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.

Employees from Google, Riot Games, EA Sports, Meta, Yahoo, and other high-tech companies in West LA are turning to West Los Angeles Chiropractic® for feel better — naturally.

Why Tech Professionals Choose West Los Angeles Chiropractic® 

If you work in tech, you already know the toll long hours at a desk can take on your body. From neck pain and low back issues to chronic stress and poor posture, many employees from Google, Riot Games, EA Sports, Meta, Yahoo, and other high-tech companies in West LA are turning to chiropractic care to feel better — naturally.


Why Chiropractic Care Matters for Tech Professionals

Whether you're coding for hours, sitting through back-to-back video calls, or racing against tight project deadlines, you're likely dealing with:

  • Forward head posture from prolonged screen time
  • Tension headaches that interfere with concentration
  • Lower back pain from prolonged sitting
  • Sciatica and nerve pain that radiates down your legs
  • Neck and shoulder tightness that worsens throughout the day
  • Stress-related physical fatigue that affects your performance

Rather than masking symptoms with pain medication, our treatments aim to realign your spine, reduce nerve interference, and restore proper movement patterns — supporting your performance while helping prevent more serious injuries from developing. A 2018 study published in Spine found that chiropractic patients with chronic low back or neck pain showed significant improvements across quality-of-life measures at the three-month mark (Hays et al., 2018).

  • Identify the exact source of your pain
  • Build a personalized treatment plan immediately
  • Begin appropriate care without delay
  • Track your progress with follow-up imaging when needed

Massage Therapy Often Included
Many treatment plans include therapeutic massage alongside chiropractic care, which may help relax tight muscles before adjustments, improve circulation, and support the effectiveness of your treatment.

Common Childhood Injuries and How We Can Help at West Los Angeles Chiropractic® /Osgood-Schlatter Disease in Young Athletes: What Parents in West LA Need to Know

Knee pain in a young athlete? Osgood-Schlatter disease care for kids at West Los Angeles Chiropractic®. Call: 310-914-9400.

Osgood-Schlatter Disease in Young Athletes: What Parents in West LA Need to Know

Osgood-Schlatter disease causes knee pain in growing children and teens — most often between ages 10 and 15, and especially in sports involving running, jumping, or quick direction changes. It happens when the patellar tendon repeatedly pulls on the growth plate just below the kneecap, and while it can be uncomfortable, it's a well-understood, self-limiting condition that typically improves as your child finishes growing.

What's Actually Happening

As kids grow, bone often lengthens faster than the surrounding muscles and tendons can keep up with, creating extra tension where the patellar tendon attaches below the kneecap. Repetitive impact from running, jumping, or pivoting adds mechanical stress right at that attachment point, leading to the swelling, tenderness, and pain that make running, climbing stairs, or kneeling difficult.

The Good News: This Almost Always Resolves With Time

Osgood-Schlatter disease is not a structural injury that gets "fixed" — it's a growth-related overuse condition that typically settles down on its own once the growth plate matures. The goal of care during this period isn't to rush a cure; it's to manage discomfort, avoid aggravating it further, and keep your young athlete as active and comfortable as possible while their body catches up.

How We Support Young Athletes at West Los Angeles Chiropractic®

We start with in-office digital X-rays to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other causes of knee pain in growing kids — an important step, since several conditions can look similar at this age. From there, care typically focuses on:

  • A biomechanical assessment of how your child moves, runs, and jumps
  • Guidance on activity modification during flare-ups, without necessarily sidelining your athlete completely
  • Stretching and strengthening exercises targeting the quadriceps and surrounding muscles
  • Monitoring progress over time as your child continues to grow

Dr. Michael Karr, a UCLA Kinesiology graduate treating West LA families since 1989, reviews your child's X-rays personally and explains what's actually going on — so you're not left guessing whether it's something more serious.

What Your Child's First Visit Looks Like

  • In-office digital X-rays, reviewed the same day
  • A movement and biomechanical assessment
  • A clear, honest explanation of what's causing the pain
  • A guidance plan built around your child's specific activity level and sport

We accept Medicare, most PPO insurance (Anthem Blue Cross, Cigna, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare), and CareCredit. Call Betty to verify your coverage before your visit, at no cost to you.

We're at 11340 W. Olympic Blvd., Suite 165, Los Angeles, CA 90064 — ground floor, free parking, near the 405 and 10. Serving West LA, Santa Monica, Brentwood, Beverly Hills, Culver City, Bel Air, Venice, and Westwood.

Call Betty: 310-914-9400

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Osgood-Schlatter disease go away on its own? In most cases, yes — it typically resolves once the growth plate finishes maturing. Care in the meantime focuses on managing discomfort and supporting activity, not curing an injury.

Should my child stop playing sports entirely? Not necessarily. Many young athletes continue playing with activity modification during flare-ups. Dr. Karr can help determine what level of activity is appropriate for your child specifically.

Why does my child need an X-ray for knee pain? X-rays help confirm Osgood-Schlatter disease and rule out other, less common causes of knee pain in growing children — an important step before assuming it's just growing pains.

Is this related to a spine or nerve problem? No — Osgood-Schlatter disease is a local knee condition related to growth and tendon tension, not a spinal issue. Care focuses on biomechanics and activity guidance specific to the knee.
