Santa Monica area chiropractors wish you happy summer

Monday, July 9th, 2007

Chiropractors in the Santa Monica area wish you a happy, healthy, and safe summer. This time of year activities in the beach areas of Southern California pick up considerably. There is a great increase in traffic on places such as Lincoln Boulevard, PCH highway, and nearly every Street along the beach in Santa Monica and Venice.

For those of you driving in the area, be extra careful and watch out for pedestrians, persons on skateboards, bicyclists, and riders zigzagging in and out of traffic on motorcycles.

Venice beach bike path

The beach is a great place to be this summer. There are lots of volleyball events, with many courts right here in Santa Monica at the end of ocean Park Blvd. There is some good surf, miles of open sand to run on, throw frisbees on, play football on, or kick around a soccer ball.

The bike path in this area runs south from to Temsecal Canyon, in the Palisades area, along the beach in Santa Monica, through Venice beach, and into Marina del Rey.

Expect to see large amounts people on the bike path during the weekends all summer long. It’s a great idea to always wear a bike helmet, especially if you’re not just going along for a leisurely ride on a beach cruiser. Watch out for kids and tourists crossing in the bike lanes, as they often don’t know they are there and they frequently stop dead in their tracks when noticing bicycles coming from an opposite direction.

Don’t wait till your weekend warrior self is totally wiped out. Go see your local chiropractor before you head out to the beach and make sure your nervous system is functioning in its most optimal state. Neighborhood chiropractors are listed on this page. Have a spectacular summer!

Los Angeles Chiropractic Video Getting Adjusted

Friday, May 25th, 2007

Here is a brief video of a young woman receiving a chiropractic adjustment in a Marina del Rey chiropractic office. Video was filmed at ADIO Chiropractic which is located on Culver Blvd, just a block East of the 90 Fwy and a few blocks West of Centinela Blvd.

Check out the video and when you visit the office tell them you saw it online!

Westside Chiropractors with Hands on Experience

Monday, May 7th, 2007

Quite frequently new people coming to my Los Angeles chiropractic office tell me they never reeived an adjustment at the last chiropractic office they went to.

The story typically goes like this… person went to the office, staff put hot-packs or cold packs on them, maybe some electrodes, a roll on a therapy table, and maybe a brief visit from the chiropractor, but never an adjustment.

That may seem really odd to someone who has been going to chiropractors for years, receiving regular chiropractic care on each visit, but it’s not as uncommon as one may think.

I spoke with other West Los Angeles chiropractors and it turns out they have had similar experiences. In all cases the people that came to the office were delighted to actually get hands on care from a Doctor of Chiropractic. They did not get layed on some overpriced spinal decompression unit or stuck in a room with electrodes and heat packs.

Chiropractors that I know of on the Westside in the Los Angeles area that will adjust your spine include Drs. Brandon Takahashi at Takahashi Chiropractic, Luke Cohen at Innate Chiropractic Center in Pacific Palisades, Don Trepany at Trepany Chiropractic, Rob Bates at Bates Chiropractic (Manhatten Beach), Donna and Dominique Scott of Life Chiropractic, Ken Gee Erlich at Good Chiropractor, and myself, Michael Dorausch at ADIO Chiropractic (Marina del Rey).

I have received chiropractic adjustments from nearly all the doctors mentioned above (besides myself) and I can say they are all talented chiropractors with great skill.
