He is a Certified Metabolic Physician and interned at Kelly Metabolic Cancer Clinic. He has trained extensively in chiropractic, naturopathy, osteopathy, homeopathy, and clinical kinesiology.

~Curriculum Vitae~
Dr. Joseph Godfrey, DC
Dr. Joseph Godfrey has cared for North County families for more than 30 years, and he sees patients at our Encinitas office on Thursdays.
His approach is straightforward: give people the facts about their condition, not a sales pitch. Patients appreciate that honesty, and many have stayed with him for decades. He treats every age group, from infants through seniors, and adapts his technique to the person in front of him rather than applying the same adjustment to everyone.
Dr. Godfrey’s Hours:
Thursday: Encinitas office

Dr. Teena Woeber
Dr. Teena Woeber is the founder of In-Sync Chiropractic & Laser Therapy and brings more than 30 years of experience in healthcare and business, including 17 years in private practice. She earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University East, graduating Summa Cum Laude, and has training in functional neurology principles, neurodevelopmental reflex work, and integrative chiropractic care.
Her approach is warm, collaborative, and whole-person focused. She looks at how neurological, musculoskeletal, physiological, and biochemical patterns interact — as well as how mental, emotional, and spiritual states influence healing. She works to identify and address the core issues behind symptoms, helping patients restore balance, improve mobility, and support long-term resilience. Her care blends gentle chiropractic adjustments, laser photobiomodulation, craniosacral work, reflex integration, soft-tissue therapies, neurological repatterning, homeopathy, and lifestyle-based clinical nutrition.
Dr. Woeber supports individuals across the lifespan — from children with developmental or sensory challenges to adults seeking resolution with health issues and greater vitality, clarity, and ease in daily life. She is committed to research-informed, integrative care and enjoys collaborating with other providers to ensure patients receive coordinated, supportive treatment.
Dr. Woeber’s Hours:
Wednesday: 12:00pm–3:00pm
Dr. Christopher Pruter
I am a vitalistic chiropractor, an Oceanside local, a husband to a chiropractor, and a proud father. My life is rooted in family, movement, and helping people reconnect with their full potential. I believe in the body’s innate ability to heal and thrive, and it’s my privilege to support that journey for every individual who walks through my door.
My training spans a wide spectrum of chiropractic approaches, blending tonal and subtle techniques like BGI and craniosacral work with more traditional structural care. My passion for sports and the study of human movement deeply influences how I assess and adjust. Some patients resonate with biomechanics and performance, while others seek emotional and mental support. Regardless of your needs, I meet you where you are and adjust my approach to serve you best.
My care is intentional, adaptable, and always tailored to the individual in front of me. Your body is one of a kind, and the care you receive should be just as unique—designed to help you achieve balance, vitality, and optimal health.
