Vertebral subluxation is the partial dislocation of a spinal vertebra from its normal position, which is why it causes us pain, muscle tenderness, inflammation and can even decrease the spinal mobility. A vertebral subluxation is a stress response. Muscles go into spasm. Spinal bones lock up. And adjacent nerves are choked or chafed.
This interferes with the control and regulation of your body. This garbles communications between the brain and parts of your body. Generally, misaligned vertebrae in the spine are easily recognized, particularly those in the upper portion of the vertebral column. However, less easily found and often overlooked are misalignments in the foundation or lower portions of the spine.

Chronic Lower back pain is one of the greatest health care issues facing people today. Over 80% of the population will experience episodes of lower back problems in their lifetime. If not properly corrected, these stresses will build over time leading to greater stresses on the muscles, ligaments and discs in the lower back.
Several of our clients have expressed the desire to speak out, sharing with all the impact that Chiropractic, and specifically care under Dr. Thornton, has had on their health and their life. I was unsure at first whether Chiropractic could help me, but now I am very happy that my husband 'dragged' me in to see Dr. Thornton.

My neck specialist, Dr. Dennis Harding in Auburn CA, sent me to Gonstead Chiropractor Dr. Jason Thornton after I was hit by a car while walking into Costco. My knee had a fractured tibia and three Grade III meniscal tears.
You know you're with the right doctor when he's the gold standard/chiropractors' choice for knee work! He's not the usual 'cookie cutter chiro', same adjustment for everyone kind of guy. He's super thoughtful, friendly, kind, listens well, is knowledgeable, has a great sense of humor, is compassionate, professional, experienced, understanding

After having trouble with my sciatic nerve for years, being in so much pain than I thought I was going to lose it, Dr. Thorton 100% changed my life for the better. I've been to other chiropractors before him, and had come to believe, that all chiropractors were hacks, and con artists. Ask nine out of 10 people you know, they will always say their guy is the best, if you're still in pain, and you don't go see Dr. Thorton, you're wasting your valuable time and life. Only drawback, he definitely needs to hire more help in the billing department.

Dr. Thornton is a good guy. He has a good command of the chiropractic arts and I appreciate the extra training he has received, specifically for the elbows and wrists. It's great to have him in the Rocklin area. A visit to his office promises a thorough exam and treatment plan. You will receive targeted adjustments and the doc will have you feeling better in no time.

I was blessed to have been referred to Dr Thornton's office. At the time I was seen by 3 orthopedist and my MD to have surgery on my left arm I could not hold a paper clip a piece of paper I couldn't raise my arm I was in dire straits, not really sure if he could help. With Dr Thornton's help now my left arm is my strong arm and am back to being able to enjoy things like hugging my kids and to me that means the world to me. My son also comes frequently to get adjusted after playing sports. I highly recommend this practice to all. :)
Faithful client since 2009.

Dr. Thornton's office is extremely professional and efficient. I have had three back surgeries and initially was very hesitant to see a chiropractor. However my decision to see Dr. Thornton was a good one. He carefully listened to my concerns and was very thorough in explaining what his treatment would provide. I would certainly recommend him and have a great deal of confidence in his skill. His staff is cordial and welcoming.

Where did my review go!? Dr Thornton has been SAVING my soccer career! I almost always have an injury in my legs and this man is magic and is basically a human x-ray and MRI machine. Every time I have some sort of pain, he's able to locate it, adjust it and get me back on my feet.
I actually had ACL surgery in 2011. After 1.5 years, I still wasn't able to get back on the field since I couldn't straighten my leg. That is when I stopped seeing the surgeon and physical therapists and came and saw Dr Thornton. After a few visits, I was able to straighten my leg and get back on the
