Guru Chiropractic

Making the appointment was easy and the receptionist was friendly, yet efficient. My massage was excellent. Judy addressed my areas of concern which had been bothering me for weeks. I felt good when I left, but I felt even better the following day. I was pleasantly surprised to realize the stiffness and nagging pain were greatly reduced. I will definitely return!

I was very pleased with all services from Guru — from the very helpful receptionist to the extremely knowledgeable chiropractor and the most incredible massage by Judy. I tried Guru with a Groupon and have returned for more visits. Also bought gift certificates for massages! They offer very reasonable post Groupon deals! Great experience!

Saw an amazing deal on Groupon, decided to try it out. Website recommends 24 hours for an appointment, but I called at noon and was able to get a session at 3, really nice. People were very friendly and helpful. They played calming ambient sounds, and the oils they used were soothing and smelled nice.
Dr. Laurent Rubens was my chiropractor, felt very comfortable having him work on my next and spine. Gave me some good advice and stretches to help with my shoulders from working in front of a computer all the time.
Judy was the one who gave me a massage. She was very accommodating, being sure to ask if she was pressing too hard or what areas I would like focused on.
Overall I had a great experience. Definitely recommend it if you have the need.

Excellent
Everything is great specially Judy ‘s massage.
She is so polite, expert and professional. I had a massage with her yesterday and it was the best massage that I have had in my life.
I highly recommended going there and getting Judy massage.

I woke up with a pain in my neck that lasted a few days. On the third day, I called up Guru Chiropractic for a last minute massage appointment with Summer. I explained the pain I was having and she paid special attention to that area. I felt sooo much better that night and almost 100% better the next day. She helped my neck immensely, and I was really sick of the pain. Thanks, Summer!

I came in some time last week with a groupon and had an excellent experience. I saw dr. Gulik first and he was able to relieve some tension in my neck for me which felt great! After the consultation was over he introduced me to my massage therapist her name was Summer. She gave me one of the best massages I’ve ever had! She truly cares about her patients to make sure they are comfortable and gets all the aches and pains out! I will be returning when I have free time. Thank you so much!

staff is always so welcoming, office manager got me in to see Dr Rubens when Dr Gulick was off and needed to be adjusted asap. Massage therapists are also amazing, Ask for Summer!

ok guys this is an update of my previous review. Dr. Rubens from Guru Chiropractic had offered me a complimentary massage in lieu of my bad experience. My massage therapist was Tanya and she was amazing. She massaged like a pro and was very professional asked me the problem areas and worked on it. Ohh Man… wat a great experience this time. I will definitely go there again wand would like to have massage from Tanya

I really needed a massage after falling off my back. I already have a herniated disc and other pain in my back. I went on Groupon and found guru chiropractic and thought I give this place a try since the reviews were good.
The receptionist was really nice and was able to get me an appointment. I came in and got a really goooood massage from Judy. She asked me where I want her to focus on. I told her about my problem and got to it.
*I’ve had some massges before. but this was my first time getting a massage with no gown on. It didn’t really matter but it just letting you people know in advance.
I wanted her to focus more on my back but she did my whole body. It felt good tho.
After the massage I went outside. The man in the front desk said I was good to go. I asked if I have the cosultation/​exam (which is included with the groupon) but he said I was done with everything… –_​-​. I wanted the posture evaluation and exam so I can grt some help on how to fix my back problem which has been going on for years.
I’m guessing they only do massages if you have a Groupon… will I come back? I’m not sure. maybe.

Hello World,
I’m Jay. I create music. I moved to LA upon getting my big new fancy job and in the process was in a pretty serious car accident. I have both health insurance and PIP insurance but because California has never heard of nationwide PIP insurance, I found myself unable to get treatment unless I was paying for it cash. I called Dr. Rubens and Guru Chiropractic at 530pm after a day of painfully unsuccessful searching and they most graciously accepted my last minute appointment. Dr. Rubens and his staff are amazing. His front desk staff are inviting, and cordial. They are great about calling you to remind me of my appointments.
His massage staff are equally great. Judie and Tonya are just amazing. Very different massage styles but both are equally great.
I can’t recommend them enough! It’s been such a great experience. Anytime I need a massage or chiro work, this is the only place I’ll go.
Jay

Ms. Judy, the massage therapist, is knowledgable and caring — my massage was customized and she paid extra attention to the areas on my back and neck that needed the extra attention. Before attending the session, my neck was so stiff that I could barely move my head around. After the massage, I felt almost 100% better. Judy is amazing!
Booking the appointment was easy and the receptionist was friendly.
Punctual, professional, knowledgable and friendly — now that’s what I’m talking about.

Wow! Even though I went in with a Groupon, I received stellar treatment… From the ease of making an appointment to getting called in quickly and getting nearly a full 50-​minute massage followed by a rather detailed consultation with Dr. Gulick, I truly was wowed. Tonya gave me the absolutely strongest deep tissue massage I have ever gotten – to the point of enough pain I almost told her to lighten up (but, no pain, no gain, right?). And, she even asked me at the end if I felt better. After she finished, I went back out to the waiting room, expecting that they forgot my Groupon also included an exam and consultation. But, nope, the receptionist told me to wait another minute to be seen by the good doctor. In just a minute, I was called back in and Dr. Gulick asked my main problem (s) and offered suggestions to help overcome it (with a very yogi, doctor of osteopathy approach). He mentioned he could help me, too, if I continued to come back, but in no way pressured me to do so.
Bottom line: If you want a true deep tissue massage and a caring, holistic (somewhat hippie) chiropractor, this is the place for you!

I came here on a Groupon. This was my first time getting a massage & exam. The chiropractor was so nice & taught me a lot about his specialty & my body. He even gave me a daily exercise I could do to help my posture and strength.
Everyone in the building was really nice. They have relaxing music playing through the entire building. It was very easy to find & there was free 2 hour parking right outside.
My masseuse was Summer. She was cool. & asked me how I liked my massage pressure & basically got all my knots out. One thing I will say though is, if you’re a self conscious person about your body or someone who is really weird about personal space, be prepared to deal with that once you get here. I didn’t feel weird at all but I can imagine someone might who cares about things like that.
I had an overall good experience.

I went there on a groupon. Got an adjustment and a deep tissue massage. The adjustment was good. Lot of cracks, no pain. The massage was really good too. I got my massage from Tanya. I had a large knot in my back that Tanya was able to quickly pin point. She then asked if I wanted her to just focus on that knot. I was like, «hell yes!» There’s nothing worse than having pain in your back, and having somebody waist your time and money massaging your legs or something. Tanya focused on my knot like it was hers. After 30 minutes, she was able to work it out, and i feel much better. I would go back for sure.

Very good experience. Masseuse listened carefully as I told her where I felt stiff — neck and shoulders. She completely released my knots and relaxed my shoulders.
Very deep tissue. I will return!

Very professional, clean, and friendly. I love the fact that they offer massages before your adjustment! And my insurance covers it! Win-​win for me! Just wish they were open on Saturdays.

My Sister is a Chiropractor in Texas so when I say Dr. Rubans is amazing I know what I’m talking about. I have been to many Chiropractors all over La and most don’t know what they are doing. Having everything adjusted is just bad. the only stuff that should be moved is the stuff out of place. you would think this is common sense, but its not in la. I have been going here for over a year now and I would never go to another place. I also get massages here too and they are all ways great. But above that it is very affordable for a struggling actor like my self. For how good he is, he should be charging a lot more, but being the amazing human he is, he is more worried about helping people feel better then making loads of money.
If it was out of ten stars I would give him a 10.

Now I know why getting a massage and chiropractor is an investment!
I had my first professional massage and second chiropractic treatment in my life today and it was FANTASTIC! Booking my appointment over the phone was a breeze. The receptionist, massage therapist, and chiropractor were all very professional, warm, and great. I could tell my massage therapist (Ms. Judy) and chiropractor (Dr. Gulick) were both really passionate and knowledgeable about their field.
Judy did a fantastic deep tissue all over body massage (55 minute long) with lotion. Before we started, She asked me what my concerns were and where I would like to focus. I’ve been super stressed out lately and had all these knots up on my back and neck area! She was very attentive and gave a very strong massage which I desperately needed! Since this was my first massage, I was a bit apprehensive but that quickly disappeared as Judy made me very comfortable in my skin.
After my amazing massage, I only waited a few minutes to see the Dr. Gulick for a consultation and chiropractic session. Dr. Gulick immediately pinpointed the problem areas in my body and showed me using models how it could effect me in the long run. He seemed very knowledgeable and passionate in his work. I could feel the immediate relief from my body from the adjustments. I wasn’t nervous at all because he was talking about all sorts of interesting things! He also gave me some great tips on how to improve my posture. FYI He also teaches Yoga on the side! His talking speed is a bit fast so it may seem like he’s rushing but it’s just because he’s very passionate about the subject, and wants to get as much info/​value to you as possible. You can always ask him to clarify any point.
Other pluses:
+ Great receptionist /​service
+ REFRESHING ice cold mint/​lemon water! (I was very excited about this!)
+ Light relaxing music playing in the background
+ Massages are done in private rooms
You can park on the street ($ 1 per hour /​max 2 hours) or in the back. I used a Groupon but I would definitely come back without one! The prices are very reasonable for returning guests: $ 39 per hour massage or chiropractic session or $ 79 for both.

I went in for a massage and exam today (got a groupon!) and had a pretty good experience. My massage from Judy was great — I was so relaxed I think I fell asleep during the foot massage! Whoops :)
Had to wait a bit for to see the chiropractor, but he was very thorough and gave me tips and exercises on how to fix my bad posture. Got my neck and back cracked and immediately felt an improvement.
Overall a nice place, although I have to say the office didn’t blow me away. They actually had to cancel my first appointment because of lack of staff that day. Small, but comfortable — don’t expect a luxury spa and you’ll be fine.

The Chiropractic portion of my visit was good. The doctor was nice, informative and made my neck feel better. The massage portion was not good. It was very weak, ineffective and felt like a bored girlfriend forced into massaging you while her favorite show was on…
Dr. Rubens takes pride in his work and offered to rectify the massage portion of my visit. My massage experience is just my own opinion, I have seen many fine reviews of massages from here and I hope you have one of those if you go. The massage experience could have been a fluke of some sort, maybe a off day for the therapist, but what is for sure, is that Dr. Rubens made my neck feel better and that he wants you to have a good therapeutic experience.
