How we approach Spinal Stenosis for San Clemente patients

Spinal Stenosis sits within our Chiropractic Sports Medicine pillar at FRI. Rather than chasing symptoms, our team works to identify the underlying drivers — biomechanical, neuromuscular, metabolic, or systemic — and build a plan that resolves them. Patients from San Clemente get the same one-on-one care as Mission Viejo patients. The drive is usually 25–40 minutes.

ZIP 92672 is about 17 miles from the clinic at 26400 La Alameda, Suite 100, Mission Viejo 92691. The closest other cities in this service area are Dana Point (92629), Laguna Niguel (92677), Mission Viejo (92691).

What Spinal Stenosis usually looks like

Stenosis symptoms often ease when you sit or lean on a cart and worsen with upright walking. That pattern is more useful than the word “stenosis” on an MRI, which is common in people with no pain.

How a visit for Spinal Stenosis is different

Care favors positions and exercises that open space for the nerves, plus hip and thoracic motion so the lumbar spine is not stuck in extension all day. Surgery is a separate decision we do not rush.
