Elite Performance Institute San Diego provides licensed chiropractic care and sports medicine services in the State of California. Our services are provided under applicable California licensing requirements and are subject to applicable standards of care.

All clinical services are performed by, or under the direct supervision of, duly licensed healthcare professionals. However, healthcare is not an exact science and individual results vary significantly based on many factors outside any clinician's control, including but not limited to patient adherence, underlying health conditions, mechanism of injury, and individual physiology.

No Guarantee of Results: Nothing on this website constitutes a guarantee, warranty, or promise of any specific clinical outcome. Testimonials, case studies, or success stories (if any) reflect individual experiences and are not representative of typical results.

Chiropractic care, physical rehabilitation, therapeutic exercise, and related services involve physical contact and physical exertion. All physical health activities carry inherent risks, including the risk of injury or aggravation of pre-existing conditions.

By engaging in our clinical services or following any recommendations provided by our staff, you acknowledge and accept that:

• You have voluntarily chosen to participate in clinical care and related physical activities
• You have disclosed all relevant medical history, current conditions, and medications to your treating clinician prior to commencing care
• You understand that chiropractic adjustments and manual therapies involve physical forces applied to the body and carry risks including temporary soreness, rare risk of adverse events, and other outcomes
• You will inform your treating clinician immediately of any pain, discomfort, or unusual symptoms during or after treatment
• You assume personal responsibility for any and all risks, known and unknown, arising from participation in clinical services

Medical Clearance: Individuals with pre-existing cardiovascular conditions, bone density disorders, recent surgeries, bleeding disorders, or other significant health concerns should obtain written clearance from their primary care physician prior to initiating care at Elite Performance Institute San Diego.

Clinical documentation prepared in connection with legal proceedings is provided as a professional clinical service and does not constitute legal advice. For legal strategy, case management, and legal representation, you must consult a licensed attorney.

Results in personal injury cases are determined by numerous factors beyond clinical documentation, including liability, insurance policy limits, comparative negligence, and other legal considerations. Elite Performance Institute San Diego makes no representation regarding the outcome of any legal proceeding.
