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:

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).

Feel Your Best This Summer with Chiropractic Care at West Los Angeles Chiropractic®
Is pain holding you back from making the most of your summer? Chiropractic care can change that. That’s true whether you’re chasing kids at the beach, hiking a trail, or just sitting at your desk. At West Los Angeles Chiropractic®, we don’t just mask symptoms. Instead, we target the root cause of your pain using non-invasive techniques that work with your body’s natural physiology.
Why Chiropractic Care Works
When your spine is out of alignment, it places pressure on nearby nerves, muscles, and discs. As a result, that pressure can cause pain, inflammation, and limited movement. Our chiropractors restore proper spinal alignment through precise adjustments, which may:
🧠 For example, relieve pressure on the nervous system, supporting communication between your brain and body.
💪 Reduce inflammation by improving circulation and decreasing joint stress.
⚙️ Enhance joint mobility, so you can move more freely.
🔥 Support your body’s natural pain response.
🩻 Plus, help support better posture and biomechanics over time.
Summer Is the Perfect Time for the Whole Family to Get Adjusted
You might be a weekend warrior, a remote worker with neck tension, or a parent keeping up with the kids. Either way, we design our family-friendly care for every age. In fact, kids, adults, and seniors can all benefit from a healthy spine.
Our Services Include
✅ Chiropractic adjustments for back, neck, and joint pain.
✅ Non-surgical spinal decompression for disc issues and sciatica.
✅ Postural correction and ergonomic guidance.
✅ Personalized wellness plans for long-term results.
✅ New Patient Special: $99 (exam, digital X-rays, and first treatment).

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.

Quiropráctico Cerca de Mí en West Los Angeles: Alivio Rápido para el Dolor de Ciática y Espalda
Si está buscando un “quiropráctico cerca de mí” en West Los Angeles por dolor de ciática o dolor de espalda, la buena noticia es que el alivio rápido es posible — pero la clave está en tratar la causa, no solo el síntoma.
¿Por Qué Duele Tanto la Ciática?
El dolor de ciática baja desde la espalda baja hasta la pierna, y a veces hasta el pie. Ocurre cuando algo — generalmente un disco herniado o una vértebra desalineada — presiona el nervio ciático, el nervio más largo del cuerpo. El descanso y los antiinflamatorios pueden ayudar temporalmente, pero si la causa estructural sigue ahí, el dolor regresa.
Cómo Quitar el Dolor de Ciática Rápido
El primer paso real hacia el alivio es identificar exactamente qué está causando la presión sobre el nervio. En West Los Angeles Chiropractic®, el Dr. Michael Karr —graduado en Kinesiología de UCLA con más de 35 años tratando pacientes en West LA— toma radiografías digitales en su primera visita y las revisa personalmente el mismo día. Así usted sabe exactamente qué está pasando en su columna antes de comenzar cualquier tratamiento.
El tratamiento puede incluir:
Ajuste quiropráctico para aliviar la presión sobre el nervio
Terapia con láser frío para reducir la inflamación
En casos de disco herniado, Descompresión Espinal No Quirúrgica
Un Quiropráctico Cerca de Usted, en el Corazón de West LA
Atendemos a pacientes de West LA, Santa Monica, Brentwood, Beverly Hills, Culver City, Venice y Westwood. Nuestra oficina está en 11340 W. Olympic Blvd., Suite 165 — planta baja, estacionamiento gratuito, cerca de las autopistas 405 y 10. Abierto los sábados.

Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Pain: How Custom Orthotics Can Help in West LA
Plantar fasciitis causes sharp heel pain that’s often worst with your first steps in the morning, and it’s the most common cause of heel pain we see at West Los Angeles Chiropractic®. Custom Foot Levelers® orthotics — built from a digital X-ray of your pelvis and an impression of both feet — are designed to correct the underlying imbalance causing the pain.
What Is Plantar Fasciitis?
Also known as “heel pain syndrome,” plantar fasciitis develops from gradual degeneration of the plantar fascia or sudden trauma to the area. Patients often describe it as a sharp stab or deep ache in the middle of the heel or along the bottom of the foot, typically worse with walking or standing. Pain is frequently sharpest first thing in the morning or after long periods of sitting, since the fascia tightens overnight and can develop new micro-tears with those first steps.
What Causes It
Improper footwear
Strenuous activity
Obesity
Over-pronation
High arches or flat feet
Poor shock absorption in shoes
Plantar fasciitis is common in middle-aged patients but can affect anyone, and shows up often in runners, athletes, and anyone who spends long hours on their feet.
Symptoms
Pain on the bottom of the heel
Pain in the arch of the foot
Pain that’s usually worse upon arising
Pain that increases over time without treatment
Swelling on the bottom of the heel
A Note on Bone Spurs
Heel spurs are sometimes found alongside plantar fasciitis, but many cases of heel pain occur without one — a spur isn’t always the cause. Surgery to remove a spur doesn’t reliably resolve plantar fasciitis pain, and carries its own risk to the plantar fascia itself. A conservative approach is almost always the right place to start.
How We Treat Plantar Fasciitis at West Los Angeles Chiropractic®
In-office, treatment may include:
Chiropractic adjustments to restore normal joint mechanics and reduce tension
Custom Foot Levelers® orthotics to support the adjustment and hold proper foot position
Rehabilitative exercises
Dr. Michael Karr, a UCLA Kinesiology graduate treating West LA since 1989, takes a digital X-ray of your pelvis to measure hip height, along with an impression of both feet — these measurements are sent to the lab so your orthotics are built specifically for your body, not off a generic template.
At home:
Ice and massage the sore area
Favor soft surfaces for running or walking
Stretch the plantar fascia and calf regularly to help prevent further inflammation
Stretch: in a lunge position with the injured foot behind you and both heels flat on the floor, lean into a wall and bend your front knee. You should feel the stretch through the sole of your foot and into the Achilles tendon. Hold 20–30 seconds, then repeat with the back leg straight.
Recovery and Prevention
Recovery takes patience — most patients see steady improvement over several months with a consistent combination of the treatments above, rather than any single quick fix. Stretching before activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and wearing supportive footwear all help prevent recurrence. Wearing your custom orthotics in every pair of shoes goes a long way toward keeping you pain-free long-term.
Choosing the Right Shoes
Look for shoes with a square or wide toe box, a heel under two inches, about half an inch of space beyond your longest toe, and real arch support. Avoid high heels, stilettos, pointy toes, and flat, unsupported sandals — or if you must wear them, fit them with custom orthotics.
Insurance and Your First Visit
Many insurance plans cover the cost of custom orthotics — call Betty to verify your specific benefits before your visit. New patients: $99 for your first visit, including a consultation and exam.
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, Venice, and Westwood.
Call Betty: 310-914-9400
Frequently Asked Questions
What does plantar fasciitis feel like? A sharp stab or deep ache in the heel or arch, usually worst with your first steps in the morning or after sitting for a long time.
Are bone spurs the cause of my heel pain? Not necessarily — many cases of plantar fasciitis occur without a spur, and removing a spur surgically doesn’t reliably fix the pain.
Do custom orthotics really help? Custom Foot Levelers® orthotics are built from your own foot impressions and pelvis measurements, designed to correct the imbalance driving the pain rather than just cushioning it.
Will my insurance cover orthotics? Often, yes. Call Betty at 310-914-9400 and we’ll verify your specific coverage before your visit, at no cost to you.
How long does recovery take? It varies, but most patients see steady improvement over several months with consistent treatment and orthotic use.

좌골 신경통은 허리에서 시작해 다리까지 내려가는 통증으로, 좌골 신경이 눌릴 때 발생합니다. West Los Angeles Chiropractic®에서는 척추 교정과 필요한 경우 비수술적 척추 감압술을 통해 통증의 원인을 직접 치료합니다.
좌골 신경통이란 무엇인가요?
좌골 신경은 우리 몸에서 가장 긴 신경으로, 허리에서 엉덩이를 지나 다리까지 이어집니다. 디스크 탈출증(허리 디스크), 척추 부정렬, 또는 골극이 이 신경을 누르면 다리로 방사되는 날카로운 통증, 저림, 또는 무감각이 나타날 수 있습니다.
빠른 통증 완화를 위한 스트레칭
가벼운 스트레칭은 일시적으로 도움이 될 수 있지만, 근본 원인인 신경 압박을 해결하지는 못합니다. 통증이 반복된다면 정확한 진단과 척추 교정 치료가 필요할 수 있습니다.
척추 교정이 좌골 신경통에 도움이 되는 이유
West Los Angeles Chiropractic®의 Dr. Michael Karr는 UCLA 운동학(Kinesiology) 졸업생으로 1989년부터 West LA 지역 환자들을 치료해왔습니다. 첫 방문 시 디지털 X-레이를 촬영하고 직접 판독하여, 정확히 어떤 척추 레벨이 문제인지 확인한 후 치료를 시작합니다.
디스크 탈출증의 경우: 비수술적 척추 감압술
디스크가 원인인 경우, 척추 교정만으로는 충분하지 않을 수 있습니다. FDA 승인을 받은 DRX9000을 이용한 비수술적 척추 감압술은 디스크 내 음압을 형성하여 탈출된 디스크 물질을 신경에서 멀어지게 하고, 디스크 자체의 자연 치유를 돕도록 설계되었습니다. 28건의 임상 연구(이 중 20건은 동료 심사 저널에 게재)를 통해 뒷받침되는, 가장 많이 연구된 비수술적 척추 감압 기술입니다.
비수술적 척추 감압술은 모든 환자에게 적합한 것은 아니며, 후보 여부는 임상 평가를 통해 결정됩니다.

자주 묻는 질문
좌골 신경통에 좋은 스트레칭이 있나요? 가벼운 스트레칭은 일시적인 완화에 도움이 될 수 있지만, 디스크 탈출증이나 척추 부정렬 같은 근본 원인은 해결하지 못합니다.
좌골 신경통을 집에서 스스로 치료할 수 있나요? 가벼운 증상은 휴식과 스트레칭으로 완화될 수 있지만, 통증이 다리까지 방사되거나 저림, 무감각이 동반되면 전문적인 평가가 필요합니다.
척추 교정이 좌골 신경통에 효과가 있나요? 네. 2017년 미국내과학회(ACP) 진료 지침은 척추 조작을 요통의 1차 치료법으로 권장합니다.
비수술적 척추 감압술이란 무엇인가요? FDA 승인을 받은 DRX9000을 이용해 척추에 정밀한 견인력을 가하는 비침습적 치료법으로, 디스크의 자연 치유를 돕도록 설계되었습니다.
보험이 좌골 신경통 치료를 보장하나요? Medicare, 대부분의 PPO 보험, 산재보험, MedPay를 받습니다. 310-914-9400으로 Betty에게 전화하시면 방문 전에 보장 내용을 확인해 드립니다.
