Ted W Pena, DC

Just in my third visit and already find Dr Pena so helpful, personable and VERY knowledgeable. Sharing my experience with everyone I know.
I received Dr Pena’s information from a good friend who also referred him highly. The best choice I’ve made in this area.

Thank you Dr. Pena & staff! You have been such a blessing to our family. The care we have received and continue to receive has been exceptional! We have been patients for over a year and always arrive to clean, fresh & friendly office. We love the ambiance of the practice as well very warm and inviting! Thanks again and we look forward to continuing our date with you! We not only gained a great chiropractor & staff but we made new friends as well!

I am very active and work out regularly, but when I started having hip and sciatic pain it really slowed me down. I was not only missing workouts but just standing for 30 or 40 minutes to prepare dinner in the evenings was so uncomfortable I needed to sit down in between tasks. It turns out I had a compressed disc in my lower back that was causing my pain. Dr. Peña came highly recommended by my fitness coach, so I decided to give it a try. Dr. Peña put me on a program that included spinal decompression, regular adjustments and some stretches and exercises I could do on my own. Within the first week I already felt relief. By week 2 I was able to workout again, now I have no hip pain at all. I have noticed stiffness & other aches and pains are gone too! I love coming in and being treated like family. Dr. Peña and his staff really care about their patients! In addition to working out and regular massage, I have added Orangecrest Chiropractic to my fitness/​wellness program! Wish I had known sooner!

Dr. Pena is a life saver after a car accident in August I came here in pain unable to stand straight from the pain all over as a result.
With his care and knowledge what needed to be done to get me back to myself .
He explained the process, took x-​rays and treatment began and I am so thankful .Best choice I made coming here. Staff is also very friendly and helpful every time

We first went to Dr. Ted Peña because my daughter (then 6 months old) had a minor ear infection that her pediatrician wanted to treat with a massive dose of antibiotics. Due to a family history of adverse reactions to prescription medication, I sought out a more natural course of treatment.
Dr. Peña understood my hesitancy of giving one so young so much medication, carefully examined my daughter, then adjusted her. Within hours, her fever reduced and she nursed for the first time in days without crying. He invited us back for daily treatments that week and by Day 2, her fever and all signs/​symptoms infection were completely gone. I suffered with chronic ear infections as a kid (so much so that I became immune to Amoxicillin and needed tubes in my ears by age 4) so finding an alternative way to save my children from that similar agony made my mommy heart happy.
With my 3^rd pregnancy, it was the first time I was able to be adjusted weekly during my pregnancy. I was in active labor for only 2.5 hours and pushed my 8lb 2oz son out within 5 minutes! After LONG labors with my other two kids, I fully credit Dr. Peña’s regular adjustments as the biggest reason for my swift labor. Three days after delivery, we took our newborn son to see Dr. Peña and both Baby & I received a gentle adjustment. That night, Baby Boy slept 6 hours straight! He’s remained my best sleeper thanks to regular care under Dr. Peña.
Also, several years ago, my husband compressed a disc in his back so badly that Kaiser insisted he would need surgery to fix it (and yes, we did receive a 2^nd opinion that suggested the same type of surgery). When Dr. Peña examined by husband’s x-​rays, he believed the disc could be healed without surgery and recommended a less drastic form of treatment. After a few courses of spinal decompression therapy & regular adjustments, my husband was able to walk without pain. By the time his treatment was finished (about 2 months, I think), his back felt better than it ever had before and he was able to keep working through it all! If he would’ve opted for the surgery, he would’ve still been out of work to recover at that time AND his Kaiser doc had even said that there was no guarantee my husband would be pain-​free after surgery, even with physical therapy. I’m so thankful for Dr. Peña saving my family from a potentially life-​altering issues with his professional and proper assessment of our needs!
I could go on & on but will end with this:
In the 7 years that Dr. Peña has been treating my family, we have gained not only a trusted practitioner but a family friend. His integrity, honesty, & care resonates through his practices and into the lives of his patients in tangible ways. If you’re looking for a chiropractor who can treat your WHOLE FAMILY, look no further than Dr. Ted Peña!

I have been seeing Dr. Peña for seven years. It has been a true blessing to have him in my life. He always takes the time to listen to me. I am the type of person that likes to be educated about everything I take part in; Dr Peña has done just that. He has taught me about how important it spinal health is and how it affects overall body health.
He truly cares for each and every individual patient. I know this because many people I know see him on a regular basis. Dr. Peña not only has a passion for what he does, he has compassion for everyone he comes in contact with.

My family and I have been seeing a Chiropractor since our oldest daughter was about 4 months old. She had digestion issues since birth that were always greatly improved by regular chiropractic adjustments.
Starting 2 years ago I started developing debilitating lower back pain that eventually spread into hips and numbness down my legs. I had explained my issues several times to my previous chiropractor who didn’t seem to take «I can’t go more than 5 hours without motrin» too seriously. Desperate for relief and answers, I made an appointment with Dr. Peña. He took the time to listen and empathize with my chronic pain, while caring for a toddler no less. He took x-​rays and thoroughly explained all of his findings using my x-​rays, charts, and visual aids to make sure I understood what was happening to me. I grew up very skeptical of chiropractors and as a result I ask too many questions and demand thorough explanations of everything. Dr. Peña was patient and detailed in all of his answers. I was confident in his diagnosis and we began decompression treatments and multiple adjustments weekly. I noticed I was able to begin going a little bit longer between my OTC pain meds and after about a month of treatments, I was starting to go almost a full day.
Dr. Peña advocates for total health, and with him I was able to figure out ways of preventing this pain from coming back. I joined an intense workout group that I was able to participate in and modify when necessary. After only 3 – 4 weeks of working out, I no longer needed modifications and was able to do burpees, push-​ups, and could run with my group. The only modification I kept was a no-​impact jumping jack.
I spent a total of 13 months in debilitating pain that affected my life in so many ways. I’m so thankful I made the switch to Dr. Peña who took my pain seriously, was honest and careful in his treatment, and continues to encourage me to be healthy in every way.
