Torrey Pines Chiropractic

Dr. Choi is amazing. The fact that I see him when I’m in town from Boston, is telling. He’s that good! My mom has worked with him for years, and he has saved her from headaches, knee pain and back pain– well beyond the traditional medical approach could help her.

We have been going to Dr. Rick for the last 6 years. He always takes the time to explain what is going on with the body, why we are experiencing pain from it, and has even spent time giving us instructions on specific stretches that we can do at home to address the problem areas. Our experience has been so positive that we even started taking our boys (since they were 11 and 8) for adjustments to address posture issues etc. And yes, we always walk out feeling way better than when we walked in.

Dr. Rick is awesome. He specializes in helping athletes and he is really good at his job. He is gentle and quick. Dr. Rick worked on my newborn son because he came out of the birth canal too quick and he is one of the few chiropractors I would trust to work on a newborn. He has helped me immensely in recovering from the birth of my son and return to my athletic endeavors.

Every time I get an adjustment from Dr. Rick, I walk out of his office completely pain free. He is by far one of the best chiropractors you will ever come across. He is a great listener, and has an incredible amount of knowledge when it comes to back health. And most of all he is very skilled with his technique of adjusting my neck and back. I have referred friends and family to him and everyone has been very satisfied with his treatments. His office is very easy to get to in Del Mar and parking is always easy to find.
If you are looking for the best chiropractor in North County San Diego, go to Dr. Rick!

Dr. Choi is very good and so is Dr. Rick. They know whether they are doing for whatever issue you have. Anytime I have a sports injury they usually correct it.

I am normally very leery of chiropractors. I have run into too many who feel that weekly adjustments will solve world hunger and bring peace to the middle east. Dr. Rick isn’t like that. Don’t get me wrong, he is concerned with good back health but he was focused on my pain rather than promising me mythical restoration. Relieved my pain and gave me some great advice on how to maintain.

Dr. Rick is amazing. He has helped my back pain tremendously. Along with getting my wrist to not be in pain anymore. By far the best chiropractor you’ll find!

Dr. Choi is terrific. His treatment led to immediate relief for long sustained pain. They’ll work with you insurance program and don’t try to oversell you on treatments. Simple, clean environment and they stay on schedule. I highly recommend Torrey Pines Chiropractic.

I lived with constant neck pain, pressure in my temples, migraines, and never a restful night sleep for a year. Then I was referred to Dr. Rick Loos, and my life truly changed. After just one week my neck pain was gone. It’s been three months with no migraine, when I was getting them once a week. The pressure in my temples completely gone and best of all I sleep through the night. Dr. Loos’ «Proper Pillow», is a big part of my success. I cant thank him enough for giving me my life back pain free.

Wow, hands down, the best chiropractic practice in town. I went to Dr. Rick because I was having real bad neck pain that was numbing all the way down to my elbows. I thought well, this’ll take some crazy therapy to fix, as I am a body builder and have had a lot of injuries throughout the years. Not the case here. I was in and out within 15 minutes and I came out feeling like a different person. My range of motion was so much better, i felt so much more loose and best of all, the pain had calmed so much more. Truly impressive stuff. As long as these guys don’t go anywhere else, then neither am I!

I had to come home from college in April on medical leave because I was suddenly bed ridden with back pain and fatigue as of February. When I returned home I saw rhuematologists, neurologists, orthopedists, etc. All believed I had fibromyalgia and placed me on crazy medications that did nothing but worsen my symptoms. After 8 months and no improvement, my life at a standstill, I saw Dr. Rick Loos. Within 2 minutes of seeing me, he said it was obvious I had a pinched nerve in my neck and two misaligned ribs. I left his office with no pain for the first time in 8 months. You would think after having countless xrays my doctors would have noticed that!!! Chiropractors are extremely underrated and Rick Loos is a lifesaver. He is truly gifted at what he does.

I saw Dr. Rick for years and was sad to move away from such a great doctor. It’s hard to find a good chiropractor that you can really trust. He is amazing — very smart, professional, listens to your problems, and genuinely wants to help you get better. I have had multiple issues with my ribs, neck, and back getting out. He has greatly helped me. He is wonderful and I highly recommend Torrey Pines Chiropractic!

Run, don’t walk to Torrey Pines Chiropractic. Dr. Rick gave me hope again. And for those of you who suffer from chronic back issues, you know how important that is. Dr. Martin Choi is just as positive and patient as Dr. Rick. They complement eachother well. I have 3 bulging discs in my lower back plus scoliosis. I’ve been doing physical therapy on and off and monitoring my work outs for years. I was so frustrating with my latest therapist when a friend mentioned Dr. Rick. Between the DRX machine, recommedations about daily exercises and work outs and minor adjustments, I’ve felt better than I have in years, Thanks for Dr. Rick and Dr. Choi.

I’ve known Dr. Rick since he was an intern at my former Chiropractor’s Office in the 1990s. When my former chiropractor moved, I looked Rick up. I’ve known Dr. Choi since he joined Rick at Torrey Pines Chiropractic.
I’m always impressed with their philosophy which is to get people better and prevent future injuries.
I have degenerative disc disease in my neck. The curve is reversed from a couple of traumatic injuries. The discs look bad on an MRI. I’m in my 50s. My family physician is impressed that I have great range of motion, minimal pain and minimal nerve symptoms. I attribute that to what Dr. Rick and Dr. Choi have done for me and taught me to do to care for my neck over the years.
If you’re skeptical of Chiropractic, that’s OK. My M. D was skeptical, too. Now she goes to Dr. Rick herself.

This is the only doctor I should have seen my entire life. It is life changing. I am now finally on my way to recovery.

After years of hearing my husband Jim suffering in agony and pain, a friend of his recommended Dr. Rick to us. Rick checked Jim out and recommended an MRI. Upon review of the MRI, Dr. Rick recommended traction treatments for his L3,4,&5 disk problems, and core exercises. After numerous treatments and core strengthening, he has a new lease on life! Thanks to Rick & Martin’s treatments and advice.

Dr. Martin Choi rocks! He really helped me along during my pregnancy. Yes, who knew you could get adjusted while pregnant??? He is so knowledgable! I would highly recommend him to EVERYONE!

I have suffered with debilitating lower back pain for years. I was diagnosed with three bulging discs in the lower lumbar region and three in the thoracic region. I had tried everything i could think of, acupuncture, energy work, massage, herbs, medication, cortisone shots, the works. Yet still i was in such pain that i could barely walk a block. I was taking a muscle relaxer and heavy narcotics at night because i was in so much pain i couldn’t sleep. A friend took me to see Dr. Rick Loos.
The first time i saw him it was actually for a neck adjustment because i had been having horrible headaches. He adjusted my neck, but didn’t adjust anything else. He said due to my sensitivity he wanted to see how i did with the neck adjustment before he tried anything else. After two neck adjustments my headaches, which were almost daily, went away. I was on the waiting list for the DRX and after about a month I began treatment on the DRX machine.
I have limited insurance and income and he went above and beyond to make it possible for me to receive the treatments i needed. I began treatment in April and just finished my last one on Thursday September 6^th. Because i had suffered so long the first few treatments were pretty rough, but i hung in there.
My Father had similar problems and the DRX had helped him so much i wanted to give it a chance. Again Dr Loos was able to drop the weight and help me get through the first few treatments. I really have no words to express my gratitude to him for his help and kindness. I had seen other chiropractors and even tried going to my favorite chiropractor in Indiana when i went home for a visit, but regular adjustments only caused more pain.
I can say with certainty that Dr Loos has given me my life back. I am a Yogi. Due to the intense pain i have not been able to sit to meditate or do much stretching or yoga for years, even physical therapy made things worse. I can now sit for over an hour at a time for meditation, i can walk miles, i can hike, play, and even dance in moderation. I am still rebuilding strength but am so happy with my progress.
When i began treatment i had not been able to sleep on my right side for almost two years due to hip pain. If I fell asleep on my right side i would wake in so much pain that it would take me up to an hour get the pain to subside and fall back asleep. I can now sleep on my right side. I am off narcotics and i will always be grateful for his help.

Dr. Martin Choi is the best chiropractor!!! I get adjusted regularly and he makes me feel better every time I see him. I highly recommend him.

I have to admit I have never seen much use for a chiropractor, but Dr. Choi completely proved me wrong. I pulled my neck muscle working out (ughhhh the perils of being 30!) and was super scared at the time since I have never really had any serious injuries in my life. I don’t know if pulling a neck muscle counts as a serious injury, but it sure felt life threatening at the time when I couldn’t move my head in any direction at all! After 3 days of some serious pain I had to do something… anything! I went to see Dr. Choi and he cracked my neck twice (scary!), then my back (that part felt great!) and that was it… with 3 cracks I felt soooooo much better! I wasn’t miraculously cured by any means, but I definitely gained some range of motion and am now definitely a chiropractic fan.
