Dr. Jimmy Lopez, D.C

Meet Dr. Jimmy Lopez, D.C

In his practice, Dr. Lopez provides a loving, compassionate, supportive environment to help his patients not only regain their health, vitality and youth but also to maintain their health once regained. He provides care for children, seniors and persons of all ages. Some of his patients come from long distances due to the unique approach he has to help restore health.

His patients often tell him that he is the best doctor they have seen because of the caring approach and the results he gets. This is perhaps due to the fact that he is constantly attending advanced programs of study on the latest and most innovative methods to help his patients. He is passionate about his work. He volunteers his time as a member of the distinguished non-profit Doctors Speakers Bureau, which is a national organization of health care experts who lecture free-of-charge in their communities.

Dr. Lopez wakes up with love and appreciation for being able to serve people through Chiropractic every day. Love, service and gratitude are the foundational principles that he builds into a daily activity at Element Wellness Center. He is thankful for a loving family, extraordinary friends, and a blessed life.

The Softwave Machine powered by TRT OrthoGold 100 is an exciting, breakthrough treatment option in the field of regenerative medicine. It is an advanced, effective, non-invasive and safe way to treat painful musculoskeletal conditions, degenerative conditions and chronic pain. All without needles, anesthesia, medicine or expensive hospitalization. Rigorously tested in Europe (labeled MTS Sparkwave in Europe) over the past decade, The Softwave Machine powered by TRT has made its way to the United States and is changing lives for the better. Previously this machine was only available to San Diego’s top athletes, Element wellness Center is proud to be the first and only location in Point Loma area available for everyone. Softwave Treatment is the most advanced, highly effective, non-invasive treatment cleared by the FDA to treat degenerative conditions and chronic pain. Softwave can be explained as a min lithotripsy device that delivers the most effective Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) available. During treatment, the ESWT, produces high-energy sound waves that are applied to painful and injured areas of the body to dramatically stimulate healing and regeneration. It works by helping to stimulate and improve your body’s own healing capability by enhancing blood circulation and has been shown to stimulate increased stem production (see link below) to regenerate damaged tissue. Beneficial effects are often experienced in only one or two treatments and there is no downtime! This non-surgical treatment can eliminate pain, restore mobility and significantly improve a person’s quality of life. It is a vitally important stand-alone or addition to our regenerative medicine program, which includes exosomes and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments. When paired with other regenerative treatments, ESWT maximizes regenerative healing.

Dr. Gestring and his staff are great at what he does.

I had been searching for a chiropractor who would be thorough with the initial exam and would have a treatment plan for me. I found this with Dr Jason the very first day I had an appointment with him.

Everyone there is amazing. I went in having some mild issues, and even in the first visit, I already feel relief from the pain I was having. Can’t wait to go back!

Dr Benningfield is a rock star among Chiropractic"s!

Only here to rave about the best chiropractor! Every visit with Dr. Vuagniaux leaves me relaxed and feeling new again.

As someone who struggles with dizziness, neck tension, and headaches, I had no idea that a head and neck misalignment could affect different aspects of your health.

LaTess is a wonderful practitioner with a beautiful spirit.

LaTess is so warm and welcoming! She is gentle

SoftWave FAQs

  • What results should I expect from SoftWave Therapy?

    If you are a candidate for treatment, SoftWave therapy can provide both immediate and long-lasting results. After one SoftWave session, patients typically experience a 20-50% reduction in pain and improvement in mobility, lasting from a few hours to several days. Some patients require multiple sessions before experiencing improvement.

    To determine if SoftWave is a suitable treatment for you, schedule a $69 New Patient Appointment, where you will receive one SoftWave treatment session, and the provider will assess whether further treatment is appropriate.

    Unlike pain medications and injections, SoftWave treatment seeks to activate the body’s natural healing process at the cellular level to deliver genuine and long-lasting results.

  • What is the SoftWave treatment process like?

    SoftWave is a fast and convenient non-invasive procedure that usually lasts 10-15 minutes, with no downtime required for recovery. First, ultrasound gel is applied, then the SoftWave device is gently placed to deliver shock waves to the injured area. Most patients feel a gentle tapping or pulsing sensation, while some patients may experience mild pain or discomfort. The use of anesthesia or numbing agents is not necessary. Effective communication with the provider during treatment can help identify treatment hotspots and track progress.
