I've been seeing Dr. Dawson for about 8 months, after my partner began seeing him on a whim due to sciatica and athletic pains. I have chronic pain due to a host of chronic health issues, including fibromyalgia, and was initially hesitant. Now, I have zero regrets! Dr. Dawson is incredibly professional and empathetic. Best of all, his approach isn't geared towards the expectation that you will have to see him forever whereas other chiropractors we've seen in the past had a very different mentality. Dr. Dawson isn't only fixated on cracking things, but improving your overall wellness while paying attention to things like movement and exercise (that is right for YOU), stretching, diet, etc. He also uses a combination of manual body work, and target scraping, cupping, and massage gun. It's great knowing that my plan is customized and tailored to meet my changing needs. We've also had the pleasure of joining Dr. Dawson for a couple of his Flowstate classes which have been challenging and fun. As for the practice, i'm equally impressed and appreciative of Nancy, the office manager. Nancy is the sweetest human being who care just as much about the patients as Dr. Dawson does. She sends us reminders for each appointment and goes above and beyond to treat us well when we are there, getting us warmed up and prepped. The experience has been so great, that I recently gifted my sister a pack of appointments to start treatment for her own health issues, including chronic pain due to degenerative disk disease. The office is clean and COVID-safe, with the spaces being cleaned in between patients. There is easy parking, which is definitely a plus given the neighborhood, and it's conveniently located next to lots of WeHo spots to grab a takeout before or after. The location also offers therapeutic massage and acupuncture. read more

I've been going to chiropractors my entire life and can immediately tell if someone is legit or not and Ryan is the real deal! The way he examines your entire body and finds pain points without even telling him takes extreme skill. So good if you're looking for a Chiro! read more

I have had issues with my back my entire life, from nerve impingements to while living in constant pain. Dr Ryan Dawson has made such a huge positive change on my body, spine, health and pain. His abilities to know how to properly adjust my body has given me the chance to live pain free without pills for the first time in my life. He is a true healer and I am so grateful for his gifts. read more

The best crack I've ever had! For the past 4 years I've had a lot of pain on my right hip and upper back. I've seen other chiropractors in the valley, some were good and some were okay, but Ryan was by far the best. He really tries to understand your body and does not crack every part of your body and call it a day. He really is trying to fix whatever is bothering you and after he gives you specific things you can do at home to help lessen the pain. One of the positive things that stood out for me was when he said the goal is to never see you again. Meaning he wants you to be pain free so you're not coming back every day or every week. I highly recommend Dr. Dawson! read more

Ryan Dawson has, in the last 3 or 4 months, helped with my neck and back already more than other chiropractors that I have been seeing for years! He works with soft tissue as well as chiropractic adjustments making you feel better for longer and making it easier for your body to accept change. He accurately diagnosis spinal issues and He creates a program of exercises and stretches specifically catered to you that help to improve your situation from the inside out. I would recommend him to anyone! -Nicolette read more

Dr.Ryan is very knowledgeable about your anatomy and what kind of exercises that are needed to improve your overall health. He lets you know what you need to do at home and also gives great exercises from a health app to practice at home. He remembers what kind of adjustment and movement you had on your last visit and goes from there. I also use the massage and acupuncture for a whole body wellness. Nancy at the front desk is very friendly and always has a smile for you when you enter. read more

Dr. Dawson is a gifted healer & the best Chiropractor I have encountered. He is full of positive energy. I injured myself working a few years ago & after 6 months of regular visits with Dr. Dawson I was pain free. Not only does he give incredible adjustments but he also recommend stretching & lifestyle changes based on your specific condition. Receiving care from Dr. Dawson has been life changing for me. If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Thank you Dr. for all your help and support throughout the last few years. read more

Dr. Ryan is a true healer in every sense of the word! A session with Dr. Ryan is more than just an amazing adjustment so, if you are looking for someone to just "crack you back into place," then he is not the chiropractor for you. Sessions start with warming up your muscles, mind and spirit. While Dr. Ryan guides you through a mini yoga/stretching exercise flow, he fills your mind with affirmative thoughts, an abundance of knowledge, and positive energy through his inspirational words. During this initial warmup you will also learn to breathe and how your breath can lead your body and mind into a relaxed, safe space. Once up on the adjusting table the real magic begins. Dr. Ryan works with your soft tissue by stretching, massaging, and lengthening your muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Your breath work is essential in allowing your body to relax and go beyond any stretching you can do on your own. Dr. Ryan's gifted hands will find areas you need to release stress from, or bring more blood flow to, in order to heal. He gives a head to toe adjustment, quite literally, including elbows, knees, fingers, and toes. Not many DCs practice this method of adjusting. Dr. Ryan's knowledge of the body and its systems including how your mind affects your body is phenomenal. He is well versed in multiple areas of health, nutrition, mind, body, and spirit. And he practices what he preaches! His temple is evidence of that. The amount of mobility he has is inspirational! I have been a chiropractic patient since I was 7 years old, after falling off of a galloping horse straight onto my forehead. I have gone to several chiropractors throughout the years. In my late teens I was lucky enough to have a boyfriend whose dad was a chiropractor & the most incredible healer EVER! He is who I held ALL my future chiropractic experiences up to and that pedestal was high!! He gave a head to toe adjustment that I had never had before. I realized that there was so much more to an adjustment than just cracking your spine. He began by warming up the body and getting it loose and ready to receive the adjustment. Throughout the adjustment he would remind you to breath and really curate a story that made you melt into the table so that your mind would focus in other places. I did not live near my FIL so I needed to find someone near me. I came to find out that most chiropractors do not manipulate extremities. Sometimes, if I was lucky, I would find a DC who would, if you specifically asked for that. I found one DC I really liked who was just starting to grow his business. I went to him for years until he got too popular and the quality time of my adjustment sessions became the routine "get 'em in and out, I don't have time for you anymore, type of thing." In mid 2018, I was walking in Marina del Rey, where I live, while training for the LA Marathon. I saw a woman getting an adjustment in the middle of a park. As I approached, I saw that she was getting her arms and fingers manipulated! What? NOBODY ever adjustments the fingers and toes! I stood by and waited for 20 minutes to get the chiropractor's attention, who was fully engaged in the adjustment. This is when I met Dr. Ryan Dawson and once again I had found a true healer! My first session (& every one since) was in a park around the corner from my house. Who else does that? Comes to you, whether that be in a park, the beach, mountains, you name it. Connecting with nature while going through a session with Dr. Ryan is an experience like no other. When I first started seeing Dr. Ryan, I was experiencing different aches and tension than I ever had before, due to all the walking I was doing, training for the marathon. I had SI joint pain, planter fasciitis, I felt compacted in my spine after the weekly long group training sessions, and my feet were continuously sore. Dr. Ryan was able to rid my body of all those aches and pains over several adjustments (throughout the marathon training) and a series of at home exercises he had me follow. His adjustments reminded me of my FIL's adjustments. They were quite literally head to toe and a full mind and body experience. I had never felt such an incredible release throughout my entire foot before. To this day, when Dr. Ryan manipulates my hip and leg by, for a lack of better words, "pulling my ankle to release my hip joint" my bones in my feet release too. Such a sense of relief! The original need/want for regular chiropractic adjustments was my neck, a constant source of tension and cause of headaches. Dr. Ryan's neck adjustments are smooth and controlled and have always made me feel at ease. With my regular monthly sessions, I don't have headaches anymore. ****I HAVE THE DEEPEST RESPECT AND ADMIRATION FOR DR. RYAN AND CANNOT RECOMMEND HIM HIGHLY ENOUGH**** I may have to write a follow up review b/c I'm so long winded that I had to delete paragraphs b/c there wasn't enough room ... stay tuned. Excuse my TYPOS! read more

I've been seeing Dr Ryan for almost a year now and I almost want to not tell anyone about him but because of how good he is, I've told all our friends already. After seeing numerous chiropractors, only Dr Ryan was able to really fix my lower back pains from child birth. He's very throughout with his examinations and adjustments. I always leave relieved from my aches and pains, and a whole new person. Excellent bedside manners. I highly recommend Dr Ryan. Book ahead cos he's getting busy! read more

I am beyond grateful to Dr. Ryan Dawson and the incredible healer he is. I have been seeing him for the past 2.5 months and his energy, intuition, deep knowledge of structure and function, and multitude of healing modalities make him one of a kind. He is not your typical chiropractor. He takes the time to get to know you as a patient, making you feel safe and comfortable, but also help you to obtain a level of pain relief and functionality you forgot your body even possessed. He has really helped me with headaches, neck, upper and low back pain through his adjustments, strength and flexibility exercises, infrared, cupping, and more. Having worked for a chiropractor in my 20s and now as a primary care physician serving the greater West Hollywood community I am lucky to have him in my personal healing journey. -Thank u Dr. Dawson. read more

I've been getting Chiropractic care for over 3 decades and recently started seeing Dr. Dawson. I've come to the conclusion that not all care providers are created equal....Dr. Dawson is one of the best. read more

I visited with Dr. Dawson today and the adjustment was LEGENDARY. Great relief for neck, back and all the rest. Very intuitive chiropractor, magic touch and I feel 100% better now. Dr. Dawson also explains what he's doing and why and offers great health advice/tips to take with you when you leave. Highly recommended. read more

I've had chronic neck pain for years and have seen many chiropractors but none of them compare to Dr Dawson!! I love that he takes the time to stretch you before the adjustment, it really shows how compassionate he is! After seeing him just once I felt better then I have in months! read more

My experience with Dr. Dawson today was absolutely amazing! He is by far the best chiropractor I've ever been to. I felt relaxed and comfortable throughout the entire visit and left feeling wonderfully blissed out! He knows what he is doing and can work his magic on anyone! I will definitely recommend Dr. D to everyone from now on! read more

Wow I'm feeling so much better. Thank you!! I Went in with a bad left shoulder, not being able to move it at certain angles without pain. He did some holistic work as well as some adjustments and I now 2 days later feel so much better. Looking forward to coming back for another session. Dr Ryan is the best! Give him a try! read more

Dr. Dawson and his office are fantastic! I was referred by a friend after something went out in my back, and I am so much better after just a few visits. The office is incredibly responsive and always works to find a time to get me in, and Dr. Dawson is so thoughtful and really knowledgeable about the body - he gave me lots of stretches and exercises to work on outside of his office so I can feel better long term. And he's very careful with me when I'm there, he doesn't force anything, and makes sure my muscles are warmed up before he does any adjustments. They are also very careful about covid precautions: everyone is masked, they have fans running for ventilation, they only see patients by appointments, and they sanitize everything before you come into the room. And they work with my insurance! Highly recommended. read more

Dr. Dawson is one of the best Chiropractors I have been fortunate to visit. My favorite aspect of how he works is the time he takes when I first get on the table to assess what needs to be done. He combines questions and palpations. He has used some adjustment techniques new to me that deliver relief I didn't think was possible. I recommend him without qualification. read more

I was referred to Dr. Dawson by Dr. Mcomber and Nancy last summer after complications from a freak accident I left untreated in 2020 forced me to seek chiropractic attention. I had started experiencing a constant ache in my left shoulder which I found out was impinged. I had limited mobility in my left arm, and even the simplest tasks like getting dressed would cause pain. Oftentimes the pain would wake me up at night, disrupting my sleep. I was feeling pretty demoralized to say the least. Dr. Dawson was like a miracle worker to me. Aside from his solid neck and back adjustments, he incorporated visualization, active relief technique, and various stretches to a 2-month plan he created. It was quite a journey, getting treated twice a week for 2 months, but I am now pain-free, and have regained 100% mobility in my left arm/shoulder. I can attest to the fact that he truly cares about his patient's well-being, and I am forever grateful for everything Dr. Dawson has done for me. read more
