Dr. Steven Martinez, D.C.

Doctor of Chiropractic | Certified Sports Physician | Active Release Technique Certified

Dr. Martinez founded Align Wellness Chiropractic in 2009 with a simple mission: help people heal naturally and return to the active lifestyles they love. With over 15 years of experience treating everyone from weekend warriors to professional athletes, he brings both expertise and genuine compassion to every patient interaction.

After experiencing his own sports injury in college that traditional medicine couldn't resolve, Dr. Martinez discovered chiropractic care. The transformation was so profound that he changed his pre-med major and pursued a Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Palmer College of Chiropractic, graduating summa cum laude in 2008.

"I don't just treat symptoms. I work to understand the root cause of your pain and create a comprehensive plan to not only relieve it but prevent it from returning. Every patient deserves to live without pain limiting what they can do."

Our Approach

Evidence-Based, Patient-Centered Care

Science-Backed Methods

We use proven techniques supported by current research. Every treatment decision is based on clinical evidence and best practices in chiropractic care.

Individualized Treatment

No cookie-cutter protocols here. We develop customized care plans based on your specific condition, goals, lifestyle, and response to treatment.

Patient Education

Understanding your condition empowers you. We explain what's happening in your body and teach you how to maintain results long-term.

Whole-Person Wellness

True health extends beyond pain relief. We address nutrition, exercise, stress management, and lifestyle factors that impact your wellbeing.

Efficient, Effective Care

We respect your time and budget. Our goal is to get you better as quickly as possible with the minimum number of visits necessary.

Collaborative Approach

We work alongside your other healthcare providers when appropriate. Your health is a team effort, and communication is key.

Treatment Methods

Techniques We Use

We're trained in multiple chiropractic techniques and select the best approach for each patient's needs and comfort level.

Diversified Technique

The most commonly used chiropractic technique. Precise manual adjustments using quick, controlled thrusts to restore proper movement and alignment to the spine and joints. Effective for most conditions and suitable for patients of all ages.

Activator Method

A gentle, low-force technique using a specialized instrument to deliver precise adjustments. Ideal for patients who prefer a softer approach, including seniors, children, and those with acute pain or osteoporosis.

Thompson Drop Table

Uses a specialized table with sections that drop slightly during adjustment. This adds momentum to the adjustment while minimizing the force required. Comfortable and effective for a wide range of conditions.

Active Release Technique (ART)

Advanced soft tissue treatment that addresses muscle adhesions, scar tissue, and fascial restrictions. Particularly effective for sports injuries, repetitive strain, and chronic muscle tension.

Graston Technique

Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that breaks down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. Accelerates healing and improves range of motion for chronic soft tissue conditions.

Webster Technique

Specialized prenatal chiropractic care focused on pelvic alignment. Helps reduce discomfort during pregnancy and may contribute to optimal fetal positioning for birth.
