We specialize in the treatment of sciatic pain relief. We use the DRX9000 Non Surgical Spinal Decompression machine, which has been cleared by the FDA. Many patients have been able to avoid back surgery with the our treatment for sciatica and disc bulges, herniations and pinched nerves among other things. We also use MedX rehabilitation for strengthening exercises and Cold Laser as part of the treatment for sciatica. MedPay, Work Comp and some Ins pay for Spinal Decompression treatment. I graduated UCLA with a minor in Kinesiology before receiving my doctorate.I've been at the same location since 1989.

Chiropractic & Arthritis & Cold Damp Weather

Having Back Pain during Cold & Damp Weather? We can help you.

Well the reason could be due to an arthritic condition. Arthritic symptoms can be aggravated by cold and damp weather thus the reason people who have arthritis move to the desert, where they find dry heat, and in most of the cases reliefs back pain as we've experienced.

The chiropractic adjustments can also help during rainy times, because arthritis as doesn't like the movement during the adjustments. Patients have often explained that they feel after being adjusted. 

These are alternatives to taking ibuprofen when dealing with back back during rainy periods. Consult with a doctor if this is right for you?

Enterovirus and Chiropractic

Enterovirus D68: There has been a confirmed case of Enterovirus D68 in Los Angeles. This is the virus you may have been hearing about in the news that was originally reported in Colorado and the East Coast. It is similar to the flu with mild to severe respiratory symptoms. Severe symptoms, if left untreated, can develop with further complications. You have heard this before but the best way to protect yourself from any respiratory illnesses is by following these steps: · Wash hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds · Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands · Avoid sharing cups / eating utensils with people who are sick. · Disinfect frequently touched surfaces, such as toys and doorknobs, especially if someone is sick.

Break Bad Eating Habits by Retraining Your Brain - Chiropractic

Break Bad Eating Habits by Retraining Your Brain Just as junk food can become an addiction, researchers at Tufts University and at Massachusetts General Hospital showed that the brain can be retrained to prefer the. People aren't born loving cheeseburgers and creamy pasta dishes; they're conditioned over time by repeatedly eating such foods, creating addiction circuits in the brain. The study followed 13 overweight or obese men and women over six months using MRI imaging of their brains. "The brain scans showed changes in areas of the brain reward center which are associated with learning and addiction," writes Harold Mandel for the Syracuse Natural Health Examiner. "At the end of six months this area of the brain had increased sensitivity to healthy, lower-calorie foods. This served as an indication of increased reward and enjoyment of healthier food cues. There was also decreased sensitivity to the unhealthy foods." This is great news for those trying to lose weight or break even lifetime-long habits of unhealthy eating.
