If you are old enough, you may recall a time when doctors made house calls, a service long gone, but being revived in the Mountain Empire by husband and wife chiropractic health
care providers, Drs. Rafael and Angela Lopez, D.C.
When they sold their clinic in San Jose, CA, population over 1 million, to relocate to Sonoita, AZ, population under 1000, the couple knew their business model had to change. So they set up a unique patient-centered house call practice, Lopez House Calls, specializing exclusively in bringing chiropractic care directly to the client in their home, workplace or lodging.
Beyond relief for injury and chronic pain, the Lopez doctors emphasize the wide range of therapy that chiropractic care imparts. “Today’s lifestyles can generate physical, mental and emotional stress on a regular basis. By taking house calls to the comfort, safety and privacy of one’s home, guest room, or office, we can directly improve quality of life by bringing the nervous system and whole body into fuller, more resilient function, without
the added stress of driving long distances to a clinic,” says Rafael Lopez. “Angela and I focus on the immediate to long-term condition and needs of the individual, whether pediatric, prenatal or elder. We also help improve ergonomics at computer workstations,
where many spend so much of their time these days, often sustaining painful stress and strain injuries.”
Angela and Rafael are no strangers to the area. Rafael’s parents are Romaldo and Lydia Lopez, owners of the Metamorphosis Art Gallery in Patagonia until fall of 2017. Angela
says, “Like others in our community, we left the busy urban life to be close to family and to enjoy all the wonders of the high desert. We think our practice model, ‘We Come to You,’ is a perfect match for the country lifestyle.”
Lopez House Calls spans Sonoita, Elgin, Canelo and Patagonia. To schedule a house call and learn more about the chiropractic services of Drs. Angela and Rafael Lopez, go to www.lopezhousecalls.com or call 520-357-1711
