of the body and not just a symptom. The care plan is design to do key improvements in the clinic. They then train clients to do most how
