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.

If you work at Google, Apple, Amazon, Meta, EA, Riot Games, Yahoo, or Disney — or anywhere in Playa Vista, Culver City, or West Los Angeles — your spine is paying the price.

Eight to twelve hours a day at a desk, back-to-back Zoom calls, coding marathons, and creative production deadlines are doing real structural damage. Tech neck. Herniated discs. Sciatica. Degenerative disc disease. These are not just inconveniences — they are occupational injuries that get worse the longer they go untreated.

And surgery is not the answer. Not yet. Not when there is a better option available minutes from your campus.

The Problem With Sitting All Day

Every hour you spend sitting compresses your lumbar discs. Over time that compression leads to disc bulges, herniation, and nerve impingement — the direct cause of sciatica, radiating leg pain, numbness, and tingling. Forward head posture from screens adds up to 60 pounds of extra stress on your cervical spine, leading to tech neck, tension headaches, and mid-back pain.

Most high performers push through it. They take ibuprofen, book a massage, and get back to work. Until one day the pain becomes impossible to ignore.

What We Do Differently at West Los Angeles Chiropractic®

We start with a precise diagnosis — same-day in-office digital X-rays reviewed with you at your appointment, a comprehensive exam, and a detailed case history. Dr. Michael Karr identifies the structural source of your pain before recommending any treatment.

Then we treat it with the most advanced non-surgical technology available on the Westside:

  • DRX9000™ FDA-cleared Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression — gently relieves disc and nerve pressure without surgery or injections
  • MedX Rehab strengthening — rebuilds the supporting musculature around the spine for long-term stability
  • Cold laser therapy — reduces inflammation and accelerates tissue healing at the cellular level
  • Custom Foot Levelers® leather orthotics — 3D-scanned and precision-crafted to correct structural imbalances from the ground up
  • Therapeutic massage — releases muscle tension and improves circulation throughout the treatment plan
  • Chiropractic adjustments — restores proper spinal alignment and joint mobility

Everything under one roof. No referrals. No runaround. No downtime.

Your PPO Insurance Probably Covers More Than You Think

If you work at a Westside tech company your employer PPO — whether it's Anthem Blue Cross, Cigna, Aetna, or UnitedHealthcare — likely covers chiropractic care. In some cases spinal decompression for disc injuries is a covered benefit under your plan. We verify your benefits before your first visit so there are no surprises.

CareCredit financing is also available for any out-of-pocket costs — so nothing stands between you and getting better.

New Patient Special — $99

Your first visit includes a comprehensive exam, two in-office digital X-rays, and your first treatment — all for just $99. Same-day and Saturday appointments available to work around your schedule.

We are located minutes from the Playa Vista and Culver City tech campuses — ground floor, free parking, near the 10 and 405 freeways.

Stop Managing the Pain. Start Correcting It.

High performers don't accept broken systems. Don't accept a broken spine either. Call Betty today and let's build a plan that gets you back to operating at full capacity.
