A Passion for Family & Wellness Chiropractic Care
As a San Diego chiropractor, Dr. Sera Tekin loves caring for families and individuals at every stage of life. From children and athletes to pregnant mothers and older adults, she believes chiropractic care should be accessible, gentle, and tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
Her philosophy centers on overall wellness, not just symptom relief. By improving spinal alignment and reducing nervous system interference, chiropractic care helps the body function at its highest level. Dr. Tekin takes the time to listen, educate, and create individualized care plans that support long-term health—not just short-term relief.
Advanced Chiropractic Techniques & Training
Dr. Tekin utilizes a variety of highly effective chiropractic techniques to improve spinal biomechanics and restore proper joint motion. Her approach allows her to customize care for each patient’s comfort level, condition, and goals.
Her chiropractic techniques include:
-
Diversified Technique – A hands-on approach to restore joint movement and alignment
-
Thompson Technique – A gentle, low-force method using a specialized table
-
Activator Method – A precise, instrument-assisted adjustment
-
Cox Flexion Distraction – Ideal for disc-related conditions and lower back pain
In addition, Dr. Tekin incorporates the ArthroStim instrument into her treatment approach. This gentle instrument-assisted therapy helps ease joints back into alignment while releasing muscle tension and trigger points, making it especially beneficial for patients who prefer a lighter touch.
