My back went out in May, and I was in a lot of pain. I originally discovered Dr. Sands while seeing Dr. Jason for acupuncture in the same office. What really stands out about Dr. Sands is how intentional and personalized his care is! A lot of chiropractors seem to follow a routine....crack, adjust, and send you on your way -- but that's not the case here. Every session feels truly healing. He takes the time to understand what my body needs that day and adjusts his approach accordingly. I've been going weekly since then, and I've been feeling my absolute best. The office is clean and welcoming, with convenient parking both in the back and on the street. I always leave feeling better and actually look forward to my visits because he has a vibrant aura. Highly recommend whether it's for long time adjustments to get you back to your normal self or monthly adjustments! read more

Just had to let all of Yelp know that Dr. Sands is THE BEST. Hurt my back at the gym and could barely sleep because of the pain, but Dr. Sands has me feeling like a person again. The office itself is spotless, and having a parking lot in back is so convenient. I always feel like a million bucks after seeing Dr. Sands. Not only is he the nicest guy ever but he is amazing at what he does. I hope I don't get injured again, but at least now I have a go to chiropractor if I do! read more

Dr Sands is great. My back was out ! So much pain and I could barely walk. He's got me upright and feeling good again

Dr. Sands is amazing. He's helped both my partner and I after a bad car acciedent and over worked computer issues. He's a wonderful caring person and gets you feeling better fast. read more

I started seeing Dr. Sands about 9 months ago. My nurse recommended him. I had a tingling sensation radiating down my arm to my fingers. I probably tweaked it while in dance class. I went at least once a week until the tingling was gone. Now, I go once a month. Whether I have an ailment that needs to be addressed or just to treat myself, I am so grateful to have found the capable hands of Dr. Sands. I had a migraine off and on the last couple of days. Time for a tune-up! Per usual, I feel a gazillion times better than when I walked in. If you are feeling out of alignment, if something is wrong with your spine, or if you're just feeling stressed and your shoulders are about to meet your ears, go see Dr. Sands. There's plenty of parking in the lot, the office is bright and clean, and making an appointment is a snap online. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Sands for a few months now for Degenerative Disc and back issues. I have been involved with athletics most of my life. Dr. Sands immediately made me comfortable in his presence, and he has been nothing short of a miracle worker with his techniques. Dr. Sands is a master at understanding the body, and best practices for healing. Could not recommend him more! read more

Dr. Sands is a godsend. I first met the doctor about a year ago due to an auto accident. During the first visit with Dr. Sands, I knew I was at the right place. He worked deligently to help me get some relief. He gave me hope. I have been getting progressively better and better because of his knowledge. Dr. Sands is patient, caring, consistent, personable, gifted, intuitive, funny, smart, clean, neat, organized, punctual, overall a good person and an excellent doctor. I truly appreciates how he thoroughly sanitizes in between each client and checks each clients temperature. I'm honored to have Dr. Sands as my doctor. I highly recommend Dr: Sands! read more

Dr. Sands is all around awesome. As an athlete and martial artist I appreciate his understanding (as a martial artist himself) of how hard we can be on our bodies. He's been paramount in helping me recover following a car accident that disrupted my active lifestyle/career. He's very easy to talk to, very knowledgeable and I always feel better after leaving the office. His team is great as well, and offers acupuncture and massage. Shout out to Dana Sands too for scheduling and great communication. read more

While I don't often leave reviews, the thoughtfulness and care of the Doctor and staff along with the cleanliness of the newly renovated office compelled me to share. I suffer from mid-back thoracic pain. After working with Dr Sands for just a few sessions my pain has dissipated and mobility increased dramatically. Dr Adam Sands is a true professional. He will take great care of you and your family. He's a family man! After years of exploring several wellness practitioners, I think I've found my guy; he's by far the most technical, knowledgeable and careful. And they make the insurance process so easy. Here's to your health! read more

Adam C Sands, DC - Chiropractors Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Dr Sands is my kind of chiropractor: very thorough, professional and makes you feel safe. I'm an elite level workout addict with bodyshop needs regularly, I've had hamstring surgery and tears on other tendons, and with that I need a great chiropractor on my team, hence why I reached out to this clinic. The location is easy to find and has parking in the back for guests. The office is clean. The only drawback for me is he doesn't take insurance and due to my super expensive insurance I'd like to use the benefits for chiropractic care. read more

Dr. Sands is amazing - I've probably seen at least 20 different chiropractors in my life and he is definitely among the best! I have definitely had ones that act like you're in the lunch line at Jimmy John's, trying to get you in and out as fast as possible with minimal customization. Dr. Sands is patient, thorough in his treatments, and informative without being condescending. He also employed a broad range of modalities and was receptive personalizing my treatment based on what I described as having responded to well in the past (soft tissue work, active release therapy, etc.). I saw him regularly while living in LA to help out with running-related injuries and "normal chiro care" (i.e. tightness from a desk job, the common low back pain) - and he was great at not only helping me whatever I was complaining about on that specific day, but also helping me troubleshoot and understand the root cause of my issues. I ran 2 marathons while under his care and both of them were huge PRs. I would always go in for a "tune up" before each race, and I know that played a big role in my results! I also had a GREAT sports massage in his office. Truly cannot recommend him enough! read more

I cannot explain how much my quality of life has improved since first seeing Dr Sands sometime around spring of last year. At the time, I was working a 9-5 desk job which had me sitting nearly all day. I had been experiencing recurring migraines and back pain following a pretty gnarly car accident in 2018. It was the constant sitting at this desk job that really forced me into action. I couldn't sleep through the night and I was in constant pain. I went for my first adjustment and the pressure in my shoulders and pain in my neck were gone. I could finally sleep through the night again. My headaches subsided and through regular adjustments I started to feel my body begin to align again. I immediately referred my mom and dad and they have been seeing him regularly ever since. In our house, his expert chiropractic abilities are frequently talked about. I moved out of state in August and I have yet to find anyone REMOTELY comparable (I doubt I ever will!). I cannot sing his praises enough. I completely trust him with my spine health and you should too. He is truly an expert and his energy will instantly put you at ease. He is genuinely a good person and it shows! read more

Was in a car accident - worse back pain ever had was referred by my lawyer to get treatment. One thing you'll notice when you first get there is Cleanliness no odor in the work place. As for Mr. Adam very knowledgeable, communicative and not pushy. Setting appointments and cancelling is easy. read more

Dr. Sands is wonderful. He helped me so much with my frozen shoulder. I'm very grateful and highly recommend his services.

Life Saver. It's a candy, yes, but also an adjective applicable to Dr. Sands. How lucky I am to have found this guy! How lucky *you'll* be if you decide to procure his services! For myself, I had been suffering from a dull, distracting pain for more years than I have fingers, and it only seemed to worsen as time went on. I could n't figure out what was causing it. This was adversely affecting almost all areas of my life, and at this point, I have no idea what state I would be in if Dr. Sands hadn't've worked his magic. Through suggestion from friends that I should try chiropractic medicine, I found Dr. Sands, took a chance, and am now happily smiling as I type these words. I used to not smile very much. Friendly, accesible, caring, patient, cool -- pick a positive adjective for Dr. Sands, it's applicable. Try him out, and I'm sure you'll agree. Still, I'm going to stick with what I feel is the most applicable -- life saver. read more

I started seeing Dr. Sands during the pandemic, and I always felt comfortable with his health procedures. I can tell he cares a lot about his clients and wants to make it as easy and as safe as possible to receive care in person. I came to Dr. Sands with hip pain that has been going on for about a year. I couldn't workout as I liked, and running and even walking was very uncomfortable for me. Dr. Sands worked with me to find relief from my pain so that I can run as I used to! In addition to his great chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue work, he is incredibly kind and caring with his clients. He makes me feel comfortable every time! I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends without a doubt. Thanks for helping get me back into shape, so I can workout and run without pain! read more

I've been going to Dr. Sands since 2013 after receiving multiple recommendations for him when I asked around for a chiropractor. I've seen countless chiropractors in both the Bay Area and Los Angeles and unfortunately most of them have either not helped me with my issues or caused further injury. Dr. Sands is truly the exception. He has put me back in alignment after many overly enthusiastic snowboarding trips, self-inflicted injuries due to bad office desk posture, and a car accident. He is not only incredibly knowledgable and talented in delivering chiropractic care, but also passionate about helping people learn techniques so as not to cause future injury. I send all of my friends and family to Dr. Sands, fully trusting he will help them with their pain. He has helped them through pinched nerves, sports injuries, and even injuries sustained while giving birth. Going to a chiropractor is an intimidating ordeal and I can confidently say that I know is they are in good hands when I send them his way. Thanks Dr. Sands! read more

Dr. Sands is the best! I've been going to him for about a year and a half. I started seeing him because I had so much tightness in my shoulders from weightlifting but he definitely worked his magic on me. Recently I've been seeing him at least once a week because I'm running a lot on a treadmill so my calves and IT bands are really tight. For anyone out there that's an athlete, he's definitely your guy. read more

I've been working with chiropractors for over 30 years in conjunction with my physical training Dr Adam Sands is by far the most intuitive and sports injury educated in LA He participates in not only healing but also comprehensive harm reduction movements and exercises He is active and motivating. read more

I have been going to chiropractors for over 30 years, and Dr. Adam Sands is hands down, the best chiropractor I have ever been to. I feel so fortunate to have found him, and I unless I move, I can't imagine ever changing. Dr. Sands seems to intuitively know exactly where the pain is. Occasionally I have sciatica, and he has a way of treating the area, between massage and adjustment, that makes it disappear by the time I leave. I was wondering how it would be to come back for an appointment, after the stay at home order lifted. I was very concerned, since I am of a certain age group. However, it was so safe, I needn't have worried. Dr. Sands has patients wait in their cars, while he wipes everything down twice, and airs out the office, between people. All the doors and windows are open, and fans are going. Both he and the patient wear masks. I felt so safe. Dr. Sands spends so much time doing the treatment (much longer than any other chiropractor) that I always feel well taken care of and never rushed. He is so knowledgeable, skilled and caring; a true healer. I usually don't write many reviews, but after the adjustment today, with the pain gone and feeling so great, I felt compelled to write this. Thank you so much, Dr. Sands, your wonderful work is so very much appreciated. read more

Fixed my messed up back recently from a popped L5. I regularly go to him, so this review is overdue. Great knowledge of the body.

Sands' has been my only Chiro since 2014. I've been referring people here all the time and all of them swear by his work. If your tired of seeing your Chiro for 10 or 15 minutes where they just crack the usual spots and send you on your way, then I promise you will love the change with Dr. Sands. When I visited him first I had an ankle injury from playing racquetball. It had become a chronic problem for 2 years. Until I was referred to Sands and my first visit he spent a whole hour discussing and learning about why I was there. He analyzed everything from my walk, stance, and how I was sitting beforing having me lay down so he can examine everything I shared with him. But I wasn't sold yet, since all past Chiro's had the same procedure (but none exceeded 30 minutes during the first visit) so I was suspicious because of past experiences with those other Chiro's after those first visits. After visiting him 3 times is when I knew that Dr. Sands was the real deal. And they more I got to know him, the more I respected him as a professional and person. What makes Dr. Sands different than the rest is his devotion to his own healthy lifestyle. He's an athlete, jiu jitsu instructure, involved in both yoga and pilates, and brings great nutritional insight for overall health on top of his schooling as a chiropractor. He understands athletic pains and need for recovery as he is one. Understands the body beyond just what he studied in books but also in life as he's so active in natural movement of the body in all that he practices. After seeing Sands for a few months coupled with his guidance in improving muscles that were not being properly activated because of my flat feet, I'm very happy to report that my ankle issue is no longer an issue. Been over 3 years that I have not had any issues with my ackle all thanks to Dr. Sands. If that wasn't enough, he's also incredibly caring, understanding, knowledgeable, genuine, and thoughtful on a more personal note. In my opinion, seeing Dr. Sands at least 2x a year is like visiting a dentist to avoid bigger problems. We need to make sure all of bones are aligned as nature intended to help avoid bigger problems down the line. (I'm not a doctor or health professional, just my opinion.) read more

Dr. Sands is the real deal. Highly recommended. Especially if you're an athlete or you live an active lifestyle and run into sports injuries like I do. I've had rotator cuff, lower back, ACL, ankle injuries... And Dr. Sands has helped me overcome all of them. I really appreciate how Dr. Sands gets to the point, and does exactly what's needed. Without trying to sell you on endless treatments or over-complicating things. read more

Dr Sands is the best chiropractor I have ever been to. I love that he doesn't simply crack my back/neck. He actually takes time, which is so rare with chiropractic. Most of the appointment is spent on soft tissue work and the adjustment feels natural and like my body has been properly primed for it. My upper back and neck issues are so much better since I have started seeing him. He's also one of the nicest and most personable guys ever. So glad I found him! read more

Dr. Sands is an exceptional Chiropractor. I was given a strong referral for him after injuring my shoulder pretty bad. I also have quite a few other issues because I have a little s-curve and have done quite a bit of damage to myself dancing since I was quite young. My only prior experience with a chiropractor in the past wasn't the most excellent, but Dr. Sands has shown me the benefits of a great chiropractor. He specializes in working with athletes, so I highly recommend him if you have any sports related injuries- but he's great for anyone. Because of my spinal curvature my shoulders have always been uneven- one trapezius muscle was always engaged trying to compensate. First time Dr. Sands adjusted me this went away. My mind was really blown. He's really helped relieve my pain as well as gave me physical therapy exercises to do for my injury and other issues. Thank you!! read more

As good as it gets for sure! I have been in pain for the last 6 months from a car wreck and have been seeing doctors and even acupuncturists. No matter what the pain continues to flare up within 24 hours. I went to see Dr. Sands and could not believe how quickly I felt better. The moment I walked out I knew I was already a ton better. I am really excited for the to know and feel that I will actually make a recovery without suffering from daily pain. He made me feel comfortable and even gave me things that are doable to continue to feel better. His office is VERY CLEAN and easy to get to. I highly recommend you go visit Dr. Sands. You will NOT regret it! Best Chiropractor and most knowledgeable sports doctor I have ever met. Best of all-great hours and even weekend availability. Thank you Dr. Sands!!! read more

Dr.Sands is a great one! And this place is great on its own. The place is nice and clean, with a lot of equipment for helping recovery, a pilates bed, and a gym room. These help you to do any recovery. I had always had lower back pain and it got worse when I had to spend several months sitting in front the desk and typing all day long. My wrist also got injured from typing. And the lower back was crying at me. So I decided to take some actions. I heard Dr. Sands from upstairs yoga people, so I called for a reservation. And then I started to come for treatment, and till now it has been almost two months! I have to say Dr.Sands is really friendly as well as knowledgeable. He has great courtesy, which makes you feel at ease, as well as savviness, which makes you feel he is able to help you recover. So after several weeks of consistent treatment, my wrist pain has completely gone! And my severe lower back pain has almost gone, even though it is not fully recovered because it takes time to heal (it wasn't a one day injure and has been there long), I wish I would have known him earlier and got treated earlier. But at least my pain is gradually leaving me. Highly recommended if your body is not doing right or there is any pain bothers you. He will be able to help you figure out and help you recover. read more

After only a few visits to Dr. Adam Sands, I feel like a new woman! I have mobility in my neck that I haven't had in a long time and my aches and pains are going away! His thorough and effective techniques are top notch! read more

I've been getting chiro treatment from Adam for over 5 years now... He's the best chiropractor I know of in Southern California, and I've been to a ton of them in the past decade... He's a great guy, but the main thing that sets Dr. Sands apart from these other doctors I've been to is that he truly cares about what he's doing, every time... As a professional athlete, my back locked up pretty bad in 2011 due to a herniated disc. Adam worked on me twice a week, for over a month, before ever attempting to adjust or crack me. Instead, he did active release and deep tissue, until I was finally loose enough to be adjusted. Most chiros just crack you left and right and send you on your way... Do yourself a favor and see a real chiropractor like Adam before you get a cracker that just makes your life worse... I'm very happy with the treatment I've been getting, and have sent my wife to him (who is also a professional athlete). We wouldn't consider going anywhere else. read more

This is a great chiropractor! Dr. Sands is knowledgeable, courteous and caring. Looking forward to a successful treatment plan. The location is fresh and clean. Ample street parking. Online bookings. read more

After my negative reviews were shared I was contacted by the office with an apology and told I would not be charged for the visit. I appreciated the lengthy response. Perhaps my visit is not the normal experience with his business. read more

It took me a while to find a chiropractor I could trust. I get pretty bad tech neck and back pain from sitting in front of a computer all day. I let it get so bad that I could barely move my neck. After my first 3 sessions with Dr Sands, I felt like a new person. He is super knowledgable and you can tell he really loves what he does. I see him regularly and every time is a great experience! read more

Dr Adam Sands is incredibly thorough in his examination of patients and really takes the time to find out what is wrong and what can be done to help. He is also very knowledgable and has a lot of experience. Prior to the visit I experienced pain and stiffness associated with prolonged physical activity and exercise. He was able to pin point my areas of need, and start working on them all while making me feel at ease. He really goes above and beyond for his patients. I highly recommend him! read more

As a first time patient to any chiropractor, I can gladly say my experience was exceptional. Dr. Sands took the time to let me thoroughly explain my lifestyle, the pain I was experiencing and helped explain what was going on with my body. I felt very comfortable in his hands. He is very professional, yet personal and extremely knowledgable. Walking out of his office I felt 6 feet tall. I'm looking forward to my next visit already. read more

Thorough, knowledgeable, friendly, and he helps my aches tremendously!

I don't typically leave reviews, but I have been going to Dr. Sands for the past two to three years and he is the best chiropractor I have ever been too. As someone who has suffered from chronic back pain for years, I do not say that lightly as I have been to multiple chiropractors. He is extremely knowledgeable and provides techniques to help alleviate future pain or injuries. Not only is he talented in his chiropractic care, he truly seems to care about his patients and puts you at ease during your appointment. He is extremely friendly and kind! read more

I've been coming to Dr Adam Sands for at least 5 or 6 years now, before and after I had a torn ACL, shoulder problems, tightness in my back, you name it. I'm very skeptical of chiropractors, especially the ones that just take liberties cracking every joint in my body because they think that's what people want from a chiropractor. Dr Sands is very knowledgeable about mobility in the body and treats the issues, not the symptoms. I'm always learning something new about why stuff hurts and he never tries to sell me on coming in for 20 treatments to fix my tight lower back. Highly recommend, best chiropractor I know in LA easily. read more

In addition to seeing Dr. Sands, I've also been getting bi-monthly deep tissue massages with Kennedy. Kennedy is a true miracle worker. Any tightness or soreness I have going into a massage is eradicated by the end. He's also really improved my range of motion and helped worked on my facial muscles to fix chronic stress headaches. I recommend him to all my friends :) read more

I've been dealing with severe chronic neck pain for weeks, and finally went in to visit Adam after hearing about the great work he does from several people I know. Even after just one visit with Adam, the mobility in my neck was increased, and pain level had decreased significantly. I can actually move my head side to side and up and down unlike the previous days before my visit. I can't believe the difference one visit made, and I look forward to my follow-up visit tomorrow. read more

Dr Sands is very professional, listens well and made me feel comfortable. I would highly recommend
