Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How is Structure Different from Other Chiropractors?

No double booking, no rushed appointments, no contracts, no upsells. Every session is one-on-one with Dr. Valdez for at least an hour. Most chiropractors do a quick adjustment and send you on your way. At Structure, each visit combines hands-on soft tissue work, precise adjustments when appropriate, and strength and rehab exercises built around your specific situation. The clinic is equipped with a Leander flexion-distraction table, a full gym, and Hyrox and Deka specific equipment including a ski-erg and sled. You won't find that combination anywhere else in Carlsbad.

Do You Take Insurance?

No. Here's the honest reason: insurance-heavy practices deal with high overhead and heavy claim volume, which usually means five-minute appointments and a revolving door of patients. That's not how this works. At Structure, the shortest appointment is a full hour with Dr. Valdez's undivided attention, limited to five patients per day.

Most chiropractic insurance co-pays (that’s what you pay out of pocket per visit) run around $40. A 60-minute maintenance visit at Structure is $125 — a difference of $85. What you get for that difference is real time, real attention, and results that actually stick. We take cash and all major credit cards.

Where Are You Located?  Where Should I Park?

We are located in the Bluwater Crossing lofts, adjacent to the Poinsettia Rail Station at 6860 Embarcadero Lane, Carlsbad, CA 92011. There is plenty of parking available. Note: your GPS may take you to the east side of the building. If that happens, exit back onto Avenida Encinas, make a left, and proceed until you see the large Poinsettia Station sign. Enter the large parking lot there and our office is about three quarters of the way down the building.

How Do I Book a Visit?

Book online at structure.janeapp.com. First visits are 90 minutes. Follow-up visits are 60 minutes or more. Flexible hours Monday through Friday, with select weekend slots available by appointment. Need an unusual time? Call or text 832.689.5022 and we'll do our best to accommodate you. In pain after hours? Reach out and if Dr. Valdez is available he'll get you in.

What Should I Wear to My Appointment?

Please wear comfortable clothing you can move around in.

Can I Work Out During My Visit in Addition to Physiotherapy?

Absolutely. Select the 90 or 120 minute option at structure.janeapp.com. Dr. Valdez will coach you through a private one-on-one workout in the fully equipped gym, combined with adjustments and soft tissue work. The clinic has Hyrox and Deka specific equipment including a ski-erg and sled — gear you won't find in most gyms.

What Should I Expect After My Visit?

Drink plenty of water. Your joints and muscles were worked and hydration supports recovery.

Keep moving. Gentle walking and easy movement boost blood flow after an adjustment. Hold off on intense training and discuss timing with Dr. Valdez based on what was worked on.

Do your exercises. If you were given rehab exercises, do them. That's where a lot of the real progress happens between visits.

Listen to your body. Mild soreness, stiffness, or tingling can be normal as your body responds to treatment. A warm Epsom salt bath or gentle stretch can help.

  • "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

  • Highly recommend Jason, very professional! i went in for minor pains and he went above and beyond. best chiropractor i’ve ever seen, left the building feeling better than i have in years.

    CJ

  • 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!!
