Chiropractic Santa Monica

Four local chiropractors in the Santa Monica area have teamed up in an effort to better serve people in the beach communities of Santa Monica, Malibu, Venice, Marina del Rey, and surrounding areas.

Doctors Michael Dorausch, Luke Cohen, Ken Gee Ehrlich, and Brandon Takahashi have continued an organized effort to see that members of the community are getting the best chiropractic services possible.

The Santa Monica area gets a heavy amount of automobile traffic and it can significantly affect one’s ability to not only get to the chiropractor’s office, but to get around town, get to work, the gym, or nearest Starbucks.

All four doctors are chiropractic patients themselves and they discovered that trying to get across town during busy hours can become a serious pain in the neck. The group decided to do something that is virtually unheard of, especially in a field that can be so competitive. They decided in order to best serve people in the community they would make patients aware of the other three doctors in the area so that patients had the choice not to drive so far if that was an issue for them in getting chiropractic care.

So far the service has been working terrific for the patient’s as well as the doctors. Dr. Luke Cohen, a Pacific Palisades chiropractor, has referred a number of patients to Dr. Dorausch, who is the one practicing the furthest south, he is a Marina del Rey chiropractor. Dr. Cohen made the referrals in each case after patients made comments about traffic getting to the Palisades area from where they lived or worked in Westchester, El Segundo, or other local areas. What has happened as a result is that Dr. Dorausch ended up referring a number of new and several existing patients, most of whom were living in the Malibu or Thousand Oaks area, to Dr. Cohen’s office.

The other doctors have been having similar experiences. Together, the group has found that they’ve actually been able to take care of more people more efficiently than they would have without communicating with each other. About the group effort, Dr. Mike Dorausch said “you cannot out give the giver.” Dr. Dorausch went on to say “there are many people in the Los Angeles area seeking good chiropractors, and all four of us have shared that experience at one time or another. These are the doctors we use when we are seeking chiropractic care for ourselves or our family members. I am totally confident and comfortable referring to any of these three chiropractors, they are the best in the area.”

Dr. Brandon Takahashi, a West Los Angeles chiropractor, is a graduate of Los Angeles Chiropractic College. He lives in the Brentwood area and practices in West Los Angeles, on 11340 W. Olympic Blvd. Drs. Ken Gee Ehrlich, Luke Cohen and Michael Dorausch are each graduates of Cleveland Chiropractic College (the Los Angeles campus). Dr. Ehrlich lives in Playa del Rey and practices at 11945 Santa Monica Boulevard in West LA.

Growing up in the Palisades and Santa Monica I always stayed active skateboarding, surfing, and playing sports. At the age of seven I started to develop a painful limp and suffered from migraines that almost completely disabled me from my daily activities. Eventually I saw my doctor. The tests and x-rays led to medications that did not work. As the years passed, my condition worsened. I got sick frequently, and was put on different antibiotics which became a downward spiral leading to more antibiotics. My vision became weak and I eventually ended up needing glasses. “I always thought, there had to be something I could do.” As I had almost given up hope, a friend suggested that I go to a chiropractor. At first I was slightly hesitant; however I was desperate for a solution so I decided to go. The adjustment gave me immediate relief. The chiropractor explained to me that my body had been out of balance and was pinching my nerves causing the problem. After I completed my care I no longer had headaches, back pain, a painful limp, and didn’t get sick. After a few more months of care my eyesight improved and I stopped wearing glasses.

Now for the photo (we’ll post it soon)… These are my patients Alex and John. Both of these boys came to me not hearing well, not speaking well or pronouncing their words correctly due to chronic ear infections. The combination of all these factors caused them to struggle in school. They came to my office seeking help. Last winter was the first winter they boys did not get sick. They both are doing excellently in school and have their lives in front of them. As a doctor there is nothing more rewarding than being able to assist people in overcoming there health obstacles, and getting their lives back.

From the Third Street Promenade to Brentwood to Culver City and the hills of Malibu, local chiropractors have teamed up to educate the coastal community about the importance of regular chiropractic care for a healthy spine and body.

In Marina del Rey, Dr. Michael Dorausch has been educating his patients on topics related to good spinal health, proper posture, good nutrition, and maintaining a positive attitude.

Did you know that nerves from the spine at the level of you upper back (2nd thoracic vertebra) go to your heart? How would your heart be effected if those nerves did not function properly? What sorts of functional problems would occur if the transmission from the brain to ther heart was disrupted at the area where the nerves exit the spine? As you sit at your computer, leaning forward and creating added stress and pressure upon your upper spinal vertebra, what sort of symptoms may arise?

Are you taking care of your heart? You may be eating well, getting regular exercise, and reducing stress levels, but you can do ore. Are you getting your spine checked on a regular basis to make sure your body is functioning at an optimal level? Your chiropractor wants you to be healthy, happy, and feeling terrific!
