I thought I'd give an update since it has been a few months. I'm more convinced then ever that this treatment is essential in getting my health back. Some of the changes that I have seen are these: I had a nasty car accident that left me in a lot of pain, but my body had kinda reformed itself to being off in ways like having one shoulder stick out and nothing I did could correct it. I have no shoulder difference now, I could not get my posture straight at all, and now I have my posture back. My hips, are aligning and I no longer have my collarbone sticking out! It used to feel like my neck had hard cables in the back, nothing helped, I went to a Drs, PT, Chiropractors, you name it, nothing changed. My neck is normal!!!! For me, it's softer, and I can turn my head, look up and around, most the time. I'm not done yet, but once I made a commitment to going every week I saw a difference. I had to have major dental work, so my time is different than others, I'm sure. I am convinced this is a key to getting my health back on track. I also like Dr K and that makes it easier as well. I would highly recommend his practice. If you are not getting anywhere with your traditional Chiropractic care or Dr. I believe you could be helped here. This was my last chance kinda thing, my ... I've got nothing to lose appointment as I had tried everything, I have tried everything to help. I live in an over 55 community and I've asked Dr K to come and speak, that's how much I believe this can help! Hope this helps! PS I just went to my primary care Dr and I have officially gotten 1/2 inch taller!! I jokingly said that since I would have my posture back I should be taller! And I am! thanks again Dr K! YoU rock! read more

I cannot even begin to express my fullest gratitude to Dr Kaizer!! I had always had TERRIBLE issues with my neck - not being able to turn it for days at a time and being in so much pain! I would go to the "regular" chiropractor without much long-term success. I started seeing Dr K and everything changed! The upper cervical adjustments were gentle and long lasting. They corrected years of misaligned spine and head and neck issues! I now only go to see him every 6 months when I start to feel the slightest bit off. I NEVER experience the neck issues that I once did prior to seeing him. He does not pressure you into coming to see him like others do and genuinely cares for his patients. He is one of a kind in this area and I don't know what I would do without him! I couldn't be more thankful to him! read more

Dr. Kaszer and his staff our very professional and extremely helpful. I have had neck issues all my adult life from horseback riding and car accidents. The chronic pain pushed me to try NUCCA. I have to say that it has certainly helped me. I can go on and on about how Dr. Kaszer explains the process so well, he is thorough with his xrays and analysis on a regular basis to help me to understand and work through the progress. I do recommend this for anyone seeking pain relief and wellness. read more

My experience with Dr Jamie and his staff has been nothing short of stellar. I am a chiropractic patient for over 30 years and was skeptical of NUCCA. However.m, after my best friend recovered from a very bad injury with Dr Jamie and this method, I decided to give it a try. I used to get migraines at least 2x a week. Since starting this treatment 4 weeks ago, I have o my had 1 migraine and stopped taking my anxiety medicine! If you are having any neck, back or spine issues... you need to go see him! read more

Dr. Jamie is amazing. I have been seeing him for over 9 years and when I first started seeing him I was in constant neck pain. The curvature of my neck was going the wrong way. Over the years he got the curvature going back the right direction and I see him monthly for just maintenance. He is my life saver read more

Prior to working with Dr Kaszer I struggled with a lifetime of chronic neck and shoulder pain. I've tried many modalities to reduce and remove the pain from alternative healing therapies to traditional chiropractic work, regular massage and acupuncture. Nothing worked long-term or even short-term for me. I began to think that this was something that I had to live with for the rest of my life. On top of the chronic neck and shoulder pain I started developing frequent headaches that would sometimes turn into migraines several times a month. They would be so debilitating that I wouldn't even have the ability to function normally. Luckily I met Dr. K and started my treatment with him several months ago. I am ecstatic to declare that I now have a significant improvement in my neck and shoulder pain. I will go weeks without any pain in those areas and I rarely experience any headaches. It's a miracle! I know that it's going to continue to get better and better as well as I complete my treatment protocol. I cannot tell you just how grateful and deeply appreciative I am for NUCCA with Dr Kaszer. He's helped me in ways I never imagined would be possible. I highly recommend his services. Go see him. Invest in yourself and your health with Dr K. Trust the process and follow his protocol. It works! read more

Dr. K is the best! He truly cares about his patients. When he reviewed my X-rays with me he encouraged my husband to sit in to listen too. This was very important because on the outside, I suppose I looked "ok." But after seeing the X-rays, I was a mess in the inside! The X-rays do not lie and I was glad my husband got to see just bad how bad my neck was. Since treating with Dr. K, I no longer suffer from vertigo and frequent migraines. I highly recommend Dr. K to anyone who needs chiropractic care. NUCCA is where it's at! A typical chiropractor who cracks your neck and back is useless. I had been to those chiropractors for years and years and yet I still suffered from migraines and hip and neck pain so I am speaking from experience. Call Dr. K TODAY! read more

I've been going to Dr. Kaszer for the last 6 years and it has changed my life. I'm able to be active and able to sleep throughout the night. At first I didn't believe in NUCCA, but now I'm a believer! Best decision I've ever made! Plus Dr. Kaszer is a super nice guy and is very passionate about his work. read more

Dr. Kaszer was wonderful. He explained everything in great detail. His adjustments are very gentle and I saw an improvement in my situation after only a few visits. I also appreciated his affordable prices. Clearly he is someone who is really trying to help his patients. read more

I have had two spinal surgeries, numerous steroid injections, even a pulsed radio frequency nerve ablation. When my pain doc said it was time to repeat the neck ablation I decided to try Dr. Kaszer as recommended by a friend. I'm very glad that I did. After a set of X-rays, Dr. Kaszer was able to calculate my spinal imbalance, then use gentle massage like manipulation to put my spine back into balance. My pain resolved within the first 4-5 visits. I now go in twice a month to maintain the alignment and will soon be placed on "as needed" visits. Dr. Kaszer has changed the way I have typically dealt with my neck pain, highly recommend. read more

Dr kaszer is the best at what he does! I got recommended to him by a friend!! I have misaligned back and my posture and whole back is pretty messed up and dr kaszer provided pain free treatment! When he first did It I was like nothing is happening but quite soon after the pain in my back was decreased significantly! He and his staff are very good, helpful, respectful, and courteous people and they make you feel like part of their family! Another thing I like is that he tailors the prices based on affordability for you and the prices are VERY reasonable! I totally recommend dr kaszer to you because he is awesome at what he does, has great sincere care for all patients no matter what they come to him for, and truly has the patients best interest in mind! He is very cute, and the one downside of him is that he is married! :) read more

Dr. Kaszer saved me! When I scheduled my first appointment I was really desperate. I had been in pain for many years and thought I had tried everything. Nucca was new to me. I was doubtful, but changed my mind very quickly as I began to feel better after only a few adjustments. The adjustments were not what I was used to. Nucca is very subtle but very effective! The ELODA stretches he recommends have also been very helpful. I came to the practice about ten years ago. I moved away for a while and fell apart without Dr. Kaszer. So happy to be back in his care. Do yourself a favor and go get Back Into Balance! read more

I am new to the area so I just searched for a local Nucca practitioner and luckily I found Dr Jamie. He has changed my life! I have lost all the upper body stiffness I used to carry around all the time impeding me from being able to enjoy being active and exercising enough. Now I am much more limber, have a faster recovery time and am expanding all the different ways I enjoy exercising including yoga, dance, running and more. It's a real life change for me! I highly recommend Dr Jamie and his super friendly office staff. You will feel better!! read more

After dealing with lower back issues for years, I finally found a long term solution that works! Dr. Kaszer is very knowledgeable, honest and compassionate. I highly recommend him to anyone experiencing neck or back pain. read more

Dr. Kaszer is amazing. After many years of trying other chiropractors (with no success), Back Into Balance has fixed my neck and put me on the road to normalcy. Thanks Dr. Kaszer! read more

Update to my review from March of this year. I came to Back Into Balance desperate for some kind of relief from severe neck pain...I could hardly turn my neck without pains shooting in every direction. Along with my not so great posture and work that exacerbated my neck issue, I felt there was no way out of the pain without living on Aleve or some other over the counter pain reliever...all not so good for the liver. Dr. Kaszar has been very precise and consistant in his treatment over these last months with this problem that's plagued me for years. I'm so happy to report that I'm Aleve free and most every day pain free! It is a world of difference and I owe it to Dr. Kaszar's dedication, attention to my many questions and issues, and his very fair and friendly business practice. I cannot recommend and thank Back Into Balance enough for my pain free days. read more

Still playing competitive racquetball at age 67, including a 3rd place finish at the US Open this past year. I have to thank Dr Jamie and his treatments for keeping me up and running. There's nothing like having a strong and healthy back and now I've got one. Almost no down time any more. I'm a living example of how such simple treatments on your upper neck can help your whole body feel younger and stronger. Honestly, there are so many benefits to getting your head and neck centered, I'm amazed more people haven't discovered it. In time, they will. read more

My wife and I recently moved to San Diego from Colorado, where we were receiving NUCCA care as well. We really appreciated Dr Kaszer's no pressure, friendly approach. We have felt comfortable since our first visit and Dr Kaszer's care has had a huge positive impact on our health. read more

I have dealt with back and neck pain ailments most of my adult life. I found Jaime's work to be profound and accurate. I stopped several years ago getting the traditional chiropractic adjustments because I tend to be hypermobile and have too much laxity in my joints and cracky-chiropractic-techniques left me good for a few hours, then worse a day or so later. I gave up on adjusting all together. While researching the brain for my masters thesis, I came across this NUCCA technique and something told me, "DO IT". Not really having the time or the money to engage in a whole new healing modality, I did it anyway. This was a really good gut instinct I followed. I am VERY happy that I have found a method and a patient person to help me! Jaime and his staff are beautiful people with attention to detail. Thank you! read more

Chronic low back pain, intense pain radiating down one leg, and poor posture related to years of athletic activity lead me to the doorstep of Back Into Balance, NUCCA treatment. After 2+ years of treatment, my pain is relieved, if not removed from most of my body. Though treatment is light and virtually noninvasive, it works. Beginning with regular, weekly then monthly treatments, my appointments are nearly 2 months apart currently. Regular maintenance is keeping me pain-free and very very active. I trust the Back into Balance office/team with my scheduling, education, maintenance, and reliability. I have spoken about my process, with NUCCA, on local television interview, and highly recommend a visit for good health and wellness to anyone feeling less than 100%. This is not your old school crack, pop, and adjust type of treatment, it's better! It has worked for me, and lasts longer than any other treatment I've received. Keep up the excellent work Dr. Jaime, see you in November!! read more

I first went to Dr. Kaszer 10 mo. ago for a knee that went out. He started the NUCCA process on me which I never heard of. He showed me also how I stood crooked, and never knew it. Not only is my knee back to normal, my migrains are not as often, my back feels better, and I'm sleeping better. He is such a kind and intelligent person I get to see and can't recommend him enough. I also have extreme scoliosis and I never feel any pain anymore. Dr. Kaszer is so far beyond regular chiropractors it's unreal. I went to several of them in my lifetime and all they do is crack you and it doesn't last. Don't miss out on going to this wonderful man. read more

I initially sought help from Jamie at Back Into Balance for a sort of preventative maintenance. Competing as a triathlete, my goal is always to make certain I am in the best physical shape I can be in before getting into the thick of the season. What I got out of my experience however, was much more than I bargained for. During one of my visits I was deeply troubled by a recurring chest pain that felt like a freakin' heart attack. It would come in waves and was near debilitating. I had sought the advice of my friendly doc only to be prescribed antacids and sent home still writhing. As it turns out, there is a pathway of nerves that if stimulating incorrectly can bring about this type of pain. One adjustment and I had immediate relief. Granted, the pain didn't completely disappear, but it was down 50% at least!! In about a week's time, the pain had completely lifted. Not to say too much, but in retelling this story to a friend of mine he remarked a similar story. He had suffered from chronically high blood pressure his entire life. Medications galore seemed to do nothing for him. Yet, an atlas adjustment of the type performed by Jamie helped lower his blood pressure. I don't pretend to understand the mechanisms behind all of what Jamie and others like him do, but around every corner new medical discoveries are being made and to discredit any of them without doing our own personal investigation could have an enormous opportunity cost. I recommend you find out for yourself. read more

10+ years of seeing traditional chiropractors and getting my back cracked, doing accupunture, and massage therapy did nothing to aleviate or fix the pain in my neck and shoulder areas. I was in so much pain i couldnt pick up my 3yr old or push her on swings. I could barely work. I have been seeing Dr. K for 7 months now. Within the first 3 months i saw the biggest change in me. The pain started to go away, I could play with my daughter, I would come home from work n not feel like i was about to die. I noticed a big change in things like i now sleep thru the night, less headaches, more energy, and i can now stand up straight. Best part is Dr. K and Denise make you feel like family. They are so welcoming and caring. And they've got a kiddie corner set up in the office which is great! Reasonable pricing and tailored payment plans are great as well. Thanks Dr. K! You rock! read more

Back in March of 2010, I had a pretty bad spill on my road bike going down a very steep mountain in Santa Barbara. My helmet cracked, my left side was bruised and scratched up, and for the first time in my life I had neck and upper back pain. I had been seeing a traditional chiropractor for about 6 months prior to my accident for some lower back pain, and even though I never liked getting "cracked" (especially my neck), I decided to go back for an emergency adjustment. The pain was so bad that I couldn't move my head side-to-side, and it was so sharp and excruciating that I had to lift my head by hand in order to get out of bed. My traditional chiro only made things MUCH worse, so I decided to try something new. After hearing about NUCCA on a podcast, I found Dr. Jamie Kaszer through a Google search, made the appointment and got in immediately. I was pleasantly surprised that all I needed to pay was $49 for a full set of X-rays! Jamie evaluated my x-rays, clearly explained the results to me as well as the payment options, and I came back 2 days later for my first adjustment. When he started adjusting me, I was thinking, "This is dumb, he's not doing anything!". But about 10 minutes after I left, I had absolutely NO pain and full range of motion in my neck. To think that the "dumb" adjustment I had was so incredibly helpful blew my mind. I've been seeing him ever since, and I'm always pleased by the friendliness of his staff, Jamie's kindness and humor, and the constant care I continue to receive. I'm now going 4 months or longer without having to be adjusted and my pain is gone. The best part was that I spent less on Nucca than I ever had on useless traditional chiropractic care. I was able to make payments depending on my comfort level, and they even worked with me if I was going through tough times financially. You really can't go wrong! read more

Shortly after my wife sustained a concussion in January, she began to experience persistent and debilitating migraine-like symptoms. We spent a week living in the hospital, where she was administered copious amounts of intravenous narcotics, ultimately exacerbating her condition. After countless hours spent researching her condition, we came to the conclusion that she was suffering from Post Concussive Syndrome. We went to a "traditional" chiropractor, an acupuncturist, and a neurologist. Still, she experienced no relief. The neurologist refused to believe that her condition was trauma-induced. As such, he proceeded to prescribe her a multitude of drugs used to treat standard migraines. Even trigger point injections did nothing to alleviate her pain. At this point, my wife had been bedridden for three months, unable to work, drive, or even go outside. Both of our lives were suffering. We were exhausted, hopeless and desperate. While I was researching her condition further, I came across an article that mentioned NUCCA as a viable treatment for Post Concussive Syndrome. I found Dr. Kaszer online and decided to call his office to see if he thought he would be able to help my wife. On the phone, Dr. Kaszer was very patient and took the time to listen attentively as I explained my wife's situation. He said he thought NUCCA could help, so we went ahead and scheduled an orientation appointment. She went in for her orientation and x-rays on a Friday and Dr. Kaszer scheduled her first adjustment for the following day, even though it was his day off. At her first adjustment, it was difficult for my wife to even walk from the car to the office. Two weeks later, after only four adjustments, I was in the front yard when my wife walked out of the front door with a dress on and a smile on her face. It was almost like the past three months had never happened. Dr. Kaszer immediately recognized how much happier she was at our next visit. Since then, we have continued with her adjustments. The nightmare that consumed almost six months of our lives is now just a distant memory. Our lives are back to normal, and there's no way I could ever thank Dr. Kaszer enough. The Solana Beach location is beautiful and Dr. Kaszer and his staff are always very friendly and professional. Back Into Balance is highly recommended! read more

What Nucca has been able to do for our families health is extraordinary. We all have different issues and we all benefit from Nucca. The doctor is truly concerned with helping people, if you've tried other things for back or neck issues and are still suffering, a visit to Back Into Balance will be well worth your time. read more

He is a wonderful doctor who cares very much about his patient's wellbeing. He practices NUCCA chiropractic adjustments. Which as you may know is a very gentle massaging adjustment of only the C1 atlas bone. No craking or popping ever. He keeps his prices low for the benefit of his patients. He has helped me so much. I have severe Neurological Dystonic Movements and back and neck pain that within 10 mins of my appointment improve dramatically. My TMJ and clenching and grinding of my jaw in my sleep also go away. During the Covid Lockdown, he shut down for a time out of safety for his patients and when he reopened, he did so in a tent outside, wearing an N95 mask and having staggering his appointment times, dissinfecting everything after every patient. This often caused him to work long hours or come in special for a single patient. I will, as my neck improves its stability, continue to extend the time between adjustments. I am currently doing well at once every 3 weeks, having started at 2x a week, due to the severity of my symptoms. He works hard to get patients to a stable and pain free place, so they can get back to their lives. read more

Dr. Kaszer is amazing. In May of this year I started to have pain that started in my neck, went down into my shoulder and also caused a numbness in my fingers. I did a ton of research and determined it was probably a pinched nerve. The first thing I did was go to a typical chiropractor. I went a few times but the adjustments made the problem worse. I then started message and physical therapy but nothing helped. At this point I was in a tremendous amount of "pain" which tended to get worse when I laid down so sleep was almost impossible. On top of that I wasn't able to lead anything close to a normal life. I wasn't able to throw the ball around with my son or do the things that I like to do on a day to day basis. I was at my wits end and didn't know what else to try until one of my friends suggested I reach out to Dr. K. I saw him at the beginning of July and loved what he had to say right from the beginning. I started seeing him twice a week and noticed a quick improvement. After a short period of time I was only seeing him once a week. At this point I go once every other week and I'm happy to say that I'm pain free and able to enjoy life again. On top of helping with whatever issues you have Dr. K is a great guy and always fun to visit with. Life is too short to be in pain. If you are having an issue do yourself a favor and schedule an appointment. I'm happy I did. read more

The version of Chiropractic that works. Staff is great and Dr. Kazer is precise and cares about the results and transformations that your body is capable of. Highly recommend. This is a life changer. read more

Dr. Kaszer supposedly examined my situation and then explained how he could help me if I handed over $2000 up front. When I didn't have that kind of money and I wasn't convinced that he knew how to treat me correctly, he was rude to me and coudn't get me out of his office quick enough. (no one was there to witness his rudeness.) I ended up with another doctor who was able to see that my neck issues and periodic seizure-like symptoms were due to an infected root canal that would send infection up my neck and through to my brain, like an over the top, extreme, headache. I have no respect for Dr. Kaszar and I believe the payment was due on all of his equipment which does the work for him. I think he lacks real knowledge and the skills to treat. read more

Dr Kaszer is fantastic! Not only is is great at what he does, but his demeanor is very contagious, and I have certainly noticed a big difference in my neck issues since I started going to him. If I am really pushing myself physically or at work, after a few weeks I can feel pain start to creep back in, (due to my own negligence of course) I go to him and in just a session or two my neck is back in good shape. I cannot recommend him enough! Give him a try, I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

love dr. kaszer

Just had my second adjustment with Dr. Jaime here in Encinitas and have to say that after 15 years of chiropractic wellness care he's one of the best I've ever encountered and highly highly recommend him to anyone looking for a world-class chiropractor who is both gentle and effective. I'll be checking with him and under his care for a long time to come I'm sure! Thank you sir! read more

Nucca is definitely worth trying out. You'll be amazed. Not your typical chiropractic procedure. Excellent results. Awesome staff and convenient business hours. read more

Love Dr. K, love Denise. I have a crazy schedule and they are super easy to work with. I also love that the experience is relaxing and my headaches are gone- the NUCCA technique is great for anyone who's ever been apprehensive about chiropractic since it isn't the traditional "cracking." They also don't pressure me like most chiros do (Dr K is my fourth). Highly recommend. read more

Back into Balance is a true relaxed beach doctors office. Dr. Kaszer offers NUCCA adjustments and has helped thousands of people feel better, which has changed their daily lives. Dr. K is the best at what he does. I love that he offers care for patients no matter what their financial means are. Everyone can benefit from NUCCA Chiropractic with Dr. kaszer. My daughter has tried regular chiropractic with no results. She has been going to Dr. K for a few weeks now and already sleeps better, has less neck and back pain and said her lower back pain is GONE. Thanks! read more

I saw dr Kaszer for a bad head injury many times and it was helpful. While in MT I saw another NUCCA. guy and was feeling really sick. He wanted to consult with Dr Kaszer and called his office keep in mind that I had one leg an inch and a half longer than the other and Dr Kaszer knew I was really hurt, yet he blew off the other Dr and did not take his call. As they said that doctors always take other doctors phone calls. The dr than came back into the room and blindsided me with two hits from a spring loaded device to my left jaw. Never had done this and my life since then has been very difficult. Three nerve blocks, pain specialist, neurologist and physical therapists later back here In CA I know now what the chiropractic care did. The original hit on my jaw moved over the entire cranium trapping and hurting nerves. Dr Kaszer worked on me one time after the blow to my jaw using logistics from before I was hit. This really shut things down and afterwards I could not walk for months. His logistics did not fit the new position of my cranium. My experience is he is not there when problems occur and not willing to even talk with myself and other professional that I have been seeing five times a week regarding my case. I have never written a review before, but life changing procedures that were done with little thought and lack of follow through are something I would not want someone else to experience read more

Dr. Jamie Kaszer and NUCCA has changed my body and helped to get rid of so many different aches and pains. My neck pain, lower back pain, knee pain have all but gone away. My posture has improved, my shoulders are level, spine straight. Dr. Jamie Kaszer is a magician! read more

Our family goes to Dr. K. My husband for construction related problems. Our daughter for help with scoliosis and my left leg was shorter than my right. The corrections made with traditional chiropractors didn't last for me. Now we all feel much more in balance and my legs are keeping their correction which really does make me feel like I'm back into balance. Thanks Dr. Kaszer! read more
