By Dr. Conn, Biophysics Chiropractic

As your chiropractor in San Diego CA, I want to help you understand why I approach healing the way I do here at Biophysics Chiropractic. So today, I want to share something a little deeper — the difference between Eastern and Western medicine, what they have in common, and how those principles guide the care I provide for you.

For many people, this is the first time they truly see the body as more than symptoms, stress, and reactions. And once you understand these perspectives, you’ll begin to understand why I focus so much on alignment, balance, and inside-out healing.

Let’s break it down in a simple way.

How Western Medicine Approaches Health

Western medicine is where most people begin. It’s the system many of us grew up with — the system of prescriptions, tests, fast solutions, and symptom relief.

Western care is incredibly powerful in emergencies, infections, trauma, or acute pain. It focuses on:

• Medications
• Surgeries
• Imaging
• Injections
• Managing symptoms
• Immediate intervention

There is nothing wrong with Western medicine — it saves lives every day.

But it often treats what’s happening on the surface of the body, not necessarily what started the issue in the first place.

How Eastern Medicine Approaches Health

Eastern medicine takes a different view. It focuses on the body’s natural intelligence — the belief that healing begins inside, long before symptoms ever show up.

Eastern philosophy emphasizes:

• Internal balance
• Energy flow
• Mind-body connection
• Prevention over reaction
• Lifestyle, breath, and stress regulation
• Nutrition and natural restoration

Instead of asking, “What can we take to feel better?”
Eastern medicine asks, “What’s blocking the body from healing itself?”

That’s a question I ask every day in my work.

Where Chiropractic Care in San Diego CA Sits Between the Two

Chiropractic care is one of the few fields that blends both worlds beautifully — and my Biophysics approach emphasizes that blend even more.

The Western/Scientific Side of My Care 

I rely on:

• Anatomy
• Neurophysiology
• Posture scans
• X-ray data
• Physics
• Biomechanics

Everything I do is measurable, structured, and based on how the spinal system actually functions.

The Eastern/Internal Side of My Care

I also deeply believe:

• The body heals from the inside out
• The nervous system governs everything
• Alignment affects energy, clarity, emotion, and function
• Stress and posture shape how the body expresses health
• Small shifts inside the body create big changes outside

When your spine is aligned, the nervous system opens. When the nervous system opens, the body begins to heal. This is the heart of my philosophy.

The Truth: Eastern and Western Medicine Have More in Common Than Most People Realize

Even though they seem opposite, they share several important ideas:

1. The ultimate goal is better health

• The path may differ, but the destination is the same.

2. The body is a connected system

• Western science calls it anatomy.
• Eastern philosophy calls it energy.
• Both recognize that everything affects everything else.

3. Prevention matters

• Supporting the body before something goes wrong is always the best approach.

4. Alignment and balance are essential

• Whether you frame it as structure or flow, both systems agree that misalignment leads to dysfunction.

5. The nervous system is central

• Western research shows the nervous system controls the body.
• Eastern medicine believes energy flows through the spine.
• Different languages — same principle.

My Personal Approach at Biophysics Chiropractic

The care I provide here is not about popping joints or twisting your neck. It’s not about forcing the body into positions. It’s not about chasing symptoms.

My approach is:

• Gentle
• Precise
• Individualized
• Measurable
• Rooted in both science and internal healing 

When I evaluate your spine, I’m not just looking for pain.
I’m looking for what’s interfering with your body’s natural ability to heal, regulate, move, and thrive.

When we restore alignment, amazing things happen:

• Nerve flow improves
• Blood and oxygen flow increase
• Headaches decrease
• Stress levels drop
• Breathing expands
• Organs function better
• Your body finally gets to “reset”

I believe your body is capable of incredible things — if we remove the barriers and give it space to work.

That is why I practice the way I do.
That is why Biophysics Chiropractic exists.
And that is why your care is always tailored to you.

If you’ve been curious about how alignment affects your overall health — physically, mentally, and energetically — I invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation. Let’s explore what your body is telling you and how we can help it heal from the inside out.
