At Gerbode Chiropractic Center, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic pain relief and wellness care. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services we offer at our Costa Mesa office.

Chiropractic Care

We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing "state of the art" techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before.  As a Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Gerbode has over 25 years of training and experience in gentle spinal adjustment.  He also has advanced training in trigger-point therapy and myofascial release methods, which are used to retrain the soft-tissues that connect the body frame.  Dr. Gerbode is a former instructor in the treatment of sports injuries, holds many advanced certificates, and is an award-winning member of many councils and chiropractic associations. 

 AquaMed Dry Hydrotherapy

This state-of-the-art device combines the proven benefits of massage, heat and whirlpool therapies.  Lay back, fully-clothed, on the cushioned bed and relax while powerful waves of heated water massage your muscles through a flexible barrier.  Use the touch-screen control to modify the pressure, speed and location of your massage experience.  Benefits include relaxation, decreased muscle tension, increased blood and lymph circulation, better oxygen absorption, release of endorphins and elimination of toxins.  15 to 30 minute sessions leave you feeling relaxed and refreshed. 

 Corrective Exercises

We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home, and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in proper balance and in better health.

Lifestyle Advice

We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenges. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each of our patients is a whole person, and that helping them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between health professionals and their patients.

Nutritional Counseling

We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patient´s return to optimal health.  Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you?  Dr. Gerbode can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs, health history and lifestyle challenges.  For those that need them, we have high-potency, professional-formulation vitamins, minerals and herbs available in our office that can only be sold by health professionals.

Spinal Screenings & Onsite Ergonomic Analysis

Posture and spinal screenings can reveal important health information and unlock the door to improved health and well-being. We perform screenings at community events, health fairs and places of employment. Dr. Gerbode is available to personally conduct workplace ergonomic evaluations, so that on-the-job injuries can be prevented. Contact us today to arrange a screening at your event or workplace, or to schedule a tour of your work facility.

Exercise & Fitness Counseling

If desired, we can assist you in getting the most out of your exercise or sports activities, while minimizing the risk of injury.  What kind of exercises are safe for you to perform at the gym?  Should you be running, cycling or swimming?  Should you be more concerned with strength, or with flexibility in your training?  Dr. Gerbode is an expert in the fields of sports injury treatment & prevention, and exercise physiology.  His personalized recommendations can help you reach your fitness goals faster without hurting yourself!
