Arthritis and joint pain care in Santa Monica.
Gentle, drug-free care for mobility and comfort, aimed at better function, balance and lasting results.
The approach
Care for arthritis and joint pain here is gentle and drug-free, and the aim is stated plainly on our services page: better function, balance and lasting results.
Alongside joint pain, the practice also treats scoliosis, posture problems and neck pain — complaints that frequently travel together, because a joint that has become painful is usually being compensated for somewhere else.
Our techniques
Treatment draws on the same four approaches used across the practice: spinal correction to restore alignment, non-force manipulation for acute or sensitive cases, decompression to relieve pressure on discs and nerves, and rehabilitation exercises to rebuild strength and mobility.
Which combination is appropriate depends entirely on the examination — which is why the first visit begins with history and assessment rather than treatment.
