Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How is Structure different than any other Chiropractor?

We offer our patients far more than just your standard, in-and-out-in-three-minutes chiropractic adjustment. We are committed to partnering with you to get you on the road to living a healthy and pain free life. You will notice that we do not double-stack or double book.  We also don’t use high pressure tactics, ask you to sign contracts, or push you into the “three appointments per week” scheme. During your appointment, we focus on you, and you only.  This one-on-one approach, incorporating a variety of techniques including soft tissue work, physiotherapy, stretching and alignment, yields results.   

Do you accept insurance?

We do not contract with any private or public insurance plans. Chiropractors who accept insurance have a large amount of overhead, because the insurance claims process is so complicated. As a result, they need to see a large number of patients per day, and the time allotted to each patient is typically 5 minutes or less. As a result of this increased patient load, appointments are rushed. Concerns are brushed aside because the chiropractor doesn’t have time to research and think through something that doesn’t have an easy answer. In contrast, our shortest appointment is 30 minutes, and we only see five patients per day.

The average insurance co-pay for chiropractic is $40 per visit. Our maintenance visits are $100, and are a minimum of 60 minutes in length. Consider the fact that you’re only paying $60 more with us per visit than you would with another provider who accepts your insurance. And the value we provide far exceeds that.

Where are you located?  Where should I park?

We are located in the Bluwater Crossing lofts, adjacent to the Poinsettia Rail Station.  There is plentiful parking available.  Note:  Your GPS may take you to the east side of our building.  If that happens, just exit back onto Avenida Encinas and make a left.  Proceed until you see the large “Poinsettia Station” sign, then enter the large parking lot there.  Our office is about 3/4 of the way down the building (6860).

Call or text us at 832.689.5022.  If we’re here, we will help however we can.  

What should I wear to my appointment?

Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing.

Can I work out during my visit in addition to physiotherapy?

Yes! If you’d like to work out with Dr. Valdez supervising, we offer that option. This option also includes stretching and adjusting.

What should I expect after my appointment?

 1. Drink a lot of water.  During your visit, Dr. Jason manipulated joints, muscles, and bones to provide pain relief and other health benefits. When these parts are moved, there is often a release of toxins by the body.  Drinking plenty of water helps flush out these toxins, allowing your body to heal. 

2. Movement is good, but refrain from vigorous exercise immediately after your appointment.  Light movement can help stimulate blood flow, increasing the amount of oxygenated blood that flows through your body. This can help assist or expedite the healing process that starts when you get an adjustment.  Speak to Dr. Jason for guidelines on this. He may ask you to take a couple of hours off before exercising or may suggest you wait a day or two. It really depends on your background, level of fitness, and the type of treatment you’re receiving.

3. If Dr. Jason prescribed rehabilitation exercises, then do your best to perform those exercises to expedite the healing process.  

4. Pay attention to your body.  It’s not uncommon to feel some strange sensations after treatment, because your body is adjusting to new stimuli. These sensations often have to do with the healing process taking place. In some cases, an adjustment could lead to some tingling or cooling sensations in the muscles or affected area. You may also experience stiffness and soreness.  To alleviate, consider taking a bath with epsom salts or do some light stretching.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions about your treatment or the symptoms you’re experiencing.   You can reach out to us anytime via call or text at 832.689.5022, or email at structurecarlsbad@gmail.com.   If Dr. Jason is in an appointment, he’ll contact you at his earliest opportunity.

  • "Jason knows what’s he’s doing. What I love about his practice is that you can tell he really cares about what he does. I feel like a lot of chiropractors just crank out patients. Jason sits with you and explains what’s going on and also helps you with figuring out what you can do on your own to make your pain better. Would absolutely recommend."

    Mikiah Fender

  • "My experience seeing Dr. Valdez was unlike any chiropractic adjustment I’ve had. He took the time to understand what was going on with me, and he has an uncanny ability to zero right in on areas that are painful. After over a year of plantar fasciitis pain, I left my adjustment with no pain. While most chiropractors seem to do a series of the same adjustments every time, this truly felt like a session that was catered to healing my specific aches and pains. Prices are very reasonable. I will be back!"

    Fabienne O'Neill

  • "Dr Jason is not your typical chiropractor. You won't be in and out of his clinic in 5 minutes. He takes the time to really understand your body and what's going on and communicates well. The adjustments and soft tissue work he's done have made a huge difference. I'm now exercising regularly again without feeling pain. Also he does not double book like many chiropractors do so when you're in the clinic you don't feel rushed at all. His prices are very reasonable also. Highly recommend."

    Jaunuel Arcilla

  • "I was hesitant to try chiropractic as I went to a "rack and crack" place before and it didn't really work for me. As soon as I met Dr. Jason for the first time, he put me at ease. He took his time to listen and understand my concerns and also, my lower back and plantar fasciitis issues. After just a few visits, I'm playing pickleball again. He's also a fellow veteran!"

    Flynn Thomas

  • "I don't normally write reviews- this is the third review I've ever done- but the treatment I received exceeded all expectations (having seen dozens of chiropractors, physical therapists, and massage therapists over the years) and I felt it was worthy of writing a review. Doctor Valdez stands out above the rest, blending chiropractic care with massage therapy and physical therapy, leading to exceptional results. One stop shop! Very satisfied and highly recommend."

    Jon Mott

  • "I had a great experience at Structure. Easy to book appointments, location has a lot of parking, and Dr. Valdez is unlike any other chiro I've been to. My appointment was 15 minutes long, and after that appointment my shoulder felt a lot better. I was able to go surfing the day after with no pain. He is very personable also. Very happy with my experience here."

  • If you want to feel better in your body, go see Jason! He not only listens to you but he understands the body as a whole unit and wants you walking out of his place better than when you came in. It is very clear he loves what he does from the moment you walk in and you feel safe in his presence. Thank you Jason for working with my fractured neck to my digestion and all the way to my feet. You are top notch!! List Item

  • Jason was wonderful! He was very knowledgeable and I felt great after the adjustment. Will definitely come back again since they’re located close to my work!

    Jenevieve

  • I had a walk in unscheduled consultation and body work performed by Dr. Jason today. I feel like my body has been transformed! Never have I felt so free. And I left back pain free. After 15 years in the fire service and being a farmer with now part-time working in an office. My body has taken a beating. Thanks to today’s appointment I feel like a new man. I just booked two appointments for my son’s to help with their surfing back muscles and help keep their body and preventative maintenance for all the action, sports and extreme lifestyle they live. I’m grateful for this new revelation and service in my life.

    Christopher

  • Jason was great at walking me through each step of his adjustment, explaining what was going on, and I feel great afterward!

    Sydney

  • Literally a life changing experience. Just a few minutes after walking in Jason had figured out what was wrong with my whole body. I’ve been too MANY chiropractors and Jason blew me away today. Feeling 100x better after just one visit. Get the treatment you deserve and go see this guy!!
