Los Angeles Chiropractor, Dr. Phil Ricchiazzi of Health Works, has been delivering quality chiropractic care to the Los Angeles, Los Feliz, and Hollywood residents since May 2005.

Our practice is unique because we blend chiropractic care with nutrition, stress management along with ergonomic and postural evaluations to give you the best possible results.

At Health Works, we use one of the most popular low force chiropractic techniques in the world. We begin by analyzing how well your spine moves. We test how well you turn and bend. This simple procedure can reveal significant differences in leg lengths. This time-​tested protocol tells us if subluxations exist and their location. It also helps us know when to adjust and when not to adjust. We use The Activator Methods® Adjusting Instrument, which is a handheld spring-​loaded tool that delivers a consistent low-​force, high-​speed thrust. After your adjustment, we retest to

History

Established in 2005.

My first office was in The Thatcher Medical Building in Pasadena. When I was a kid my doctor was in the building and I always thought it was a great location to open my practice. When you walk into my office I want you to feel comfortable, at ease, and know that you have come to the right place. I have dedicated myself to continuing education and staying up to date on the most current and effective techniques. That is why I decided to become advanced rated in Activator Technique.

My practice is unique because we blend chiropractic care with nutrition, stress management along with ergonomic and postural evaluations to give you the best possible results. Our practice does not focus solely on pain management, but provides you with the tools and tips for lasting health, and gives the patient control over their own progress. My hope for our generation and future generations to come is that patients realize they have the power to treat themselves through maintenance and prevention.

Business Owner

During college I did extensive research in the area of Brain Physiology & Anatomy. I eventually started teaching about the brain and the nervous system. After college I went to work at USC Medical School in the Department of Neurology doing research on Multiple Sclerosis. While working at USC I was looking for a way to combine my love for the nervous system and teach people about their body, nutrition and how to live a healthier life. It finally hit me when talking to my chiropractor that chiropractic did all of that and more. I enrolled at Cleveland Chiropractic College. During my time there my courses included biochemistry, a major emphasis on anatomy and human physiology, X-​ray, diagnosis, chiropractic adjusting techniques and patient care. It really was everything I wanted. I graduated Summa Cum Laude. I am an Advanced Certified in Activator Technique.
