If you need a REAL chiropractor, book an appointment with Dr. Cressy. He is the best in his craft, he always takes good care of my customers when they get into an accident. He will also treat non-accident related injuries. He and his staff are professionals and very caring. Once you try him, you will never regret that you did. read more

Dr. Kevin Cressey is truly one of a kind. My 19-year-old daughter has scoliosis and has undergone a partial spinal fusion, followed by a second surgery to remove some of the hardware. As a result, she has lived with ongoing, often debilitating pain that has been incredibly difficult to manage. We've seen countless doctors and alternative health professionals, but Dr. Cressey has been, without question, the most helpful. He took the time to carefully evaluate her condition, really listened, and worked patiently to develop a treatment plan that has finally provided some much-needed relief. That's a huge win for her -- and for our entire family. Dr. Cressey isn't just skilled -- he genuinely cares for his patients. He treats people like individuals, not cases, and his compassion and professionalism shine through in every interaction. As an active person myself who deals with occasional lower back pain from cycling and weightlifting, I've also experienced Dr. Cressey's expertise firsthand. He has an incredible ability to pinpoint the issue and get you feeling better fast -- he's a magician with the spine! If you're looking for a chiropractor who's not only incredibly knowledgeable but also kind, attentive, and truly invested in your well-being, I can't recommend Dr. Cressey enough. read more

I was in an auto accident a year ago, and I've been going to Kevin Cressey's office. Kevin and his team are awesome; they really take care of you. Every time I come in for an adjustment, it makes me feel great, like a new person. So, if you are in need of some chiropractic assistance, give this place a call. Everyone here, including the front desk, is very professional. All the doctors here are great and have tons of experience. They even work on the weekends too read more

I feel so fortunate to have found Dr. Cressey following a major car accident. While there are many chiropractors in the LA area, Dr. Cressey stood out among his peers for a number of reasons: (a) 5-star reviews on Yelp, (b) specialized knowledge as a graduate of the Spine Research Institute of San Diego's Whiplash and Brain Injury Traumatology Program, (c) seems very invested in continuing education so well-versed with the latest research, and (d) he rocks a bow tie! Dr. Cressey was very thorough in his examination and helped me get the right imaging to properly assess my issues and figure out the right adjustments. Through the adjustments (and sometimes TENS therapy, hydromassage, therapeutic ultrasound, and rapid release), he really helped me regain my mobility and flexibility - helping to restore the natural flow of movements and energy. Moreover, he really helped coordinate care with my other treatment providers. Everyone at the practice is very kind, helpful, and all around awesome. Highly recommend! read more

Extremely thankful my attorney referred me to Dr.Cressey. Unfortunately, I've been to a few chiropractors due to car accidents in the past and Cressey has been by far, the best chiropractor doctor I've had to go to. From the moment you walk in, genuine customer service from the receptionists to Dr. Cressey's care. I can tell I'm in great hands. One last thing, their water bed is the icing on the cake. HIGHLY recommend. read more

I literally found this place just by browsing around and ended up visiting the office. Let me tell you, this is the best place ever. Every employee I encountered was really friendly and helpful. They don't only show concern, but they have nice conversation with you as well. If you ever happen to meet Robin, which you will most likely will. She works at the front desk, and the wife of Dr. Cressey. She is super awesome. She talks to you and helps you. She really really cares about patients' condition and she'll show major support for you. My doctor is, I believe, his name is spelled De Le Cruz, and he is just amazing. He'll walk you through and give you a good overall assessment. He'll treat you carefully base on how your conditions are. When I went in the first day feeling really painful, he promised me that I'll feel better within the next few days. And it did, and I was super relief and happy! I would recommend anyone to him. Parking, they have a private lot, which has a gate. But they'll validate for you by giving you a token. You'll just put it in the slot at the gate and you're good to exit! If you're in pain, and in need to see great chiropractors, Kevin Cressey office is your salvation!! read more

I've been to chiropractors since I was a little kid. Been praying to find great one (they're SO few and far between). I've had some chronic, long-standing issues with my back and neck, and this man adjusted me like he's known my body his entire life!!! I immediately knew I was in expert hands. Dr. Kevin Cressey has a wonderful, easy manner and lovely sense of humor. He's truly a Chiro-Magician, and I'm ecstatic I found him. What a GIFT! read more

I wish I could say I was a success story :( Maybe I didn't give it enough of a try, but as Dr. Cressey explained prior to my treatment, I could have been one of those 5% that chiropractics doesn't really work for. I won't go into the details of my situation, but I am in a pretty frustrating and discouraging predicament. I came into Dr. Cressey's office hopeful from all his wonderful reviews. He squeezed me on Saturday last-minute to help me. I was always appreciative of how Dr. Cressey explained what he thought was going on. His office is STACKED with patients, yet I never felt like he rushed with me. Above all, I felt like he was really listening to me with an empathetic ear. I could tell that I put a lot of trust in him because I was very open and honest (and emotional) with my situation. And he always listened, without interruption or judgement, and was always understanding. Overall I am very impressed with how Dr. Cressey and his staff treated me. His office ALWAYS found a way to get me an appointment time that worked with my schedule. And I can definitively say that in our few visits together, despite the fact that chiro may not be for me, that Dr. Cressey did the absolute best he could to help me. Thank you. read more

Dr. Cressey and the team and Smith Chiropractors are incredible. At the end of February, my back was feeling weird and achy and I went to lie down on my bed. I went to get up and then felt such a sharp pain that I immediately had to lay flat on the ground and then couldn't get up, it was the worst pain of my life. On Sunday, after a very uncomfortable night, I was able to get an appointment because they're open 7 days a week! I first saw Dr. De La Cruz on Sunday and I could barely get in the car, walk to the appn, walk to the office to get adjusted. The pain was excruciating. He did some adjustments and suggested I connect with Dr. Cressey on Monday. I somehow made it to the appn on Monday after another day and night of shooting, excruciating pain. Dr. Cressey helped me to his office and told me that I had facet's syndrome, likely caused from one year of sitting at a non-ergonomic set up because I work from home. Part of my back was super swollen and he had to carefully adjust me. He told me to walk if I could, and to lie on my back to give it time to stop swelling. I did that for three straight weeks! I did everything Dr. Cressey told me, when to come back, what stretches to do and eventually I stopped going everyday until I could go every 3rd day, then every 5th day, until once a week. We're now down to once every two weeks and he tells me that eventually I can come down to once a month. He even wrote me a note so that my company bought me a standing desk so that I can have an ergonomic work station. I'm so thrilled that my friend Kate recommended Dr. Cressey. He helped relieve me of the worst pain I've had in my life. I really like how nice he is, and how into yelp he is (he's a former Yelp Elite from the beginning of Yelp). He has a very neat table in his office which lifts up and down and helps to stretch out the back. When he applies heat while using the shifting table it feels great. His staff is very friendly and sympathetic. I like getting treatment, which involves getting EMS treatments while lying on a water bed that gently massages you, it's a very relaxing experience. I would highly recommend Dr. Cressey if you're looking for a chiropractor. I would also recommend that you take work from home ergonomics seriously so that you don't end up flat on your back for three weeks in agony. read more

First time here but not the last time. My hubby was in extreme pain due to his neck and shoulder area and we both knew if he went to the ER, they would just send him to another doctor so we figured to skip that step. I called first thing in the morning and explained the situation and they said just to come on in. (Note: They usually don't accept walk-ins so please call and make an appointment first. Our situation was an emergency.) We arrived a short time later and my hubby was seen right away after filling out some paperwork. Super bonus: they have toys for the kiddos so my son had a blast playing with all of the Legos. They also have super comfortable chairs as well. You could fall asleep in them. The appointment was super quick. He met not with Dr. Cressey but with another doctor in the practice, Dr. Kuo. He said Dr. Kuo was very knowledgeable and treated him very well. He used techniques not done before and took x-rays. I highly recommend this office! read more

Ok so, listen. I've been going to Cressey for nearly a year. I've had chronic issues from a car accident 20 years ago. I also have chronic health concerns like migraines and sinus pressure. The first time I went to his office, he just listens to your concerns then goes in. He's SO GOOD that he can tell just by you walking in what needs adjusting after knowing your body. The man is EFFICIENT. So what prompted me TODAY to write a review? My friends. Let me tell you. A pandemic is not my version of a good time (ok maybe a bit. I don't miss traffic in LA) my body has really absorbed stress in new and exciting ways like frozen shoulder and severe TMJ. I asked him to check out both issues today and the numbness in my arm went from a 12 to a 6 (massive difference. I can actually feel movement again) and my jaw? It's not my favorite treatment of his but I feel like the tin man when Dorothy oiled his jaw. I'm sitting here looking in the mirror and moving my mouth. Who knew it was THIS stiff?! Dang, Cressey. Thanks dude. See ya Saturday. PS - ask him about music. read more

If I could recommend any chiropractor in the world to you dear friends, Dr. Cressey would be the one. Wouldn't it be cool if I hurt my back climbing Mount Everest? Skiing in the French Alps? But no. Doing my daily chores, reaching up into the cupboard for some more espresso, standing on a chair, (so unglamorous) I felt something slip out in my lower back. Then, like Bugs Bunny in a Warner's Brother's cartoon, my body froze in perpetual spasm and I dropped flat on the floor with one glass-breaking scream. All the usual thoughts are going through my head. I'm too young to die. I never wanted it to end this way. Damn it is dusty underneath my refrigerator! It took two hours and a whole lot of sweat to drag myself to the next room so that I could use a phone to call for help. Now the debate. 911 or the ex. 911 or the ex. What could go wrong with 911? Paperwork is NOT my strong suit. This is an instance where the wrong x on the wrong line could have me in a legal battle with my Musician's Union HMO which is barely hanging on by a thread. Ex it is. Darn, I wish I could put on some make up and brush my hair, brush my teeth. Why did I have to get taken down to the ground with this horrible outfit on? This is how I will be spending my last days.:-( Can't get up off the kitchen floor. No make up on my tear stained face. Looking like hell. Anybody who can see me in this state and smile at me is a saint. What do you think of chiropractic care? I am a fan of modern medicine. Maybe you are too. I have had a life saving surgery in the past. But. Ten years ago, I was advised to have surgery at UCLA for a disk problem. I opted for chiropractic care instead. With the help of a caring chiropractor and a long term program, I became pain free. For ten whole years. So, when I could not get off the floor, I asked my ex (a non yelper) to check yelp (my bible when it comes to finding restaurants doctors and more) for a chiropractor. He searched Pasadena chiropractors on yelp's website with hopes of finding someone who would be willing to make a house call because I could not get up from the floor. "How many stars?" I asked.;-) -Which is how I found Dr. Cressey. His first advice was to switch from heating pads to ice pads. He even sells gel ice packs. Which is great for me because I would be using frozen peas otherwise. When Dr. Cressey came to my messy recording studio/home, he brought diagrams of the spine and showed me the possibilities of my injury. He has a sophisticated knowledge of the practical workings of the spine and tissue that he was happy to educate me about. He brought a Mobile sonogram machine to treat me with. When he shook my hand and looked into my eyes, his compassionate smile let me know that I was in good hands. Dr Cressey treated me gently. He did a couple of tests and stretched me out. I felt better after his first visit. I did go to the hospital the next day when I still could not walk. I don't think that I would have been able to handle the pain of being on the stretcher without Dr. Cressy's help. The hospital confirmed the slipped disk that Cressey found and gave me morphine and steroids. I am looking forward to future treatments with Dr. Cressey. If you see me dancing at the next yelp event, it might be all thanks to Dr. Cressey.:-) And special thanks to the one who helped me find him. Brought me food so that I did not starve to death, and carried me to the couch. (I'm NOT a waif) So what if we don't agree on food, or anything else! The guys that will be there for you can't get up off the kitchen floor. No make up on your tear-stained face. When you are looking like hell. Are good guys indeed.:-) read more

I had a fantastic experience today with Dr. Cressey! Had multiple adjustments including my hands which were bothering me due to some Arthritis along with some numbing in my arms. I have been to several chiropractors and have never had anybody treat all of the areas of my body so extensively! He asked me a lot of questions and took detailed information on my aches and pains. I feel a great deal better and look forward to seeing him again for my next appointment scheduled. Reasonably priced and very thorough! It can go both ways if you think that only friends post reviews on Yelp versus some malcontent! read more

Dr. De la Cruz saved me! I came in with a fractured spine, unable to walk. Within half an hour of treatment he helped me be able to walk unassisted and prepared me with an extensive recovery plan. At every follow up he provided invaluable deep tissue work and helped relieve stress in the muscles around my spine. He also gave me an incredible physical therapy routine to work on at home. And once I was healed he created a safe and smart workout plan for me to condition my core and regain strength in my back and body. He's very kind and knows his stuff, especially with sports related injuries. You would be wise to see him for any issues you may be dealing with. I highly recommend. read more

My dad has been experiencing radiating neck pain for a few months now and I've been constantly pushing him to go see somebody about it. He finally budged! My friend actually referred me to this clinic so I went on ahead and made an appointment for my dad. I was really excited about this first appointment for my dad especially since so many people have raved about the doctors at this clinic and Dr. Cressey. The experience did not fall short from what was expected! Dr. Cressey is such a knowledgeable, honest, witty (and not to mention funny) person who is great at what he does! You can tell in that one session that he is very passionate about people and his practice. He makes a great effort into really knowing his clients and their concerns. Not only did he diagnose and treat my dads pain, he educated him about what was causing the pain and really made sure my dad was comfortable. My dad is a pretty stubborn guy and hates going to the doctor but I could tell that my dad is looking forward to coming back. Like some people have mentioned, Dr. Cressey doesn't do what he does just for money. He really cares about his clients! My boyfriend tried to make an appointment but Dr. Cressey was fully booked. Despite that, he came along with my Dad and I to the appointment. Dr. Cressey was kind enough to fit my boyfriend in to do an adjustment and listen to his concerns! That's what you call a great doctor. Thanks Dr. Cressey for helping my dad and my boyfriend! After one session, my dad has already noticed his pain has become less intense and feels so much better. We will definitely be back and will see you again soon! Tips: if it's your first appointment, come in early to fill in paperwork or you can go on Dr. Cressey's site and find the link to fill out paperwork. Parking is free, just ask for a token! read more

Dr. Cressey is just simply good people. A fellow foodie, all things Pasadena enthusiast, personable, professional, and most importantly great at chiropractic care. I probably average a tune-up every six weeks to two months due to repetitive work activity and daily exercise. So finding a place so close to work/home has been a godsend. Aside from the average tune-ups I have had some acute aches that Dr. Cressey diagnosed/adjusted/resolved right away with shoulder pain, ankles, hips, and lower back stiffness (ahhh the joy of the mid 30's). If any of this sounds familiar to you and the pain becomes unpleasant, Dr. Cressey is a good place to start. For those of you who are on the fence about chiropractic care, don't just go on popping pills, wellness is in your future! Highly, highly recommend Dr. Cressey and 100% agree with what so many others have said about his service. read more

For years I have been afraid to visit a chiropractor. Boy was I wrong! Dr. Cressey sorted out my back in no time at all. Unlike a lot of doctors he explained exactly what he was doing at every step of the way. He immediately knew what the problem was and how to fix it. I went into my first session with a 30 degree list to port and came out standing straight and tall. The subsequent sessions helped get me permanently straight and as totally removed the pain. If you have any form of back trouble do yourself a favor and go see Dr. Cressey. You will be much the better for it! read more

I called earlier today because I knew I needed an adjustment. The hearing in my right ear was muffled, I had a particular headache that only comes when I know I am in DESPERATE NEED of said adjustment. I have been getting chiropractic treatments for over 20 years and as a Massage Therapist, I know what my body needs. Today I needed an overall adjustment and his famous (at least to me it is) neck pull!! The instant relief was indescribable! I highly recommend them if you are in need of a place! read more

My tip is my review. TL;DR 5 Stars Dr. Cressey is a very knowledgeable chiropractor and takes his time to explain what he's doing. Had a nagging injury that needed adjustment and the right touch. Dr. Cressey was the perfect choice for me. Interesting adjustment table (it's movable- not the usual table) but it did the trick. I liked the warm water massage, it's so relaxing. I'll definitely be back (pun intended with said with my best Arnold S voice). Need a token for their private lot. Thanks Doc! SYOY read more

Kevin you are the CHIROMAN! Im petrified of ALL doctors seriously. Unless Im dealing with a huge amount of pain where Im waving white flag; I will drag myself to a Dr. office as last resort. It was a Saturday and I parked my car across the office and felt the need to leave. I just couldnt, I wouldnt, I cant, I shouldnt.. but I DID it! I walked into Dr. Cresseys office and was greeted by a staff member right away. I had a horrible back pain right in the center yet connected to my shoulder on the right. Day beforehand I went to Kaiser thinking I literally tore a muscle but all they gave me were pain mediciations. I looked around for a Chiropractor and remembered a tip from years ago about Dr.Cressey. I got in contact with him and he assured me he knew what my problem was and to pay him a visit. I dont normally trust people especially ones that say they know whats wrong without even seeing you!? hmm! Lets go back to my visit: After filling out some information I walked towards his office and immediately felt comfortable. He welcomes you like hes known you forever and carries friendly conversation with you. I sat down on the comfy seat/table area and pointed out my pain areas. I dont know what kind of magic he has but next thing I knew KLACKCLIAAAACK* went my back, my shoulder, my neck, even my wrists! Within minutes he had cracked areas in need of attention. He also recommended foods I should eat to strengthen areas. Everything happened so fast then found myself daydreaming at an electro table that sways your body. He gave me a to go chill pack hot and cold incase I were to feel pain again. Dr. Cressey assured me I would feel fine within a few days and while I hate to admit some people are right? Well he was right! 3 days in and I was back to normal. Thanks Dr! read more

Highly recommend! Came here for treatment after a car accident which left me with neck pain! They are very friendly and accommodating. Dr. Kuo was very informative and such a chill and nice guy! Thank you for helping me with neck problems, Dr. Kuo!! read more

Dr Cressey is the first chiropractor I've ever been to. I was nervous but I was better once I was inside the office. The friendly staff made me feel that everything was going to be ok. Dr. Cressey is very calm and knowledgeable. He explained what was the cause of my pain and what he was going to do for me. He Rice Crispy'ed me (snap, crackle & pop) and my pain was gone! Best of all, it didnt even hurt. Thank you! I hope to never get hurt again, but if I do, I know where Im going. Thank you Dr Cressey!! read more

Dr Cressey is amazing! I started going because I was having severe back pain and I was waking up with numb hands every morning... and at times my hands would go numb during the day. I felt like a new person after only one session, so I started going back weekly. My back is better, my hands aren't numb every morning, and every time I get an adjustment, my body feels amazing. This last week I had a sharp pain my neck and shoulder that wouldn't go away on its own. I went to Dr Cressey and in one session he cleared it and my pain was gone. He's talented, very professional and didn't require a massive payment plan to provide treatment. I pay as I go so I can afford treatment... and I go every chance I get. I can't recommend Dr Cressey enough! read more

This review is long overdue, as I've been functioning pain free for a few months now. I had a nagging knee injury that prevented me from running. I would go for a run and I could barely go a few hundred meters before I was in too much pain to continue on. So I stopped exercising for a few weeks to let it rest. Weeks later and the pain was still there. This pain was like no injury that I had ever had before. I couldn't shake the pain and the knee just didn't feel right. I'd even started to feel a twitch during the day doing normal things. My concern started to grow, as I thought that maybe my knee was shot and cringed at the thought of seeing a specialist and cringed even harder at the thought that I might need surgery as a remedy. Chiropractors are supposed to fix your spine and back, right? That's what I thought, so I was a little skeptical at first when I spoke to Dr. Cressey about my knee issues. How would the "back" guy fix my knee issues, I thought? After a few minutes of chatting about the injury, he urged me to pay him a visit to at least see what he could do. On my first visit he gave me some general info on chiropractic care and how the spine related to the every part of the body, using some colorful examples so that you understand the logic behind it, as opposed to spouting off technical jargon that you won't remember. Then I gave him the complete low down on the symptoms and he ran a few tests. A quick diagnosis ensured - the muscles and ligaments in the area of pain were very weak, and he had a solution. He set out a plan to tackle the injury and strengthen the muscles and ligaments. The regime worked perfectly. Within 2 weeks, I was feeling less pain. The random twitches that I would feel the during the work day lessened by the day and would eventually be gone. After a month, I tested the knee with a 3 mile run and was able to finish it pain free. I can sufficiently say that my expectations were surpassed - so much that I've come back for regular adjustments. Not only did my injury improve, but I learned a good bit of information as to how keep the injured area strong to avoid re-injury. Sure, I didn't have a back related injury per se, but would recommend that anyone with some nagging joints or muscle pains to give him a shot. read more

In my lifetime, I have visited a few chiropractors for various pain and physical therapy. (Being my height isn't all that fun - the weather really is different up here). Some were very skilled, and others are just creepy back crackers looking to string you along for repeat visits. Beyond some neck popping I haven't stayed long with one chiropractor. I've met and known Kevin socially until I shared with him some of my maladies I suffer. He suggested I visit him. Its only when I recently got into a serious car accident that propelled me to make an appointment. Kevin shares his office space with Dr. Smith, as well as the same support staff. (Btw... Robin and Valerie at the front desk are absolute charms to deal with in person and on the phone). All the information of Kevin and Dr Smith's websites are very informative and helpful. Dr Smith is also a great doctor with a great sense of humor that put you at ease. The knowledge and skills of Kevin and Dr Smith make for a great pair of chiropractors. The office is very comfortable and professional. I've been to some tacky ones that had equipment straight out of the 70s. The examination room has a great table that moves as you lay down to allow your spine to stretch. The therapy room is great too. I wish I had one of those hydro-jet beds in my house. Its a 10 minute ride of relaxation. Imagine warm gentle fingers massaging your back while some ultrasound stimulates trouble spots. You are in excellent hands if Wassima is there to treat you with ultrasound. As I have shared earlier, I know Kevin personally and socially. I've always found him to be a very caring and humorous man. His professional personality conveys a great knowledge of his field and a confidence in his skill that allows you to relax and trust in his work. Whenever I am waiting for my session, I can overhear him talking to other patients about their treatment. It impresses me to hear that he is not only concerned about treating the pain at hand but he wants to promote good health and wellness in the grander and bigger scheme of life. Dr Cressey is an excellent chiropractor. If you ever feel pain or need physical therapy, do not hesitate to give him a try. tip: park in their parking lot ... pick up a free token inside. read more

Anyone who has been living with more pain and discomfort than they should, but is also suspicious of chiropractors (which is pretty much EVERYONE) needs to see Dr. Kevin Cressey RIGHT NOW. Dr. Cressey is not just a doctor. Doctors just treat symptoms. They usually just give you whatever drugs that will fix one problem while creating a new one. (More often than not, the drugs never address the REAL problem in the first place) And mark my words - finding a doctor who does not constantly check his watch and rushes you out the door after seeing you for 5 minutes, even though you just spent an hour of your day waiting for him/her - is harder than finding a hairy straight man working at the MAC counter at Macy's. Dr. Cressey IS a doctor in all the right ways. He wants to relieve your pain, but also wants to find out what's causing it. He wants you to be as knowledgeable about your body as he is (yes, THAT'S why he goes over those laminated cards with you like a grade school teacher). He wants to treat your symptoms, but prefers that he helps you avoid those symptoms in the first place. How do I know this after just a couple of visits? Because on my first visit the instant I mentioned a previous serious car accident to Dr. Cressey - he immediately not only gave me his opinion, but pulled Dr. Smith (who he shares his clinic with) for a second opinion, and right there - even though this was an initial assessment, and it was way past the office's closing time of 6 pm, AND I was making Dr. C late for a very important date - they took my X-Rays. Then Dr. C expertly adjusted my neck and back. WOO-HOO!!! I can actually touch my ears to my shoulders now!!! More importantly, Dr. Cressey wasted no time letting me know my X-ray results. And he was very open and honest about treating ONLY what needed to be treated. Though this sounds like just plain honesty and common sense, most doctors, especially chiropractors (or chiroQUACKtors as I call them) would try to throw the book at you. And thank God. Turns out my neck needed more treatment than I thought, and I would be infinitely more glad to get it treated now by Dr. Cressey rather than get cleaned out by the hospitals when the pain gets really bad. Seeing that this is a tight economy, I know people are curious about pricing, but let me just say it's affordable. Better than giving HMO-controlled hospitals and drug companies thousands of your hard-earned cash. This is coming from someone who's not had health insurance this entire year. So a big SHOUT OUT to Dr. Cressey and his team - you have officially changed my perception of not just chiropractors, but of chiropractic medicine forever. Standing ovation. BRAVO. read more

Dr. Cressey has been the best Chiropractor I've ever seen. I went in with back pain and discomfort due to long period sitting for work. Once he sat me down he was very thorough with his examination. He checked almost every bone in my back, neck, shoulders, etc. to see if there was any pain. Once he did the adjusting, i was taken back on how many places (bones) he adjusted/cracked that I never knew existed! Once i left i felt relief and even felt a bit taller! If you are looking for a good chiropractor Dr. Cressey is your man! read more

If you're looking for a chiropractor because you were injured in a car accident, you will be so thankful you went to Dr. Cressey and his amazing team!  If this is you, I consider my situation as a complicated case because I wasn't critically injured but my accident was bad enough where it could have financially devastated me.  And Dr. Cressey was a God-send because him and his team helped heal my injury and also helped me navigate my treatment so it was financially feasible.  I wish I could say when it comes to health, who cares how much it costs, but unfortunately that was not my reality. I was rear-ended last year on the freeway (beginning of all the crazy rains we had) and the accident totaled my car.  Because my injuries were not life threatening and I could still drive my car (bc only the rear was smashed) police nor an ambulance were dispatched bc they were busy responding to all the other car accidents caused by the rain!  My family urged me to go to the ER, but intuition told me not to do that, so I Googled and read to see a chiropractor instead, which then led me to read Yelp reviews that Dr. Cressey successfully handled car accident injuries!  I was already a patient of his because I injured my knee from long-distance running so it was no brainer to see him. Fast forward 6 weeks later, I was still in a lot of pain, so much so that I couldn't work, and therefore was let go from my job.  Unemployed and still in pain from my accident, I was freaking out.  At this stage Dr. Cressey helped me navigate my treatment plan and he has a lot of great referrals who helped me recover from the accident.  I saw three other specialists who helped heal my injury and also hired an attorney.  Getting into a car accident is very expensive.  Even though the other driver was at fault and I have my own car insurance, you still need to navigate the claims process carefully making sure that you get what's within your rights and privileges. Throughout the process Dr. Cressey and his team took great care of me.  They're very professional and his referrals were amazing too, very knowledgable of car accident injuries, the process, and gave me a lot of reassurance and peace throughout the long recovery.  Like any injury you need to give it time to heal and I felt I really taken care of because I could just focus on my own personal healing and not worry (too much) about all the other details.  Dr. Cressey really cares for his patients and his referrals share the same level of care.  They understand how stressful this process is, it feels like a game and they truly know how to play it well. read more

Kevin is awesome. He really helped my neck and made me aware of a few posture facts that I never gave much thought previously. He's very knowledgeable and my "go-to" when I have pain issues. He's non-invasive and honestly the best chiropractor I've ever seen (and it's been many)! I took my 13-year son to him for pain he was having, and we learned that we needed to monitor an issue he's been having. My son had a mild adjustment that helped him greatly. read more

I met Kevin (oh gees, he's Dr. Cressey now!) through Yelp while he was still in chiropractic school (is that the right terminology for it?). I was always impressed by his passion for the field and impressed by his obvious book knowledge. Well, I can now personally attest to the fact that his skills go far past books. He is simply a fantastic chiropractor. I first started going to Dr. Smith, the other doctor in the practice, right before Kevin graduated on Kevin's recommendation for a shoulder injury. My shoulder was already improving when Kevin took over my treatment. He integrated adjustments with message and "homework" exercises for me to do. For the first time in two years my shoulder stopped being a constant pain and turned back to something that moved my arm. I would have been eternally grateful just for that, however.... I play Roller Derby. I actually ref much more than I skate, but I am in the LA Derby Dolls wRECk League and thus have had my fair share of injuries the average Joe isn't going to get. My latest injury resulted in a MASSIVE bruise on my right thigh, my left knee swelling to double its size and my left shoulder (formally known as my good shoulder) so messed up I could barely move it. It turned out that the office was closed the day after my injury. Well, Kevin came in ON HIS DAY OFF and gave me an adjustment. If it wasn't for that I think I would still be much worse off than I am -- which isn't that bad at all two weeks later. I was even able to skate last night! If you're looking for a knowledgeable, caring, talented chiropractor stop. You've just found him. Still don't believe me? I made my mom go. I am very protective of my mom. She now sings Kevin's praises more than I do! read more

Are you a skeptic? Chiro newb? Scared of anything medical related? Well so was I... until I visited Dr. Cressey. I was involved in a car accident (not my fault I promise) which left me in pain and unable to sleep at night. I was referred to Dr. Cressey by my lawyer and went in not thinking this is going to help me with anything... Fast forward a few weeks later and I feel better than ever... physically and mentally. Anyone will tell you that I am afraid of everything but Dr. Cressey explained everything to me and answered any questions I had... and I had a lot. A very patient and funny man. I was still unable to relax fully during the sessions but he pulled out all of his tricks to make me CRACK. He also has a great group of individuals working with him. Amanda, for example, remembered my name on my second appointment. NO ONE has ever remembered my name or even pronounced it correctly after meeting me only one other time. She didn't have a chart, I didn't sign in, I didn't wear my name tag.... She's always bright and cheery so you leave feeling better even after a crappy day. Everyone there is so very friendly and nice, it's kind of unreal, but it works... you leave feeling better because of the positive energy and vibe that they produce. I would definitely recommend Dr. Cressey, especially if you have never been to a chiropractor. I am planning on making this a monthly thing for me and would not consider seeing anyone else. Tell him that you read my review... maybe he'll tell you a funny story lol. read more

Looking at Dr. Cressey purely as a chiropractor, I will any day give a 5-star rating. He is amazing at getting all the soft and weak spots on your neck, back, hands and legs and can relax in you in 5 to 10 minutes. His hand manipulation techniques are very effective. He is also very patient in explaining the details of your problem. His clinic uses water beds, electrical stimulation and ultra-sound therapies as well. Front-desk and office staff are friendly. But with all that said, I have to say this - Dr. Cressey could be quite expensive if you don't have PPO insurance (about $75 per session without PPO). More importantly - If he is the best, then I should give up hope on chiropractic practice itself. Because all my pain came back 2 or 3 months after I stopped going to him. I know for many people a chiro visit once every few months is enough, but for me it did not work. I had to keep going to them 2 to 3 times a week and I simply could not afford the money and the time. Same case with all chiros. I am better off financially going to physical therapists, who teach exercises you do yourself, than going to chiropractors to get the temporary relief for a few days. Again, that's just me, and if you need immediate relief from pain and are convinced about chiros, he may be the best in town! read more

Dr. Cressey knows his stuff! For my initial appointment, I was greeted by him and his staff with a firm handshake. Dr. Cressey took the time to listen to my concerns and answer my questions. He explained everything clearly and was easy to understand. For my adjustment, he was able to find all the spots that were bothering me, I was impressed! Hot water massage bed is awesome! ;) Dr. Cressey adjusted my whole family today and they loved it! Thanks again. Come here for professional and caring chiropractic services. I will definitely recommend Dr Cressey to my friends and family. read more

I went to Dr. Cressey after my car accident. He was very thorough in his examination and I felt great after getting adjusted...He is very knowledgeable and experienced and and makes an effort in educating his clients on how the spine, back and shoulder works...He taught me a few simple moves and exercises that I have been doing daily which helped with my neck & shoulder pain. The ladies at the front desk are very friendly...The office is very nice...I loved the hot water bed massage! :-) read more

After contemplating the professional ethics of my previous chiropractor, I realized having a good communication with your doctor is important. Understanding and knowing what's going on with your patient is vital to their healthy progression and lifestyle. Being a complicated case with previous injuries and surgeries, truthfully I was a bit hesitant to see Dr. Cressey because he was inexperienced. I realized I was in excellent hands because he had a great experienced colleague/partner and that Dr. Cressey was really skilled and knowledgeable. He always takes his time and asks how I'm doing and I don't feel rushed. Every visit has been wonderful and I feel myself getting better. I do appreciate the time he takes to find out what changes are happening to me and if things are getting better or worse, something that was lost at my other chiropractor. read more

My job sounds so damn easy, even to me. I stand behind a podium and talk for about 8 hours at a time. Ah, the life of a trade show salesman sounds like such a breeze. There is some lifting and whether I be at there airport, the convention center or experiencing the local culture in the streets, there's usually a lot of walking, but this still doesn't sound like a tough gig, right. That's until I worked a few shows on concrete floors (the floors are usually carpeted). The pressure on my spine of standing directly on concrete for so long finally it to me and wrecked my back...and just less than a week before my wedding. Here I was, worried about losing my voice, and what do I do? I messed my back up so bad, it hurt to walk, it hurt to sit...and the worst was when I sneezed. Wow, that hurt! I scheduled an appointment with Dr Kevin Cressey and he gave me a great education on how the back works...how they should be, how they shouldn't be, how they get that way and how to fix them. He let me know this injury happens a lot with chefs, performers and guys like me who stand for lengthy periods of time. Between conversation and visual aids, I really felt like I knew what was going on. As someone that doesn't see a lot of doctors, Dr. Cressey made me feel really comfortable with what was going on and most importantly, he gave me hope that I wouldn't be a crippled disaster at my first dance. He evaluated my back, found the problems and gave me an adjustment. I now understood the basic science behind what he was going to so, but I still didnt know what to expect. I just knew that I needed to exhaust every option to be 100% for my wedding day (3 days away at this point). At the time I arrived at Dr Cressey's office I was probably at 40% and in quite a bit of pain. I laid across the bed and he cracked my back, loosening things up. I'd hear and feel pops during the adjustment...things were clearly happening. Within 2 days, I was back to 100%. Back pain sucks and thanks to the therapy and the education on how to take better care of myself. Thanks for getting me there! read more

I hurt myself lifting weights overhead and for the second time this year felt a shooting pain up the side of my neck. Lucky for me, I met Dr. Cressey at a Yelp event and could actually call on someone who I trusted to help alleviate the pain. I hadn't done any chiropractic work since I was a little kid with back problems, so, I didn't know what to expect - all I hoped was for the pain to go away. And I'm happy to say after 3 adjustments and a few therapies, it's gone. Yay - I can check my blind spots while driving without having to turn my entire body 90 degrees! I can lift weights like a champ! Dr. Cressey's bedside manner is caring, kind, and he is great at explaining things. I deeply value the fact that he did not over treat. Highly recommended - A+ - Gold Star, etc. :) read more

I've always been skeptical about chiropractors. That's one unfortunate aspect of growing up with the U.S. health care system. Most MDs talk about chiropractic care as though it's black magick or something. Anyway, I blew out my back Last Saturday, while trying to throw a coffee table. I mean just WRECKED it. Spent all day Sunday in the most excruciating pain I've felt, well... since the last time this happened to me about 10 or so years ago. I play music for a living, and a large part of my job includes schlepping my equipment from place to place. If I can't move my gear, I can't work. The last time this happened, I was down for a week and a half. That's a lot of music missed. Income, too. Probably because she got tired of all the whining, my awesome wife found and contacted Dr. Cressey. He came to my house on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (thank christ for health insurance), and worked on me right there in the living room. The difference has been HUGE. Without his help, I wouldn't be back on my feet in only three days. Today, I was able to walk into his office for x-rays. His staff are absolutely top-notch, and they have great equipment. The water massage bed is BADASS. If you've been on one, you know what I'm talking about! Dr Cressey went to great length to make sure that I was well-informed. He has a lot of patience with all my questions, and his bedside manner is second to none. It's obvious that he has a real passion, a real love for what he does. And he does it well. Skeptic no more, this guy. Highly-recommended. read more

I've been seeing chiropractors since I was in high school - Mom got me started due to severe migraines and various neck and lower back problems. My Dad was a chiropractor. Previous doctors always helped a little, but I never felt like I was getting better or making progress. I once asked a chiropractor if there were any exercises I could do to improve my neck and back. He said, "Yes...exercise". Not helpful. I found Dr. Cressey on Yelp, trusted the glowing reviews, and I am so glad I did. I really believe he's changed my life. I'd had pain for so long, I thought I just had to accept it. Dr. Cressey showed me the light and for the first time in (I don't know how long) I have little to no physical complaints and generally feel better. I even sleep better. It's been months since my last debilitating migraine; I used to get them 1-2 times per month. Dr. Cressey really knows his stuff. After my first visit to his Pasadena office, I remarked to my husband that he was the first chiropractor who didn't hurt me and I didn't feel beat up after my adjustment. Dr. Cressey is intelligent and genuinely concerned with your health and improvement. He's given me some really helpful exercises and I've even started hiking because of him. He's a true healer, practices what he preaches, and believes in the power of customer service (which is really important to me). He's understanding, sympathetic, and really listens. I've never had a problem with him, but I believe him to be the kind of person who would not only remedy the situation immediately, but make sure it never happened again. Furthermore, his staff is impeccable. They really are the best staff I've ever encountered in a doctor's office anywhere. I'm not exaggerating, they're awesome. I really look forward to my weekly appointments. His office is clean, professional, and comfortable. I have the highest opinion of Dr. Cressey and his staff and will happily recommend them to my friends and family. read more
