Innate Wellness

Dr. Luke is one of the most generous, compassionate and TALENTED chiropractor I’ve ever been too. He is especially gifted in taking care of neck issues. I love how fast he is as well. I almost always get to walk in last minute if needed and I’ve even seen him give dogs some chiropractic attention in need of adjustment with his little adjustment gun. He is truly looking out for every patient, human and furry alike. :)

I have had back problems ever since I can remember. Dr. Russell is an absolute miracle. After just a few alignments I instantly felt better. About two weeks later all the usual pains were nonexistent!!! He really knows his techniques and I highly recommend him. I will stay a loyal client to him for as long as he practices.

I have been a patient with Innate for just over a year and in that time Dr. Cohen has been able to correct and fix issues that my other Chiropractors over the last 20 years never even attempted. Dr. Cohen is one of the most knowledgeable Chiropractors I have ever been treated by and I trust him completely, recommending him with the highest regard.
In addition to the awesome Dr. the girls in the office are really helpful and super friendly.

I’m so grateful for Dr. Russell! He’s been treating my 23 year old son and even my 80 year old Mom. And I come in all the time for minor and not so minor adjustments. I even got my jaw adjusted after a recent wrong move. Unbelievable! It’s so wonderful to have this gem in our neighborhood to take care of any discomfort! The office is efficient and very professional too!

As a yoga teacher for over 20 years I have subjected my body to all of the good and some of the bad that comes along with being hyper mobile. Dr Luke Cohen has NEVER failed to fix me when I have had pain, discomfort or any general issues. He’s truly amazing at his craft and if you are even thinking about seeing a chiropractor I have to say, don’t hesitate! Dr Luke and his staff are friendly, the office is lovely and most of all his care of his patients is exceptional. I am a firm believer in any guidance he has given me over the years.

Until I found Dr. Luke Cohen, I was a sporadic user of chiropractic healing, even though some of my earliest memories are of my tiny bones getting gently adjusted as a toddler. I didn’t consider it a priority, though, until I got in a minor car accident, getting hit from behind by a well-​meaning, inexperienced young man (who was fixing to take a job as a delivery driver and begged me not to go through insurance).
Right after getting hit, I called Innate Chiropractic, which is in my neighborhood, and they took me right away. Dr Luke helped me recover from that accident, using an excellent «table-​side manner» and the latest technological assessments of my situation.
Before then, I had not used chiropractic for many years. I had allowed my posture to deteriorate, and I would suffer from periodic back spasms, especially in the lower back, due to a very stressful series of desk jobs. Dr Luke has changed the course of my life through regular adjustments. He has also helped me with my posture, giving me easy exercises that I’ve actually been able to remember to do.

I went in with really bad back pain and I had no idea how it happened. Dr. Luke did an amazing job with the adjustments and he taught how to keep my back strong and healthy. Through his clever techniques we were also able to determine the cause of my back pain.

A real find… clean professional efficient office; Dr. is superb– VERY thorough and articulate in delivery; staff great; mascot dog cute ;)= great results!

Dr. Luke is awesome. He has helped my neck and back pain really improve over the past 6 months. I haven’t had a migraine or unbearable neck pain since I started seeing him. He gives his clients some physical therapy pointers and the pillows he offers are incredible. I highly recommend him.

I injured my back in a bicycle accident and was suffering for many months while I went from one chiropractor to another with little result. A friend recommended Dr. Luke to me. He has helped me considerably and I am now back to a full exercise schedule and activities. I recommend him to friends and family of all ages.

I’m not one to easily hand out a 5 star rating, but this is just one of those times where I have to express how wonderful this place is.
I first met Dr. Luke at what I think was the Village Fair in Pacific Palisades where he had a booth set up. My uncle had just become a patient of his and would not stop talking about how amazing he felt after a few treatments, etc., and how we should head over, say hi and introduce ourselves. I was a convert to his treatment Day 1.
Now, I could go on with the problems I had and what I continue to work on (knee pain, neck pain from a car accident, migraines) but I really just want to focus on what I think is the best part about being a patient of Dr. Luke: He cares. He’s not some physician that will spend 5 minutes with you and then forget about you the minute he/​she walks out the door. Quite the opposite. I’ve always felt that when I have visited, he wants to really make sure that whatever is going on can be alleviated in some way. He always explains to me what’s specifically occurring and not using vague phrases like «You’re suffering from back pain,» but will say what’s causing it. I always appreciate this because I greatly dislike it when Doctor’s do not explain things to me, it’s my body I think I have a right to know!
I know that there are skeptics out there to chiropractic care, and I’m not here to try and convert you (well, maybe a little…). All I will say is that since I have been seeing Dr. Luke, I feel stronger, am not in pain, and I have a Doctor who cares. Nothing better than that.

I’m not a person who has had severe trouble and been miraculously helped. From time to time, I have felt neck and lower back pain, especially since my lazy ass is seated in front of a computer 9 hours a day. My wife on the other hand, is a chiropractic connoisseur and has visited several dozen since we have been married. So, I’ve been more of a tag along, and did not start to go it until she found one she liked in Florida a few years ago.
My first experience in Florida was extremely positive and shed a light on the profession. The Dr. took the time to do a thorough exam and not only educate patients on their current situation (he had a group meeting after hours), but the medical profession as a whole and how chiropractic treatment can help in a far less invasive manner. Having been an advocate of holistic treatment for decades, I loved the approach, and of course, the fact that it has immensely helped my wife. The Dr. in Florida was the best in the area. His office was always slam-​packed, and usually up to an hour wait, even with an appointment.
After moving to California, I stopped chiropractic treatment for nearly a year, while my wife continued to visit a few of them, but never to return to one for more than 2 visits.
After a referral from someone in Santa Monica, we were told to try Dr. Luke. So, we made the 20 or so minute drive and my wife was impressed. I waited several months to inquire about treatment for myself, and in between, Dr. Luke provided one or two free adjustments while I was there.
Although subtle, the benefits I received in Florida quickly returned once I became a regular patient of Dr. Luke. Less brain fog, and rarely any lower back or neck pain.
Recently, I endured an 8 hour trip in a middle seat of the plane that left me in extreme discomfort. A visit to Dr. Luke quickly resolved that.
Occasionally, I get lower back and neck pain from being in front of the computer and other office work requiring constant bending up and down. When it happens, it’s also resolved with my regularly scheduled appointment.
What’s more important than what you personally can see and feel, is what you can’t. After Dr. Luke took films and explained where I stand as far as curvature of the spine and degenerative disease, I was eager to re-​start treatment. After all, if you know you are on an early path to what could be degenerative or crippling disease, who wouldn’t want their back cracked once or twice a week to prevent expensive surgery and extreme discomfort later in life?
The bottom line is that if you are experiencing pain, chiropractic treatment can help and Dr. Luke is awesome. If you aren’t, you should go anyway. You will notice subtle differences and quite possibility prevent a future disaster.
He gets 5 stars because:
#1) Extremely professional, quick, and friendly. Both from Dr. Luke and the front desk.
#2) Based on my wife’s experience: She had to sift through a few dozen practitioners in Santa Monica, and Dr. Luke was finally able to alleviate her symptoms with success. I have been going since Dec 2010 and have found subtle differences that will add up big in the long run, including improved posture.
#3) At Dr. Luke’s office, you just walk right into the treatment room and you are ready to go. The Dr’s in Florida had a separate room before the treatment room. You had to go in there, change into a robe, then go into the treatment room, then change back when you were done. Slow folks ahead of you can cause a backlog, and that’s probably why there was an hour wait over there. Here, you’re in and out of the office in 15 minutes 99% of the time.
#4) Dr. Luke is also well-​educated in holistic treatment overall and educates his patients.
#5) I am aware that several chiropractic schools of thought exist (Gonstead being the one the Dr in Florida used, not sure what Dr. Luke does, but it works even better). This may explain why some Dr’s are of little help and Dr. Luke is at the other end of the spectrum for many people.

I was just logging on to get the URL for Dr. Luke’s Unilocal page to refer a friend who needs a chiropractor, and noticed that somehow all his reviews have been filtered away. I was able to still read them by clicking on «Read Filtered Reviews» below his business profile… and they are all 5-​star fantastic reviews (including mine from a couple months ago). Wow… this is a major fail on Unilocal’s part. It’s sad to think that all the people that Dr. Luke has truly helped aren’t able to communicate it on the main page. Maybe Unilocal doesn’t believe that someone can truly have that high of a satisfaction rate. But I am positive that Dr. Luke honestly does.
My husband and I both have seen Dr. Luke for *years*. He has always been so amazing in his ability to dial in on the underlying cause of our pain or discomfort, and make adjustments that get us back on the road to health. I highly recommend Dr. Luke. He is a model of perfection in the chiropractic field, and an incredibly caring person.

I have been seeing Dr. Cohen for years. He is very professional, knowledgable and informative about your care. The office staff is very kind and it’s easy to make an appointment. He has state of the art equipment and the office is very clean with lots of information to read through. I highly recommend that if you need a chiropractor, you see Dr. Cohen!

I was fortunate to be recommended to this chiropractor about a year ago.
Having worked with several over my lifetime, I have become accustomed
to certain observational qualities they can take on and Mr Cohen is in the top list .
From gentle adjustments, to a more agressive approach, Luke has been excellent at listening to me, and working with my physical self to bring about a more robust energy in my life.
To me this is a intuitive relationship you should be looking for, as all chiropractors have training, but that does not mean, it comes naturally to them.
With any given art, healing is is really on a multifaceted level.
I am very pleased with my guidance, and resulting physical well being.
Looking for some one to work with you, then I think you should book a appointment.
A great office staff, is a blessing too.
