Core Engagement Issues
Understand why your core disengages and learn what actually helps.
What You'll Get in Your Evaluation
Hands-On Assessment
We evaluate how your spine, pelvis, and muscle patterns are affecting your ability to engage your core. This helps pinpoint the true root cause rather than guessing or relying on generic exercises.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Targeted adjustments help restore proper motion to the spine and pelvis, making it easier for your core to activate naturally. These are comfortable, precise, and tailored to your specific needs.
Soft-Tissue Work
We address tight or overactive muscles like the glutes, QLs, TFLs, and hip flexors that may be overcompensating for weak or inhibited core function. This helps reduce tension and allows your body to move more efficiently.
Targeted Stability Exercises
You’ll leave with easy, effective exercises that support your adjustments and help retrain proper core engagement. No equipment or gym setup required.

Why the Core Stops Engaging
For most people, core engagement issues don’t start in the core itself. If the spine or pelvis isn’t moving well, your body creates compensations, tightening some muscles and inhibiting others. Overworked areas can “take over,” while the deeper stabilizing muscles struggle to fire. Fixing these underlying mechanics often restores proper core function without complicated rehab.

I don't know what would have happened if I had kept going to see my other doctor. Your care has been the only thing that has actually brought me relief in the past year.
Dr. Kakishita provides exceptional care with remarkable attention to detail. I initially became his patient at his previous practice, and when I learned he had opened his own clinic, I immediately looked for him. His outstanding treatment has significantly improved my mobility and reduced my pain. His unique approach and genuine concern for patient wellness make him stand out in his field. I've experienced consistent progress under his care and wouldn't trust my spinal health to anyone else. He is highly recommended for anyone seeking quality chiropractic treatment.
Dr. K is an amazing chiropractor!! I was dealing with a lot of lower back and hip pain and he worked with me for months and gave me exercises and stretches I could do at home in addition to what he could do in office. He made me feel important like I was the only patient he was working with and was truly concerned with my well being and in helping me get back to running and moving like I had in the past. Definitely recommend him and the treatment he does!!
I can’t recommend Dr. Andrew at Kinetic Chiropractic enough! Unlike other chiropractors who rush you in and out with a quick two-minute adjustment, Andrew truly takes the time to understand your pain and address the root cause of the issue. From the very first visit, he was incredibly thorough—asking the right questions, assessing my mobility, and developing a plan tailored to my needs. He doesn’t just do a basic adjustment and send you on your way; he goes the extra mile by incorporating muscle work, mobility exercises, and practical advice to help you heal and prevent future issues. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and wants to see long-term improvements, not just temporary relief. If you’re looking for a...
My husband was struggling with neck pain, and Dr. Kakishita provided exceptional care that made a real difference. From the very first visit, they took the time to listen, assess the issue thoroughly, and provide a treatment plan that brought him noticeable relief. The level of expertise is truly impressive. We’re so grateful for their help and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled and caring chiropractor!
Dr. Kakishita has been great! I appreciate that he really listens and tries to get to the root of the problem rather than just giving me a generic adjustment. I also really appreciate the exercises he gives me to help me strengthen whatever areas are giving me issues. He’s personable and genuinely interested in each patient. I would definitely recommend him!
Dr. Kakishita is hands down the best chiropractor I’ve been to. He took the time to really listen to my concerns and explained everything in a way that made sense. I never felt rushed—he was thoughtful, thorough, and you can tell he truly knows what he’s doing. During my visit, he didn’t just do a quick adjustment and send me on my way. He adjusted me, did scraping on my back, used shockwave therapy on my arm, and put on tape to help with recovery. He also offers ice packs though I didn’t take one for my visit. He came up with a personalized treatment plan and shared it with me so I knew exactly what to expect moving forward. A lot of chiropractors feel like they’re just trying to get you in and out—but Dr. Kakishita is different. He...
Dr. Kakishita is great! He is super informative and really helped with my neck pain and headaches.
This was my first time going to a chiropractor. Dr. K was great, talking me through the various procedures. It feels like he actually cares about my injury and ensuring the procedures are actually helping me improve.
If you’re looking for a chiropractor that really cares about you and takes pride in their work, go see Dr. Kakishita at Kinetic Chiropractic! I walked into his office with a very limiting back injury after several days of not being able to perform typical daily activities. Nothing can explain my quick turn around other than Dr Kakishita’s willingness to really hear my issue and treat me according to my needs. I felt the exam was very personalized and thorough, and he asked clarifying questions about my injury along the way. 10/10 would recommend for any chiropractic needs, big or small!
