SCIO Sports Chiropractic + Performance, San Diego CA

Just moved here and started working with Will for rehab and full adjustments. Been a great help so far and is very knowledgeable on how to adapt for individuals. Even met on the weekend outside of weekday business hours which is a huge help. Would highly recommend!

I went to Will after injuring my back while deadlifting. He was very knowledgeable, explained what he thought my issue was and as someone who lifts himself, I felt he thoroughly understood. I had also visited a doctor and while the temporary pain medication was beneficial, I felt Will was far more helpful in my recovery. 2 months later I am back lifting again!

Will is extremely helpful, educational, and professional in what he does. He thinks like no other chiropractor I been to which separates him from the rest. His craft is unique and really shows in the relationships created in his office.
100% recommended for any needs regarding health, pain, fitness, etc. Check him out!

Had originally chosen to visit Dr. Raines to deal with a lingering shoulder issue and after a few sessions my injury had been completely gone. Dr. Raines not only helped heal the injured area but helped me pinpoint certain movements that may have caused the injury as well. Have been working with Dr. Raines for about 6 months now as he has helped me prepare for competition as well as aiding in my recovery when any form of injury occurs.

Dr Raines is awesome! Does a great job at focusing on helping me achieve the most out of my training while helping to address issues before they become problems. Through his help I am able to elevate my training to achieve my fitness goals.

As a local gym owner, I can attest to Dr. Raines high quality tools, resources, and skillset. He is great about listening to his clients / athletes and tailoring their treatment sessions to their specific needs. He is personable, professional, and well-educated. Some chiropractors can be a hit-or-miss considering the industry, but Dr. Raines is the real deal.

Dr. Raines is a God sent, an angel in a ball cap if you will. I came in with lower back pain associated with my QL and not only did Dr. Raines fix that but he also corrected my squat form an issue I didn't even know I had until he saw me squatting and made a few changes which immediately added 70 pounds to my squat max (results may vary). That's not even the best part though, he doesn't want to have you sitting in his office every 2 days like a regular "chiropractor" but instead adjusts you, assesses your issues from training or whatever sport you might play, and then from there assists in making you self sufficient through prehab and post care so that one day as sad as it is you won't have to see him again which should be the goal for everyone. Not only does Dr. Raines provide useful knowledge on self care and more efficient and optimal ways to take care of one's self through physical activity but he does it in such an environment that it doesn't even feel that you're at a doctor's appointment feels like you just went to hang out with good old Will and he just happens to fix you up while you guys catch up, 11/10 would recommend.

Been a member of Convoy Strength for a few months now and have had some injuries in the past that became a consistent theme. In that time, I've been doing what I can to manage my injury but I've still consistently had issues. Speaking with Will first here and there before an initial assessment, I felt confident he knew how to tackle the injury and what steps to take after our initial assessment and so on. It's been about a month since I've seen him and I haven't had an issue since.

For the past couple of months, I was dealing with a mysterious back injury that manifested itself through pain in several different areas. After visiting multiple sports chiropractors, Dr. Raines was by far the best. After a long period of seeing little to no improvement with my back, Dr. Raines gave me hope and shined light on what exactly was wrong with my health when the doctors prior didn’t do the greatest job in telling me what was causing all of this pain. After a couple of visits, Dr. Raines helped me through his craft out of his office as well as giving me the tools to help myself with my back pain, which ended up being a strain of my left quadratus lumborum. I feel that it is safe to say that without Dr. Raines and all he’s done for me, I wouldn’t be on the positive trend upwards that I’ve been riding for quite some time now. SCIO is Latin for “knowledge, ” and Dr. Raines provides you with plenty of that regarding your injuries and what you can do with him to rehabilitate.

Amazing! Will’s experience as an athlete and trainer help him provide a no BS treatment based on what’s happening in your body and your life. He was very clear on his goals for the session and left me with pointers to be able to treat myself at home. He pin-pointed problematic areas that I didn’t even realize were an issue and explained how things connect and effect each other. I will definitely be going back!

Thanks will raines!

Will helped me deal with some bothersome pec and elbow pain. After spending some time with him I was able to overcome my discomfort and hit some powerlifting meet prs without any issues. He was very professional and did a great job at explaining rehab.

Will is hands down the best chiropractor I have ever met. He is such a kind-hearted person that really cares about making you feel the best you can. He truly listens to his patients and provides detailed explanations for what he’s doing. I really appreciate how much time he takes to build a plan for tackling the issue at hand, and how a lot of that plan focuses on what you can do at home.

I’ve gone through countless number of PTs and sports chiropractors just to address a lower back issue that I’ve had for 2-3years now. I’m a competitive athlete and having an injury like mine (severe and constant pain of about 8-9/10 on a daily basis around my L5-S1) is debilitating.

I came to see Dr. William starting only a couple months ago because he’s located conveniently inside of a gym that I also switched to, and he immediately was invested in figuring out the root cause of my issue. I’ve only seen him a handful of times (once every 2-3weeks vs.every week that all of my other chiros and PTs had me do) and by my third visit, my lower back pain subsided to about a 1-2.5/10. We’re still working to eliminate the pain completely, which I know will take time. But comparing how much pain I was in prior to seeing him vs.how much progress we’ve made so far, I’m totally willing to take the time to figure out my triggers and how to address them as to not flare up my issue more than it should.

Dr. Will cares a lot about his clients and it’s hard to explain the level of care without having directly gone and received his service. I highly recommend going to see him for your issues, especially if you’re an athlete.

Came in and visited Dr. Raines and just thought it would a be regular chiropractor appointment, but it stood as otherwise. He explained super in depth to what was causing my lower back pain and used that context in order to come up with the solution. We got straight to work and the following day felt like I had a brand new back and ended up hitting two new PRs for my lifts. Definitely check him out!

I highly recommend seeing Dr. William Raines if you’re an athlete experiencing pain. Not only does she want the best for training but he also goes above and beyond and educates you on what is happening and how it can be prevented in the future. Not to mention that he is a super down to earth guy and you can’t help feeding his energy. I definitely would recommend seeing him.

Honestly I’m always wary of chiropractors, but Will was recommended by another medical professional I trust and I am SO glad. We are still working through my back problems as a lifter and an athlete, but I a) already feel better and b) walk out a little taller so he’s a winner in my book. It’s always a good sign when they say “I don’t want to see you for awhile. ” And then schedules you a few weeks out with a rehab program and a direct line to him for questions. The man isn’t in it for money. He’s in it so we get back to what we love.

Dr. Will is exceptional. Dr. Will separates himself other Chiropractors by addressing not just the joint but the muscles that control the joint. He also has extensive knowledge in functional movement patterns and so his analysis and treatment plan is catered to your body's mechanics. He doesn't just work on, you he educates you, and he leaves you better understanding your own body. I highly recommend Dr. Will to people looking for someone who goes above and beyond.
