Spinal & Health Center of Santa Monica

9÷8÷2012 UPDATE:
Okay, so I received a personal message from one of the doctors who explained the problem more thoroughly. She was kind enough to offer a complimentary massage and was sincere in her apology on behalf of the business. Way to go, Amazon.

Attempted to book an appointment for a massage from an Amazon local deal multiple times over several days without any response. Plus, the number given to call (a Google number) was different from the main business number, so they apparently couldn’t help me with scheduling – WTF? Gladly got a refund on this (mistake of a) deal.

I have been a patient of Dr. Ira Schneider (chiropractor) & Dr. LeRoy Griggs (acupuncture) for a long time… over 24 years! I can’t sing their praises enough. I have always trusted them over the years when I have needed some physical care. I have never had an appointment with either one of them that I didn’t leave feeling much, much better. They are both compassionate/​loving care givers with a true concern for their patients’ well-​being. You would definitely be in good hands!

I first became a client of The Spinal Health Center after I got a case of the stupids and started training for the LA Marathon without ever doing much running aside from being the chasee in the occasional foot chase.
I came in all jacked up and Dr Ira got me squared away right quick and have been coming back ever since.
What’s great about Dr. Ira is that he’s super knowledgeable and is an actual athlete (unlike a sporadic jock such as myself) so he really has a good understanding of the kinds of injuries and strains that are possible when someone exercises in random spurts.
Also, he really knows what’s up about injuries that aren’t sports related too. The last time I was in for an adjustment, Dr. Ira asked if anything else was acting up and I told him about the pain I’d been having in my left wrist. Took him about a second to diagnose the pain as a result of spending too much time at the keyboard and approximately 2.2 seconds after that he’d already done a quick adjustment and had me on my way with a new set of stretches to add to my list.
Ultimately, I think that’s why I like Dr. Ira so much. As much as he appreciates the business more than anything I really feel that he really strives for his clients to be pain free and his all for the proactive approach rather a reactive one.
