Conditions We Treat
From everyday pain to complex dysfunction.
01
Your joints start moving correctly
Restricted joints create stress on surrounding muscles and nerves. Restore motion, release the tension.
02
Your body stops compensating
When one area works better, the rest no longer has to pick up the slack — where chronic pain actually lives.
03
Your function improves system-wide
Better mechanics influence posture, recovery, sleep, and performance — not just the original complaint.

Meet the Family
Not a franchise. A family practice.
Since 1996, Salt Family Chiropractic has been led by three doctors from the same family — working side-by-side, collaborating on complex cases, and raising the standard of care they would want for their own patients.
Three generations of Chula Vista families have come through our doors. Here are the people behind the practice.
Dr. Mark Salt, DC
Founder · Clinical Director
Past president, California Chiropractic Association (San Diego District). Practicing in Chula Vista since 1996.
Dr. Christian Salt, DC
Associate Doctor
Focused on sports rehabilitation, soft tissue work, and corrective exercise programming for athletes and active patients.
Dr. Celeste Salt, DC
Associate Doctor
Specializes in family and pediatric care with 30 years of clinical experience. Certified in Class IV Laser Therapy since 2010.
Inside the Clinic
Class IV K-Laser. Shockwave. Myofascial Therapy.
We’ve continued to invest in technology that actually changes outcomes — not because it’s trendy, but because it lets us help patients who weren’t getting results from adjustments alone.
Trusted by families across the South Bay.
We are grateful to serve a community that continues to trust us with their health. Here is what patients have shared about their experience at Salt.
I have received amazing care at Salt Family Chiropractic. The adjustments have given me relief of chronic neck and shoulder pain.
