About three weeks ago, I woke up with pain in my lower back pain with intermittent needle piercing. I had difficulties walking, sitting and laying down. I couldn't stand up straight. I tried the ice, heat, stretching, TENS, rest but I couldn't get relief. Nothing made it better. I called Dr Levy's office and the receptionist asked when i wanted to come in. I expected sometime next week, but was surprised when she said an opening this afternoon at 3. I arrived on time, and she had me in a room immediately. Dr. Levy came in and asked what was wrong. He has the best bedside manner of any of my doctors - listens to you, down to earth, warm personality, very compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable. He said that he could help me. He came back with a heat pad for my lower back. Followed by several adjustments on a padded table. When I stood, I was straighter, and my hips were even. Oh my, it was such a relief! I made another appointment for a couple days later (who would have thought I could be better in one appointment...it had been weeks of pain), but Dr Levy told me to cancel if I felt better. He explained that I should not wait this long if I have back pain again. I now understand the bones alignment gets tweaked, the nerves pinched and the muscles get stretched trying to hold it all together. Dr. Levy says "Come back if you are in pain". In this day of constant up charges, it is very refreshing to have the office tell you not to come back unless I am in pain. Wow! This office is the gold standard. read more

So many words that I can say to describe this chiropractor office, Dr Levy is amazing he knows where and how to crack your back. He is just a wonderful person always happy and in a good mood when I see him. I wouldn't go anywhere else but here if I need a good crack. He takes good care of you. Office experience is to the T very organized and patient with scheduling appointments as well. Highly recommend coming here. read more

and recommended spinal fusion surgery, which I was seriously considering in spite of all the bad things I'd heard about that could happen as a result. A friend insisted I try Derek Levy chiropractic. Without much hope, I went to see him and felt noticable relief after several visits. I continued to see him weekly and feel the pain is now manageable most of the time. If it flares up, he fits me in right away and gets rid of it. I'm not totally pain-free all the time but it doesn't interfere with my living my life anymore. He and his assistant Theresa are funny, friendly and caring. Help yourself feel better and give him a try! read more

Dr. Levy is the best! Last week I was in so much pain and could barely walk. Although they were closed, he was easy to reach and even came in for me that same day as an emergency visit. By the first adjustment I already felt so much better! I returned the following day in the morning and in the afternoon as he recommended to help get me through the weekend. His expertise and attentiveness is outstanding, you won't be disappointed! read more

Dr. Levy is super chill and super experienced! Loved his beachy vibe and approach to my issue with some heat therapy, chiropractic magic, & ice therapy. Don't hesitate to make the call! They were so nice and fit me in immediately. I'm glad to know about this neighborhood gem read more

Dr Derek literally put my hips back in place! I was in so much pain when I showed up and I got the best adjustment. I feel like I have a brand new back. Thanks so much! Highly recommended!!! read more

I can't believe I put off going to a chiropractor because I had heard of bad experiences! I have had pretty painful lower back pain for almost a year and the other day it totally got thrown out and I was on my back for about an hour. I'm a mom to 4 boys so I can't be on my back unless I'm sleeping! I immediately contacted my primary doctor but I was told to go see Derek. He saw me first thing next morning. On my way to his office I walked very slow, I could barely get into my car seat without it hurting bad and I couldn't walk up stairs normally. I was also really apprehensive about the additional pain I might endure seeing him. Megyn greeted me and was super friendly and the office is full of toys to distract all of my kids had they been there! WOW!! If you are reading this and you have back pain (or any pain for that matter!) GO SEE DEREK!!! *STOP RIGHT HERE AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT!!!!! You don't need to read any further but I'll tell you that I had no pain while getting adjusted and it was fast! I walked out of his office a different person! I didn't have that sharp, cutting pain and I could bend my knee again so I could walk up stairs! I really couldn't believe it. What's cool is that he says to call him when I'm in pain and that I don't need to go every week. I woke up the day after I saw him and got out of bed feeling really good! I am still in shock really. I only wish I had seen him sooner!! His office is also designed so cool with pics of South Bay surf (some with him on them!) and the vibe is perfect for the rad little beach town we live in. Thank you SO MUCH DR. LEVY!! read more

This review is long overdue, but better late than never! Derek is truly amazing. He has been treating my mom since the mid 90s and has even gone on to treat a handful of the rest of our family over the years, myself included. He is super friendly, welcoming, you can tell he truly cares about his patients and he really has the magic touch! He makes sure that we know we can call him if we ever have any issues and he has made time to help us all. A visit to see Derek is always a great idea! read more

Yesterday I went and saw Derek and I'm so happy that I did. My knees started hurting months ago on and off. Had an X-ray that showed no issues. After waking up barley able to bend my knee I went to see what Derek could do. OMG! He was able to get it back into proper alignment and after spending all day babying it with ice, today I woke up and there is barely any pain! I'm going back in on Monday just to check and see if it needs more treatment (which he said it probably would since it was so out of place) but I just couldn't be happier. Thanks for such great care over all the years. read more

Fast, efficient and effective. Dr. Levy fixed my back in under 5 minutes. It was amazing. His staff was also supportive. Would recommend. read more

Great guy & friendly staff. Was seen same day I called. Took my insurance & also wasn't like other chiros who push "packages" or other deals trying to make more money. He wants you to feel better when you need it, period. He applied heat to my neck/shoulders prior to my adjustment & also gave me gel ice pack to take home with care instructions! Best care I've ever received for this. I will definitely be coming back for future care! read more

As a new patient I only saw the doctor for 10 mins. I had the earliest appointment so you could imagine how shocked I was when another new patient had the same appointment time as me with one doctor in the building. When I saw Dr. Levy, he asked what was wrong & I said about 5 things & he focused on one. He fixed my hips & said "since you're here I'll adjust your upper back as well." Gee thanks. He kept saying only come back if you hurt as if he wasn't trying to scam us out of money for frequent visits. The scam is having a $90 first visit & $60 after knowing full well that patients won't be returning. Don't come to him if you are expecting a doctor who will listen & take his time with you. read more

Dr. Levy is awesome! Gets straight to the point, gets you in and out, and makes it a point to not have you visiting indefinitely... I'm 3 visits in for excruciating back pain, but nearly 100% better. Before I started, I was almost unable to stand for more than 5 minutes. Now, I have a general soreness that he's working out, but I'm mobile again! The office staff is great also, and are patient navigating nonsense insurance responses... the whole process is just easy and effective. What else can you ask for? read more

I knew something was out of whack in my back when I started to have constant pain down the right side of my spine and over my right shoulder. It was pretty severe and limited my mobility, and the pain sucked! I knew I needed an adjustment. I saw all the 5 star reviews and I figured it was worth a shot. Got in that same day for an adjustment, after the adjustment Dr. Levy gave me instruction for that night and the next day the pain was gone! What was even better was his other instructions... "Only come back if you are in pain.". I've had a few Chiropractors develop long plans for treatment. It was very refreshing to have him tell me not to come back unless I was in pain. I'll be back when I need an adjustment! read more

This review is long overdue! I messed up my neck during a hiking trip. Couldn't turn my head and had pain going down my arm, elbow and tingling fingers. I had never been to a chiropractor before, and I was super nervous. My husband referred me to Dr. Levy, who was so awesome in understanding my anxiety over the adjustment process and assured me that it would make me feel better. After about 10 visits, my neck felt great again and I had no more pain! I highly recommend Dr. Levy! Oh, and he's super cool and loves great music! LOL! read more

Five Stars for sure!! First of all, I had been in pain for 3 weeks and seen multiple doctors with a pinched nerve in my neck. Nothing made it better. I found Dr. Levy and he got me in right away. I arrived ontime for my 5pm appointment and was seen immediately. No waiting as is typical in the doctor's office. Second, Dr. Levy has been at this for almost 40 years and clearly knows what he is doing. He has a compassionate and confident demeanor and is very down to earth and personable. Most important, he told me he knew what was wrong and could fix it. After a ten minute heat pad, he did an adjustment that took about 90 seconds. I am nearly pain free today and cannot tell you how grateful I am for him. Thank You! Matt W. read more

Dr Levy is AWESOME!!! Super friendly and chill, explained everything really well, didn't try to upsell me or anything, I was in and out of there in under 20 mins AND the adjustments he just did on me are already relieving the pain from a pinched nerve in my neck (which I'd been in pain from for months). I'm actually kind of pissed I didn't go see him sooner! He's definitely got a patient for life! Would highly recommend. read more

He helped me w my back post pregnancy years ago. I was in agony at the time and he helped with my pain in just 2 visits. Came back for my frozen shoulder this time, my shoulder has more function! Thanks Dr. Levy! My kids absolutely love playing in his office, they can't wait to come back! read more

I've seen Dr. Levy for six months now (starting May 2020). His style of adjustment is practical yet effective. Heat pads & hands-on alignment of the spine. Quite often Dr. Levy is able to diagnose my site of strain, or misalignment, within minutes of each visit. I recommend Dr. Levy to anyone seeking a chiropractor, especially if they are seeking recurring spine / neck alignment. read more

Unfortunately will not return. Left faster than speed of light. Two cracks wam bam.. The joint offers same service 2 minute cracks but they at least charge 60 for 4 times. I have to be honest. Very friendly both dr and receptionist ... super sweet sounding people but not what I was hoping. Felt a little ripped off. read more

Dr. Levy is a great chiropractor and he gets the job done every time. I have really bad lower back pain that becomes debilitating and he always fixes me in 1 or 2 visits. He is very responsive and is quick to fix any issues I may have. He always gets me in either day of or next for when the pain is unbearable. He is personable, professional and I greatly appreciate his knowledge and understanding. read more

Being new to the area and finding this wonderful chiropractor thru my insurance network. I must say Dr, Derek Levy is the best chiropractic I've ever been to. I was in desperate need of relief of my neck/shoulder pain caused by my highly demanding job, Dr. Levy adjusted and fixed my problem fairly quickly to my surprise as I have been suffering for years and have gone to several other chiropractors which were not able to "pin point" my issue. Dr. Levy has succeeded doing that! Highly recommended!!! read more

Just got to say thanks again Derrick for helping me so much with my neck snd back for years just the happiest jolly caring man so thanks again! read more

Dr. Levy is the best Chiropractor in the West! He always knows how and what needs to be adjusted every time we go. Always a positive outcome everytime we go. Ps. His staff is professional and friendly. THANK YOU :) read more

Derek is amazing. I took a horrible fall snowboarding and couldn't walk the next day. Dr. Levy informed me what was wrong and popped me back into place and was able to go to work. I couldn't recommend him enough! read more

My favorite area in the Beach Cities is PCH & Aviation. I spend so much time there that I even found the BEST chiropractor, Dr. Derek Levy. He's just up the street at Ocean & Aviation. I have a strenuous outdoors job & Dr. Levy truly knows how to take care of my aches & pains. His office assistant, Megyn, is fabulous & keeps me up-to-date on my insurance claims. Thank you both! read more

I spent much of my summer unable to sleep well or enjoy much with neck and shoulder pain from a pinched nerve. I'd never been to a chiropractor before but finally made an appointment with Dr Levy after hearing nothing but good things! I got an appointment on the same day that I called and was welcomed in by friendly front desk staff and a very kind and caring doctor. Dr Levy was very thorough and thoughtful, and he was able to give me the adjustment I needed to feel like myself again. I was amazed by the relief I felt right away! A few days after my appointment I was back to 100%, sleeping soundly, and picking up my kid again. I'm so grateful to Dr Levy and will never wait so long to be helped out again. Thank you Dr Levy!! read more

Dr. Levy is amazing, he genuinely cares for his patients. His office is clean, efficient, and stylish. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a consistently great chiropractor. He's been able to see me on short notice and reassures me that he is here to help. read more

Love this chiropractor! He is friendly and genuine. Front desk helps make it all easy and they are flexible when needing to adjust appointments. read more

100% recommend Derek! Not only have I been treated here, but I've sent my parents, friends, and anyone who is looking for a chiropractor straight to him. He's the absolute BEST! read more

Dr. Derek Levy is a wonder. Super friendly, empathetic, and the best chiropractor I've been to and I've been to a few. Making appointments is super easy and you're in and out. Dr. Levy helped me during an extremely dark time in my life caused by stress and coming off medication withdrawal where I was experiencing insomnia and anxiety. His adjustments and positivity really helped. I can't thank him enough. read more

I went to Dr. Levy back in February with a very severe pinched nerve in my neck....a reoccurrence of an issue from 5 years ago. My pain was a 9-10. Dr. Levy came as a personal recommendation from a friend. I was initially impressed....he said his goal was to get me fixed and out of the office. Not to keep me coming and coming. I was all in. Gradually, over the weeks the dumbness and tingling in my right arm began to dissipate. I'm 98% now and back to my normal activities. I appreciate his no-nonsense treatments. Never had to wait with an appoint. read more

When you Rock out too hard to local punk band Pennywise and mosh a little too hard, you find the best local chiropractor in town to help adjust you. His office had a pleasant receptionist who took me right in! There was music playing from Queen in the background as he took care of at least 5 clients while I got heated and ready for adjustment. It felt very comforting and welcoming. This was my first time. He was kind. Had a great smile. Gentle and Informative. And I feel 100% better already. 30 years in the business and you can tell! I'm hooked and will forever be a client. Thank you Dr Derek Levy. See you soon! read more

Dr Levy and his whole office is top notch! I've had some lower back/hip pain for the last couple of weeks and it got much worse in the last day or so. I called Dr. Levy's office expecting to get scheduled in the next week or so. To my surprise they were able to get me in within an hour! After telling Dr. Levy what I was going through and him looking me over quickly he immediately knew what was going on. Within 10 mins I was walking out of the door feeling a lot better and having a significant reduction in pain (and expect to be 100% in the next week or so). Dr Levy is extremely professional, but also very personable and relatable... he's just a good dude. He doesn't try to upsell you on services... he actually said he doesn't want to see me again cause it would mean I'm better :). I'm a very active person and workout 6-7 days a week. Dr Levy will become a consistent part of my long term health strategy to stay active and out of pain. read more

Dr. Derek Levy is the best in the game. Safe, knowledgeable and a true professional... I was in pain all night, but as soon I walk into his office I know he is going to fix me right up! Been coming for years and will continue forever. The #1 chiropractor in the South Bay. read more

Derek Levy, DC - Chiropractors Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

See all

Dr. Levy is always attentive and efficient and straight to the point. My mother has been coming to see him for a few years now. She has MS and arthritis among other issues regarding her back and hips. He always set her correct and pain was dialed down or gone each time. I went in to see him today myself from a soccer injury that out a rib out of place...I told him where and he felt it out and popped it painlessly back into place and I get instant relief. I would recommend Dr.Levy to all and everyone. I am a forever patient as well as my family. It's comforting knowing I have someone who will do their best to see me same day for my acute injuries so I can get back to a healthy state to train and compete at the highest level I can. Thanks for everything Dr. Levy. read more

Was hoping for an adjustment but he refused to treat me because I didn't want to sign an arbitration agreement, saying it was a requirement of his insurance. I've been going to chiropractors for years and cannot remember ever being required to sign an arbitration agreement before and I don't think I should be required to give up my legal rights as a condition of being seen. I've never sued any medical provider before and I'm not eager to sue anyone but I believe that recourse should be available to me in the event of a serious problem. I was not thrilled with his choice of locations; getting to his office required walking up 2 flights of stairs. read more

I'm really amazed at what he did to get rid of my pain. I was seriously in so much pain for almost a month after a back spasm. The spasm was in my upper back/shoulder/neck area, and there was a dull, aching pain shooting all the way down my right arm. I couldn't sleep at night b/c the pain was so bad. I spent hundreds of dollars with an ortho specialist running all kinds of tests to find out why the pain wasn't going away. They had me do a nerve conduction study that cost me $80 copay and $150 for the test (completely normal results), gave me a cortisone shot in my arm, prescribed me muscle relaxers, topical anti-inflamm. cream, steroid pills, and I had used over-the-counter Salonpas patches, Tiger Balm, CBD oil, leftover pain pills, used ice and heat, but NOTHING was stopping the pain. Out of desperation, I thought, I'm going to try a chiro. It was the day before I left for a week to Hawaii on vacation. I found him on the local Nextdoor app, and he had the best reviews, so I made an appt. Not even 30 seconds after I started telling him my story, he blurted out, "You have a pinched nerve" and then told me he would fix me right up. He did something to my neck, and literally I could feel relief within the hour. The pain started to recede in my right arm. I was about 80% better. Went on my vacation and came back immediately to him for another session. After that, like 95% better. I have zero pain in my right arm now, and only small, residual pain left in my neck. So happy I found him and will continue to see him as needed. read more

I was suffering from lower back pain. I called Dr. Levy to help. Because of the Covid recession my money was tight. He fixed me up in no time. I'm now able to pick things on the floors!! Thank you Doc! read more

Dr. Levy is incredible! After many years of trying various chiropractors in the South Bay, I finally found lower back pain relief from seeing Dr. Levy! He is also very gentle and sweet with little ones. He helped my almost 2 year old get over his congestion quickly with a quick and gentle adjustment. Super blessed to have him service the South Bay and know he is here to help me and my family when we need it! read more
