Dr. Andrew Vargas uses the same principles he learned at UCSF in caring for patients
with chronic painful conditions. His aim is to define and diagnose the underlying painful
problem and apply interventional techniques to improve pain, function, and quality of life
so his patients can enjoy the good health of their youth as long as possible.

Dr. Vargas specializes in targeted diagnostic injections, cortisone injections, platelet rich
plasma injections, radiofrequency ablations, and neuromodulation techniques.

Every patient’s experience of pain is unique, and Dr. Vargas takes care to consider
underlying medical problems to optimize treatment and outcomes. His practice takes a
limited role in systemic medication management with careful patient selection and a
tailored, multimodal approach aimed at eliminating use of opioid pain medications.
Dr. Vargas’s role is to empower patients to engage in active treatments aimed at
maintaining strength, flexibility, and improving the mind-body connection.

Managing painful diagnoses is a team effort with the primary goal of rehabilitation. His partners in rehabilitation management include chiropractors, acupuncturists, physical therapists, and psychologists trained to engage our body and mind’s natural pathways for limiting the effects of pain.

Dr. Paul Porter is a doctor of chiropractic with over a decade of experience specializing in comprehensive musculoskeletal care. He focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of conditions affecting the spine, peripheral nerves, joints, and soft tissues—providing patients with comprehensive, evidence-informed care focused on restoring function, improving performance, and supporting long-term musculoskeletal health.
 
Dr. Porter’s commitment to multidisciplinary care began in 2011 when he joined the medical treatment team at the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. Providing care for elite world-class athletes shaped his clinical philosophy: precise diagnosis, performance-driven rehabilitation, and restoring optimal movement without unnecessary intervention. It was during this time that he developed a lasting passion for both physical medicine and men’s health.
 
He earned his doctorate from Palmer College of Chiropractic West in San Jose, California in 2014, after completing a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a focus in Cognitive Neuroscience from Virginia Tech. His background in neuroscience informs his understanding of pain, motor control, and the complex relationship between the nervous system and human movement.
 
Dr. Porter has advanced training in musculoskeletal diagnostic ultrasound from the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine, where he refined his skills in real-time evaluation of soft tissue structures, peripheral nerves, joint pathology, and dynamic biomechanics. He integrates ultrasound into clinical practice to enhance diagnostic accuracy and guide precision-based treatment planning.
 
At the core of his practice is non-surgical musculo-skeletal care. Dr. Porter emphasizes thorough biomechanical assessment and evidence-informed conservative care as the foundation of treatment. He utilizes advanced regenerative technologies, including extracorporeal shockwave therapy and Class IV laser therapy, to stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and accelerate recovery of tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and peripheral nerves. These noninvasive therapies allow patients to address pain and degeneration at the source while minimizing downtime and avoiding unnecessary surgery.
 
Dr. Porter is known for delivering clear answers in complex cases and building structured treatment plans that prioritize restoration over reaction. By combining advanced imaging, biomechanical precision, regenerative technologies, and coordinated interventional care, he provides patients with a comprehensive, surgery-sparing pathway to recovery.
 
His philosophy is simple: diagnose accurately, treat strategically, restore function completely. Whether caring for elite athletes, active professionals, or individuals seeking long-term solutions to chronic pain, Dr. Porter’s focus remains the same—optimize movement, preserve tissue integrity, and deliver measurable outcomes that allow patients to return to the activities that define their lives.
