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.
