If you live or work in West Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Brentwood, Culver City, or Westwood and you've been struggling with sciatica, herniated discs, or chronic back pain — you already know how much it affects everything. Your sleep. Your work. Your ability to simply get through the day without thinking about your next movement.

Most people try the same cycle — pain medication, physical therapy, cortisone injections — and find temporary relief at best. What many don't know is that there's an FDA-cleared, non-surgical option that targets the actual source of the problem, not just the symptoms.

What Is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression?

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is a therapy that gently stretches the spine using a computerized table — in our case, the DRX9000™, the #1 rated spinal decompression system available. This controlled decompression creates negative pressure inside the affected disc, which helps:

  • Draw herniated or bulging disc material back toward its normal position
  • Relieve pressure on compressed spinal nerves
  • Promote blood flow and nutrient delivery to the disc for natural healing
  • Reduce sciatic nerve pain, numbness, and tingling in the legs or arms

It is safe, painless, and requires no recovery time. Most patients feel relief within the first several treatments.

Who Is a Candidate?

Spinal decompression is ideal for patients suffering from:

  • Sciatica and radiating leg pain
  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Spinal stenosis or foraminal stenosis
  • Chronic lower back or neck pain
  • Failed conservative treatment or those wanting to avoid surgery

An MRI is required prior to treatment so Dr. Karr can review your imaging and confirm you are a candidate.

What Makes West Los Angeles Chiropractic® Different?

We are one of the only offices in Los Angeles offering the DRX9000™ combined with MedX Rehab strengthening and same-day in-office digital X-rays — all under one roof. No referrals. No waiting days for results. No extra trips across town.

Our approach treats the structural cause of your pain — not just the symptom. That is why patients come to us from West LA, Santa Monica, Brentwood, Beverly Hills, Culver City, Playa Vista, Westwood, Mar Vista, and across the Westside.

How Much Does It Cost?

Your first visit — including a comprehensive exam, two digital X-rays, and your first spinal decompression treatment — is just $149.

We accept most PPO insurance plans, Medicare, MedPay, Workers' Compensation, and approved liens. CareCredit financing is also available, so you can start treatment today and pay over time.

Take the First Step Today

If you have been told surgery is your only option — get a second opinion first. Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression has helped thousands of patients avoid surgery and get back to living their lives pain-free.

Call us today and ask for Betty. She will verify your insurance benefits, answer your questions, and get you scheduled — often same day.

"Your Exclusive 25% Discount on Metagenics® Supplements"

West Los Angeles Chiropractic® | Wellness Blog

Precision Weight & Hormone Balance for Women: Why Practitioner-Grade Supplements Matter

Published by West Los Angeles Chiropractic®  |  West Los Angeles, CA  |  Wellness & Nutrition
If you've been eating right and exercising but still struggling with weight, energy, or hormonal balance — the missing piece may not be effort. It may be the quality of your nutritional support.

At West Los Angeles Chiropractic®, we believe whole-body health goes beyond spinal alignment. For years, Dr. Karr has recommended Metagenics® supplements to patients because of one simple reason: they work. And unlike what you find on store shelves, Metagenics® is a practitioner-grade, plant-based line formulated for clinical results — not retail margins.

What Makes Metagenics® Different?

The supplement industry is largely unregulated. Most products are formulated to look impressive on a label — not to deliver measurable outcomes. Metagenics® holds itself to a higher standard: every product is designed with clinical evidence, practitioner oversight, and therapeutic-grade ingredients.

That's why you won't find it at a grocery store. It's available through licensed healthcare providers — like our practice — to ensure patients receive proper guidance on usage and dosing.

Supporting Weight & Hormone Balance in Women

Hormonal imbalances, blood sugar instability, and gut dysfunction are among the most common — and most overlooked — drivers of weight gain in women. Metagenics® addresses these at the root level with targeted formulations including:

  • Wellness Essentials® Women's Daily Packs — Targeted nutritional support for women's overall health and wellness
  • UltraFlora® Healthy Weight with Akkermansia — Restores Akkermansia for healthy weight maintenance and gut balance
  • Berberine GT — Clinically studied for cardiovascular and metabolic support, including healthy blood sugar regulation

Together, these products support enhanced metabolism, stabilized blood sugar, improved gut health, and hormonal balance — all without harsh stimulants or synthetic ingredients.

Dr. Karr's Recommendation

As part of comprehensive care at West Los Angeles Chiropractic®, Dr. Karr incorporates nutritional support when appropriate for patients dealing with inflammation, weight challenges, and recovery. Metagenics® is the line he trusts because the formulations align with how the body actually heals — systematically, not symptomatically.

🎁 Exclusive Patient Discount: 25% OFF + FREE Shipping

As a patient of West Los Angeles Chiropractic®, you're entitled to a permanent 25% discount on all Metagenics® products — plus free shipping on every order placed through our practitioner portal.

How to Order Online

First time ordering? 3 simple steps:
  1. Visit: drKarr.metagenics.com
  2. Create your free patient account
  3. Enter discount code: DRMKAR3335

Your 25% discount applies automatically at checkout — on every future order.

Rain + Car Accidents in LA — Why Your Spine May Be at Risk Days Later

West Los Angeles Chiropractic® specializes in post-accident spinal injury treatment serving West LA, Santa Monica, Brentwood, Culver City, and Playa Vista. LA rain season is increasing car accident injuries including herniated discs, whiplash, and sciatica. Our personal injury chiropractor offers same-day digital X-rays, non-surgical spinal decompression, and cold laser therapy with no upfront cost. MedPay accepted. Personal injury liens accepted. Attorney coordination available. New patients welcome. Call 310-914-9400 or visit WestLosAngelesChiropractic.com.


🌧️ LA rain is causing more accidents — and the injuries that follow aren't always immediate. If you've been in a collision, your spine may be at risk even if you feel fine right now.

At West Los Angeles Chiropractic®, we've seen firsthand what delayed injury looks like. Last week alone, patients referred friends and loved ones to us after accidents — including two serious 18-wheeler collisions. We were honored by that trust, and we took it seriously.

Disc herniations, whiplash, and nerve compression from accidents often don't surface for hours or days. The sooner you're evaluated, the better protected your health — and your claim.

What we cover in this video: ✔️ Why rainy LA roads increase collision risk ✔️ How accident impact affects spinal discs and nerves ✔️ Why symptoms are often delayed after a crash ✔️ How non-surgical spinal decompression helps post-accident recovery ✔️ Your options — even with no upfront cost

Medicare Chiropractic Benefits: Decompression & Pain Relief

Discover how Medicare covers chiropractic care, spinal decompression, and massage for seniors. Learn about copays, unlimited visits, and pain relief options. As we age, staying active isn't just a goal—it's a necessity for maintaining our independence and enjoying life. Whether it's playing with grandchildren, gardening, or simply taking a comfortable walk around the neighborhood, mobility matters.

Medicare and Chiropractic: A Pathway to Pain-Free Living


Discover how Medicare covers chiropractic care, spinal decompression, and massage for seniors. Learn about copays, unlimited visits, and pain relief options.

As we age, staying active isn't just a goal—it's a necessity for maintaining our independence and enjoying life. Whether it's playing with grandchildren, gardening, or simply taking a comfortable walk around the neighborhood, mobility matters.

However, for many seniors, chronic pain can become an unwelcome barrier to these simple joys. The good news? You don't have to accept discomfort as a normal part of aging.

At West Los Angeles Chiropractic®, we specialize in helping seniors reclaim their comfort and mobility through gentle, non-invasive care. Best of all, your Medicare benefits are likely more robust than you realize, often covering the very treatments that can help you feel like yourself again.

Why Chiropractic Care is Essential for Seniors

The aging spine faces unique challenges. Decades of gravity, posture habits, and wear and tear can lead to conditions like osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, and disc degeneration. While these terms sound intimidating, the symptoms—stiffness, aches, and limited range of motion—are often manageable with the right care.

Chiropractic care for seniors focuses on gentle adjustments and therapies designed to:

  • Reduce Joint Inflammation: alleviating the deep aches associated with arthritis.
  • Restore Balance and Coordination: lowering the risk of falls by improving how your body communicates with your brain.
  • Increase Flexibility: making it easier to bend, reach, and move freely.
  • Minimize Reliance on Medication: offering a natural alternative to pain management without the side effects of strong pharmaceuticals.

Spinal Decompression*: A Game-Changer for Chronic Pain

If you suffer from sciatica, herniated discs, or stubborn lower back pain that radiates down your legs, traditional adjustments might not be enough. This is where non-surgical spinal decompression comes in.

Using FDA-cleared technology like the DRX9000, spinal decompression gently stretches the spine. This process creates a vacuum effect within the discs, which can:

  1. Retract Herniated Material: Taking pressure off pinched nerves.
  2. Promote Healing: Flooding the injured area with nutrient-rich fluids and oxygen.
  3. Relieve Pressure: offering relief where other treatments have failed.

For Medicare patients, accessing these advanced therapies can be a turning point in avoiding surgery and maintaining an active lifestyle. *Medicare does NOT cover Spinal Decompression

Unlocking Your Medicare Benefits

One of the most common questions we hear is, "Does Medicare cover this?" The answer is often a resounding "Yes"—and the coverage is frequently better than patients expect.

We believe healthcare should be accessible and transparent. Here is what you need to know about your potential benefits:

Unlimited Visits for Medically Necessary Care

Unlike some private insurance plans that cap your visits, Medicare generally covers unlimited chiropractic visits when they are medically necessary to correct a spinal subluxation. This means we can create a treatment plan based on what your body actually needs to heal, not just what an insurance company dictates.

Affordable Copays

Quality care shouldn't break the bank. For most Medicare plans, the out-of-pocket cost is very manageable. Patients typically see a copay ranging anywhere between $10 and $30 per visit. This affordability ensures you can commit to the consistent care required for long-term relief.

The "Hidden" Perk: Therapeutic Massage

Here is a benefit that surprises many of our patients. Depending on your specific Medicare supplement or secondary insurance, your visit may include a 10-minute manual therapy or massage session.

This isn't just for relaxation (though it certainly helps!). This targeted soft tissue work helps:

  • Relax tight muscles before an adjustment.
  • Improve circulation to injured areas.
  • Break down scar tissue that restricts movement.

Therapies That Complement Your Care

At West Los Angeles Chiropractic®, we don't just treat the spine; we treat the whole person. Your Medicare-covered visits may also grant you access to a suite of complementary therapies designed to speed up recovery:

  • Cold Laser Therapy: Uses light energy to reduce inflammation and accelerate tissue repair.
  • Muscle Stimulation: Helps retrain and relax muscles that are in spasm.
  • Intersegmental Traction: Gently mobilizes the spinal column to improve elasticity.

Take the Next Step Toward Better Health

You have worked hard all your life—now let your health benefits work for you. Don't let confusion about insurance prevent you from getting the relief you deserve. Our team is experienced in navigating Medicare policies and can verify your specific coverage before you even step into the treatment room.

If you are ready to improve your mobility, reduce your pain, and get back to doing the things you love, we are here to help.

How Your Medicare Benefits Can Help You Live a More Active, Pain-Free Life

Staying active and feeling your best is important at every age. As we grow older, everyday aches, stiffness, and reduced mobility can sometimes make it harder to enjoy life to the fullest. The good news is that gentle, supportive care options are available—and your Medicare benefits may help make that care more accessible.

Staying Active as You Age

Mobility plays a key role in maintaining independence, balance, and overall well-being. When back pain, neck stiffness, sciatica, or joint discomfort interfere with daily activities, even simple tasks can feel challenging. Addressing these issues early and consistently can help support a healthier, more active lifestyle.

Chiropractic Care for Seniors

Many of our senior patients choose chiropractic care as a conservative, non-invasive approach to managing common age-related conditions. Our care is designed to be gentle, safe, and personalized to each patient’s needs.

Chiropractic care may help support:

  • Reduced back, neck, and joint discomfort

  • Improved mobility and range of motion

  • Better balance and confidence with movement

  • Enhanced overall comfort and quality of life

By focusing on spinal health and proper alignment, chiropractic care can play an important role in helping seniors stay active and engaged in daily life.

Understanding Medicare Chiropractic Benefits

One of the most common questions we hear is, “Does Medicare cover chiropractic care?”
Medicare may help cover medically necessary chiropractic spinal manipulation when specific criteria are met.

Many Medicare plans include:

  • Coverage for medically necessary spinal manipulation

  • Ongoing care based on medical necessity

  • A modest copay, often depending on your specific plan

Because coverage details can vary, our team is happy to help verify your Medicare benefits and explain what services may be available to you.

At West Los Angeles Chiropractic®, we are proud to serve patients throughout West Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Brentwood, Beverly Hills, and Culver City. Our goal is to provide compassionate, patient-focused care while helping you understand your health care options.
