West Los Angeles Physical Therapyhas been at this location since 1992, conveniently located near the 10 and 405 freeways, and is regarded as one of the most respected offices in the city. From the time I graduated UCLA, I have committed thousands of hours helping people out of pain and into a better, healthier lifestyles. While attending UCLA, I was able to work with the prestigious track and football teams in biomechanics and graduated with a background in Kinesiology. I've worked with NBA coaches, players, and agents for years.

I specialize in helping patients with lower back, hip pain, leg pain, accidents, and sports-related injuries. My deep understanding and intense interest have allowed me to have tremendous success with accident-related and disc-related injuries.
Spinal Decompression is one of the fastest growing treatments in response to the publics desperate need for a non-surgical spinal solution to severe and life changing back problems. As opposed to traction, which can increase intradiscal pressure and therefore aggravate a protruded, herniated, bulging, and/or extruded disc, spinal decompression has been shown to lower intradiscal pressure by applying axial decompression to the disc level using a logarithmic time force curve bypassing the muscle guarding reflex, thus reducing the disc pressure towards a negative level (American Chiropractor, March 2008). By doing this, it is believed that the disc lesion irritating the nerve root is pulled off the nerve, thus reducing nerve irritation and the pain and muscle spasm that's responding to the sharp, knife-like nerve irritation to begin with.
