El Cajon patients make the short trip west — and quickly understand why.
El Cajon's Trusted Chiropractic Care,
Just a Short Drive Away
El Cajon patients looking for a chiropractor who treats the cause, not just the symptoms, drive about 15 minutes west on I-8 to our Mission Valley office — and patients tell us it’s worth the trip. Dr. Devin Young, DC, DCCJP, and Dr. Jeanett Tapia, DC, ACP built Intouch Chiropractic around a precise, gentle approach to upper cervical care. It’s hard to find in a typical chiropractic office. For El Cajon patients dealing with chronic pain, migraines, or recurring injuries, that short drive west often becomes the difference between managing symptoms and actually resolving them.
Our Team
Dr. Devin Young, DC, DCCJP
Dr. Young’s credentials go well beyond a standard chiropractic degree — as a Diplomate in Craniocervical Junction Procedures (DCCJP), he brings a specialized depth of knowledge that sets him apart. He approaches every El Cajon patient with the same relentless focus: identify the true problem and build a tailored treatment plan that produces real, lasting relief. Transparency is central to how he works, and patients consistently leave feeling informed, comfortable, and confident in their care.
Dr. Jeanett Tapia, DC, ACP
Dr. Tapia is the kind of chiropractor who makes patients feel heard from the moment they walk in. Her deep well of experience across a wide range of chiropractic techniques allows her to customize care for each individual — never a one-size-fits-all approach. El Cajon patients trust Dr. Tapia to deliver the highest standard of care with the compassion and efficiency needed to restore their quality of life as quickly as possible.
Targeted Relief for the Conditions That Affect You Most
El Cajon patients come to us for relief from a wide range of conditions. We treat chronic back pain and herniated or bulging discs by restoring proper spinal alignment rather than masking the pain. We address neck pain, headaches, and migraines by correcting the upper cervical misalignments that often drive them. For patients dealing with pinched nerves, sciatica, or vertigo, our gentle, precise adjustments help release pressure and restore balance naturally. We also provide dedicated care for degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, TMJ disorders, and concussion recovery.
We're Proud to Offer These Services
- Spinal Decompression Therapy: Non-surgical traction therapy that relieves pressure on compressed discs and nerves, often used for herniated discs and sciatica.
- MLS Laser Therapy: Advanced Class IV laser technology that reduces inflammation and accelerates healing in soft tissue and joint injuries.
- Shockwave Therapy: Acoustic wave treatment that stimulates the body's natural repair process for chronic tendon and soft tissue conditions.
- NUCCA Chiropractic: A precise, gentle upper cervical technique that corrects misalignment at the top of the spine to restore proper nervous system function.
- Class IV Laser Therapy: High-powered laser treatment that penetrates deep into tissue to reduce pain and inflammation and speed recovery.
- Chiropractic Care: Comprehensive adjustments and hands-on treatment tailored to each patient's specific condition and goals.

"I have had chronic low back pain and sciatica for over 10 years. After trying regular chiro, massages, stretching etc for years, I luckily found Dr Tapia and Dr Young and their amazing team. This is the first time in years I have had sustained relief from my symptoms. My days are far more enjoyable and sleep is much better. I highly recommend Intouch and wish I had found them sooner."

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions

Does Intouch Chiropractic Have a Location in El Cajon?
We don't have a physical office in El Cajon, but we welcome patients from El Cajon and the surrounding area at our Mission Valley office, just a short drive west on I-8.
Why Do El Cajon Patients Drive to Mission Valley Instead of Seeing a Local Chiropractor?
Most chiropractors rely on high-velocity adjustments throughout the spine. NUCCA is different — it's a gentle, precise correction focused on the atlas, measured in millimeters, with no popping, cracking, or twisting. Combined with advanced spinal decompression, Class IV laser, and shockwave therapy, it's a level of specialized care that isn't available at every neighborhood chiropractic office. For many El Cajon patients, the 15-minute drive is a small trade-off for care that gets to the actual cause of their pain.
How Far Is Mission Valley from El Cajon?
It's about a 15-minute drive west on I-8 from El Cajon to our Mission Valley office, depending on traffic.
What Conditions Do You Treat for El Cajon Patients?
We treat chronic back pain, migraines, headaches, neck pain, sciatica, vertigo, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, TMJ disorders, pinched nerves, and concussion recovery using NUCCA upper cervical chiropractic, spinal decompression, and laser and shockwave therapy.
