Pain Hurts, But It's Helpful
Pain is a language our body uses in order to communicate to the brain that there is dysfunction with the area that hurts. This could be due to an injured muscle(s)/muscle groups, injured bone, disc injuries, nerve injuries, and even organ/system dysfunction such as kidney stones. So, how does the...
How often should you get a full body adjustment?
Hi there, thank you for this question! Assuming you are relatively healthy and routinely work out, I'd recommend at least 1-2x/month. I don't have any idea what your health/body condition looks like; until I can meet you and get to know your lifestyle, I'd be inclined to recommend you come into the office for an evaluation before taking my advice. Thanks again for the question! Dr. Morales, D.C. READ MORE
What is wrong with me? Shins and hips
Hi there, I'm so sorry to hear you are so young and experiencing this chronic pain. The shin splints may be exacerbated by footwear, lack of insoles, or simply the way you walk. There are some treatments I have in mind which may help. This includes taping, foot/ankle adjustments, and possibly foot/ankle exercises to undo some of the micro-traumas you've experienced. Thank you for your question. Dr. Morales, D.C. READ MORE
When should I be concerned about rib pain?
Hi there and thank you for your question! Rib pain can be due to a couple of things. For example a muscle strain, fractured rib, rib slightly out of place due to mild trauma. Mild trauma includes picking up an object that your body wasn’t quite ready for, twisting your body while carrying something heavy, or even running into something stationary. I’d be concerned if breathing becomes painful. Thank you again for your question. Enjoy your weekend. Sincerely, Dr. Morales READ MORE

Get to know Chiropractor Dr. Stephanie Morales, who serves patients in San Jose, California.
Dr. Morales, a skillful chiropractor, is the Owner & Operator of AMC Chiropractic in San Jose, California. She helps athletes of all ages and all walks of life by analyzing posture in daily activities and range of motion to triangulate the root cause of the presented issue.
As the name states, the game plan of AMC Chiropractic is to Adjust (A) the patient by offering life changing tools and to encourage them to Mobilize (M) healthier habits and behaviors in their daily life. Creating an environment of healing inherently allows for physical repair and that repair will then allow the patient to Cultivate (C) the life they want and thrive.
A 2020 graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic West Campus, Dr. Morales is certified through the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners. She was honored with the Fellowship Award, which is voted on and awarded to her by her peers.
Attributing her success to God, she says that He has guided her through the trials of Chiropractic college and life in general. It is only because of His grace that she is able to deliver the best patient-centered care. She continues to lean on Him as she runs her race.
As someone born and raised in the area, Dr. Morales knows the culture, the vibe, and she understands how to avoid pitfalls when healthy choices aren’t exactly easy. She partners with her patients to help them recover from both sub-acute and chronic injuries with the correct treatment strategy.
Chiropractic care is a form of alternative medicine that mainly deals with the treatment of mechanical disorders of the spine and musculoskeletal system. Dr. Morales uses spinal adjustments, tissue manipulation, and exercises to manage patients’ health concerns; which include neck pain, back pain, headaches, trigger finger, and other conditions. The aim is to improve patients’ quality of life through increased range of motion of the spine, enabling the body to heal itself naturally without the use of medication or surgery.
Dr. Morales likes to volunteer for her community. She’s been involved with Second Harvest food bank working as a food sorter and more recently with the PARTI Program as a model in a fashion show fundraiser, 9/2020.
On a more personal note, Dr. Morales has a passion for baseball and softball. She has learned many life lessons through playing softball and has used sports in general to convey important concepts to her patients about their health. She also enjoys karaoke, hiking, and anything involving food.
Her favorite professional publication is Crucial Conversations written by Kerry Patterson, Joseph Grenny, and Ron McMillan in 2011. She says that it’s been helpful in both the professional and personal realms and she highly recommends that everyone give it a read.
