Chiropractic Santa Monica

Other Top Chiropractors We Recommend

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

As chiropractors, we are often being asked who we would go to if we were traveling, lived in another state, needed a referral for a friend or family member in a California city (other than Santa Monica), or were attending a conference and were seeking an adjustment.

Our Brentwood chiropractor Dr. Ken Gee Ehrlich said he recently made a referral to Dr. Joel Taatjes (Redwood Chiropractic) who practices in Petaluma. He had some friends that were heading towards northern California for a week of snowboarding and they were seeking someone in Dr. Joel’s area. Ehrlich said he knows Dr. Joel from attending continuing education conferences and mentioned that he’s referred people to him in the past. He says Dr. Joel is a great chiropractor and he is even an avid snowboarder.

Mike Dorausch said his last long distance referral was made to Dr. Kathy McAuliffe who is a Columbia chiropractor practicing in Illinois. One of his former BMX pros moved to the Columbia area (lots of space for building trails) and they were seeking someone who had significant experience. McAuliffe was recognized in 2007 as one of the nation’s five fantastic female chiropractors.

Dr. Luke Cohen (Pacific Palisades and Malibu area) said that he’s made a number of referrals to Dr. Adam Church in the town of East Haven Connecticut. Cohen said that while traveling earlier in 2007, he met a number of rugby players from the Connecticut area. When they found that he was a chiropractor they began asking him questions about injuries, performance and increasing playing time with chiropractic adjustments. Dr. Luke’s experience is a good example why it’s important to stay connected with chiropractors in different parts of the world.

Dr. Brandon Takahashi of West Los Angeles said he made a whopping seven referrals to chiropractors in different parts of the United States in the past week. One was for someone in Florida, another was in San Diego, a third was in Lancaster (California not Pennsylvania), and three referrals were for a family that moved from the West LA area to Sacramento. He said that family was referred to Dr. Jeri Anderson who practices at Capitol chiropractic in Sacramento.

Dr. Brandon says he still likes the old-fashioned method of holding onto colleagues business cards that he gets at conferences and seminars. He said that he also collects cards that are brought to him by new patients in case the opportunity ever comes up to pay forward on a referral that he’s received.

Be sure to include regular chiropractic care into your healthy lifestyle!

Local chiropractors work together

Friday, January 12th, 2007

It’s great when small groups of people work together to serve others.

You may think that a chiropractor in Santa Monica or the Los Angeles area would not be likely to work with other chiropractors in the community. The reality is that nearly all the chiropractors I know in the Los Angeles are get chiropractic care themselves, get chiropractic care for their families, and they use the services of others.

Choosing a chiropractor should not be a difficult task, you want to feel comfortable in your decision and want to feel you made the correct choice.

Some great chiropractors located on the west side include:

Dr. Brandon Takahashi of Takahashi Chiropractic which is in West Los Angeles
Dr. Luke Cohen of Innate Chiropractic Center whos office is in Pacific Palisades (they also see alot of folks from Thousand Oaks, Malibu, and Brentwood)
Dr. Ken Gee Ehrlich from the office of The Good Chiropractor, located in West Los Angeles
Dr. Michael Dorausch of ADIO Chiropractic, located in the 90066 area of Marina del Rey.

You should be able to get phone numbers for all the chiropractors mentioned above on the Los Angeles Chiropractors webpage. I believe all offices accept all PPO insurance plans and all offer x-ray services in house.

As always, have a healthy day!

Running the Santa Monica Pier

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007

I haved lived in Venice for several years now. When I first moved to the area I thought the distance between the Venice pier (at the end of Washington blvd.) and the Santa Monica pier (at the end of Colorado Blvd.) were miles apart.

Turns out they are miles apart but not as much as they may appear. Back in 2002 I got my first Garmin forerunner, a global GPS tracking device that is used for running and cycling. I began wearing my GPS while running between the piers so I could track my milage.

If you are running along the sand on the shoreline your roundtrip distance, beginning at the southmost pilons (cement poles) of the Santa Monica pier, and turning just under the Venice pier, you’ll total 5.7 miles, just a bit shy of a 10K run.

What is great about running from pier to pier is the fresh breeze comming of the water. You’ll see lot’s of people walking and running this route, especially during times of year (like now) when there are not so many tourists on the beach.

I’ll get a map posted and will add some data from my GPS to these pages so you can get a better idea of running in the area.

I have mapped out many 5K and 10K running maps in Venice, Marina del Rey, and Santa Monica so I may as well post them and make use of the info.

Remember, work hard, run hard, get adjusted!

Your local Los Angeles Chiropractor, Dr. Michael Dorausch
