Holistic Care for Diverse Ailments
Our practice is dedicated to helping La Mesa patients find relief from a wide range of conditions.
Chronic back pain: Whether it’s centered in the lower back or the upper back, we focus on restoring proper spinal alignment for lasting relief.
Herniated or bulging discs: We use precise, non-invasive techniques to ease the pain and pressure that come with disc issues, supporting your spine’s natural healing.
Neck pain: We identify what’s actually driving your discomfort — posture, injury, or tension — and correct it directly, helping many patients feel at ease throughout the day.
Headaches and migraines: Frequent or severe head pain often traces back to upper cervical misalignment — correcting that can reduce both how often it strikes and how hard.
Sciatica, pinched nerves, and vertigo: Gentle, targeted adjustments help release pressure on affected nerves and restore your body’s natural sense of balance.
Degenerative disc disease and spinal stenosis: As spinal discs and structures naturally change over time, we offer targeted care to ease discomfort and support long-term spinal health.
TMJ disorders: Jaw tension often connects back to upper cervical alignment — we treat the whole picture, not just the joint.
Concussions: Head trauma affects the nervous system in ways that go beyond a headache, and we support a full, steady recovery.
At Intouch Chiropractic, Dr. Devin Young and Dr. Jeanett Tapia are dedicated partners in your pursuit of lasting health and well-being.

"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."

Does Intouch Chiropractic Have a Location in La Mesa?
We don't have a physical office in La Mesa, but we welcome patients from La Mesa and the surrounding East County area at our Mission Valley office, a short drive west on I-8.
Why Do La Mesa Patients Drive to Mission Valley Instead of Seeing a Local Chiropractor?
There are currently no NUCCA-certified providers in La Mesa. Upper cervical chiropractic takes years of specialized training beyond a standard chiropractic degree, so it's simply not something every office offers. Our La Mesa patients tell us the drive is worth it for adjustments measured in millimeters, not the twisting and cracking of traditional chiropractic care.
How Far Is Mission Valley from La Mesa?
It's about a 15-minute drive west on I-8 from La Mesa to our Mission Valley office, depending on traffic.
What Conditions Do You Treat for La Mesa 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.
