How to Find a Chiropractor: Everything you need to know to find the right chiropractor for you.
I have been a practicing chiropractor for twent-three years. I work in perhaps the most chiropractically concentrated region of the country. Along with New York, the Los Angeles regions of Beverly Hills and West Hollywood have more chiropractors per square mile than any other parts of the world.

Tennis Elbow: Pain Year Round for Some – Treating and Preventing Lateral Epicondylitis
In a perpetually sunny town like Los Angeles, people can play tennis year round. Many clients in my Los Angeles, Beverly Hills and West Hollywood chiropractic office do just that—they are rarely stopped by rain. But they can be stopped short in their enjoyment of tennis by a condition called tennis elbow. Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, […]
How Knee Pain is Surprisingly Often Caused by Foot Deformity
I’ve got flat feet; some call it fallen arches, but the most accurate term for my actual foot dysfunction is overpronation. Let me explain: While it is true that my arches collapse under the weight of my body when I step down on the ground, giving my feet a flat appearance, it is because of […]
Pain Free Scoliosis: How to Have Your Back Evaluated and Treated for Scoliosis
In a career spanning twenty-two years of practice and fifteen years typing away at the keyboard, I am shocked to realize that I have never written a piece on scoliosis.

But I […]
Chiropractic is the Ultimate to Beat Whiplash Neck Pain Now
As we enter a new era, one more dependent on technology than ever, injuries we sustain can take on a new level of disability.

Why Does It Hurt So Badly When I Breathe? And How To Fix It…
“It hurts to breathe.” Have you ever said these words? Did you mean them literally, or were you trying to say that you carried out something grueling, like an ass-kicking workout, or that you worked your third restaurant shift in a row, or even after you were injured from a fall or car crash? Sometimes […]
When Shoulder Pain Is Not From The Shoulder
Sometimes the pain you feel comes from an area other than where it hurts. Sometimes the problem is caused by an adjacent tissue, and others times from a distant, seemingly unrelated structure. As a chiropractic doctor who works with people suffering from many kinds of pain, I am grateful when I can recreate a client’s […]
Return to Exercise Best When Done Gradually
Have you shed your Covid-15 yet? Those fifteen pounds just about everybody has put on; have you started burning it or are you waiting for the new year? Whether you go back to the mat at home or take it to the gym, whether to slay the Covid-15 or to grunt out knee rehab, the […]
How To Treat Auto Accident Headaches
Auto accidents are more common than we would like to admit. The average driver, and that’s probably you, has a greater chance of getting into a car crash on a 1,000 mile trip (1 in 366). than a professional bowler has in bowling a perfect game (1 in 460). While auto accident fatalities appear as […]
