Our History
Sheppard Spine and Sports Clinic was founded by Dr. Kenny Sheppard, a renowned NUCCA chiropractor with over 31 years of experience. Dr. Sheppard is one of the few doctors trained in the NUCCA system and is known for his expertise in upper cervical chiropractic care. Dr. Sheppard has undergone extensive post-doctorate training in biomechanics, neurology, X-ray, and clinical management. Under his leadership, our clinic has established itself as a premier chiropractic facility in San Diego.
Our Services
At Sheppard Spine and Sports Clinic, we offer a comprehensive range of services designed to promote optimal health and wellness. Our treatment options include:
NUCCA Chiropractic Technique
Our NUCCA specialists use a unique, measured spinal technique that does not involve twisting or cracking of the neck. This gentle approach is suitable for adults, youth, and children. Using true plane spinography X-rays, we accurately measure the degree of atlas misalignment and correct it to restore proper spinal function.
SpineMED Decompression
Our SpineMED system is a non-surgical, drug-free procedure that promotes health and hydration to damaged intervertebral discs. This treatment is exceptionally comfortable and effective in addressing herniated discs, bulging discs, pinched nerves, and more.
Active Release Therapy
Our expertly trained therapists, Dan and Cory, utilize a patented system that addresses problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves. This state-of-the-art technology helps alleviate pain, restore range of motion, and improve overall athletic performance.
Low-Level Laser Therapy
We employ the Erchonia Cold Laser and Biolase Class 4 Laser for deep tissue therapy, providing clinically proven pain relief for conditions such as upper and lower back pain, neck pain, sprained ankles, and more.
Orthopedic Rehabilitation
With our expertise in orthopedic rehabilitation, we design personalized exercise programs to speed up the recovery process and prevent future injuries. Our CHEK practitioners have the necessary skills and knowledge to craft high-performance exercise programs that benefit the mind, body, and spirit.
Naturopathic Medicine
Dr. Corey Sheppard, a California-licensed naturopathic doctor, offers a holistic approach to health and wellness, focusing on prevention, maintenance, and treatment of chronic diseases using natural therapies and minimally invasive techniques.
