If you work or live in Culver City and you're dealing with back pain, sciatica, or neck tension, you don't need to search far — West Los Angeles Chiropractic® is minutes from Culver City, offering same-day digital X-rays and a treatment plan built around your specific spine, not a generic protocol.

Why So Many Culver City Patients Call Us

Culver City has become one of the Westside's biggest employment hubs — Apple, Meta, Sony Pictures, Amazon Studios, and the Lantana Campus all sit within a few minutes of our office. Long hours at a desk, on set, or in back-to-back meetings put steady mechanical stress on the spine, and that stress compounds over months and years into real, diagnosable conditions — not just "tension."

The Conditions We See Most From Culver City Patients

  • Lower back pain from prolonged sitting or desk work
  • Sciatica — sharp, radiating pain down the leg from nerve compression
  • Neck and shoulder tension from screen time and posture
  • Herniated or bulging discs, sometimes without a single dramatic injury — just accumulated load over time

How Chiropractic Care Helps

Chiropractic adjustment addresses the structural cause of this pain — realigning the spine and relieving the mechanical pressure on nerves that builds up from sitting and posture strain. The 2017 American College of Physicians (ACP) clinical practice guidelines recommend spinal manipulation as a first-line treatment for back pain, before medication or surgery.

When the Disc Is Involved: Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression

For Culver City patients with a herniated or bulging disc, chiropractic adjustment alone may not fully resolve the problem. Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression using the DRX9000 — FDA-cleared technology backed by 28 clinical studies, 20 published in peer-reviewed journals — applies precisely calibrated traction to create negative intradiscal pressure, designed to help retract herniated material away from the nerve and support the disc's own healing. Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression may not be appropriate for every patient — Dr. Karr reviews your X-rays and clinical presentation to determine candidacy.

Dr. Michael Karr: Same-Day X-Rays, Read Personally

Dr. Michael Karr, a UCLA Kinesiology graduate who has treated West LA patients since 1989, takes digital X-rays on your first visit and reads them himself, the same day. You see exactly what's happening in your spine before treatment ever begins.
